WTF VSC?

[Cheruvim 0]

Here's the thing. It's uneven, unbalanced and unfair. I have noticed that people who have applied and received their NOA1 AFTER me are getting their NOA2's before me.

The USCIS has NOT given me any indication that there is a problem with my case nor if there is any quality about my case that requires further investigation that those cases received after mine. The damn thing hasn't even been touched as far as I can tell.

No, this is not efficient! I would like a legitimate reason from the USCIS as to why my case is taking longer. I have a right to know as a citizen who contributes to this country, pays his taxes etc.

It is a disgrace to me and all Americans to say that we treat people who want to be a part of our nation like garbage. Especially when legitimate, law abiding citizens simply ask their government to allow their LOVED ONES to be a part of their lives here.

I think the manager of the VSC should have some accountability here. There should be more information passed to clients. For example, does the issue of divorce make cases take longer? Are there additional security investigations that need be done with some cases (perfectly legitimate in my view)? Was there something that requires more infomration? Is the USCIS being timely in requesting that information?

Many other countries handle this so much better and are far more efficient in this regard. I say the Us Government has some explaining to do and I think the senators from me state, Vermont and the heads of the State Department should get letters expressing our deep dissatisfaction in one of this country's proud traditions, accepting immigrants!

You should be a litle pacient and positive, VSC have been really slow this last monthes ... but you are still within the processing time of 6 months... I have seen August, and Sept approvals lately... and you apply on October, the strange is that you got your NOA1 on January ... have you checked on line at USCIS page?

You should check there and see when did they got your petition, and then you should start counting your 6 months of waiting.

Complaining about US goverment you arent winning anything, you should keep your mind positive, and your apporval will come. Positive thoughts and good feelings, always bring good things to your life!

Why should we have to wait 6 months???!!?? CSC currently show it can be done quicker...and that's the point people are trying to make. You also have to bear in mind that VSC and CSC are only one part of the process....add another 3 months to that and it's nine months to be with your loved one......positive? patient? no thanks.....i just want the opportunity to be treated like the human being that I am, and be with my Fiancee. 9 months (and some people, some very patient and misfortunate people have been waiting over a year for a NOA 2) is NOT acceptable.

Ellie, I know it is hard, all this process and all the time we need to wait apart, but it is the way it is, and all the couples have chosen this way to do it, in how many time are we gatting approved? we dont know that. the only thing i can tell you, is that you should calm down a bit, you have only filed on November, and maybe you will be getting your NOA2 before me!!! I have seen so many approvals form UK that dont took the 6 months...

I am just telling you that 6 monst is the processing time at uscis, I am at VSC, and I have been waiting more that 5 months, so I know how hard it is to be waiting.

I am a positive person and I am just not letting USCIS or VSC drive me crazy, thats why I always tell everybody here in the witing room to stay postive and it will come.

I really hope youll get approved soon! good luck!

I'm sorry i think you missed my point completely. I know i only filed in November (I, like everyone else, look at that timeline daily), but I think it is completely ridiculous that ANYONE should have to wait this long when USCIS can complete a visa for an investor or an overseas worker in half the time. It doesn't matter where you are from. The only thing we are all guilty of is falling in love with someone who is from a different country.

Myself...and Ken are saying that it doesn't need to take this long. SHOULD NOT take this long, and whilst everyone is happy to wait 6 months to be approved for one part of the process, that is exactly what VSC and CSC are going to do.....take that long if they can get away with it. Why shouldn't we be mad about staring down a 7-10 (MINIMUM at present) month process? And I mean anyone. CSC are currently proving that petitions can be processed quickly. Why shouldn't we have greater expectations from these service centres?

I'm going to wait my turn. I have to. But it doesn't mean we should be happy about it. My mother always taught me to challenge the accepted norms and never unquestioningly accept them unless they are meritorious.

I concur. The point is not the wait. The point is the policy and practice of the State Department and NVC. It favors the fat cats and corporate institutions why we, the middle class, the backbone of America have to wait our turn. I live in a place where there are many many immigrants. How do they get here? How do they stay here? My feeling is they are mostly illegal. Now why is that? It's because our visa process is broken and while the cats in Washington think that enforcement and fences are the answer, the truth is that our immigration policy is broken and needs be fixed. It is broken in a way that encourages many to find loopholes and cross our borders illegally. Our problems with immigration are a cause generated by the ignorance in our own policies.

They come out of a renewed vigor for isolationism much like that employed during the Great Depression. What we learned from that is that we cannot keep our noses out of certain happenings on the world stage without it biting us back. We have to be fair and we have to be engaged.

Did you know that The Consular Service abroad charges a fee to foreigners who wish to ask a question? They charge the equivalent of $20 JUST TO SEND THEM AN EMAIL! Do you know of any other Consular Service to do so? I went to the French Embasy's website. Their email address was readily available for my use at no charge. I feel it is a disgrace to this country to engage in such thievery! Even in Japan, one of our closest Allies, their citizens have to pay ask our Consulate a question. I find it outrageous.

So, I will write letters and I encourage all of you who feel the same to do the same.
