Well I'm flying out Monday, God willing, so I am getting a head start on our tradition.

I'll check in Tuesday to see if anyone has gotten an approval!

Mamalou, Monica and Isha, it's gotta be this week!!!

Chris e Jessica, you're first for April!!!!!

CJGator, have fun and send our hellos to Natasha! Make the most of your trip and enjoy!

Andrea, I haven't seen any posts from you or your hubby, so you must be having a great time! Good!!!!!

Lisa, sweetie, thanks for everything. Stay positive (someone has to stand out amongst all the bit-ching the rest of us do LOL). You are now inside the estimated time range for your approval. It's gotta be soon!

Everybody - Much love to my K-3 family. May the new year bring us all together with our spouses!

I did get touched 2 times during this week. They are working on my papers. They needed more info and I have already sent it to them. I hope and pray that I will be with my wife and daughter soon. And I wish the same for all of you

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

April filers will be getting approvals this week........Well, can anyone give me some idea about the May filers? I have seen quite a few transfers and approvals in November which were specially of May 08 filers...Is my assumption correct by saying they are almost done with May filers? or yet to receive approvals? I don't see much May filers...

Sonia,

I think there are quite a few May filers still waiting. The transfers were stand alone 130's(CR-1/IR-1).

VSC has been throwing those CSC's way lately.

check Birch-Beer's spreadsheet.. he has way more members than our "dust collector's" heh

You can see quite a few May's are left

I just saw that a July filer (standalone I-130) got approved after being transferred to CSC. This is getting to be ridiculous. It seems that the I-129F which is intended to speed things up (at least get your spouse to the US faster) is what is holding things up. Granted that the fact that they have two applications to process (for the price of one - since they waive the I-129F application fee) unlike in K1 or standalone I-130 adds more burden but why even come up with a process that is a lose-lose situation for both the applicant as well as the service center ?

Even if VSC doesn't quite catch up with CSC in the new year, I really hope they do an internal review and try to bring about more parity in the processing times for K1 vs. standalone I-130 vs. K3. It is just not fair for the K3 applicants to be singled out for the longest wait times.

From what I was told... When you file a K-3 and you already have a CR-1 in progress they combine the files into one and they usually get approved together. ( that is what I was told ) It is very frustrating to see the transferred files get approved. All of us who were left behind to rot at VSC seem to have a long wait ahead of us.

I did call and inform my attorney about the files that are getting transferred to CSC are getting approved with dates after mine. He said he was going to check into it. I also called the congress womans office again. They told me they can request that my file be trnaferred to CSC but they advised me against that.

This whole thing is ridiculous.

Has theere been any movement from VSC today?

I think there are quite a few May filers still waiting. The transfers were stand alone 130's(CR-1/IR-1).

HAHAHA! I just spoke with my husband on msn and he told me he called USCIS to give them his new phone number and he also asked about our case... The person told him that the last dates they are working on are February 27 and that will take 30 days for them to process our case! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :rofl: Do they really want us to believe that? We don't even know why we bothered asking anything.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

OK, well, the reason it wasnt in, is because when I run the scan for K-3's, it only shows k-3's. yours shows up cri-1 as that is what you have listed on your profile.

I will add it tonight.................
