December 2009 Filers - CSC!

[Casper&Diana 0]

He just spoke to Joy ( the lady who handles dealing with the USCIS) and she is getting a hold of the CSC for us today. She said we would hear something back in the next couple of days and that it would be a generic response. But she said she wasn't going to stop after she received the response so I am happy she is up for a challenge!

Oh of course yes. When the five month date hits I will be sure to also call.

Hopefully we both don't have to wait that long!!

Oh that is a great picture! Love Mexico never been scuba diving though kind have a fear of the ocean..well mainly things in the ocean...ok I am terrified of sharks lol

Wow MeggyMo, Angelo's rep. is far more supportive than mine! Besides your Congressman (1) we also each have two Senators too that we can contact. Given my dwindling reserve of patience (hey, I never had much to start with!), I may give one of them a call in a week or so too. That especially if Joy comes back with something more revealing than the, 'it isn't done because it isn't done' that I got.

SCUBA isn't so scary. If you can breathe without mechanical assistance you can do it. That was Diana's first time and she did great. Two dives and down to 35' (uh, 11 meters). If you ever think about lessons I would recommend an intensive dive Club Med. They have great instructors. Never been hassled by a shark but I have petted Moray Eels. That's a kick!

Yea I was really happy to hear that she knew we were going to get the generic it isn't done because response but her telling him that she wouldn't stop with that really made me feel that this could definitely help!

Oh I hear you on that. Thank goodness Angelo is a patient person because if he was anything like me we would both be going nuts!

Yea I am hoping Joy can give us some more insight not just for Angelo and my case but so I can pass on some info to the rest of us December stragglers. You know it was funny after Angelo got off the phone with Joy we were talking and he was like ya know we knew something would hold our case up I mean come on its us!

And he did have a point we have some pretty bad luck lol. So I guess I just have to relax and roll with the punches. Easier said than done.

JEEZE that is wayyyy too far down for me. See as soon as I see ocean I instantly think of JAWS. My all time favorite movie but it has terrified me since the first time I seen it when I was 7.

So as much fun as I am sure it is I think putting one toe in the water would cause me to freak out lol

Firstly I hope that everyone who is still waiting for their NO2 hears something before the week is out! The whole system is just weird. How hard is it to deal with paperwork in the order in which it arrives?

Anyway, I received Packet 3 yesterday and I am just about to post off the required paperwork. Woo hoo Then more waiting for the appointment letter to arrive, sigh...

I agree Emma -- I do nto understand how some petitions are processed & others are left waiting...its very unfair & extremely frustrating! My prayers are with those of you who have yet to get NOA2.

I received Packet 3, 3 days ago...mailed it back yesterday...hoping to get Packet 4 before the weekend....hoping to fly out of Aus around the 13th April...YAY!

I've wondered, too. A few possible explanations:

1.) Work is spread out to all adjudicators. Some may work faster than others.

2.) Name and background checks may take longer for some people than others. If criminal history or financial indicators come up, they may spend more time looking into those hits until they are resolved.

3.) Not enough info is provided, which means and RFE is sent.

I remember reading an interview on this site (somewhere) with someone from the VSC who essentially explained that petitions are attended to in the order they are received, but depending on the work that needs to be done on them, some may be approved before others.

I suppose those are some possibilities but I would have thought if we needed an RFE it would have been sent by now.

What seems unusual is that a block of mid to late December filers are stalled, kinda like they are in a box on someones desk that works slow, real slow. Maybe they brought in some additional case workers to help and they were given the fresh Jan and Feb cases to rip thru then go back to their normal assignments?

Who Knows??

Maybe enough petioners and congressional enquires to USCIS will break something loose?

That is exactly what I am hoping for. I'm thinking if they get enough inquiries about petitions filed around the same time then yes something should be done.

I think quite a few of us have taken further steps and that is great!

Anything to shake things up I am sure can only help us

Alas, I checked my status and it says the same thing it did 3 1/2 months ago.

Well thank ya

But really who knows I could be touched then it just sits there. Hoping thats not the case.

I am sure I won't hear anything this weekend either arrrgghhh

So we are still in the same boat.

If they took a peek at my case I am sure they will be looking at yours real soon.

I just took comfort in the fact that they obviously didnt completely forget about us December filers

[MeggyMo 4]

Approved Approved Approved!!!

Angelo got the text this morning.

We couldn't be happier right now.

I am so excited to get the rest of this on the go
