Thank you HD for seeing what i am trying to say, i am happy for the people but unhappy with our system aka USCIS.

congratulations, but man this is so unfair. People are waiting for over 6 months and without any touches or approvals. Yours was under three months?

Unfair?

You should be happy for the people

Congrats to the OP

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.

I think that completely depends on what the problem is. Yes, I have only just started this as well, but I think I am still entitled to my opinion and am fully aware I very well could be one of those people waiting 6 months, a year, whatever. BUT, I think it would be really unfair to just stop processing the "easy" applications just because someone else is having a problem with theirs. What if that ONE application takes months by itself to resolve?? No one should work on any other ones until that is finished? Maybe that's not what you meant, and if its not, then disregard what I am saying. But if thats really what you mean, then I think that is crazy. I'm sorry that you may have been unlucky and been waiting a long time, but you aren't the only one, and there are other people on this board that are happy about other people getting approvals.

The way I look at other people's approvals is that it is one less application that can take up their time, and the sooner they can get to mine, or someone else's. I think we all are going through the same thing here, and really need to be SUPPORTIVE because we all know how hard long distance is.

The basics of all applications are the same, we have to turn in the same paper work that everyone else does. If there is a hold on an application, that application as it seems to me and from doing research is put a side until it is later looked at. I don't know how you resolve problems, but to resolve a problem you have to work at it. And not just put it aside and start working on other things. For instance, if there is a security problem, the people who are working on your application should commit them self to resolve the security issue ( making calls, faxing ext....) finding out what is the hold up and let the petitioner know. Once again i am happy for the people who are approved in 78 days and think they've been waiting for months like other. I also would like to see your response in the future when you have to wait as long as other JV member.

Obviously the basics are the same, but if every single application was so "basic" then it wouldn't take 6 months or more to be approved. So the ones that are truly basic and straightforward are probably approved more quickly (although this obviously depends on other factors as well) but there are some things we may not know about which make something we think is simple, not. But don't you think that maybe responses to those phone calls/faxes/whatever probably take time? In some cases it might be immediate, and in others, not. So in those cases where it is not immediate, I really do expect that they put the file aside and work on other files, until they hear back from what they are waiting on. I don't think they should get paid to sit and do nothing, and if that was the case, you'd probably be on here complaining about that. Judging by your timeline you are not over the 6 months either. So if anyone is going to get upset or whatever about other people's approvals, then it should be the people who have been waiting over the proposed time. Like I said, I fully realize I could end up being one of the people waiting more than the 6 months, and that is something I am prepared to deal with. I have already been doing the "long distance thing" for a year and a half, so unless i'm crazily unlucky, the wait for this visa is going to be shorter than what I have endured already. And if I really hate it that much, I will cancel the K1 petition etc, and move to England because I have heard their process is much quicker. I am just happy to see approvals for anyone because at least it means things are moving over there! And also very thankful that it sounds like things are moving much quicker now than they were in the past, at CSC atleast.

I may have not hit 180 days exactly but unfortunately i am approaching it. What i am saying is not just from me but from other members frustrations. I am happy for people who are approved, but i am not happy the way the USCIS operates. I promise you that people who have waited 5+ 6+ whatever months have the same thinking about the system. I not here upset for the people who have waited less the others. I am upset with how VSC or CSC operates. Whoever gets approved, of-course its a good thing, so other applicants can be looked at. And i am not complaining, I am merely expressing my point of view of a problem with our system.

Yes I think there's a problem with the system too...I think if it takes 6 months at all to get approved, thats a pretty big problem right there (at least if it is a straight forward case.) But unfortunately, that's the way it is, and I don't know of much we can do except apply to work there ourselves haha.

Problem solved i am applying to USCIS LOL.

i think if i worked there, i'd probably want to stay all night and day, because i'd feel bad not approving enough people or something, whether its k-1 or something else...thats what i don't understand about them. i would feel really guilty taking a long time.

Unfortunately not everyone feels like you do and i. I think until they are in the same situation as us, they will never know.

I think some of them probably look at it like a power trip...just like Consulate employees who have the power to determine who waiting in line that day gets a tourist visa and who doesn't. Or the TSA employees who decide to shake down Nanna and Poppa at the airport because they're carrying 3.5 ounces of shampoo. A lot of them are uneducated knuckle-draggers who get their rocks off knowing they can screw with people's lives with the stroke of a pen, all in the name of das Vaterland "Homeland Security."
