Seriously CSC? what in the world is going on....process some dang k1's

OMG i'm starting to loose my mind.....it's not that i don't have patience to wait 7 months to be with my love....but when i was told 5 months, 5 months, 5 months....for 5 freaking months...then BAM!! hit a wall and we don't know when ur stuff is going to get done and we aren't even going to give you any hint for any light at the end of any tunnel

when i started this process, i read here on VJ hundreds of times, that this process takes about 1 year.........yeah right, at this rate it is going to take 3 years if it takes over 7.5 months for a dang NOA2....i don't even want to think about how long AP is going to be....

Don't worry, patience. :)

I remember that last year, my petition was sent to the VSC, they were known as sloooooow, but then all of the sudden, an approved NOA 2!

Hope they start picking up the speed. Waiting is hard.

The bad news is they have got most of July still to process. As an August filer myself, I am not expecting to hear anything for probably another month or two at the rate they are processing. All we can hope is that we see some movement next week but I think we may still have a long wait unless we get lucky.

Right, so, I understand the being patient thing, and think it's reasonable to be patient but seriously. It is not processing our petitions at all (at least negligible numbers of them).

It really bothers me that we're not even seeing any RFEs coming out of CSC - like, okay, maybe we're all amazing form completers and we didn't get anything wrong - but I seriously doubt it. Compare to VSC rates of RFEs. I am honestly at the point where being patient is not a suitable response to the situation anymore and there should be a way to make a more formal complaint. Being slow is one thing, but a lack of activity at all is another matter.

* I-130/CR-1 visa by Direct Consular Filing in London
3rd May 2013 - Married in London
7th May 2013 - I-130 filed
4th June 2013 - NOA2 (approved)
16th July 2013 - Interview (approved)
30th July 2013 - POE San Francisco
29th August 2013 - 2 year green card arrived

 

* How? Read my DCF London I-130 for CR1/IR1 Spouse Guide

* Removal of Conditions (RoC) via California Service Centre
1st May 2015 - 90 day RoC window opened
6th May 2015 - I-751 filed (delivered 8th May, cheque cashed 18th May)
7th August 2015 - Approved / GC production
27th August 2015 - 10 year green card arrived

* Naturalisation (Citizenship) via Phoenix Lockbox

* San Francisco Field Office:
1st May 2016 - N-400 window opened
20th August 2016 - N-400 filed
26th August 2016 - NOA1
13th September 2016 - Biometrics

Yep. I fully agree.

This week might be the week!

Or maybe not!

Man, how long have we said this.

Normally I don't like rants, but this was freaking funny! Haha I am feeling your plan exactly. I was so happy at first that I was in CSCS, but literally it hasn't moved since I filed. Of course VSC is plowing through Sept filers and here we are still seeing July filers getting approved and no explanation. Hmmmm, we are taxpaying legal citizens applying to get married to our loved ones who happen to be citizens of another country, but I feel like we are get treated like 2nd class citizens because of this. Ok my rant is over too :lol:
