It's hard to stay positive now for me because of one reason...as each day passes without an approval, seems like having Leidy here for Christmas is less likely!! And to have to be without her for the holidays would be soooooo depressing!!



I am so afraid that everything will get even slower during the holiday season when they all decide to take vacation. Because they all work so hard.....

So if I sent it overnight on 6/4 I can assume they recieved it the next day. The letter I got in the mail notifying me they got it was 6/20. How do I know exactly what date they got it?

I hope....ami missing anything?


Dump her. She is an idiot. In addition to that, I would definitely send a letter explaining her incompetence to some venue so people are warned before using her services. I am not sure where you go to complain about services, but I would look.

####### is a service enquiry??? Pat just called using the RFE trick and explained our situation that we've been waiting and the fuckin lady told him that they don't know anything about the case, that we have to wait and that she will fill a service enquiry???



It just means they are $**^& idiots. She obviously didn't know what she was talking about (shocker). Don't let it throw you.

Can I just say that I flew in from England last night and I took one look at the U.S. Immigration people and it took everything in my power not to start ranting. I know they have absolutely NOTHING to do with my process, but it didn't matter. I realized I just hate all of them for being associated with it. blink.gif Actually, it was quite funny. They asked me if I was in England for business or pleasure and I told them it was none of their business. HELLO-I LIVE HERE!

Hi all! Well it seems like its been slow today but are you calling? Pete? Mirla? Anything? I hope Byron comes back and gives us good news! Tehy need to appove April & May already!!!

I just called the NVC and my case went off to the embassy... they also gave me a new case # (as Zee said they would). My question is can I use this # to track when the consulate receives? Meaning does the web have a feature where you enter your new Case # and get answers. Just wondering. Not that it helped much when I entered my case on the uscis site! ok, still bitter... sorry smile.gif

Perhaps, I should search these answers on another thread but I dont want to leave you guys no0pb.gif


I'm not sure about tracking your case online once it has left NVC. Once it leaves you are in the embassy's hands.

You may want to see if the embassy has a system set up where you can track it online.

Good luck smile.gif


Thanks Zee... I just wondered how people obtained the "consulate received date" thats why I thought you could track it. Again, thanks for all you help. And best of luck on you tentative plans smile.gif I am too afraid to make any plans myself.


I was away until today visiting my So in England so I wasn't able to say CONGRATULATIONS until now. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Processing time is different depending on countries. Some countries take super super long time until interview dates. Some couples have been waiting almost a year and other couples got visa within 6 months. It depends. Also processing time at USCIS varies. Each case is different. We are not marrying the same person. Everyone is different. So, just extending the estimate time does not apply to everyone.



It seems you are downplaying the terrible service we are getting. We will see how you feel and the tone of your posts after you have been waiting 4, 5, 6 or more months for your NOA2. As I said earlier, don't wait until it is too late to help yourself, write your elected officials and media now! Here are the minimum points to make:

The system is not fair. The 6 months is not reasonable when added to all the other times for steps in the process to be apart from your loved one, as is the prioritization of work visas over K1/K3 visas and the fact that USCIS does not let you pay for and get 15-day premium processing like many other types of visas. Don't wait...do it for you and your loved one now.


NO ONE is disagreeing with you that this takes too long. Her point is that the total amount of time it takes varies. EVERYONE agrees we should do everything we can by writing to the appropriate people.

I was certainly not trying to chase anybody from our thread, but I am just as sick of hearing people root for VSC as they are of hearing me criticize them. When it is time for me to root and be happy I will...that day won't come until VSC proves to me that they are treating us reasonably and timely. I am not only down on them because I have been waiting since May, but I am also considering the impact this will have and is having on the July, August, etc etc filers until they get their ####### together. I know that most of us complaining the loudest are also doing all we can do outside of VJs to influence a positive change; writing congressmen in and out of our states, writing USCIS and DHS officials, media, etc, etc. We need to channel all our energy into turning the USCIS negative trend around and not use it to cheer for them while they give us atrocious service. I agree to be hopeful that eventually it will come, but I see nothing wrong with sharing our frustration and teaming to influence positive change.

I actually wish amrssnowangel the best with her loved one and hope they are together sooner rather than later.



I think it's an ugly baby personally, but IMO there is a little men are from mars women are from venus thing going on here... i.e., seems women like the cheering on vsc? men a little more demanding?

I know this wait is hard on everyone..lets keep positive. VCS is working....remember....we have far fewer petitions filed (on VJ) than CSC...so if we only have 25% of their approvals, we are on track. Its not how MANY CSC approves...its the percentage in relation to over all petitions filed we need to watch.

