CSC updated their dates ....Now they are processing K 1 cases with receipt date March 6 .....

For those of us who are awaiting approvals post-IMBRA from CSC, KEEP WAITING. Our petitions are stacking up like firewood. It appears our worst fears have been answered. Please observe the 06 Mar 2006 processing date for CSC. Call me crazy but I think that is significant because 05 Mar 2006 is the last date not affected by IMBRA compliance. From what I have been reading from many of the members here, it appears that we'll be waiting a while for CSC to catch up on petitions pre-IMBRA. Not unless a miracle just falls from the heavens above, this might take a wee bit longer than any of us anticipated. What I have written is totally speculation. However, to date, CSC has not approved any visas in July from any of the folks here on VJ (that I have noticed). One VJ member wrote, something to the effect, that he will begin planning his wedding and retirement at the same time. Stay optimistic because some members believe this is a sign of things to come? Time will tell...

I think you will find that the vast majority of pre IMBRA have already been approved, had interviews, waiting for interviews ...or if not approved yet, are most likely held up with security checks. Im curious where you get the idea that there will be a long wait due to them having to catch up on petitions pre-IMBRA.

Just speculation based upon some of the comments made by other members, which leads me to believe that we may be in for additional delays. Not to mention, the fact still remains that CSC has not issued any approvals in July. Not unless CSC is going to simply "rubber stamp" approved on all of our petitions, there could possibly be delays in petition approvals (unless what I read is true that the quotas for other visa types are almost met freeing up time for CSC to focus on K1 petitions). What have you heard or read that leads you to believe otherwise?
