June CSC

its not just you,its everyone,my only hope is that with vermont getting back on track california cant slack off much longer.

i know i know,its a matter of perhaps,maybe,might,but whatever it takes to keep me sane.

i just dont want to hit the five months mark,cause regardless of WHEN we hit it,there will be no hope,there is no guarantee.seriously,i wish president obama could see all this.maybe we should send him letters?emails?link him to this website so he finds out how much people go through to just ENTER the states,let alone adjust status

You have to thrive on the maybes and hopefullys. It's funny, I was so patient before, I was expecting the worst (5 months) hoping for the best (6 weeks), but today... I think it really is the fact that I've suddenly realised how powerless we are. Was it you who said that, no matter how high the fees are that we pay, they can basically take as long as they like about it. It's like they're above any laws or regulations. And they really don't give damn if we have to wait forever for our approval. I'm sure it's all not as bad as I'm envisioning, but today I just feel like I'm a plaything for the USCIS that they can throw aside at any time without consequences.

I'm so glad we've got this forum for our angsty days...

Bah, like he cares. We are doing it "LEGALLY" remember? LOL

seriously,while applying legally is the correct why,borderjumping is the most effective

[mishellibelli 1]

add to the list i hate the fact that even after the 5 months time limit,there is no guarantee that anything will change

This is is the part that really worries me. Just hitting 5 months doesn't mean it's gonna automatically be approved, they could just as easily say to keep waiting. Only 2 weeks left until we hit the 5 month mark, I'm hoping this week is the week I hear some good news.

it was me.if you tell that part to anyone who works with csc or supervises service centers they will tell you that these service centers were made to offer better service blah blah blah,but the truth is,say on the five month mark,we send a letter,contact a congressman or senator,you know how long it would take for csc to get that and get to it and realize that yeah that case has been well passed the five months mark?not less than the amount of time its taking them to review cases.

What frustrates me are those people who have been approved in 1 or 2 months telling US to be patient and it's not that bad. I respect that comment more from people who have been through the same situation or similar. Those quickie approvals don't realize the problem is NOT the wait, it's the uncertainty due to the fact that the CSC has come to a complete halt. While we are waiting "patiently", they are interviewing.

Yeah that has been irritating me as well.

Okay, here comes my confession. Like many of you, when I filed I was so excited to be with California: there were countless threads discussing how fast they were lately. I thought to myself, "For once, the curse of Vera has not befallen me." See, I always pick the wrong queue, everywhere. If I think I'm lucky to be in a shorter queue at the supermarket, lo and behold the cash register breaks down, they can't process my debit card, there's is an elderly gentleman paying out his bill in pennies...

I thought I had escaped this. But now I think I have brought this awful wait upon us all.

Lynch me now!

Seriously, though, I just know the feeling of half looking forward to the 5 month mark so you can give them a piece of your mind, and half knowing that by the time December comes around, there are going to be hundreds of people in the same boat, and then how effective can one person be...?

I know what you mean. We were supposed to go to VSC and at that time it was picking up speed but then they transferred us to CSC for supposed 'faster processing.' Here I was thinking 'at last, something is going to work in our favour,' so much for that!

On a more positive note though, I haven't check my case status since Thursday, so at least I'm making progress in that department!

I am going to watch you very closely. I really hope that you hear something from them before the 5 month mark, but if not, do keep us posted on what you do to get them to speed things up. I'm very curious to find out how they react with this backlog they must have.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, though!

Oh Lord. That is the unluckiest thing I ever heard. I am tearing my hair out on your behalf! Well done on the case status checking. I got so extreme in my methodical checking, but now I've removed it from my list of favourite websites, I'm not reminded about it every time I open up a new browser...

There is no point in checking my status anymore. No one has heard from the CSC in months.

That isn't true actually, a late May filer just received an RFE last week. It's something, I guess.

I'm so glad you said that. I noticed it as well, got really excited, then chastised myself for being so pathetic. But it is a sign that they are still alive, and not ignoring the K1s completely.

Yeah, I'm actually happy someone got an RFE because it means once they send it back, they'll be approved shortly thereafter (or such seems the trend with RFEs). I feel like it's a sign of life, too. I hope this week brings good news!

[Cathey & Paul 0]

Lets just hope that the CSC will work this week and issue us our darn NOA2's... It has been very stressful and just want him to come home! He has been gone over 8 months!

Really!? I just about fell over reading that! I'm glad something is happening there after all these months. I would be thrilled even to receive an RFE at this point!!