CSC in the last 6 months took in 481 K1 Petitions. While VCS took in only 130. We have only hold 27% of the total visas filed in the 2 centers....soooo
in the month of October they've had 49 approvals. VCS has had 7. So the percentage of our approvals compared to theirs is almost 15%. A bit behind but not by much....only 7 or so petition difference. Bearing in mind..MOST of those CSC'ers approved sent their petitions IN May and waited longer for noa1...so even if noa1 is JUNE..they waited since MAY for this just like some of us here...hang in there...it will turn around soon.


VSC is working? Barely. And at a pace that will result in all of us waiting a very long time for our approvals. You have been telling everyone that it will turn around soon for months. I guess eventually you will be right but it has not happened yet.

VSC has 27 VJ K1 petitions sent in May that still need to be processed. Since the first of October they have approved .35 VJ K1 petitions per day. Do the math.

I will feel positive when I see some positive results. As of now all I see is VSC dribbling out approvals at a pace that will put them farther and farther behind.


Well, I think its unfair to say that VSC is barely working. You might want to clarify that they are barely working on many I-129f petitions, but they are working on something. Its really sad, since VSC was known and envied for its speedy approvals. Something has happened to decimate that productivity. As much as many of us say, "If I worked there, it would be different", I doubt that's true. They are told how work is to be prioritized, whether they agree with the directive or not. I hope that adjudicators will soon be allowed to begin focusing on our petitons, cos I am just as frustrated as the rest of you guys.


You are right. I assume they are working their little tails off on something. Unfortunately it is not the things that are of primary concern to this group.

Just in case there is any confusion, there is nothing in my post that attacked the adjudicators. I assume most people realize that the prioritization decisions are made by management and not by individual adjudicators.


Everyone needs to realize that, even if it didn't happen in the above post, some days people will take it out on the adjudicators. We are stressed people. If that makes us feel better so be it. It isn't personal. We have frustrations and we need to vent them. We have ZERO control over any other part of this mess. Let us at least be able to do that once in awhile without judgement. No one needs it. Ok-I said my piece. smile.gif

Do to the backlog at VSC, can't they send their K1/K3 visas to CSC? Didn't they send a lot of visas to the Vermont Service Center when they were backed up?

By the way, I also agree calling the service center is a complete waste of time. The reps have no idea what they are talking about and it just pisses me off more. wacko.gif

Hey!

I saw that some of you were wondering about why we got approved so fast . And i can only answer...I have no idea! My fiance is not in the military, we didn't send any nude pics tongue.gif biggrin.gif , we didn't contact a congressman. Actually we did nothing exept waiting. And we were also prepared for a much longer waiting.
I can only explain it that we maybe had a very good organized petition, a lot of proofs and we both had no "complications" in our past, like previous marriages, children, a lot of relocations and so on. Or maybe we just had luck smile.gif .
And ja, you are also right that everything is in the moment very fast for us. I have already received the pack 3 from the embassy in Germany.

I hope this helps a little bit!

I really wish you all that you will get approved soon as well! I know how frustrating it is sad.gif .


Congratulations to you. I am glad you didn't have to wait and you can get going with your new life! kicking.gif

I see VSC is still treating us like ####### and so far CSC has already cranked out 11 NOA2s to VSC's 0. Damn, this is insane. How did we get to this point where the government treats us (US Citizens) like #######. Even the IRS provides better service than this. Big business is ruling America as shown in Employment VISAs given much faster processing times and even offered 15-day premium processing as well to thrown sand in our faces. They make me want to puke. mad.gif


Big business and government are in bed together. This will take years to change, if ever. Makes me sick!

Alright, I just called my lawyer and I'm kinda scared about contacting Pat's congressman. I told him that some friends had recommended me to contact Pat's congressman if we don't hear anything from USCIS by the 6 months timeframe.....and he said that it could work or it could delay things more cause USCIS doesn't like when applicants get congressman involved with this, he said he wouldn't do that. So I was very pissed off and just wanted to get off the phone cause we payed him for nothing.....anyways, I asked him very straight, what do you recommend us? He said, Wait for the notice and don't send any letters.
The @sshole said that in case USCIS exceed the 6 months, they will let us know and I asked if he has any idea for how long more could that be in case it happens...and you know what he said!?!!? I don't know, I'm not the government, it's up to USCIS.....
MOFO! mad.gif
Now, I don't know what to do......I only hope I get my NOA2 ASAP!!!!!



FIRE HIM! You just paid for that useless phone call.


