Wow I thought my case was bad. I've been waiting since aug 12 2013 so over a year. I would keep telling her to call or send it online too. Keep at it. Me and my sister in law applied the same time. He got approved back in June I think. I'm here still waiting. I just got a update though on Monday saying the my alien registration number has been changed. But still reads initial review. Not sure what that means?
