Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

Does the 63 filers for May include the five who got approved on 10/8?

OK, so it does include them, but after I took a closer look only 3 of today´s approvals are CSC filers...the other 2 filed in Nebraska and Texas and I guess were transfered to CSC...so the number 63 includes only people who filed at CSC...so the final number will be larger depending on who was transfered where...so 63 plus the transfered ones

Ok here goes: 63 filed in CSC, 10 filed in Nebraska and 17 in Texas...assuming all of them were transfered to CSC = 90 May filers

Yikes

Bill y Bella said that at the current rate it would take USCIS aprroximately 40 more days

to get through with May filers. If that is true, many of us will be at 180 days plus. Not good!!!

Looks like it

I think a good portion probably won't even update their timeline or let us know they got their NOA2 when they do. Just my opinion.

That would be if we were lucky enough Which we might not be

I keep telling myself to stay positive, that my approval will come soon but when I see that there are still 90 (VJ) people waiting for approvals, it makes me feel very stressed and anxious again. I have yet to see anyone go over 169 days on here unless they got an RFE and 140 days seems to be around the approval time. Let's hope that is still true. Hope USCIS kicks it into high gear.

probably. still a lot of people are not updating their timelines or do not even report whether they received NOA2 or not.

I really do not think that it will take about 6 months to get NOA2 if you have everything ready. Obviously a lot of may filers received NOA2 now and did not wait for 6 months.

I dunno..guess it depends if they already updated their timelines before I looked...I will check

To get a clear picture of the CSC workload of VJ petitions we need to look at all service centers and then subtract out VSC. NSC and TSC petitions sent in May are being processed by CSC.

There are 99 open CSC / NSC / TSC petitions sent in May that still need to be adjudicated. There are also some March and April petitions that are still hanging around. Over the last 14 days, CSC has approved 3.29 petitions per day which is a little faster than I realized in one of my recent posts in another thread. At 3.29 approvals per day, it is estimated that it will take approximately 30 days to clear out May.

Everything is subject to change. CSC may slow down or accelerate the rate of approval. Also hopefully some of the approvals will be March and April filers. I think 30 to 40 days to finish May is a decent guess as of today.

Scott & Marta, I see your total is slightly different than mine. Are you going by NOA1 date or sent date? Did you search from May 1 to May 31? If you did, VJ excludes the starting and ending dates. You need to search from April 30 to June 1 to get the first and last day of May.

As far as drop outs, in 2006 roughly 14% of the people who established a timeline never reported a NOA2. Approximately a third of those never reported a NOA1 either.

And last week I think there was someone getting an approval after about 196 days...and some people are crossing 5 months already...and not to mention people, who filed last year in November and such...and today there is an rfe after 150 days ...so yeah..the waiting period seems to be increasing...hopefully it will not

I hope so! This cycle of ups and downs with my emotions sucks. This morning I was up and tonight I am down.

I am still hoping for the best though

Ok, yeah I searched from 1st to 31st...went by sent date..

Ya, I totally understand that. I feel so happy and all of sudden I feel so gloomy by looking at the processing time. It sucks so much.

Well, yes, some people received NOA2 after such a long time. But, again, everyone's case is different. Some people have no worries, others have some things that USCIS cares like using a broker, criminal history, previous visa denials. So it is up to people. I talked to a person at US embassy in Tokyo and she said countries matter, too.

If the average is 140 days then I've got 61 to go for my I-129F which puts me at mid-December... I won't stress till then. I'll just twiddle my thumbs till December....hooo....hummm. (Where is the twiddling thumbs smilie?)

[Bill y Bella 0]

Decent day so far for CSC/NSC/TSC with 6 approvals dated 10/9.

Sent dates are 4/11 (RFE returned on 9/14), 5/7 (RFE returned on 10/5), 5/15, 5/15, 5/16, & 5/21.

VSC has another big zero.
