About To Hit The 11Th Month Waiting Period...losing All Hope. :(

[Mizar1 2]

So i did another inquiry with the USCIS, and today i received an email just saying that they have a "huge workload" and that they will try to get to my case in "an expeditious fashion", under what the resources allow them. Every time they tell me the same thing. Never a concrete answer. Has any one else been waiting this long as well? What else can i do? I'm giving up on this dream.

It sucks! I have only been waiting for 8 months and its frustrating. They keep telling me that they are still waiting on my "security checks". Everyone I know that went through the same process got theirs papers within 3-5 months. 

[Mizar1 2]

I know...all the ppl i know got theirs a long time ago...at least they are waiting for your security check, I think mine hasn't even been picked up from wherever it is.

I did that and it didnt help me out, they only did a service request and got the same answer..

[asuarez1985 7]

I've been hearing that a lot from different people; to contact my congressman. I think I will do that just now.

[Mizar1 2]

i did that as well...twice. It didn't help

[Dreamer3oh3 40]

Mizar do you not have a lawyer?

[Mizar1 2]

Yes, i do...but all he tells me that i have to wait, that supposedly there's not much to do. USCIS won't allow to even get an info pass.

I'm right there with ya. I did a service request couple weeks ago, and they said they are pending my decision due to a security check they still havn't received. I don't know what that means but nothing more I can do but wait. 

[Dreamer3oh3 40]

I'm there with you guys Im pushing my lawyer to do something but this is all he says:

"we have to wait for the government to tell us what the issue is - that information will come in writing. The inquiry you filed should receive a written response. When you receive it, please forward it to us.

 

There are further steps to consider including a liaison inquiry and/or congressional inquiry, but we need to take things one step at a time. You should get a response to your inquiry - it may or may not be informative. Also, our fees do not include dealing with this kind if contingency so additional steps will involve additional fees.

 

I do not recommend taking any additional steps for now. If you do not have a written response within the next two weeks, we can discuss other steps. If you do not want to wait, we can discuss fees for additional steps.
 

Idk what to think anymore *sigh*

Your lawyer is right. If you filed a Service Request, you have to wait up to 15 days to receive the response. There are other steps you can do, but many people have already tried them and have not have much success. If you're application is still waiting to be reviewed or waiting on a background check, nothing you do can speed it up since there isn't a set time to when our applications have to be reviewed. 

[Mizar1 2]

You know what Dreamer3oh3, at least your lawyer is being clear and straight forward on what the next steps might be. Mine doesn't tell me anything like that. I'm the one who has contacted the congressman and done ALL the inquires. My lawyer says that all i have to do is wait; the inquiries that I've made all they say is that they will work on my case on an expeditious fashion, the congressman, all they did was another inqury like the ones I've done; yet i'm on the 11th month...Did your lawyer tell you what a "liaison inquiry" is? I haven't tried that one yet...lol.

Hang in there guys ur time will come,uscis recieve my application oct 19, 2012 and last month they send me a rfe and just today i check my status and they are in production on my card, so i waited a long time too, every time i would call my lawyer he said that uscis was behind on reviewing applications, and i did the same thing call uscis a few times and put some service request

I filed a service request a month ago. My lawyer isn't back in his office until next monday, which is when I will file another service request.

I feel all that stuff you did, your lawyer should be doing. AILA Liaison collects case reports from members in an effort to identify and track emerging trends and issues from the field. That's what I found online and basically you can't do it by yourself, you'd have to go through an AILA member (i.e. an immigration attorney). You might wanna go this route but that's something to discuss with your lawyer you know. Bcuz it's an extra charge to do this.

[Mizar1 2]

Yeah, i know but i guess what he wants is more money...plus i'm the one who truly cares about my case, i feel my lawyer doesn't...lol.Yeah i will ask him, i just wanna know what's happening with it, you know? I'm pretty sure i'm one of the few out there who has waited thid long..  

[Dreamer3oh3 40]

I feel the same way with my lawyer. SMH it's like we're asking them to be behind us for free. Let me know tho if you do go thru with your liasion thing

[Sammy305 1]

lawyers are useless you give them money.. they represent too many cases to put emphasis on one..

[Mizar1 2]

you are so right about that Sammy305, they do have a lot of cases...but again that's their job to "help".

 

@ Dreamer 303, I think i'll ask my lawyer, i'll see that if by asking him to do this if he he is really willing to help me...
