Don't get me wrong i am happy that at least some people are getting approved. But i question the order in which people are approved. I don't see how VSC or CSC can put aside the petitions that they received in June, August and work on petitions that they received in September and October and so on. As for individuals who get approved i am happy for them, but i am not happy about the way USCIS handles our applications. They should be approved in the order they are received. If there is a problem with an application, they should concentrate on completing that application before they start working on others.

You are still fresh on starting this journey we will see how you feel in 5+ months, if you don't get your approval before then. You will see that the joy and all happiness drift away as you get frustrated in waiting and waiting for your approval.

I understand where you're coming from, and I don't know why it's so screwed up either. I got very lucky, and it certainly doesn't seem fair considering what some of you are going through. The only thing I can think of is that the service center you used and the country of residence of fiancee must impact it quite a lot, not to mention the difference from one USCIS employee to another. Some might be lazy, some might be lightning quick.
