I filed petitions for my parents in December 2004. They were interviewed in LA DO on July 6, 2005. The officer said that everything was fine, and that they'll contact us thru mail in about 2 months.
2 months passed... In September we went to DO to find out what's going on. We were told that the INS has 6 months to respond to this kind of cases. Later on I called the 800 number, made a request about the status of their cases. Got a response from USCIS with the same answer.
On January 6, 2006 (in 15 days) it will be 6 months after their interview, and we still haven't gotten anything. I kind of lost hope that coming 15 days would make any difference. Just tired of waiting...
And because the applications were sent to LA DO, I don't even have a receipt number for them (per CIS, they don't give receipt numbers to applications sent to the district offices). Their FP letter did not show any receipt number, the cashed checks don't have anything like that, either.
Is anyone in this kind of situation? Or, Has anyone received his or her GC recently? Please share your experiences.
Thank you.
