Any February 2012 filers?

[garlicknots 0]

waiting, waiting, waiting in a largely untouched pile of other 2/14 filers.

Honestly, I'm glad for those of you after 2/14 who have been approved/RFE'ed but one suggestion that I am going to make or attempt to make to USCIS/USG is that somehow files are adjudicated sequentially: it's both, as I hope we know, emotionally disheartening and logically irrational to see later filers being adjudicated earlier.

From what I've read (limited to VJ and the interview with the former adjudicator turned director), there is no reason for it, correct? Have to think about this best method (maybe a change.org?) petition?

I'd be happy to sign it as my NOA1 was 2/9 (2/7 via USCIS) and I'm currently spitting nails over the fact that they have moved forward and left me in the dust (along with about 20 other petitions in the group I'm following). I believe Miss. AAA is still in the same vortex of hell.

Mary my NOA1 was February 8 one day before you and I had a simple RFE and got my NOA2. You gotta be so close now. Keep your finger nails intact your fiance will appreciate it Hang in there we are rooting for you and all the others.

What's this?

I'm not visiting the forum for a weekend only to find out that the VSC had a weekend sleepover party?

Congrats all! I'm so happy for you guys, especially for those long waiters and forum cheerleaders!

I kinda get you two. I was just talking about this with Kim. I recently saw some CSC approvals from February, I mean aren't they approving May filers? We were just thinking about how it would suck if you've seen your whole month get approved and got left behind. I'm praying for you two that it won't happen!

It was a plesant surprise for many on Sunday after a disappointing Friday.

LOL, sleepover party

Pleasant surprise, for sure!

I'm feeling really bad for everyone who's still waiting. Nothing about this process is fair in any way, and there's not even a way to fight it. Hang in there... we're still rooting for you.

Don't worry - VSC is working on February. Your turn will be soon. Hang in there!

[Connie and Me 1]

Still hanging in there WickerMan! Just glad to see some more peeps getting approvals. It means they're doing SOMETHING at VSC! All of my companions in the Feb bunch left, stay strong... We'll be there soon! As for those of you who got those NOA2's, ENJOY!!!

As with so many others we were all hoping for the infamous NOA2 on Friday, and some were the lucky ones. I'm thrilled for all of you and want to feel that moment soon as well. Happy trails on the next leg of this most difficult journey

hugs

Looks like today was a slow day in the office compared to Friday. Better luck tomorrow and the rest of this week it would be great for those us February filers still waiting to get are approvals.

I would have to agree especially when people who have only waited four months are complaining and getting approved and yet their are all of us now hitting 6 months and longer with not a peep.. A system to adjudicate files as they are received for the most part needs to be instituted because this process is unnerving.

I don't think or have to hope that isn't the case -- if nothing else, I want to come out of this rat race thinking that I, at least, tried to help future petitioners (couples) -- but I've been in that similar mindset as recently as earlier today so I understand completely. Anyway.

I'm drafting a petition (ha, identical term) for change.org, I'll run it by this thread for input before submitting. See if it gets any traction.

Thinking aloud and using the crowd:

* some "buttons to press" in no particular order: our side: fairness and efficiency , emotional (couples), transparency; their side: makes sense for USCIS (save $$), frustration at USG (attempt pre-election change? -- the whole Obama "I'm going to make agencies awesome by eliminating redundant rules and rationalizing them)

* breadth: just sequential ordering within centers? having separate centers adjudicating similarly received date same-type petitions at roughly the same time (adequate staffing/workload?), wholesale immigration reform?

* example: it would be really nice if someone whose NOA1 was after 2/14 and has been adjudicated already (approved, RFE) etc. would provide me their receipt number as a concrete example. PM is fine (I won't name, I just want, for informed consent purposes, someone who consented to me using their number -- I'll be using mine for 2/14).

I ought get to bed.

To all those waiting for NOA2, my thoughts are with you. It'll come soon Please ignore below, I don't wish to seem petty

Well I've taken the plunge and booked my medical for Sept 4th I'm just hoping that the US embassy gets the paperwork and process it in time. Last night NVC said they hadn't sent it out yet, but we know they wrapped it up on Friday. So hopefully they'll ship soon
