It is very easy for those who were processed or united with their SO in under 2 months to defend USCIS....i don't think it is understod how hard and stressfull it is to wait so long and on top of it, to be kept in the dark without a single clue as to when you might be getting an NOA2....Something is seriously wrong with this!!



Byron I am not exactly sure that this is fair to state as this is not really about defending USCIS it is about understanding that there is a reason someone is an ASYLEE. For the most part they are generally here for their safety.

As for being processed quickly....well if you read our timeline this is not the case for us. If you read the RFE thread you will see my posts in there. We had a hard time of it due to USCIS (VSC) errors not our own. It took over 4 months to get our NOA2 from VSC and never did we get a correct answer when we called the center itself. It was not easy, however I can honestly say with hand on heart that I cannot compare the k1 process with those that are ASYLEES...not the same at all. Like I said the wait is difficult, not knowing anything is even worse, however at least we are safe and our loved ones are safe.

If you feel the need to be upset over time frames, then think about how hard it is when those that applied after you are receiving their NOA2's and you have not even had a touch....been there done that!

It is the way the process is. Does it need to be fixed..sure I believe so. But when it comes to ASYLEES, I will not complain.

On a personal note I have been a victim of a violent crime, and I can promise that there was nothing more important to me then the need to feel safe. Hence why I am a Victims Rights Advocate today.

I for one would not want to be an ASYLEE. I feel for those people for the most part.

"If there are asylees in this country who were victims of political oppression in their homeland, and the US government wants to make some exception to process their cases prior to family based cases, that is admirable in my opinion.

Being separated from your boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse a few weeks longer in order to save removal of persons who might possibly be sent back home to tyrannical governments should not be a reason for outrage".

I have to agree with RebeccaJo on this one.

It is not easy to have to wait through the USCIS process. I for one was not happy with the process, however, I do believe that those in NEED should have some priority.

It is not different to being TRIAGED at the ER. Heart Attacks should and do go before ear aches.

If we were being set aside for back ups do to their own accord that is different.

There is a reason why they are Asylees and if we can help then we should. If the way we help is letting them be a step ahead then it is all good.

We may have to wait a bit longer (not easy I for one know this), but at least we are safe and our loved ones are safe.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWaiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?
As much as I hate to say this....VSC is slow and not very organized. I think they were the hardest part of this entire process for us. Not very timely. Time cost on their errors. Not consistent with their updates or there verbal information via the telephone. The positive thing is that once you are out of VSC....sailing should be smoothe and swift.

Happy Holidays!
