Its been 4 months for me , no RFE , no touches nothing . Every time i call , they say you need to wait 6 months . Hmmmm I hope they dont mean that in Mars months , cause earth months are completely different .

Does anyone know , if CSC has picked up speed on approvals , cause this is getting ridiculous .

Listen all, I found something interesting out, everytime a person calls and they go to get your file, the file is again placed back where they got it, and not in same order they pulled it, calling can truly delay your processing of your petition!!!! I was told this in a round about way from USCIS and my conservations with Washington lately.

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

NO WAY!! WOW!! SO you can say you have a 50% chance of officers working on your case after the call or 50% to have your case delayed! So, Paris.. what do you think.. should we keep calling this month or wait until august for it to be the 5 months for processing times? I HATE ALL THIS PROCESS!!!

I say if it is "out" of the loop, let it stay out and get it approved while you have the chance.. keep bugging the hell out of them until you get the approval.. :thumbs: as for me, my wife finally got a response (1st time) from her email to Guangzhou.. they normally ignore the beneficiary's email it seems.. I always get an answer, but she doesn't.. anyway, they sent her the EMS tracking number for our call-in letter, and as of right now, it has been delivered and "sent out for delivery".. she will get it tomorrow, but can't go in until next week.. the call-in letter is going to say that she can only go in Monday through Wednesday, 2pm-3pm..

You know what, Paris? I totally believe this. They get fed up with a caller or someone calls too often and *poof* your file is out of sequence! I sort of feel glad that I was unable to call as often as i wanted to and that my husband was like, "meh, it'll happen as it'l happen -- calling won't help... " Not saying that it's totally true but it just makes sense to me.

NVC though? I'm allowed to call and the automated Voice system is very satisfactory!

I was told this in a round about way from USCIS and my conservations with Washington lately.

Yeap my Dear LGG, I think when you call and bother them they get even and throw it back on BOTTOM of pile.

Im glad NVC is a cake walk, that is fantastic. Hope you breath thru it sweetly!!!!

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

Thanks, Paris... so far, not so bad but who knows what's waiting down the road -- and just so you know, when you get approved, you will FLY through NVC...

Good luck with all your stuff -- I'm sure now, after all your hard work, it's going to be smooth sailing from here on in... my fingers and toes are crossed for you.

keep us posted!

Best,

LGG (F)
