Little Johnny was on a park bench stuffing all of his Halloween candy in his mouth. An old lady came over and said. "Son, don't you know that eating all of that candy will rot your teeth, give you acne, and make you sick?"
"My grandfather lived to be 105 years old!" replied Johnny.

"Did he eat five candy bars at a sitting?" the old lady retorted.

"No, said Johnny, but he minded his own freakin' business."

The sky was dark
The moon was high
We were alone
Just she and I
Her hair was brown
Her eyes were too
I knew just what
She wanted to do
So with my courage
I did my best
And placed my hand
Upon her breast
I trembled and shook
And felt her heart
Slowly she spread
Her legs apart
I knew she was ready
But I didn't know how
It was my first try
At milking a cow

Well boys and girls, a lot of us are officially one month into the fun. That's some solid progress. If we were filing at CSC we would have been approved by now headbonk.gif
Just kidding.

I think soon we'll start to move along much faster and CSC's employees will be so burnt out they'll all go on vacation at the same time, and NO ONE at CSC will be approved for three months, and we will dance on their petitions as they gather dust.

Oh. I said that out loud didn't I?

Eeek, not what I want to hear but what I feared was closer to the truth. Sadly, when I first started stalking these forums ages ago, I was excited to know that I'd be using VSC since it was incredibly faster than CSC. Not the case anymore.

I want to stomp my feet - or better yet, move! ranting33va.gif

With my luck, though, as soon as I'd move, VSC will pick up - haha

Bono - Captain Ewok is a VJ Admin and the one who put Igor's List on VJ, made the changes and is currently updating I believe. That might be why it's being referred to as Ewok's list?

I thought maybe some of you might find this interesting reading to pass the time.
It's about what goes on at the service centers....


Receipting of Applications and Petitions at Service Centers
The procedural steps below pertain to applications and petitions in general. Since all service centers have contractor personnel handling mail, file and data entry, this segment deals with receipting requirements only in very general terms.

(1) Open In-coming Mail & Deposit Fees. Since in-coming mail often contains fees, the in-coming mail room is a secure area, with access limited to specified personnel. Mail should be opened the same day it is received. When this is not possible, arrangements must be made to record the actual date on which the mail is received from the post office or private courier so that the receipt date can later be recorded on the application or petition itself. The receipt date is important to ensure fair, chronological processing and to enable efficient case tracking. Most importantly, the receipt date may be critically important in determining an applicant’s legal eligibility for a particular benefit. It is important that all mail be opened; fees removed, logged and deposited; and initial data entry completed as soon as possible.

(2) Screen for Applications and Petitions Which Must Be Rejected. No application form may be accepted for processing unless it is completed and signed and the proper fee submitted. If, subsequent to receipting, a check submitted for payment is returned as uncollectable, the receipt (priority) date is forfeited. Rejected applications receive an "R" or reject number in the CLAIMS tracking system. Because rejection occurs before completion of CLAIMS data entry, the system maintains only skeletal information concerning rejected applications and petitions. If a rejected application is later resubmitted, process the case as if it had never been submitted.

Although the instructions for each type of application or petition specify where that application or petition is to be submitted, submission to an incorrect office (or incorrect post office box where more than one box is used by a service center to sort cases by application type) is not a reason for rejection. Such cases should be receipted and routed to the appropriate office for processing.

(3) Affix Bar Code. Affix the CLAIMS bar code receipt number on the application and forward the case for data entry and file creation. (This data entry is when the NOA Receipt Notice form I-797 or I-797C is also generated)

Roglover - welcome to the waiting game! To prep for the Noa2, so far we've been collecting extra copies of papers we only had singles of at the time of filing and I've been trying to print out phone logs, email logs, and chat logs every week or so so it's not such a big chore down the road.

BL2B, JimandChristy, & Jim&A.D - CONGRATS on the Noa1's! Pesky lawyers :/

Just noticed:

We keep on moving backwards on Igor's list...we used to be 434...now we are 444... yikes! unsure.gif
mmm why do you think this might be?
Just because more people are adding on time-lines, maybe a little delayed from when they filed?
Curious if anyone knows....

Also, anyone have an idea of how many *other* filers are out there who are *not* on VJ (and therefore not on Igors list)? You think it's twice as many, 3 times? maybe 10 times?


THANKS!


Mamaronga - Same thing here. We started at 432, were down to 427, now up to 434! I hate it. crying.gif
It looks like the list is going from the sent dates and I am cursing those. Don't you think it should go by Noa1 dates since that's when USCIS actually starts the process by putting us in a box?

Moving backward is an aweful feeling. I know it doesn't mean a whole lot, and it is just an estimate after all...

But it makes me cranky.

Yasser - Yes, the last time my case was updated at USCIS website was 12.16.08. It hasn't been touched since. We don't have any sort of expedite or anything (I wish we did crying.gif ). I am in the same long waiting boat as everyone else. I'm not sure why I got those early touches. They were probably just putting it on a shelf somewhere wacko.gif

I've been watching wishfully as some of the September CSC filers are getting their NOA2s. I haven't seen any VSC filers from Sept yet though. VSC seems to have slowed down unfortunately. What I'm hoping though, is CSC slows down after the holiday and VSC picks up with all their people coming back from vacation and stuff. Here's hoping smile.gif
There is seemingly no rhyme or reason to how they pick who. Most of those getting approved don't seem to have expedites. There is hope for us all!

Time has seriously started a very slow crawl for me. I'm going to have to get busy doing something else so I don't go bonkers checking the USCIS site every hour for the next few months.

Welcome to BL2B & NatPatBen. Great to have you guys here with us. It's so exciting to have our little group grow smile.gif *Fingers crossed* On your Christmas NOA1's.

Nat -

1) Where is Igor's list? How does one get on it or use it?
http://cse.ssl.berke...vjdata/vsc.aspx
If you fill in your timeline on VJ you be added to the list automatically.

2) What website do you use to know when your paperwork has been touched? Do they send you this information with the NOA1?
https://egov.uscis.g.../jsps/index.jsp
You can go to the USCIS website and create an account. You can then use the receipt number from the back of your cashed check or from the NOA1 you receive in the mail to add your case to your portfolio. When the date on your main portfolio changes in the 'Last Updated' section, you've been touched. You won't get that information via email or snail mail unless then send you an RFE or something major changes. Touches can occur just from moving your file from one box to another, so it's not the best indicator that anything is going on for awhile.

3) For the I-134 Affidavit of Support document that will be needed for the interview, is it too early to gather the bank/work statements? Should I wait until NOA2 happens so that it's more current?
From what I've read it's probably better to wait until you get your NOA2. I understand you will have at least a few weeks between that and the actual interview to get everything together - that way it's fresher for the interview.

CONGRATS on finally getting everything off in the mail. What a great feeling huh? We waited 2 years to send ours off. I was so ready!

After attempting through my bank to get my case number off of the back of my check yesterday, I received the hard copy of NOA1 in the mail (12-15-08).


Congrats PurpleFrog!!
It seems like VSC had a little processing burst. I also got my hard copy the day after I was able to view the check online. I'm hoping that's good news for us. Maybe the wait won't be quite so loooooooooooooong. *fingers crossed*

Also, it looks like IGOR'S list is working better. We went from 428 to 434 to 428 again lol.

Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between May 5, 2009 and May 15, 2009.
For awhile there it was estimating end of June. wacko.gif I never thought I'd be so happy to see May as a final date again smile.gif
