September 2010 K1 Filers

[kikip 12]

On the bright side, on April 14th they'll update their phone system and a whole new batch of people will be able to get service requests. not a WHOLE lot of comfort, as its still 10 days away, but at least its something... sorry guys

Ours was approved this morning. I was just about to call for a service request and got the text message.

Last night I went through all the cases listed on VJ for late August and September and culled the ones that I thought were probably not being used. There were several that had the last activity date the same as the day created so I tossed those. Others had not had activity in a few to several months. Things like that. It reduced the list for September by quite a bit. That means that the ones that are waiting probably have a bigger chance of approval that it first appears. So my conclusion last night was that we should all hear something soon.

I did not go through all the October cases but did do some through the first part of the month and there were some to be dropped there too. It was a time consuming task but I at least felt like I was doing something to get a better picture of what was happening.

What I did was bring up Igor's list, picked VSC, all cases, pasted it directly into Excel, sorted the data, went to September and started going through each case listed under imigration timelines - visa display options - view K1 visas. Each one when brought up shows date created and last activity date.

This is just my guess, but it seems logical. The smaller the actual pool, the better the chances of being picked. Of course extenuating circumstances could change the waiting time but it's not likely for all cases.

We got ours today also. A little over a week after submitting our service request. I am not sure that request made much difference looking at the approval dates around us, except it made me feel a lot better about the process. So relieved to be one step closer to seeing my fiance again and not having to leave again after a short visit. It was getting harder every time.

After much long wait. I just received my Noa2 approval email. YAyyyyyyy. Finally vermont is starting to work again. Getting your senator involved helps if you are out of the normal processing time.

Great news! Hopefully soon all of September will be closed out and we can heartache and fuss together about the rest of the process.

There were 9 from September for yesterday and already 1 for today on Igor's list. Things are finally moving. Wonder what the log jam was?

Thank you everyone for your support. If it helps contact your state senator I think this is why i finally got it done. Yesterday my state senators office contacted me in the morning letting me know that a decision was made but they couldn't let me know which one. I called yesterday a few times and was told by immigration officers they dont see anything but at 7:30 last night i was told an email will be out shortly but that they couldn't see what it contained because it was still blank and they are working on the case. This morning the email finally came. Vermont is going strong this morning i am intouch with other cases around my case number and they all got approved today. If it helps move the last digit of your case number up or down and you can see how far they are.

Who knows, it happens often though. Happened a month or so ago when Vermont pushed out something ridiculous like 20 some in a day.

We called up this morning (aussie time) and my girl got the "oh your calling again, whats the problem" thing and it set her off and she basically just said i want a expedite as we are 6 and half months now and our case hasnt been touched since 17 days after it was filed! so she put one in and cant promise it will be approved after 5 days but we should hear something, and we got our senator calling up for us too!! hope it happens soon!!
