Impatiently Waiting

[asuarez1985 7]

I have been waiting for 7 months now. Yesterday I got a response to my service request and it said that they were still waiting on my security checks. That they couldn't predict when they would receive the security checks but when they do they will make a decision on my case. Has anyone gotten the same response, and if so what happened next? How did you proceed?

I know exactly how you feel. I submitted my application on November 30th and was received on December 3rd. I went for my biometrics on January 3rd and my case status remained at "Initial Review" for over 5 months. At the beginning of May I began calling them directly and the first time I called they said that the office processing my case was reviewing cases from August and that I had to wait until they got to the December cases. I called each week to see how it was progressing and the first 2 weeks they said they were still processing cases from August. Until finally on the next calls I could see they were moving along. I would check online hoping and praying it would say something different. On May 29th I finally saw a change, but it was that they had sent me an RFE. My heart dropped not knowing what they were going to ask me to send and because I thought that this was only going to delay my process even more. Fortunately they only needed copies of my ID. I sent them in and would check daily to see if they had received it. Finally on June 11th they showed the receipt and said that they were reviewing once again what I had sent. I continued to check daily and finally today it shows that my applications were approved yesterday. I finally felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I would constantly read forums of people who were still waiting like me and all of them who had been approved said to be patient and to have faith. But that was definately easier said than done. I know its hard to wait specially this long but just keep praying, and keep calling them to get the latest status.
