For a while, I thought they were picking up steam but not many approvals this week for IR or K3. You would think they could hire more people after doubling the fees I pay for the petition. They are processing Aug 19th? The idiots were processing Aug 19th in February.

Wait, how in the world did you reach vermont center?

Here is my story. I've lived problem free life, payed my taxes. One day I decided to marry this girl. But to do so would require her to come to US of A, and so it started. My problem free live turned in to free problems from USCIS! Sure things turned to unsure, certain dates turned to aproximation within months. All logical thinking was out the door, as I filed my papers withing famous Vermont Centre!

SO THEN I SAID ON MY NOA1 IT SAYS OCT 16... HE SAID OH IM SORY U WIL HAVE TO MAKE AN INFO PASS APPT. IM LIKE OK.. IS THERE A WAY U CAN TRANSFER ME TO AN OFFICER. HE SAID NO.. MAKE AN APPT. AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.. AT THE LOCAL OFFIC.E. I SAID OK AND MY HEART BROKE.. I WAS SO SAD.. THEN I WAS LIKE WAIT LET ME TRY TO GET THRU AGAIN USIN RFE LINE..

SO I GOT THRU LADY SHE SAID GOOD MORNIN VERMONT SERVICE CENTER... I SAID HI!! I TOLD HER MY PROBLEM.. AND SHE SAID OK LET ME LOOK IT UP, I T OLD HER I CALLED USCIS AND THEY TOLD ME TO MAKE AN APPT. AND SHES LIEK OK LET ME DOUBLE CHEK AND SHE SAID

I'm impressed when I called on monday they told me they couldn't give me any information on my case and told me to check the website periodically (for all the good it does I check it several times daily) and call back in 2 months. LOL. Maybe I'll try calling again tomorrow, we filed during the first week of September (TSC) and got our NOA1 Dec 28th and learned we were now at the VSC so maybe they'll get to us soon too.
