Almost to the 5 month processing time!!!

[pigtails86 0]

SO.... in 10 days we will have hit the 5 month processing time with CSC. I'm so mad! I mean, I know it happens, but really... of course it would happen to us.

Anyone else file in March and still have not heard either? I feel like the only one! And then I see these May filers getting approved and its so unfair that they do not go in order!!!!!!!!!

Happened to us too! 5 months, 15 days and counting without a touch. We are at VSC however, so it seems the same inconsistency plagues the process no matter what location. I've had an INFOPASS session and talked with my congressman's office, both of which have yet to produce any results. And the experiences I've had with calling USCIS's 1-800 number... Today's phone call went something like this:

Woman at Call Center - ...sir, I see VSC is reporting a 5 month processing time frame.

Me - Yea my I129F was received on March 5th.

WACC - Okay, March to April, April to May, May to June (I'm thinking 8-3=5 you !@#$), June to July, July to August. Sir it's only been 5 months, so you will have to wait a little longer, until it's been more than 5 months.

Me - Well it has been more than 5 months as it was filed on March 5th and this is August the 20th. That's more than 5 months and 2 weeks.

WACC - Let's see, March to April, April to... (she went through the entire process again) ...to August. That's only 5 months and that's within their processing time frame.

Me - Well ma-am, this is now the middle of August and it was filed on the 5th of March...(interrupted by her)

WACC - March to April, April to... (she attempted to count the months again and this time I interrupted her)

Me - Okay thank you (click).

I think they must be trained at the call center to frustrate callers. I hope for her and her loved one's sake that that is the case and that she wasn't serious.

Yea it felt like I was in some crazy skit or maybe the Twilight Zone. I really was shocked by the person's ignorance. Hopefully it was just a tactic, but whether a tactic or pure ignorance, for all of us it is a pretty pathetic situation. Yea I'll look for that video to try not to think about this mess at least for a little while. Thanks.

I know a couple that had to wait 10 months, no REFs, nothing, just had to wait.

I don't wish upset anyone but I sent the k-1 in Sept. They recieved it on the 15th of Sept. On the 15th of Oct. I recieved the I-797, stating the petition was sent to approved and was on its way to Manila. We are now waiting for the embassy to contact my fiancee,(she has the application and required paperwork ready). Keeping fingers crossed and saying prayers till they say, "Visa approved"!!!

I know a couple that had to wait 8 months. Why be angry over something you have no control over?

Personally my and my SO will have had to wait 10 months bo be together.

Waiting for over 6 months too, wondering what they have done with our petition... And that is on California, wondering how it would be on Vermont.
