We wrote a letter to the USCIS district director as well.

I don't even mind being delayed, it's the uncertainty of not knowing what the heck is going on with the application that's overbearing.

Do they need more paperwork? Did we do something wrong? Is the file literally just collecting dust on a window ledge in some office? Do we need to bring more proof? The uncertainty is much much worse than even an RFE on additional interviews ...

On top of everything else, we filed the I130 concurrently and it's being processed at the NBC (MSC**** receipt). We don't really know what's going on with that one either.

Just brutal all the way around.

A few years is absolutely unreasonable.

Should I retain a lawyer?

Ok, what's the next step?

File a case court against USCIS?

Fellow visa journers, I'm hoping you can help me.

I am a USC. My wife came to the US on a B1 visa. We got married 07/31/2015. We applied for AOS and EA in August, 2015. Our priority date is 08/23/2015.

The process was very smooth up to the interview. She got her EA, SSC, DL, etc, and is currently working.

The AOS interview was on 01/07/2016 at the Chicago office. It went well, the IO was very positive and made it sound like we'd have the GC within days. She did not, however, approve or deny the application and she didn't give us any paperwork.

As of today, we have NO idea what's going on with the AOS application.

We tried NCSC tier 1 and tier 2 requests to get status updates and we had two InfoPass appointments, all to no avail. We submitted a request with the Ombudsman and we're waiting to hear back on that. We've also wrote our senators and representatives.

Basically, the response we got from USCIS is "it's going to take as long as it takes."

Is there something else we can do?
