Lots of recent K1 approvals are for those of Oct,Dec 07, and Jan 08 filers.

I called and talked to a very nice lady at USCIS yesterday, and all she could tell me was that we are still within the normal processing time. She said "I know it is frustrating, but just give us some time". I really wanted to go off, but she was very courteous, so I couldn't. It just gets me, that my friend filed last year before the fee increase(which was to pay for more help) and got NOA2 in 100 days. We payed three times the price ($455) and are very realistically looking at 150+ days. Where is this so-called help? I think they all must have went to VSC, because CSC processing times are at least 33% slower than last year at this time. I honestly thought we feb filers were going to "OWN" the month of June, now it's almost gone, and we have the 4th of July looming, which will probably mean people using it as a jump start to an extended vacation. I just dont want to get stuck like the last few approvals from mid-jan and God forbid early Dec. I don't want to make it to the 180 day mark, but I warned my SO that it could very well happen so just be prepared. I told her that they cant keep us apart forever. Aug 12 is our 180 days from NOA1, and I WILL rattle the cage hard if I make it to that date. I would think a background check on me would be easy, I help a secret security clearance when I was in the Marine Corps, lived in the same place since I got out, and only got in trouble with the law once in 42 years. Even then I was found not guilty. Gotta love trouble making ex-in laws. Anyway, there's my somewhat subdued rant.

I hear ya! I have a secret clearence too, plus mutiple background checks because I hold a USCG engineers license. you think it would be a no brainer for them when checking me out. I'm just happy I got a touch last week, that means someone in CSC has looked at it or maybe spilled their coffe on it!!!

I know how you guys feel...well...I don't have a secret clearance or anything, but I have a fairly uncommon name and I've lived in the same city since I was 8. It'll come through...this is the process that we all have to go through, no one gets bumped ahead of their rightful place...some people's just take a little bit longer. You can drive yourself crazy by being angry about it...or you can just accept it and use this time to get ready for the next steps and to work on your relationship...and enjoy your last few months of being "single".

Trust me...I have my days where everything just sucks and I can't stand it anymore. I just get so angry...but it really does just make me miserable, and there's nothing I can do to speed this process up. Calling CSC is just going to piss them off and eventually they'll put my petition at the bottom of the pile. The best thing you can do is start a letter writing campaign. I'm planning on starting one as soon as Dennis is here...I feel like it will hold more weight if I'm already through the process, it won't look like I"m just trying to get my NOA2 and then I'll stop bugging them. This process is stupid and the only way it will change is if we can spread awareness of what the process is REALLY like.

Its hard Feb Filers., I know were gonna be soon.. 8 weeks from NOA2 to interview in london isnt that bad, theres still time and I would hazzard a guess that thats an outside estimate. I know soon Im gonna be winging my way to the US of A. Now all I gotta do is convince my boss (in the US) to gimme a job. .

I'm considering writing a few letters myself after we get through this. The wait is ridiculous. There is no reasonable explanation why one service center can grossly out perform the other in my eyes. I dont want to see the people in the future have to go through this like we have. I dont really care if I piss off CSC at this point in time, I'll be at their limit in 5 more weeks anyway, and they have no possible reason to deny me.

Just a bit confused here, I was looking at the Igor's List and saw that according to Igor's List our case was "Updated Last" in May. We filed in Feb, and according to the USCIS website the last time we were "touched" was in Feb when we first got our NOA1.

Is there a difference between "updated last" and "touched"? What does "updated last" mean on igors?

Thanks

hi bmj and all you feb fillers, wishing you all a speedy procces and approvals soon ( spesh since it means we get closer to ours )

just thought i'd answer this. think its actualy the last time you updated your VJ timeline. not when uscis updated your file.

That's the problem, I have not done anything with my time line at all since I put it in when we joined. That's why I was wondering who was updating it or why.

We joined at the end of Feb. after we filed, and I had put in my time line just after joining. Since I put in the time line I have not made any adjustments.

Updating it won't change anything, its based on your filing date and NOA1 date.

hmm thats wierd, we are talking about the far right hand colum on on igors right?

well mine said 4th of the 05th but i thought that was the last time i added to it ( it is the last touch too, creepy) I just added a comment to mine to see if it updated the date but it didn't yet. that said i think it only updates once a day so it could still do. looking at the set up theres no way they could know whats happening with your case unless you input it. the only suggestion I have is you clicked and resaved or something since you made it and forgot or maybe I seem to remember thinking i saw both you and your other half posting here both Vito and I update ours. could your other half have clicked on it? thats the best ideas I could think of. cos theres no place other than comments to put touches down on your timeline.

either that or the programes physic