Fire him!!?? I wish...We paid him in May to do our process......it will be useless to hire another lawyer.....


Oh, so you pay them for the entire process up front? Ah, gotcha. Didn't realize that. Lawyers are almost as bad as the government. helpsmilie.gif

Awhile back I had written a letter to the NYC Public Advocate (Betsy Gotbaum). They passed it on to another person (Ralph Perfetto, Ombudsman) who wrote a letter on my behalf to:
Andrea J Quarantillo, Director
US Citizenship & Immigration Service
26 Federal Plaza, Room 14-102
New York, NY 10278

Now I've received a form letter with checkboxes from that same NY address as above, saying I need to provide:

"The alien registration number, if any, of the beneficiary."

Does anyone have any idea what this number might be? I looked at my NOA1 hardcopy but it doesn't seem to say anything about this. Any ideas?


You don't have one yet. You can't register if you don't even have permission to enter the country as an alien yet. They suck! Stupid bureaucracy!

Oh man! Stupid catch 22!!
well, thanks for the info. smile.gif

NOA2: 10/2
NVC received petition from VSC: 10/9
Consulate received package from NVC: 10/12

IF you want to know..email them and ask...simple as that..maybe he's miltary...maybe there is extenduating issues...maybe they did a request for expidite....maybe congressional intervention...ask...


But according to their own admission, they don't have any idea why they were so quickly approved.

So even if we email them and ask, they will probably say the same thing, right?


I agree. It appears that they just happened to get into the right adjudicator's box of files at the right time.


Good for them. I am glad they are approved. Lets hope all of us get into the right hands as well. We need those may filiers approved! LETS GO ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a good time. I've been wanting to go to Ghana but can only afford to go for a weekend myself and feel like spending $1000 for a weekend is much too extravagant for my middle class budget.

That's good news too. I don't remember them being posted here for approval.

I'm about at the 4 month mark. I think my senator is Hilary Clinton. I wonder if that's a waste of time. She's preoccupied.


She may be preoccupied, but she also needs to be elected. i would work that angle and take advantage.

Steph1973,
Thanks for the update. Glad to see you are not just sitting down and waiting on the system to help you. You are out there trying to help improve the situation. Everybody needs to because at this rate of approvals it will take more than 6 months for some folks to get their NOA2. We want to do all we can now and not try to help ourselves when it is too late and we see a date beyond 6 months posted on the VSC processing times chart (as is now with the CSC chart)

Good luck all. As US Wendy said in one post, get angry...this will help drive you to take action that may just help you and those after you. For those of you who filed in June and later, if you don't take action and see yourself waiting more than 6 months, don't say I didn't warn you and try to help you negate your plight. The system needs fixed and families need to come before employment VISAs, period. Premium processing needs to be offered to K1/K3 VISA petioners, period. The more that fight for these changes, the better the chances for success. Good luck all and may you get to spend as much time on this earth together with your loved one as possible.


This may be a stupid question, but who has the right to change the law so these visas are prioritized correctly? Who should we be targeting our efforts towards?



From everything I read, USCIS sets their USCIS service level commitments also known as service level goals for each type of application/case. As far as I know, only the I-485 has a specific timeframe based in law as they allow processing of an application for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) within 90 days of filing as mandated by law [8 CFR 247a.13(d)]. If anybody else knows of any others, speak up please.


Yes, its the "law" set for I-485's that I am interested in understanding. If I want to argue that this law is unfair when compared to the lack of law around the K1/K3, I want to speak to the right people. Congress?

The Washington Post Reporter called today for an interview. She asked a lot of questions about our process, how it affects us and how VisaJourney is a needed support system for us becasue USCIS doesn't give iformation or support. I made her well aware of how inept they are and how the heart of VisaJourney is to provide information and support that USCIS should be doing. Also how the delays in adjudicating out petitions impacts us financially, physically and emotionally. I gave accounts of how we get misinformation and how inept the ENTIRE process is from start to finish. She said she will write the article this week should publish in about a week as well...Im sure we will see it very soon. Cross your fingers...I say...we ALL buy a Washington Post...cut out the article and ALL mail them to our senators, representatives and vermont director...with a small note stating this is just the first of the installment of educating the public how our tax payers dollars are spent. Maybe remind them an election year is coming..its thier chance to make an impact.


Great idea, just keep us informed as to when it goes public!



Check this out guys...seems 2005 saw the SAME backlog for the SAME reasons...and its STILL not fixed???? Who says it will be fixed now???? Or EVER??? Even more reason to be heard..read what this article says about contacting your states representatives....
