Inorder to calm my nerves and my anxiety I have somehow convinced myself that i will hear from them by March 14th...(why that date i dont know).....and not before that.....

That way i wont be logging into the USCIS site 14 times a day and checking my status coz honestly I am tired of seeing the words INITIAL REVIEW.

But then that gives them about 45 days to send me RFE!!!!!..so then again Im anxiety ridden....

When will this end!!! :blink:

Thanks everyone. We are really excited about it! When they hiked all the fees up a few years ago, I wasnt expecting anything from it. But based on some of the fast processing we have seen, it looks like they are at least making an effort to process things in a timelier fashion at both VSC and CSC.

Thanks Kathryn 41!

Congrats Erin and Muraari! Go VSC and CSC GO!!!

Oh I understand, but when you see that you are on the border and I am just one day earlier than all the approved, you just realize they are sniffing around your application...

So your comment made me go and run a little bit analysis on the VSC October filers.

I sorted the data by NOA1 dates, and I took out the I-751 date since this has nothing to do with USCIS:

Just a quick comment: all the filers at the beginning of the month are not treated fairly. Why the end of the month starts receiving approvals?

Good job V333k...Visajourney needs to pay you for the effort you put in and for making it easeir for us to figure out..but be careful doing this on company time.....

And you right I am probably better off under the Nov filers..but what the heck....I know its going to be March 14th

Now I dont like the very thought of them sniffing around applications trying to find something to delay it....

I'm sorry - I thought that looked different but I didn't look into it further. I wrote a quick script that will convert the table in VJ to a file that would be read in excel so it looks like I have a bug.

This is taking too long. December CSC filers are being approved. I sent a letter and authorization form to my congressman and appealed for help in figuring out why my case is always delayed - and why this last leg is taking so long. Let's hope he finds out someone just misplaced my file.

V333K... if this prediction is true...you have less than 24 hours to get approved...

:rofl:

Nothing new.... :(

I think this message should be sent to VSC and let them know they have a deadline...

Well - from previous months, a few people get approved at the end of the month, then they start approving randomly starting with the beginning of the month, so I am guessing 1 or 2 more weeks before I hear from them... so they are at least being consistent with their behavior. The only thing is they have not been approving people lately. There is some discontinuity in their processing. Frustrating! I really feel for the August and September people... I can't imaging their frustration!

Thanks Susan73 for your mental support....

and the waiting continues....

:rofl:

Nothing new.... :(

I think this message should be sent to VSC and let them know they have a deadline...

Well - from previous months, a few people get approved at the end of the month, then they start approving randomly starting with the beginning of the month, so I am guessing 1 or 2 more weeks before I hear from them... so they are at least being consistent with their behavior. The only thing is they have not been approving people lately. There is some discontinuity in their processing. Frustrating! I really feel for the August and September people... I can't imaging their frustration!

Thanks Susan73 for your mental support....

and the waiting continues....

Anytime V333k...anytime... we are all in this 'frustrating suck fest' together.

Now if you worked at VSC..that would be a different story altogether...
