please help me understand what is happening

[wizzard1663 0]

My I-129F was received in Vermont on May 27. I'm assuming this is what they refer to as NOAH 1 on Visajourney.

At that time I filled out my Timeline and began to chart the timeframes for all those which were "Similar". Months ago my charted information for all those with NOAH 1 in March and April showed an average of 100 days until NOAH 2. I calculated that my May 27 would thus have a NOAH 2 likely on Sept 4. It is now almost six weeks later and we do not have NOAH 2.

What is driving me crazy is the "Similar Timelines" show all others from May have received NOAH 2, and some in June already. Why is this happening to me? I have always seen that USCIS.gov shows a six month delay in processing, and lately they haven't even updated it since July 31. They used to update every month on the 15th of the month. Has Vermont stopped processing?

Hi Carl,

Did you ever receive any paperwork from USCIS? After your petition was accepted at VSC, you should have received a confirmation in the mail from USCIS (form I-797C). It would have your case number on it (beginning with EAC). If you go to the USCIS website, you can enter this number to get updates on your case. If you DIDN'T receive this paperwork from VSC, you can also check the back of the check with which you paid and you can find the case number there (assuming you paid by personal check). If you don't have the I-797C or the case number, you need to get in touch with VSC to find out what is going on.

There are still other May filers waiting, though--it seems like VSC slowed down considerably and thus timelines are much later.

Good luck!

Edited to add: If you check your timeline again, you're revised estimate is Oct. 8-24, so hopefully you'll hear something really soon!

Looking at your timeline it states "Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between October 8, 2008 and October 24, 2008*. " Be patient, it should be any day. Don't look at what happened for people who filed a month before you, look at those who filed within 2 weeks of you.

Hi and thanks for the reply

I received the 797C and set up an online account for email notices, and it is that form which shows the May 27 date. The Timeline page of this web site allows you to view other similar timelines, and that is where I have been charting the number of days from NOAH 1 until NOAH 2, then number of days from NOAH 2 to date received in Consulate, and finally days from receipt in Consulate until Interview Date. I've charted not only those from a month or two before my NOAH 1, but all of those in my month of May and some new ones in June. What is so disturbing in my case is every couple from my "Similar Timelines" from the month of May have alreay received NOAH 2, and one or two from early June have already received NOAH 2. The USCIS web site claims they are always processing those with dates received prior to yours, so it makes no sense to see those with NOAH 1 in June processed before mine which is NOAH 1 May 27. The only thing I can think of is mine is sitting on the desk of a processing clerk who is always out sick or just plain incompetent. There is no question that things slowed up right around Labor Day, because I noticed my chart showed the average days till NOAH 2 for the ones from early May jumped to 120 - 130 days from the earlier average of 100 days. My May 27 is as of today 143 days, so to me this is significant and sets off an alarm. Who knows, maybe today is my day.

I know they state that they process the applications according to when they come in but thatis Bullsh***. Sorry. We don't know why and how but it is simply not true that they are processed in order.

This is true.. I sometimes believe certain adjudicators are faster than others.. yours may be with a slow person..

[Nicoxcx 1]

Well say they get 6000 K1 Visas in the month of May, those are split up between Adjudicators, as they are going threw those they get 6000 June filers added, like RonnieKris said some DO work faster than others, even taking a pile home over the weekend it isn't like one guy will finish all of his May filers and stop processing until every other Adjudicator has processed their May's, he will move onto his Junes.

Keep your eye on your Petition, it can be very disheartening to see the same sentence on the USCIS website everytime you check but it IS coming soon, a friend of mine on this site (also a May filer) just recieved her NOA2 this week, so they are still working on May petitions. Keep positive Hon .

Sometimes name checks etc may take longer for one person than another.
