What are you insinuating about the December K1 Filers at CSC? That they're doing ours and stopped working on Dec I-130s? If so, I would appreciate you not use the Dec K1's as an excuse for your wait

Its not like the USCIS sets out to discriminate against certain types of applications. As we've read in countless other postings, they play catch up with all of us at some point. They are not stupid e

What I've heard and read, it seems to not be so horrific. Fingers crossed!

Wow so we have 3 people (2 UK citizens and 1 polish citizen) going to see the US while their visa is pending... I think I will add it on my spreadsheet or talk to Saylin about this, because there are constantly questions about this (if you can travel while your visa is pending). I think it would be awesome to create a database for other people to give them hope and guidance of how this trip will be a successful one. So it would be nice if you three share with me and then we could maybe do something good for the others as well and share the info?

Yours,

Silvia
