There is NO way to call a service center, all you can do is call National Customer Service.

It seems like VSC processed a lot more spousal visas this week than we saw earlier, but love to know if someone's been able to call them recently find out the latest scoop on where things stand! I am tired of waiting.

I doubt anyone has, considering that no direct dial telephone numbers are available for any of the service centers.

YMMV

Unfortunately, it is one big waiting gane!!!! Better that you only waited 6 months than one year or longer. The fact that you have had activity on your file should be enough of a relief that they haven't lost your record!!!

Good luck

THAT IS NOT TRUE

i've posted here before EXACTLY HOW TO TALK TO SOMEONE AT YOUR SERVICE CENTER... Certain prompts allow you to be directly connected to a VSC Officer WITHOUT first talking to a customer service rep.

For the 3rd TIME i will post it again:

Call the 1-800 375-5283

Option 1,

Option 2,

Option 1, receipt number

Option 1,

Option 3, Wait for "If our system"

Option 4,

EXPEDITE – Option 6 (INSTEAD OF OPTION 4)

this will connect you to an officer at VSC

mrc...this option doesn't work anymore and hence my query...I reckon I should be glad that my file's been touched once when they first seemed to have paired them. *sarcasm*

Maybe they can put you through to someone else? Worth a try...

I also remember a poster who claimed they had the director's telephone no! He/she was even circulating the number in a post a few weeks ago, but I cannot seem to be able to track it any longer.
