I had a dream last night where we had completed everything and the process was really over. Unfortunately reality is quite different. 4.5 months and I don't know when the NOA2 will come. :blush:

Aye, same here. Getting ready to email both Senators and my Congressman tomorrow asking them to do something about this mess (Will tell them about it and ask that they inquire about it next monday as that will be past my 150 day mark). Though I will mention in the email to them that the Service Center might try the "Not 150 day #######" and to not take that excuse for an answer.

I checked in with my Senator's office again today to confirm they had received everything from me to make the inquiry. The woman I spoke to told me "it takes a couple weeks for them (USCIS) to get back to us" and told me that "5 months is the average processing time so that means it could take six or even seven months and still be considered normal" ####### are you serious...:(

Yes, I feel for anyone dealing with the backlog at Vermont.

Actually, it California has skipped over some August and September filers as well as many October, November, and December filers and is now approving February filers, LOL!!!

See Igor's List under Immigration Timelines.

This whole process makes me understand why many simply cross the border under cover of darkness...

this is ridiculous...right now im really sad to live on the East Coast, I want to live on the West Coast where CSC is processing october applicants

I wouldn't want CSC....going by Igor's timeline, there have been very few October filers approved and they seem to have jumped to January and February filers. Also there are rarely more than 4 VJers being approved from there a day as of late.

VSC at least is steadily approving them.

thats true...well lets just hope they speed it up

it looks like the average is up to 6 months now

True. I read in another thread on the other K-1 forum section that someone called eitehr a Tier 2 ISO or got someone from Vermont and they said they are averaging around 6 months.

Though, their website still says 5 months and that can/will be held against them in my books, so contact Senators/Congressman/woman at 5 months and call them non-stop.

Technically they are creating 'false advertising' (which is illegal...then again a government agency is doing it) by knowingly not changing 5 months to 6 months when they know that information.
