I would make... ... an inforpass appointment to find out what is going on. 9 months since you filed the I-130 is way too long. They can at least try to find out what is going on with your application at the infopass. If that doesn't work, then you should call your congressman to see what his/her office can do. They have a special group who works on these type of cases.

9 months that does seem like a little to long, however, please do not forget who you are dealing with "goverments" which means anything can happen. just get on the phone and see what the hell is going on. good luck!

called and spoke to an immigration agent and all she said was that I was going to get a letter within a 30 day period and if not I needed to call back. all she explained was the backlog of vermont. she did not have specific reasons why it has taken so long. I did make an appointment at infopass, would it make a difference if I go to the appointment, will they give me more precise answers. what do you think?
thanks.

Yes!... ... definitely go to the infopass appointment because what they do is get straight answers directly from the CSC agent for you. If they can get them, of course.

If that doesn't work, call your congressman and they'll try to get you answers. On VJ.com most petitions from June have been approved, so it's not normal for you to be dragging behind.

Best of luck!!!

what should I bring? all the papers I sent along with the I-130, well I think that makes sense. well If you know of anything else let me know, thanks a million.
I will keep you posted, now my husband has me upset b/c I asked
him to get some info in colombia from a friend who hooks up people
and his familiar with the whole system and now he does not want to, he just made up some dumb excuse. Im frustrated as hell. This is complete Bull, don't mean to vent. but when people do it for all the wrong reasons everything just works out for them perfectly. IT SUCKS!!!!!

9 months is nothing... we started our paperwork for the i-130 in feb of 2005, and she finally had her visa in hand around sept of 2006. but then again, we were going through the california office.

infopass appointment? USELESS. The immigration agent here in NY sucked, well my case is about 9 months old and have received nothing but the NOA1 back in june adn nothing since, and thsi agent has teh audacity to tell me to be patient. how much patience do you want from me? all she said was "be patient" nothing about the case, zero, zap. To make matters worst the F$%# at ing B. had an attitude, some people were arguing and they ended up being escorted out, I certainly did not want to be one of them but I was not too far from snapping. This entire process is BS and it sucks.
I keep telling my husband I should have married a NY resident but I believe is worth waiting for him although is so frustrating.
Thank you guys for your comments.
keep you posted.

Vermont is handling my petition. I believe they are a "BIT" backed up. I'm tired of going online and looking at the case status to find out that nothing has change.

If you don't get any satisfaction from the USCIS, talk to your representative and senators. Some of them have immigration liasons who do nothing but look into these kinds of things. They may be able to help.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

i tried getting info through the liasons... yup, been there did that too, with both senators and our representative. they gave me the same info as the uscis, clarified parts of the process, and generally advised me to be patient.

well, I guess I will contact my senator. I hope they can tell me something different from what the USCIS and my infopass appointment have. thank you guys for your advice and support. I think I should just move to cali.

did some looking back... for us, our receipt date was 5/11/5, got the approval notice 1/6/6, and if i remember right, we got the visa after the interview around the end of august of 2006. be careful with the liasons, i got frustrated with the system with one, and he stopped returning my calls.

The liasons are not all created equal. Some of them don't do squat - others will rattle the cages of the bureaucratic monkeys working on these things. I went to one who worked for the Chairman of the House Committee on Immigration and believe me, ass got kicked hard.
