New VisaJourney timeline for CSC

[rl2009 0]

Thanks Gary, It is greatly appreciated. It looks like the last person you got in touch with pulled through for you. I would like to know what you said or wrote to him/her to get their attention. Everyone I am writing and speaking to seems to have no interest or care about the process. I wish I could find someone with a little fire..

I contacted both of my Senators and my Congressman. Obama and my Congressman LaHood wouldn't give me the time of day. Senator Durbins' aid Mr Tim Sullivan was very nice and took a real interest in my case. But the clincher was when I made this list and sent it to him. It illastrated in black and white that I was left behind. After I did that he worked his a$$ off every day to get the CSC's attention. He sent my charts and my email (I must have worded it to his liking) and then didn't give up until he talked to the director herself. The director personally had a supervisor pull my case and a few others like it from Illinois and told them to adjudicate the cases. Sure enough mine and the others were approved in a few days. I can't thank Mr. Sullivan enough. Anyone from Illinois should consider contacting him if your case is behind like mine.

Try downloading the latest file in MSWord form, highlight your name and send it to your represenatives. It may shake things loose.

Here is a copy of the email I sent. Now this was sent on Aug 26 so the stats are now wrong but if you plug in your own info and update the stats it might help.

Mr Sullivan,

I have been doing some research and I made some charts

I would like you to see.I belong to an online forum

that deals with Family Based Immigration called

VisaJourney. If you care to check it out the address

is http://www.visajourney.com . We have a very large

membership and keep detailed timelines so they can be

tracked. I compiled a list of our members that have

filed K-1 petitions so you can see for yourself the

random and unfair way the USCIS is dealing with our

petitions. I filtered the list to show only K-1

petitions submitted to or transferred to the CSC with

dates starting March 6 (the day IMBRA went into effect

and everything seemed to fall apart) to the last

petition approved for a June NOA1 date. It is sorted

by NOA1 dates from earliest to latest. I also included

the total number of days it took for approved

petitions. I have now been waiting a total of 163

days. As you can see, the longest wait time for an

approved petition has been 159 days. On page one I am

number 23 on the list.

Here is a breakdown of how the petitions have been

adjudicated:

March: 81 total petitions. 47 approved. 34 waiting

April: 60 total petitions. 37 approved. 23 waiting

May: 62 total petitions. 32 approved. 30 waiting

June: 26 total petitions. 13 approved. 13 waiting

As you can see they are NOT going by the NOA1 dates at

all. If fact it seems totally random. In addition, The

USCIS web site lists processing dates. For the last 2

months it has been stuck at March 6. Today it was

moved BACK to Feb 23. I find this way of doing things

arbitrary and totally unfair.

You need to look at the .doc file with MSWord because

wordpad makes it look jumbled.

Please let me know if you find out anything new.

Thanks,

Gary C

Good luck to you!!

Looking at all the charts, I have a feeling we're going to start seeing more June and July approvals pretty soon.

Somebody in this forum a couple of weeks ago compiled the total NOA2's during the months of July and August - and based on those numbers, he projected that the remaining March, April and May filers here on VJ will have their approvals by the end of September, and then June filers should all be approved by no later than the end of October.

At least what we are seeing with these recent approvals, CSC is cleaning out the March and April filers first. Hopefully they got a grip on the fact that they were approving some June filers out of order, but my hunch is that was because they stopped going by NOA1 dates and were processing on a first come, first serve with IMBRA RFE's received. Their error in that, it appears, is that they didn't look at who used the old forms when they sent out the IMBRA RFE's - I believe they assumed that any petitions received before a certain date used the old forms, which would explain why myself and others with NOA1's toward the middle of June never got our IMBRA RFE's. What a fiasco of mismanagement on their part. I hope somebody over their gets fired for that.

It seems ALL the directors of ALL 4 service centers recently got fired. Between 8/28/06 and 9/11/06, all four positions were open and they were recruiting.

thank you soooooo much. Maybe this will be the last week with march??? Let us all hope and pray. We do all appreciate this and for those of us left in the darkness without approvals it gives us hope.

Gotta say Thanks Gary for your charts. These lists really help shed some light on our delimma. As much as I want my petition adjucated. I want the system to be fair and approve the cases on the NOA1 dates. I can wait my turn.

63 Days and counting.

As much as I miss my baby the time does fly if you don't keep being negative. You have to stay happy and upbeat.

I hope that by the time I do this weeks list (on saturday) there will be no more march leftovers!!

[Nagishkaw 510]

I hope you are correct, Gary. I can't take much more of this .

[BPM-MVS 0]

Thanks Gary!!! I gad Bookmarked your list when you first posted and believe it is the easiest and fastest way to check after your updates, how many have been approved Especialy by the months as I try to see when the approvals may come closer to July:))))

Congrats again on your NOA2

[GaryC 7]

I just did a quick search. Eliminating those that haven't been online since July it looks like we have 29 more march petitions left from the CSC/NSC/TSC. Come on CSC!!!
