Gegemon & Slt, Definitely try the "Congressman" route (try a couple of times even if it does not work the first time). I think the only reason my case went back into processing was the fact that my local congressman's office called the VSC and pushed our (my wife's and mine) cases into the...

Got my passport stamping done in Boston... Now I guess I can breathe a bit easy, and wait for them to send me the card in the mail :) I hope all the old timers (Barney, Antonl, Gegemon) get their approvals soon! The new guys don't have to worry too much, things are going very very fast now...

Finally Approved after 2 1/2 Years of Agony! My I-485 was finally approved after exactly 2.5 years. My wife's LUD also changed but the online status hasn't. Waiting to see whether we both receive our approval notices at the same time. In our case, calling our Congressman worked. Oherwise, I...

Hi Arjun & Mendieta: Thanks for the tip on calling VSC. I did speak to someone there yesterday. But before that, last week, I called my congressman's office again and told them that 2 months had passed since they spoke to VSC (see my post earlier in this thread) but I have yet to receive my...

How do you do that (call VSC directly)? I thought you had to go through the national support center phone number...

It is pretty frustrating!!! Despite a call from my local congressman's office almost 3 months ago (now I'm wondering, did they actually call the VSC???), I still haven't heard anything about my FP2. I've exhausted pretty much all my options except knocking the door at the VSC! I'm sure their...

Hi Antonl: No changes on my side :( No FP2 notice yet. Time to call the local congressman's office again :mad:

This morning, I got a call from my congressman's office that USCIS will send me and my wife FP2's immediately. They spoke with someone at VSC. This means that finally someone is looking at our files. Well, I'll believe the FP2 notice when I see it! Anyways, in case anyone is interested, here...

Dudes: You guys have absolutely no chance. It's just a matter of time before I become the VSC champion. Remeber, I haven't even gotten my FP2 notice yet. Nothing to feel proud about though... The Pandas

open_sesame & mendieta, Thanks for your comments. I started a case status inquiry in the at the beginning of November (I think), and they responded on 11/22 saying "Our computer systems show that your petition/application is still pending Service consideration. Please allow 90 days to hear...

Congrats to everyone who got approved recently. I hope the activity means that finally someone will remove the dust from my file and notice that they haven't sent me an FP2 notice yet... On a related note, I have completely exhausted all the expletives in my vocabulary; so if anyone has any...

Same here. I received that letter for me & my wife... These guys are a bunch of #$%@!!# (pardon my french!). I seem to be the only 2002 guy on this OR board who hasn't yet received a FP2! Hopefully my inqury will trigger that. Actually, I've stopped caring a little. Basically because my I-140...

The reformatted tracker looks awesome, antonl. Thanks for your effort!!

Updated my entry. Actually, there's nothing special to report; just moved my entry up a few spaces in the tracker, because I realized I had entered in my ND instead of RD. Also, no FP2 yet :( Called in yesterday to start a status inquiry using new processing date. However, considering the...

Hey Mendieta: Congrats on your getting your FP2 done. I guess after an agonizing wait it was well worth it, right?? Good for you. As you know I'm still waiting for my FP2. Who know, maybe one day someone will wake some guys up at VSC and they'll start speeding things up. Until then I guess we...
