Hello,

I was wondering if someone had an idea whats going on with CSC in getting their paper work out. I know things slow down but I am looking and in August over 30 people answers on their 129F _getting a K1 visa) for their NOA2, but in September only 6 people have gotten an answer back. Also 35 more new applicants applied in September. (I got ours started in August) What happend to the CSC did a lot of workers get laid off with the economy finally or soemthing? It's almost like the process has come to a halt and I want to know why please if you have information (which I know lots of people are only guessing) Anyway news good or bad please let me know. Thank you for your time.

Rumour has it they are backlogged processing work visas and are dedicating their manpower on that. Who knows if it's true. Check out the K1 Progess Reports forum, all of us are complaining about it over there. :)

Met: December 2009

Married: April 2015

Received CR-1 visa: February 2017

POE (as IR-1): April 2017

Oath ceremony: November 2020

They just looked at mine I filed in February, The older one's should be cleared out before new one's are approved, but that is just my opinion! JMHO

Hey Phil, congrats on your journey and it's good to see another member from St. Louis. Regarding your petition, I feel for you, but keep in mind that petitions have been flying through this past year compared to recent years. You are less than two months from filing, so you are well within the normal time frame. The fluctuations in processing are normal and it looks like you are going to be part of this cycles peak. Take a deep breath and don't worry...before you know it you will be worrying about interview prep, then plane tickets, then marriage. This is a great forum to ask questions, so welcome. :thumbs:

I'm new in the waiting game and I really hope it won't take that long from now on... but I know my friend Chazzie here, a very patient person! And all of you who sent the petition in May, June, July... :blink: It's like they're sleeping, I've been watching some of you who got NOA1 in June, July... It's insane. :|

But eventually... something has to happened. They cashed our checks. :P

Let's just pray a miracle will come our way!

Good information to know!

Speaking of CSC, I am just writing my Fiance Letter of intent to marry and I am supposed to include the CSC address. Can I find it anywhere? Nope...

Anyone got any ideas?
