It's hard for me to keep track of everyone but have you contacted the Ombudsman? Details are below if you need the information. Your way be on normal, even for these recent months. It's time to bring out the BIG GUNS. 

 

@AA&JJ you and Amy & John might try both options below.

 

First try shooting off an email to the Ombudsman at cisombudsman@HQ.DHS.GOV The Ombudsman provides an impartial and independent perspective to USCIS in an attempt to resolve problems.

 

Second try your U.S. representative's contact information can be found in this handy directory, and your U.S. senator's information is in this one.

 

If you receive a response and it contains anyone of these sentences this will be the meaning of that phrase.

 

If the CSC response is due to a congressional case worker inquiry, the service center will say "security checks"

 

If the CSC response is from a regular service inquiry from their website, the service center will say "adjudication"

thanks. we have done both. ombudsman is still waiting to be assigned to an officer and congress has sent off inquiry and we are awaiting response.

Welp, I got some good news. Case has been approved!!

 

Old site: November 14th, not updated still says received,

New Site: November 16th, approved case July 19th

For those still waiting, please be strong and keep the faith . I had two more inquiries submitted (4 total). I believe they do work.

 

Noa1: November 14th, 2017

Noa2: July 20, 2018

8. 2 months total, no RFE

You got approved????? Congrats!!! More hope ours will be soon.

As pointed out already, I received the exact same message as well as everyone else who sends an inquiry. The service centers send the same message to everyone. And they'll just send the exact same message again if you request another service inquiry in another 30 days

 

It doesn't mean it hasn't been touched, it means there is a security background check issue they need to further investigate. As greenbaum pointed out, it's now a waiting game. If you can wait long enough for the NOA2 you win the game. If you withdraw, panic, change your mind, then they have won the game. Some posters withdraw and that's the end of it. Other posters stick it out but for me there is no question what my option is: Stick it out.

the one above sais due to security checks... ours doesn't even say that it just sais pending adjudication which sais to me..... security hasn't even been done?

im worried our case is lost.

Wow that's crazy, and your beneficiary is from a low risk country right? (Canada)

 

We have a poster here who waited 3 years for his NOA2, they made a thread about it, it was insane. As an 8 month+ waiter so far, reading your story and others helps me to be more patient.

whats the thread for this??

We applied in July of 2017.

We just received our NOA2 at the beginning of June 2018...

did they ever give you reasons why it took so long?? starting to feel like ours will be the same Day 258 currently

This is what we recieved from them.... good to see after 8 months our case hasn’t even been touched.

She can. I just offered how to do it.

have done both these things. no response. ombudsman can take up to 120 days for a response.

this is very hard my fiancé works very long hours and sometimes 7 days a wk so its becoming incredibly hard  

Just now, TogoAfrica said:

Did you speak to a level 2 person? Just doesn’t make any sense! You should be able to file a claim for out of processing time 

have been put through once to a tier 2... well not me as im the beneficiary but my fiancé did the other day and the guy said im in new York and cannot see anything because im not in California.

they just lie. I have done two out of processing inquiries and basically had no answers.

2 minutes ago, TogoAfrica said:

I’m very sorry!!! How can that be 😫! You must be able to file an investigation or get some kind of answer from the government about your file!?!?!?! You have called and got no help!?!?!?!? Just doesn’t seem right 😢. I truly hope you get some kind of clarification/Anwser soon!!! 

we have called... they do not help. we have been given no answers on our file not even to say its still in security checks. slowly but surely loosing hope we will get our NOA2.

seems like some petitions just don't get looked at ever.

257 days? did you call to uscis? it is very strange.. 

yes have called multiple times. they are no help they just keep saying it takes 5-7 months.... even though they can clearly see we are now well into our 8 month.

Same here... day 213 and it's really starting to make me mad... each day you hope it's going to be the day and nothing but frustration and letdowns 😤 whyyy is it taking so freaking long?!?! 

Really hoping it's coming soon!!!! 🙏

1 hour ago, Rocko20 said:

Nope. No RFE, no kids, no prior marriage, no prior petition filed, no crime, etc.

 

I agree it does seem the RFE folks have been approved faster 

Have you contacted uscis & what have you been told?

November 29 (new site). However, this is the 2nd time we are filling. Our first K1 was refused, we filed a I 601 waiver and that was denied as well. I'm ready for this nightmare to be over

im nov 1st and nothing as yet. why were you denied?

15 minutes ago, theatregirl24 said:

1363 of November still untouched?  Yet they are already working on December.  This is beyond heartbreaking. I don't know how much more I can take.  We've been at this for 6 years now. 

whats your NOA1 date???

8 minutes ago, Rocko20 said:

You’re not alone, Nov 14th here, waiting just like you. 

seems to only people who have had RFE's being approved

have you had an RFE???

Im wondering if we are sending enough proof, re photos. We have only visited each other once in our relationship.

 

we sent about 10 photos us together in Australia and the usa, also photos of me with his family. my parents wrote a statement saying that had met and had my fiancé stay with them when he visited.

plus copies of passport stamps and boarding passes for our visits.
