K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat's going on with VSC??

That thread is 2+ years old and there is a new director there. Policy and rules change, so it isn't good to quote an outdated article. Regardless if the "we don't hold others back if there is a problem" is still in practice, which it is.

Karma....you don't want it to come back and bite you now do you?

If that thread is no longer valid, it should no longer be stickied.

As to the whole who deserves it more thing, no one is saying that it's not harder on Monyfer because she's been waiting longer, we're saying that just because she waits longer doesn't make her more deserving. Does she love her fiance more than we love ours or something?

I will never think that one person on here is more deserving than another, and USCIS does a great job of putting through what they can put through, and though Monyfer may feel that it's at her expense, I'm sure whatever USCIS lackey has her file on their desk will be happy to see it get out of their hands.

Who would I LIKE to see get theirs next? Of course I don't want people waiting that long for their approval, so I'd say Monyfer or any of the others. Does that make them more deserving of an approval than anyone else? No, it does not.

To come on a public forum and tell everyone that you don't want to see any more March filers getting approvals because you don't have yours yet, and you deserve it first is very hateful and rude. So much so that two people got banned from this thread because of the anger it caused. We are in this together and should support each other, not tell people they don't deserve to get their approvals because you haven't gotten yours yet.

Not more important, but more deserving because I have been waiting so much longer yes. First come first serve. I won't change my opinion on that. I knew coming in average processing time was 5 months and waited patiently for that...not double that.


From the sticky in the K1 Visa section from outta the mouth of a director from the VSC:

So what about some people get approved ahead of others?

Sme petitions have problems or delays, we do not hold back others for this. If an adjudicator has problems, he puts that one aside or sends an RFE and goes on to the next. The next one may be clean and gets approved right away, in just a few minutes, they adjudicate 15-20 petitions a day per person, and the ones with problems may wait weeks for the petitioner to respond to the RFE, or maybe it is a name check they are waiting for. Petitions are assigned as they arrive, when we are working on those petitions, but they do not go out the door in the same order they came in.


No one is more deserving of a fiance visa than anyone else, no, not even you. You would think that if you were more deserving, then they'd hold back everyone else while they work on your case. Because you aren't more deserving, as you say you are, they aren't doing this, and rightly so.

Lets all take a deep breath here everyone.

For the record I think what you have had to endure Stuart and Thea is terrible too and I am very sorry to hear it but I am also so happy to see that even with the bump in the K-1 road you still managed to get your NOA2 in just shy of 6 months. That's fantastic considering what happened to you :thumbs: and if you were in Vermont I fear the outcome would still be pending sadly :( Regardless of all that congrats on your NOA2! :dance:

PS. please dont chase me with a pitchfork and throw stones at me I bruise easy :innocent:

-Genee



I was considering myself as a March VSC filer because it took over a month for my NOA1, so I've been following along with them, as well as in the May group as Igor puts me there. To count from my NOA1, I got my approval surprisingly fast. It's a matter of perspective, and staying positive and supporting each other has been really great. We even have a facebook group so we can chat with each other and support each other and cheer each other when we get approved. To come on here and see people belittling others because they haven't had it so bad just makes me mad, especially when they weren't even saying they had had it bad in the first place. As to Monyfer, if she has said something she didn't mean, then she should apologise.
Stuart and TheaFemaleCanada2011-07-17 11:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat's going on with VSC??

We have been waiting almost ten months, so I really hope they are working on my case now and that is causing the delay. I am sorry, but we deserve to be approved before any more March filers.



So, you're somehow more important or better than the March filers we're to take from that comment? I only have one word to describe someone using a statement like that, and it's spiteful. (actually only one word I can use here, the others might get me banned)

I will repeat, it's not about how long you wait, everyone gets their turn and the USCIS does not process them in the order they come in. Waiting is hard, but please stop making yourself out to be special because you've been waiting longer. It's pissing me off, and probably a ton of others on here too.

USCIS LOST my first petition. They SCREWED UP my second petition. Did I feel entitled to get my NOA2 before others did? NO, in fact, while I should have been a January filer, or a March filer, I ended up being a May filer. Did you see me bashing people who got their NOA2 before I was originall hoping for mine? NO! Did you see me telling anyone lamenting about the wait that they have no reason to complain unless their cases were screwed up like mine was? NO!

