K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	New VisaJourney timeline for CSC	Looking at all the charts, I have a feeling we're going to start seeing more June and July approvals pretty soon. Somebody in this forum a couple of weeks ago compiled the total NOA2's during the months of July and August - and based on those numbers, he projected that the remaining March, April and May filers here on VJ will have their approvals by the end of September, and then June filers should all be approved by no later than the end of October. At least what we are seeing with these recent approvals, CSC is cleaning out the March and April filers first. Hopefully they got a grip on the fact that they were approving some June filers out of order, but my hunch is that was because they stopped going by NOA1 dates and were processing on a first come, first serve with IMBRA RFE's received. Their error in that, it appears, is that they didn't look at who used the old forms when they sent out the IMBRA RFE's - I believe they assumed that any petitions received before a certain date used the old forms, which would explain why myself and others with NOA1's toward the middle of June never got our IMBRA RFE's. What a fiasco of mismanagement on their part. I hope somebody over their gets fired for that. 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 You rock, Gary! I hope he lit a fire under their arses! The CSC Director should get fired over this.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	New VisaJourney timeline for CSC	Thanks, Gary! How's that cloud you are riding on right now? hehehe... Doing good! Planning on a trip sometime in Jan for her interview!! Something to look forward to again!! That's awesome!!! I just got a letter from my Congressman. I had requested that he inquire on my behalf. He says he'll do it but there's no guarantee. From what I've seen, getting your Congressman or Senator involved does seem to help. Here's to hoping.	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-09-10 01:28:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	June - NOA1 - IMBRA - CSC - RFE	Howdy fellow VJ members, I just wanted to give some hope to those of us who have been waiting for the IMBRA RFE from June. Our NOA1 was June 17th. We had no touches updates or anything until today. After 3 months we finally got our update. One touch and the email for RFE. Not positive its IBMRA RFE yet, but we used the old form so I'm pretty sure that's what its going to be. I hope everyone else who has been waiting with no touches and the old forms gets there RFE soon! Here's to Quick processing to everyone stuck in CSC Limbo! -John I just logged in to USCIS...still nothing regarding my IMBRA RFE... sigh	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-09-13 13:20:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Holy cow! CSC now approving June applicants!!	Wow! Checked my email today and they sent me three approval emails!!! First I thought somebody was playing a dirty joke. I wasn't expecting it since I know so many others are still waiting from March and April. I filed in June on the old form and never got touched or the IMBRA RFE. I thought they just had forgotten me. I didn't even bother to waist my time calling them because I know they're not going to give me any useful info. I was becoming fustrated and impatient seeing so many people already had gotten their RFE, so I just filled out the new application and attached it with a copy of my NOA1 and a cover letter requesting that they replace the original K-1 application. I did this last month and they never even sent me a confirmation that they had received it. And today I get 3 emails that they had approved me on Sept. 11th! Anyway, just wanted to share this info with those that are in the same boat and hopefully this will help you out. Congratulations! Peter, you used the new form???	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-09-14 10:42:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	GOT 3 E-MAILS OF RFE	Got 3 e-mails of RFE today......wondering if this is 3 different RFE or just e-mail duplications. Anyone ever had multiple e-mails for the same thing? BRAVO STEVEN and JINKY !!!! seems like you got your RFE e-mail today also. Dup I would say. I second that! Multiple email concerning the same item are common. Unfortunately, we don't know why that happens. Cheers!!! Because 3 times a charm?	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-09-18 13:48:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	touches mean nothing	This post was not meant to "diss" Sirelancelot or Devilette. My point is that what ever changes and gives us a "TOUCH" or what ever words of help VJ'ers can give you, this is what life is all about:) It's realy about words of Encouragement! Every Man has his idea of the future, The future will not be played for the Man who has no plan. It certainly does mean something - at the very least it means your petition hasn't been lost or forgotten which does happen to some. That was what I was most worried about and it was comforting when I saw that my file had been updated for the first time.	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-09-18 21:43:00
