C-file wait time

[SPO]

So I have crossed over the 6 month mark since requesting my c-file.  I have checked online and called the 800 number without getting any further information.  I have also tried contacting Mary Ann Wentzel, who's name has come up in multiple places, but the email was not deliverable.  Any other ideas to get an actual status, or to get this thing moving before I run out of appeal time?

SPO, That has come up many times in the past and unfortunately, there isn't an answer you want to hear. You can't make them give you a response timeline, or, make them give you a copy. They would say they are "exhausting" all possible place for your "complete" file. I don't think 6 months is unusual. Sorry.

SPO it can take forever with everything else. I requested mine in March and they are still gathering information. Nothing you can do. Its the painful process we have to deal with. Hope it comes in soon for you. I'm not expecting much since i've been trying to get my medical records since 2010 and they can't find them. Good luck

Not sure how many times you sent in a request but more than once is better  than just once.

Send in the FOIA  Each time so they don''t mail you back  snail mailand tell you to send in a signed FOIA.

 I request my C-file through the Janesville Wi claims center  by regular mail  and requested it again from NRPC in St Louis...they kinda frown that I had requested it twice  but I got  sooner than 6 months.

Alex Graham  AKA  Asknod  said to request it more than once  your bound to get it sooner or later  in my case it was sooner.   let them piss and moan if they don't like it.

Mary Ann is no longer at the NRPC -RMG..I GUESS SHE RETIRED OR QUIT? She was very helpful getting my C-FILE IN 2012

Mine took 8 months to get. I think at month 6-7 I asked about the status.

Just curious, is there a point to file a congressional complaint or something?  Even if I did, would it be a waste of time? I am over 9 months waiting now with now update of any kind.  I ended up having to submit an HLR that was a long shot (which got denied) just to preserve my effective date.

SPO I truly think it would be a waste of time, unfortunately. I think as several have advised, submit another to Janesville or to NPRC, whichever you didn't send it to originally.