I'm sick of your poor me attitude. You're not the only one that has had problems in this process, you're not the only one that ever will. Quit thinking it makes you special because it doesn't!!!!!!!

EVERYONE WAITS. It's unfair, but that's the way it is. If you didn't know that coming in, then NEWS FOR YOU!!!!

Your long wait sucks, I hope it's over soon. But quit with the attitude, you're no better than anyone else.

Waiting to be with the one you love when you should be together is painful. Waiting is hard. But my point is that it doesn't matter how long you wait, whether it's one day, one month or one year, we all have to wait, so we're all in this together. YOU were the one that in your first post said that you were more deserving because you've been waiting longer, when the OP hadn't said anything about her own wait. You misunderstand, and yes, you do appear to be spiteful of others that haven't had to wait as long as you have.

Is it fair that you've had a long wait? No, not at all. No one in here was saying that at all. No one was saying that they needed to be approved before you. No one was saying anything other than the fact that VSC seemed to be slowing down. You're the one that brought up the whole timeline thing.

And to repeat what the OP said again, when it's raining, we all get wet. I'm sorry you've had more rain than others, but you're not the only one here.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat's going on with VSC??

.we are here for support and i hope that the OP gets approved soon....but when people complain about 3 months waiting they will stand to get people respond that have been waiting longer....


That's just it, the OP wasn't complaining about 3 months waiting, it was the October filer that jumped in and changed the topic of the thread from VSC slowing down its approvals to a: "you've only been waiting 3 months so shut up cause I've been waiting longer" thread.

If people read the OP again, they will see that the post includes ANYONE waiting on VSC and being frustrated by no action on Igor's list.

HAHAHA.. First you tell us that we are "jealous" when we said that we HOPE that you all don't have to wait as long as we do/did..

& now you tell us that we are complaining??

I guess you haven't found your English dictionairy yet :idea:

You are funny, girl! :rofl:



If you're going to insult someone's English skills, at least learn to spell, it's DICTIONARY, not dictionairy!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat's going on with VSC??
I think the OP was complaining that there were no updates on VSC lately, and it looked like it was slowing down. ANY progress on Igor's list is a blessing for those who are waiting, whether it be 3 months or 10 months. It gives the sense that they are at least processing forms, even if your waiting, you want to know they're doing their jobs.

As to the whole "March filers quit complaining because we deserve it more than you because we've been waiting longer" rant that I've seen in here, isn't that akin to one couple suffering a miscarriage telling another, well, I have had 3 miscarriages and you've only had one so what are you complaining about?

We all had to wait. Some of us more than others, some of us are still waiting. That's the thing, it's no different waiting one day, or one month, or one year, it's gotta happen. So during the waiting process, be civil and stop thinking poor me, I'm more hard done by than anyone on here. This goes for the VSC/CSC ranters too, yes one moves faster than the other, but you don't see anyone saying one deserves it more than the other because their line is slower. That's just pure selfishness.

For all of you who are waiting, or who waited, just know that we all hate this part of it. When it does come, and sometimes surprisingly fast, be happy and thankful that you're getting through. And yes, continue to lament that there are no updates on Igor's list, at least when there is an update, be it for an October filer, or a July filer for that matter, be happy, because it means progress, and progress is good.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI'm whining! I want my NOA2 and I'm a March filer!

More often than that.. more like 2-3 times per week.. A bunch of people were approved Monday night and tuesday morning.. I called at 4:45 EST and my I-130 petition arrived today (not in the system yet but the initial bar code scan was done this afternoon by NVC).


Have you tried emailing them? This post from the May filers thread seems to suggest that as an option: My link
Stuart and TheaFemaleCanada2011-07-21 17:48:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI'm whining! I want my NOA2 and I'm a March filer!

well things are much nicer on the other side of the fence right now either . Having an NOA2 is like having a gate in a picket fence in the middle of the yard.... you get to the other side only to find out you are still in the same yard, but no diea where in the yard you are.

I know wiating for NOA2 is hard. I know you just want it. I hop everyone gets their soon and quickly who had been waiting a long time. Taking 6 months or longer to rejoin is just awful. But right now, NVC is worse then molasses in January. Since independence day the whole thing has come to a standstill. or a trickle here and there... Be glad to be waiting for your NOA2. It just means you can actually use 90% of your alootted 16 weeks, versus losing 3 to 5 weeks in post-processing as many are doing right now. Almost 30% or more of post NOA2 is being lost.

