It is not true. I don't agree with it. I have filed for my parents/brother. I filed on I-130s on Oct 28, 2005 and then in Dec (first week) I got a letter - request for additional information -- actually they were not convinced with Birth certificates as a proof that me and my brother are related so I submitted additional affidavits on Dec 22, 2005 those were in their system on Dec 28. Then on Feb 08, 2006 I got an APPROVAL for all three I-130s - Mother/Father/Brother. Now parents case is in the final stage waiting for DS-230 in the mail.

NVC assisgned case numbers to my cases on Feb 14, 2006.

I hope this will ignite some hope -- things are actually happening at VSC -- Be patient !!!!

VSC slow? They used to be as speedy as a jackrabbit, now they are a baby bunny. Its like the turtle (CSC) and the hare (VSC), no matter which way you look at it, the hare will always finish faster, even if it slows down a bit for a carrot.

Why do you think there is a so-called "backlog"?

USCIS is conforming pretty well to their recent pledge to adjudicate petitions within 6 months---have you gone over that time frame?

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

How Do I Remove The Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage?

Welcome to the United States: A Guide For New Immigrants

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....

Here are more links that I love:

Arriving in America, The POE Drill

Dual Citizenship FAQ

Other Fora I Post To:

alt.visa.us.marriage-based http://britishexpats.com/ and www.***removed***.com

Inertia. Is that the Greek god of 'can't be bothered'?

Vermont may be getting backlogged even more soon. If you look on USCIS's website, they are going to be processing more cases (non K-1 and K-3 visas) that are being shifted from other service centers. One can only hope this will speed up some of the other service centers.

Now that would just really break my heart. NOT :thumbs: Don't mean anyone any bad luck, but fair is fair.
