OKay, so I contacted Vermont via e-mail and here is the reply I recieved. Yes they are clearly working on June K1's at last!

Mr. Hill –

As you indicate, this is a relatively small amount of data. For example, in August and September the Vermont Service Center received over 4,300 fiancée. That’s over 100 fiancée per business day.

Right now the center is actively working fiancée petitions received on June 4th, which is slightly ahead of our 6 month goal. That’s the goal we put on our website to help customers set their expectations both before they file, and while their case is pending. Of course some older cases are still being worked that have issues with respect to missing documentation, where we have had to ask for additional material, or where there are substantive background or other issues. I can’t comment on the cases you listed, but it’s quite possible that some of the pending cases have such issues.

As I indicated before, we recognize the circumstances of fiancée petitions, and each petitioner’s intense interest in getting their case processed so their fiancée may apply for a visa to come here to marry. To be fair to everyone we do work to process these cases in strict order. There are limited exceptions where a case may be processed more quickly, for example where we use a case for training purposes. Similarly we do give a somewhat higher priority to the K-3 variation of these petitions filed along with an I-130 relative petition since in essence we consider the duplicative K-3 petition an expedite request. To handle the volume also means we move several days or several weeks work being actively processed by our officer staff at any given time, which can lead to s slight variation in processing times among individual cases.

I hope this helps.

Maybe since you were (seemingly) the first person to get a response from them about this they might listen to you again... StillThePrettiest said something over in our July forum which maybe you could email to them and see if they respond to:

"I am a fan of logic in all things, and that training business MAKES NO SENSE

why is a more recently filed petition of any more value for training than one that was filed earlier? training on the straightforward ones I can understand, but do they want us to believe that somehow NONE of the petitions filed in May or June are straightforward?"

I think we need to seriously ramp up our efforts when it comes to getting results.

It has become apparent to us that emailing and writing a couple of people is not going to work.

I propose that all of us that are USC's undertake what the consumer advocate group that I know of calls "email carpet bombing".

I propose that all of us send out an email to every United States Senator. All 100 of them.

I realize 100 emails, or form emails, or whatever, is a lot to do...but if you're tired of sitting in the backlog of bureaucracy, if you're tired of being trampled on by the government...it's time to act! Let every single one of these people know that they should use their powers in the Senate for the good of their countrymen and women.

I am collecting web addresses now, and I'll post a list for everyone who is interested to participate in.

100 Senators getting the same email...there is zero way that can be ignored.

Bill, if you had some time, and were feeling generous... maybe you could do some CSC stats?

*puppy dog eyes*

or, you could PM me a step-by-step of how you do it, so I could do it myself...?

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Maybe they're waiting for mine!!! As soon as it gets there, then they will start working on them! :D

Im confused how the June number for VSC is 5. Im counting 12 approved of June filers????? Am I misinterpreting this chart? Im getting 51 May filers have been approved thus far...4 July filers approved, 0 August, 3 September, 3 October.

Byron, yes! Do call. When was the last time you called? You too Mel and Syl.

Shoot I got lucky when I called and got an officer on the phone. Hope you do too. I say, keep bugging them! :angry:

I actually called yesterday, i got a guy that was very nice and polite...he explained that once the RFE requested returns, they put it back on a shelf until they get a bunch so that an officer starts adjudicating them... :blink: .....Im tired of calling and getting a run around or someone rude...last time , which was last Friday, i got a rude lady just wanted to know what i was calling for, i explained and then she started telling me how she had a record on her screen of how i have called for the same thing a couple of times...i told her , well of course , im still waiting for an approval..thats why....im just sick of calling that place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Maybe they're waiting for mine!!! As soon as it gets there, then they will start working on them! :D

Congratulations to the recent appprovals!!!!!

I haven't been home for the past two days and wasn't able to check my mail or vj as usually!

We are sending back the RFE today......so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and thanks everyone for your advices.

Good luck Mirla!!

We are praying for you!!!!
