Just as you noted, the VSC seems to have slowed down a bit over the past couple of weeks. However, it looks to have high and low patterns...maybe they focus on K-1's for a few weeks, then over to K-3's; who knows.

Ive come to the point of not focusing on all this data and updates every single day; is driving me bonkers. :wacko: LOL.

We are at 4 1/2 months waiting while others are clearing in much less time at VSC, let along CSC. Just gotta wait it out and hope the approval comes through before the six month posted processing time which is when you can start calling VSC to get a status. :whistle:

We're waiting on our NOA2--and of course our case is listed as "pending" but what I'm confused about is----on the USCIS site-it gives an estimated processing time---they list 6 months---does this mean for the NOA2? or for the entire process start to finish?

The 6 months listed on the site is for getting the NOA2. you could check timelines on here for more accurate estimates. neither the estimates here, or the ones on USCIS are completely accurate, of course!

I filed a K-1 in January at the Vermont Service Center! I check for updates all the time but my case still says "pending" :unsure: 4 months would be a blessing!!!!! However; I fear it may take 5/6. But I am really hoping and praying for four months also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbs:
