How many

[Clare-n-Lisa 0]

Anybody ever given much thought as to how many pending petitions there are. For some reason I feel there are only about 10% or less of the petitioners that are members of this forum. Heck I didn’t find VJ’s until after I submitted my petition. This could account for the delays. (I know this doesn't explain the speediness of VSC).

The way I see it when they announced they needed to send out RFE’s concerning IMBRA they said they had to send out over 10,000 RFE's. That announcement came early in June (correct me if I'm wrong) and it only included petitions post March 6th 2006. So in essence their saying that in a two month span they get over ten thousand petitions. We don’t have nearly that many petitioners on board here that fit into that slot.

So if they really get that many, could they be trying to discourage petitioners by extending their wait.

Just wondering.

VJ represents a tiny percentage of people filing K1s. I don't think the wait discourages people - it's not like we have another choice that would be faster aside from the lucky few who can direct consular file.

I don't think it's about the number of petitions they have to manage. It's the way they have mishandled it that is the real problem.

I would have taken bets that you were going to be the first to answer this post kitkat1 (well I also considered the wench as a possible first). I agree with you on the mishandling. I know that no amount of wait is going to discourage me. I was more or less trying to imply that the rocky road taxes petitioners. It hasn't me and mine but I've read posts here that exude that feeling.

I hope you get to stop updating your signature with the length of your wait and finally get to post the much sought after NOA2 date.

No, a wait will not discourage me, but it sure hurts. I hate being away from her. The part that is worst is when she is crying saying 'promise me you wont leave me' because she sometimes feels she will lose me since this seems to have no end in sight. I will never give up, but I wish there was a way that didn't make us feel so exhausted and confused.
