Yes, I saw that. Does anyone know why CSC is so much faster? Is it possible VSC could approve that quickly?

[dswann 1]

That is the riddle that the veterans can answer for sure but I feel it would be how they distibure their case load or what type of cases they have the most of to attempt to create a balance. I do not know this for fact and i am only assuming. I am at the 44 day mark. When you see a 38 one come by it makes you say WoW!!!! I prepared for one hundred day wait. I feel i have 90 more days to her interview in Kiev approx. I am wichful and hopeful it will happen in that time frame.

Same here.. Ready for that long 3 month wait. But with a bit of luck we might get some moves this week! Who knows!

[Darren + Heather 0]

Hi Darren and Heather!

How you guys doing?

I just noticed that Darren came to visit after the NOA1 issued. Did he get asked special question at customs?

Hi! Things are going ok for us. Just missing each other like crazy.. lol

He wasn't asked any special questions. It was very smooth coming in this time. They asked way more questions last visit, he said.

this is sooo depressing... still don't see anyone getting their noa2 yet...

same with february 2010 vsc filers..

[Mont Blanc ... 3]

Yep this is not a pleasant experience!

It is either ther will approve Feb filers over just a few days and keep going with us or it will take a while... And in the meantime CSC filers are being approved. #######!

Ok, Everybody keep there shirt on here. We are still in April but it is fading fast. I hope they will shift their Attention to the K-1 filers next in May. If you have looked at the timelines there has been nothing per say come out of VSC. Speculation on my part we can hopefuly assume they have had attention on other visa types. I hope that changes as we move into May. From the dates here it tells they are working on Jan 27.r For me that places me at the 100 day mark for NOA2. I have contacted my congressman and had them ask about my file. Who knows if it helps or hurts but it made me feel like i was doing something.

I am hoping for August for Anna to be here. We still both have a lot of work to do. She has to close flat, i have to get another home for here in Jacksonville. Bank accounts, drivers license. Focus on the positive my friend. Work now so you can play later. Think of the things you can do now to make their experience a good one and one with no pain. It helps me and make time move faster. Hang in there Man we are with you.

Why do I get the feeling April and even May CSC filers will be approved long before we are?

[dswann 1]

You are right about that. CSC is moving and not playing around. I wish Vermont would take notes.

Stay positive y'all. I don't even look at the CSC threads because there's no point. You'll only get yourself worked up and annoyed at how unfair it is that they're moving faster than us.

In fact I don't even come on this site much anymore because I don't want to be obsessing about it all the time.

We'll all get there! But I'm expecting another two months before even thinking of seeing movement.

It probably makes it easier for me because my fiance wouldn't be able to move before the end of September even if he got approved sooner. So as long as things are sorted by October I'll be happy.

As a "veteran" VSC filer I can certainly sympathize with the pain you all are going through.. Look at my timeline.. 100 days between NOA1 and NOA2, that's certainly much more realistic than the 45 days you might see out of CSC. The one thing that's even more frustrating than what you're seeing, is if you file at CSC and you're "not one of the lucky ones".

California must play some sort of roulette with applications because we have seen them approve a box of 45 day old applications while a another pile of 75-90 day apps goes untouched.. I'm trying to remember which month it was, but we were watching CSC approving January filers and there were still a bunch of November folks waiting.. At least with VSC it's closer to a first in/first out method.. But again, still a crapshoot.. You'll see March 30th get approved before March 3rd and try to figure out why that happened.

Just sit tight, chat with your loved ones, day dream of picking them up at the airport, and it'll all be worth it.. Believe it or not, the 100 days goes by fast... And every trip to see your loved one in-between gets to be more and more magical..

Hang in there..

Well, if history holds true and what I can deduct from the immigration timelines section of this web site it appears we will start to see some mmovement. Feb and april were bad but if you look at last may vermont seem to come back on track during that month. That is what we can hope for. You guys go look and see if you see the same thing as i do. Come on Vermont!!! we are due for some movement.
