I just checked and I think all spouse based I-130 are assigned to the vermont center and it's 5.3 months, with the national average being 6.3 months

Ah ok. I just spoke to an immigration lawyer who said wait a further 30 days before conatcting them!!!! She also said that USCIS are doing strange things like posting green cards to the lawyers office instead of the actual clients home. Nothing seems to have a clear cut pattern.

Well, I guess I am not the only one then. I wonder why this process takes so long in NYC. You would expect having more population = having more workers. I will wait till April and if I don't hear any

Yes! That's exactly what I selected! I even cleared my cache and cookies and went in again to see if it was different after I refreshed the browser...nope...this is what USCIS is telling me. Strange that we are getting two different timeframes.

That seems most peculiar. The timeframe you showed me earlier was the one I was seeing up until last week, when I saw it had changed to those extended dates for Vermont and California. I really don't get what the hell is going on in these places :-/

Honestly, you never know with these guys. What kills me is that fact that they've left us with no feed back after 5 weeks. Very unprofessional.
