USCIS is a huge slow bureaucracy that should be privatized IMO with some oversight. How long does it takes to do a background check for a job and process an application - certainly not 5 months. Some

uscis_estimates.gif flat out Bull Beep,unless they have approved us without updating the status

It says "based on VisaJourney Member timelines" at the bottom so it's not like those are USCIS's official dates or anything. They keep changing all the time and are not accurate at all.

My Immigration Journey:

K1: June 2010 - December 2010

AOS: April 2011 - June 2011

ROC: April 2013 - August 2013

Naturalization: March 2014 - August 2014

Well we've got probably a month left to go, maybe a bit less. Hang in there. CBM just got approved and she's been my main go to person for complaining. Now I'm all alone! haha.

I'm feeling sooooo impatient now not just with this but lots of other stuff going on in my life (I think it's possible I may be getting a job soon, A is going to propose with a ring sometime soon, my brother is getting married). It's like everything is happening at once. I can't wait until it's all done with.

+1. I don't know why the heck anyone even bothers to look at that. I haven't looked at since I was waiting for my NOA1...the thing is just plain inaccurate.

I wonder if there would be any use in talking to a Tier 2 representative? How does one talk to a Tier 2 anyway? Do you just ask to talk to one? Hmmmm...

Honestly the way i have seen how things have been going lately with all the different responses i dont think it would make a difference even if we talk to obama!! Sorry just tired of all the ups and downs. Hopes high then its killed when we here what uscis says. Its hopeless. In the email they sent me they said they are in their 5 month limit with my case and they have till then. They are processing all cases like this.

J - I'm still your go to gal for complaining! we can start complaining about our wait with Montreal as soon as you get approved!

I really hope everyone gets their approvals soon. The wait sucks. It took us 141 days to get approved, and we are looking at February or March for an interview with Montreal. It really does stink; waiting on someone else to let us get on with our lives. I hope you all hear something soon. Don't give up. It might take almost 5 months, as our did. Hopefully quicker!

I just saw it... You know it's because you threatened to stop coming to VJ, now they'll go back to late May knowing they've driven you just that little bit more up the wall...

Because the CSC is there to make our lives a living hell.
