She said that the average wait time is 6 months, and they are making June applicants their priority; however, there is nothing she can do until it has been at least 8 months. She said to keep waiting and call back at 8 months to see what my options are.
I applied the same day you did, and I also called today. After explaining my situation, the call center person began with, “You’re not going to like my answer.” He then gave the same information about the six- to eight-month wait, and there was nothing he could do. So I thanked him for his time and concluded, “You’re not going to like my answer. I will be contacting my Congressman's office to ask the constituent services folks to escalate it.”
