USCIS Service CentersK1 Processing Time
If I'm not mistaken, US is issuing around 9 000 000 visas a year. Ours is just one of many and, unfortunately, lower prioritized than other ones. I wish this process was fully electronic with as minimal human factor as possible, but we are not there yet. Also, officers in the Service Centers play Angry Birds all day long :innocent:

USCIS Service CentersIs Csc even open?.....

We have been waiting for nearly 6 months now and not a whisper of NOA2. :( I wish they would start processing some K1's!


In the Immigration Timelines sections I see that CSC is currently processing Oct 4 filers. How reliable this info is?

Shouldn't everyone be free to post their thoughts/beliefs on the forum? I'm not religious but I believe everyone has a right to post their beliefs for comfort.

I think CSC need a kick up the back side to be honest. I feel so sorry for those at CSC. And to think how annoyed I was in January that I got VSC.


You don't have to post your beliefs for comfort. You have to have them, that's it. :ot2:

:( This is so sad. But I know God is in control.


This is good you believe in deity and I respect your beliefs. Please respect mine as well and keep them to yourself. Because as far as I think, god is not in control anywhere in this Galaxy. And at CSC people are in control and they have just created a "plumbing mess". And by this I mean tons of sh*t just clogged the system and it DOES NOT FLOW. Maybe they should employ millions of illegal immigrants to clean the "plumbing mess" and also help them to process applications faster? :bonk: :devil: :alien:

USCIS Service CentersIdea to draw attention to our plight
It could be possible to record videos of couples, say, during Skype communication saying one strong line: Tired of waiting, for example, or any other one. As soon as we get around 15-20 couples we can produce a video and try to distribute it all over internet in hopes it goes viral. Of course we need to apply some hollywood techniques to the cause, and make an accent on extreme hardship of the situation, showing the line of actual miles of distance between couples, and showing last time they saw each other. Add some good sound track to this and you got an emotional response.

We are awesome at living apart. We have been doing that for 2.5 years. How much more practice do we need??

I prefer there is no practice of this kind and you are overdoing it already.

But what do I know? I am apparently supposed to be spending my time getting to know my fiancee.


It's more like getting to know how to live apart from each other. Getting to know period ends when her status changes from gf to fiancee.

Yes, I left a comment as well :angry: CR1/IR1 visas are also affected by all this BS :devil: However, there are thousands of comments, so I doubt anyone will really read them... At least it felt good to rant...


And lots of those are actually not in support. If we keep our comments emotional and explanatory maybe someone will notice. PR person or whatever. It will not hurt to voice our opinion :blush:

And my comment there:

Eugene ArcticRobot Mazur I will absolutely hate liking this post. Just because this quick fix of our immigration system pushes way back K1 Alien Fiance petitioners and the wait time is just incredible. 8 months + for petition to just go through USCIS California Service Center? Are you kidding me? YOU ARE KEEPING FAMILIES FROM FORMING AND LOVED ONES APART! These DACA people are together, and we are separated, and there are thousands of us. Outrageous. You are preventing legal family based immigration from happening!

I think we should all chime in!

Edit: this is Service Center related hence in this part of the forum. We need to form a force to push every possible lever and be heard.

OP,
will you be so kind to start updating your original post with guidance, addresses and steps needed to address the issue on all levels and bring some attention to the matter? We could also create public google document forms with all the wording already pre-filled for all the officials we need to contact. I disagree we need to write individual original letters. We need mass letter shut-out and that can be achieved only if everything is prepared for people. Government officials will not read individual stories, but they will notice massive reaction.

where did you get this info? honestly i find it hard to believe that they transferred I-129f's to TSC

There was no indication in USCIS official statement that I-129F's are being transferred.

I suspect from a fire supression system.

USCIS Service Centerswhat is going on with CSC
No matter what is going with CSC but they are approving petitions at the higher rate than usual. For most of us, especially post-December filers, it's an excellent sign. For black hole people it is outrageous. Overall - they are working hard on I-129F's and this is good.
arcticrobotMaleRussia2013-04-16 07:39:00
USCIS Service CentersCSC Moving forward or backward?

At this rate, they might finish off December within a week or two. I wonder which month will be randomly selected next

USCIS Service CentersWaiting - how do you manage your fiancee's expectations?

My fiancee is Russian too and of course waiting is quite familiar to her as well. But is a little difficult to explain to her how it took only a week to get her Schengen visa for our upcoming holiday but the American visa will likely take 8-10 months. Makes us look worse than Russia in the bureaucracy department which is quite a trick! Overall I think the waiting itself is ok with her but she's stressing out understandably about her son and school. As long as they are here by August I have no worries but if it pushes into September or October then there will be some issues (which we will deal with when the time comes of course).

Shengen is non-immigrant visa and K1 is almost immigrant(with intent to immigrate). It is quite easy to get American tourist visa as long as you have strong ties with mothership, I mean Mother Russia. :dance:
arcticrobotMaleRussia2013-04-17 15:40:00
USCIS Service CentersWaiting - how do you manage your fiancee's expectations?
We always talk. We always there for each other. We set milestones and work towards our goals. In the meantime we are trying to get tourist visa so she can come and be with me until our i-129f is approved.

It's probably easier to travel while fiance visa petition is pendind if you had your tourist visa issued before you applied for K1.


Since this is not what is happening right now I can't speculate on that.
