I cant understand why Vermont is now slower than California processing these k1 visas. The projected dates have gone forward, then a week backwards, then forward, now backward? They have processed like 3 visas in the past week. I think we are due an explanation for this. Maybe it has to do with the immigration reform that was just pushed forward. Please post any comments or information you have.

VSC has clearly diverted most of its personnel and resources to processing some other type of document. This happens sometimes. If you look back at the history of petition approvals at any of the processing centers, there are slow periods followed by spurts of activity. I'm not defending VSC or anything, but all we can do is keep waiting.

The thing to do is keep busy and try to avoid putting your life on hold. Myself, I've taken a second job to save up extra money for wedding/immigration expenses, and started decluttering/sprucing up my apartment in preparation for Aaron moving in. (It would be even better if I could find another focus for my energy that *isn't* related to the immigration process, but I haven't yet achieved that!)

Rumor has it that Vermont Service Center is processing Temporary Protective Status applications for Syria. I found this online: "On March 23, 2012, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano announced her intent to designate Syria for TPS for eighteen months."

Tomorrow my fiancee and I will have waited 10 weeks so far for VSC. We have seen our projected approval date change many times and not in our favor. We miss each other very much but if VSC is truely proecssing TPS for Syria We can wait as our lives are not threatened, we just want our future with each other to start ASAP!!