I know you wnat, but the line you are coming to is extremely long, and getting longer.... and the front of the line just is not moving yet.

Darren, it looks like the CSC sent out a batch last week that were waiting almost a month, there are NOA2 dates from Jun22 getting from NVC now. We might be able to follow this and guess on what days that CSC sends out thier batches, like, is it once a month, every two weeks? Just have to keep an eye out for another set of NVC posts, in a week or two hopefully? That way you can determine if you have to wait close to the full month, or if you're at the half month, like some filers were earlier in the year. I know we don't plan on calling at the 5 day mark, why tie up their phones when they should be working on inputting case numbers from USCIS???

Okay, first of all, when a man gets off, it's either polite to make sure she gets off too, or to thank her. Did you try either of those two options? And she's still crying? Maybe you'd better save it for marriage then, or ask her why it brings her to tears....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 SURVIVAL GUIDE
I read posts about the process on here, chat with my fellow March filers on Facebook, look up the city I'm going to be living in to see what it's like. Where's the library, where's the best gym, shopping, etc! I research the schools there, the best moving company, I pack, I'm repainting and remodeling in my house to put it up for sale. I'm going to every festival my city is offering, it will be my last chance! I plan to hang out with friends and family more for that reason too!

My fiance and I will download the same movie and watch it at the same time to have movie night. We have made the same meal and eaten it together over skype for date nights. We joke around a lot, cause what else can you do? We pretend that I'm already there sitting with him, and I'll say something routine, like, "oh, I took your jacket to the drycleaners, it will be ready tomorrow if you want to pick it up after work" and silly things like that, just to have a sense of normalcy, even if it is only pretend, it still feels good. One filer on here says she set her computer up with a webcam and falls asleep with it on her and one on him so that they can see each other sleeping if they want.

We have the rest of our lives available with each other, in the grand scale of things, this is a blip in time, it will barely register when you have been together for years. Just use the time together to get to know each other as well as you can. I firmly believe that we know each other better than couples that aren't thousands of miles apart, because we can do little but talk. Whereas if we were closer, there would be other things we'd be doing instead, preventing us from getting to know each other a little, right????

I say, however much the waiting hurts, however hard it is for all of us, and however unfair, or wrong we feel it is, it's really going to be a good thing on retrospect, as we will end up with someone we love, rather than someone we just kinda stuck with. No one goes through this unless they mean it. (sad for those whose fiances might only be marrying them for the green card, but you know what I mean, this is too hard not to be true love. this is too hard not to be worth it in the end.)

Jan, I feel for you and the other March filers that still don't have their NOA2, it hurts that you aren't along with us already at NVC waiting on the next step. I can't imagine that you'll ever turn into a heartless b1tch over it though, you're far too sweet for that.

Stuart and I know how hard this long wait is, and every day we remind ourselves how it will prepare us to never take each other for granted, that even the simple things like passing a plate across the dinner table will be precious to us, and it's not always to those that had it easier. Your love will prosper all the more because of how hard it is to be together, I promise you that, if you keep that same attitude. And when finally you both are together, all this waiting will be a faint memory.

That day that you get your NOA2 will be the first step towards being with him, and what a wonderful day it will be. Many of us will cheer with you when it comes, even if you have to be a little more patient.

So, some of you may remember that during my last trip to Orlando, I saw a snake through the condo window near the bushes. Since I have a phobia, I basically had a panic attack and realized that it's a huge problem that I need to deal with, especially moving to Orlando. So, while I was home in Canada during the last month, my work hooked me up with a therapist....

Last night, Brian and I went to run some errands and I decided that I wanted to go into PETCO to "maybe" face my fear. Well, it took a little time, but I was a few feet away from the aquarium!!! 26 years of this phobia and I was standing right in front of an aquarium with snakes! I feel very proud!

That's my good news for the day!

Stephen and Elisa - I am so happy to hear that you are now together in the USA! Congratulations!!! Now the next part of this crazy journey is done together, side by side!

Missy - I hope you feel better soon. You are so close! Just remember that it is all worth it. You can do it!!!

I'm in Orlando for the next few days. It's nice to be back down here. Home in Canada right now is just so busy, so it's a perfectly timed visit because I desperately needed a little breather.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

It's nice to hear that packages are being shipped from NVC! Let's hope those in AP get out of there soon!
