Thanks Gary, It is greatly appreciated. It looks like the last person you got in touch with pulled through for you. I would like to know what you said or wrote to him/her to get their attention. Everyone I am writing and speaking to seems to have no interest or care about the process. I wish I could find someone with a little fire..

I contacted both of my Senators and my Congressman. Obama and my Congressman LaHood wouldn't give me the time of day. Senator Durbins' aid Mr Tim Sullivan was very nice and took a real interest in my case. But the clincher was when I made this list and sent it to him. It illastrated in black and white that I was left behind. After I did that he worked his a$$ off every day to get the CSC's attention. He sent my charts and my email (I must have worded it to his liking) and then didn't give up until he talked to the director herself. The director personally had a supervisor pull my case and a few others like it from Illinois and told them to adjudicate the cases. Sure enough mine and the others were approved in a few days. I can't thank Mr. Sullivan enough. Anyone from Illinois should consider contacting him if your case is behind like mine.
Try downloading the latest file in MSWord form, highlight your name and send it to your represenatives. It may shake things loose.
Here is a copy of the email I sent. Now this was sent on Aug 26 so the stats are now wrong but if you plug in your own info and update the stats it might help.

Mr Sullivan,
I have been doing some research and I made some charts
I would like you to see.I belong to an online forum
that deals with Family Based Immigration called
VisaJourney. If you care to check it out the address
is http://www.visajourney.com . We have a very large
membership and keep detailed timelines so they can be
tracked. I compiled a list of our members that have
filed K-1 petitions so you can see for yourself the
random and unfair way the USCIS is dealing with our
petitions. I filtered the list to show only K-1
petitions submitted to or transferred to the CSC with
dates starting March 6 (the day IMBRA went into effect
and everything seemed to fall apart) to the last
petition approved for a June NOA1 date. It is sorted
by NOA1 dates from earliest to latest. I also included
the total number of days it took for approved
petitions. I have now been waiting a total of 163
days. As you can see, the longest wait time for an
approved petition has been 159 days. On page one I am
number 23 on the list.
Here is a breakdown of how the petitions have been
adjudicated:
March: 81 total petitions. 47 approved. 34 waiting
April: 60 total petitions. 37 approved. 23 waiting
May: 62 total petitions. 32 approved. 30 waiting
June: 26 total petitions. 13 approved. 13 waiting

As you can see they are NOT going by the NOA1 dates at
all. If fact it seems totally random. In addition, The
USCIS web site lists processing dates. For the last 2
months it has been stuck at March 6. Today it was
moved BACK to Feb 23. I find this way of doing things
arbitrary and totally unfair.
You need to look at the .doc file with MSWord because
wordpad makes it look jumbled.
Please let me know if you find out anything new.
Thanks,
Gary C


Good luck to you!!
Gary

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEvidence of meeting - too much, not enough, decisions decisions!
Luz and I met online so that isn't an issue. Like sarah and hicham said, at this point all you have to do is prove you met within the 2 years before you send the petition. Luz and I had been together 5 times before we filed. I included about 15 pictures from the various trips, copies of my ticket stubs and copies of my passport stamps. They seemed happy with that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Trends derived from Gary's data
That would be me getting better at finding inactive and duplicate members. I try to weed out the people that just sign up and never come back. There are also members where both the petitioner and the fiance have accounts and when I find that I eliminate one of them.
