hey your screen name seems so familiar i think I remember you from the beginning 2012, I also sent and got a receipt on 10/23/2016 bio on 11/14 approved on 01/26/2017 the only reason I got approved is because I called the congress person and she helped me out I actually bug the crap out of her first she emailed the Nebraska service center and got the generic e-mail at least I thought it was and than I made her call them and got approved that day after she made that phone call. why don't you at least reach out to your congress person regardless if the are dem or rep I live in houston and they are all rep but I didn't care they are there to help the public
