March 2010 CR1 filers

[BigSigh 12]

When I saw your name Anthony, I thought, "Oh how awesome! He got some good news! Oh I could just hug him (I was excited forgive me )!" Sadly this is not the case.

I see the group has become more and more disgruntled. I agree, wait is a sucky word and a sucky concept. USCIS had better get their act together! I am anticipating the day when tons and tons of people let us know that they have been approved. Until then, all we can do is try and keep the little bit of sanity we have left.

Patience is definitely the keyword here, though mine is just about gone. I think the biggest problem with the whole process is the lack of transparency with USCIS. What exactly do they do that takes so long? And what about all of the talk about family values? We have people who are legitimately married to US citizens having to wait more than people who aren't even legally connected to a citizen. And why is a couple who decides to get married after they get engaged penalized for following the natural course of events? The whole system is badly in need of reform. It's no wonder that so many people come here illegally. I think that if anyone at USCIS had to go through this process they would work night and day nonstop to process applications. Now that I got that off my chest, I still think that a large part of the delay for Marchers is the big increase in applications that they had in February/March (they had around 20,000 receipts in December to over 30,000 in March).

Before we complain that it has been so long and we need to be approved right away so we can be with our loved ones, just think of the people in the armed forces that have families, husbands, wifes, that are separated from them for 2 years or longer in some cases. They also have to fear for the safety of them of course because they are in war zones. Yes it is tough, but it could be worse...just stay patient and we all will be with our loved ones before we know it. Good luck to everyone and I hope you all get your NOA2's soon.

I don't want to be the bad guy here but your comparing apples to oranges. We have a right in my view to be with our wifes or husbands regardless of their citizenship. We are trying to bring our spouses or girlfriends into our country for a visit, marriage or permanent relocation. When soldiers are in a war zone or on hardship tours they are doing their duty as Soldiers. They also volunteered to be Soldiers. Don't get me wrong. I was in the Army back in the 60s and did a tour in Viet Nam. I also did 4 yrs in Iraq as a civilian. I just don't think the two are equal. On top of all this we are paying for this service which seems to be crazy to me as the people who are reportedly doing this work are paid for by tax dollars. If they are going to charge us then they should charge for all government services and reduce our taxes. Sorry I just dont agree and think we are as citizens of this country we are losing even basic fundamental rights.

Tj, I think your case will probably be approved for expedite.

I know everyone is screaming WAIT, but for some of us at least for me, I'm fully expecting to wait. I know that mine is going to take longer. There is going to be a "red flag" just for a previous petition ( actually 2-k-1's). Whenever the "red flag" appears in an adjudicators box, it needs to be cleared before approval. I remember reading a little over a year ago an exchange between a former adjudicator and someone on this site interviewing the former adjudicator. That adjudicator was also a member of VJ, and had currently gone through or was going thru the process at that time. Although they could not give specifics, the person did clarify many things that happen and the process of how a case progress's. If anyone could find that, it's certainly worth reading.

Wow that would be good reading... Can you think or any words that might assist in a search...

om i agree with you a 100% and that is what i said. the armed forces are being paid for what they do. we are paying for our wives to be here and now they increased the fees even more. for us to wait so much and then i see that VSC is through june basically with k-1 approvals. it is quite irritating to say the least.

Well what really gets to me is I have read that this time between NOA1 and NOA2 is for doing background checks. I am up for that but then I have seen others on here who stated that their significant other is here in the US illegal and they got their NOA2 approved. Whats that all about. I know you cant believe everything people say here but it would not surprise me if what they said is true. SO what kind of background check would that be...

[Rich and Bey 1]

Well tom i know from experience from last year that background checks was done now in 30 days or less. so the background checks are done on march and april filers. and like i said before if you look at vsc they are doing june filers now so there background checks are even faster. but last year i know when they were behind they took the cases home and worked on weekends. so let's see they charged us more and they are slower than ever. it has been two months since march has been approved. as of april 30th they were almost done with february and now almost three months later they haven't completed march yet. what is wrong with this picture?

[Rich and Bey 1]

To be honest i don't expect to get approved now until September. tomorrow is the 16th of march and they are going slower than ever and they are going to have a lot of unhappy people in about two weeks when it hits august. they will change the 5 month timeline i guarantee it unless they start getting up to date.

Another day without new approvals. Great job Csc. .u r really making people happy (sarcasm).

[Rich and Bey 1]

this is ridiculous.. they say it is within five months and march filers are about to be 6 months. we have 15 days and july is over. i know there will be approvals within the 15 days but they are over 4 months behind. this is very frustrating.

[BigSigh 12]

him@ash- Good luck with NVC. They too have slowed down . It used to be a month to get through from case number assigned to case complete. Now it is taking longer than that by about a month (give or take some days). The steps for NVC an be found here:
