Vermont Approvals

[MsZ 6]

I think mixing the K-3 130 touches/approvals with the IR/CR1s doesn't give us a true picture. It appears that K3 130s are approved before IR/CRs. So I have a hard time getting giddy because another K-3 applicant gets some attention regardless of when they filed. I suspect they have different queues for people who have both a 129F and a 130 than for those w/just a 130.

I was thinking that too, most of the approvals have had a K3 attached to it, but Vermont still treats it as an I 130 and makes the K3 null.

true. I didnt think abuot that pattern...BUT maybe its just b/c more people do K3 and not as many do ONLY CR-1...????

If they'd at least go by the NOA1 date but some of these folks have NOA1s after us!

Trying to make sense of the USCIS approval process is like nailing Jello to the wall...

Amen to that one. Its another mystery which will remain un-solved.

I also noticed this pattern as most I-130 getting approved had filed for k-3 too. Very few straight i-130 filers are getting approved and they are usually way behind others. Another place that made me think about this and start noticing was here: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/

on the right side look at what is listed under: Approximate Processing Dates for Common Forms

there you won't find a straight I-130 listed. Its VJ.. so I dont know why they would not list it and they haven't got anything to do directly with how files get processed.. but this is what got me to start noticing the pattern.

I wonder what the latest you can file a 129F and reap the benefits of seeing your I-130 approved quicker.

If I had to do it all again, I would have gone K-3 and said that he doesn't need to work for 3 months or whatever.

What is up with this touch date of 02-24-08 that I see all kinds of Vermont people with...myself included. Was this a mass data entry day? This is the one and ONLY touch our I-130 has ever gotten. Every time I log onto USCIS and see the same date listed I want to pull my hair out.

Amastar was CR1/IR1 only.

Delicia's spreadsheet only deals with CR1/IR1 not K3 filers.

Here's is her updated spreadsheet which helps even more

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pUr...KbwRg&gid=5

It's Vermont sorted by NOA1 ...... CR1/IR1 only remember

December NOA1's appear to be finished, unless someone has been ommitted accidently.

January NOA1's are half finished.

February NOA1's are a quarter done.

Delicia suggested and I agree that they are not going by NOA1 dates. They are taking a random approach. WIWO is their motto -- "whenever in, whenever out".

That a CR1 gets done here and there doesn't mean that K3s aren't getting priority.

yeah. agree with delicia too about the NOA1. I mean it shows SOME kind of pattern..but not enough of a solid one to believe that is the way they are approving them

I was very encouraged about all the touches people were getting on their petition at Vermont but seems been nothing more than resorting or something. Somwthing really weird is going on at Vermont because California keep cranking out approvals. It is sad that we have to wait without any kind of legitimate information on what they are doing.
