USCIS Service CentersWHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH VSC?

I faxed a help request from my senator today, Georgia.  This is a dis-functional process that needs to be fixed.  I have filed in February 2013 and I am so depressed to see so many people still waiting from last year!  There is no telling when we will be approved.  

It is so horrible to be away from your love...thank goodness for Skype.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Can some one please help me?

I would take it as good sign!  If it has left their responsibility, then the Embassy should be approving.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsContacted my Senators

This was my letter: <all personal information was included to them along with the signed privacy statement>

 

I filed my paperwork February 18, 2013.  It was received February 20th, receipt number sent and my cash was cashed.  When I filed my K1 application, the timeline from the USCIS was 5 months for processing.  It was then moved to 5.5 months and now it is stating they are working on applications from October 2012.  The VSC is also transferring applications to other facilities and those poor folks have no idea when their applications will be processed.  I have called several times to understand why the timeline is changing so much and all I am being told is:  "Your case is in initial review, that means initial review, thank you for calling...bye" or "possibility sometime in September 2013".  This just seems unbearable to want to be with you husband and not knowing when the paperwork will even be worked.

When I filed my application, I had an anticipated completion of sometime in June/July 2013, now I cannot get any type of explanation or updated timeline.  And to be told by them that it will do me no good to contact my State Senator is a poor answer in my opinion.  Who else can I turn to for assistance?

I assumed that the process would run smoothly and that my fiance and I would be together in the United States sometime in July.  We are following all of rules and guidelines laid out by my own government for immigration process.  I am new to dealing with government agencies and that is why I am asking if you would be able to assist me with this issue.  I fully understand that your office cannot grant me an approval, I am just asking for a realistic time frame for my application to be worked by the USCIS.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsContacted my Senators

I am a February filer  <VSC> and after reading so many topics here, I decided to go ahead and contact my Senators.  Although it has not been 5.5 months since my filling, I figured it could not hurt.  

 

Saxby Chambliss:

In an effort to be of assistance to you, I have contacted the proper officials with the USCIS and ask that your request be favorably and expeditiously considered.  While I cannot direct the agency to rule in your favor, I can help ensure that your case is given every possible consideration.  To help in the speedy resolution of your situation, I have assigned Annette Stokes to work directly with your case.  As soon as information is available, I will be back in touch with you.  Feel free to contact Annette with any questions.

 

Johnny Isakson:

An inquiry has been forwarded to the USCIS on your behalf.  As soon as we receive any information, we will notify you.

 

I will keep everyone updated on if this helps!   GOOD LUCK TO US ALL ON OUR JOURNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsanother transfer.........

I was so excited to finally receive an e-mail from USCIS today, only to read.....

 

On June 21, 2013, we transferred this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) to another office for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case. We sent you a notice of this transfer. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.

 

 

I really just do not know what to think.....not sure were I was sent.     Is this a good thing???? Is this a bad thing?????

I know I have only been waiting since February 2013 and I am about to crazy going through this process!   How do the poor folks make it that have been waiting since 2012???   This process is almost unbearable.

Thanks to everyone that replied....I know and I am expecting the process to take about 7 months, give or take.   I was just having a "down" day when I posted.   All is good, I do know the day will come when my fiance will be here and we can begin our life together!!!!   Good luck to all of us  dancin5hr.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTransferred to ......... so depressed

I know there are other post out here about this, but I just needed to reach out to someone....

 

I am a Feb 20th filer for K1 visa, then on June 21 my file was transferred to "a USCIS office".  I have not received a letter tellling me where to, I am assuming Texas since I live in Georgia.  I called USCIS today to inquiry and was told I now have to wait an additional 180 days for any type of approval...

Really?????   I see people on here that are approved not to long after a file is transferred...I will go crazy to wait 4 months before I am outside of the "normal processing times"

 

Is this just standard thing they say to you or is it really 4 months before I can inquire again.....
