When is it appropriate to freak out

[Jonara 0]

Hello everyone,

I would like to thank everyone for being so helpful here on VJ.

I have been keeping an eye out on processing time in VSC based on the NO1 dates that most of us have recorded here. Do you think it is reasonable to follow up by say first or second week of July if I don't hear or receive NO2? By then it would have been 4 months since I filed and rather than being left in limbo, I'd like to get to the bottom of it.

Any thoughts?

Argh Love is pain!

What about filling in your timeline before you freak out?

You can call USCIS for an update but unless you fall outside their 'processing times' which is now listed as 5 months, they cannot really do anything for you. We frequently call the USCIS help line the 'misinformation line' for a reason.

I am sorry it is taking so long. Chin up, there is an end to this beautiful journey!

Good luck

Hi "canadian wife"

Where did you see that it's now 5 months? Is it for I-129F? I checked out earlier and it's listed as "November 25, 2008"...which tells me that they are not meeting their target timeline(s). Thanks for your kind words.

When the posted processing date for VSC is April 3 or later, THEN you can officially freak out.

30 days past your notice date. Until then, you are within processing times as far as USCIS is concerned.

Probably the best policy is to not freak out at all. Best wishes!

during my time at VSC last year, my batchmates and i usually freaked out after 6 months.

November 25 2008 is telling you that they are currently adjudicating November 2008 K1 applications being 5 months away from march (your date), VSC is usually quicker our application took around 3 months and USCIS site always said they were over 5 months behind so that is pretty useless.

Calling is usually useless, they tend to be like automated machines and tell you to 'wait', like we all haven't been waiting long enough already .

Sorry, I thought you applied for a CR-1 - which is where I got the 5 months from. But Nicoxcx is right, the processing dates are November 2008. Don't go too much by what they post on there.

Even so, calling is useless. All they will tell you is that you fall within "normal processing times".

Good luck.
