A pretty good week for CSC - 26 cleared; VSC - 7

[Teachers 12]

Last weekend I sorted the VJ data base, and found these open, active (timeline update since 6/30) CSC cases as of 8/31:

March 34

April 31

May 31

June 51

Less: Cases cleared 9/1-9/8 (5 work days):

March 9

April 11

May 2

June 4

Total VJers cleared: 26 (I hope this number goes up today, as folks check their email and update their time lines.)

If noone jumped into or out of the pool, then we still have waiting:

March 25

April 20

May 29

June 47

July 68

Aug. 58.

At this rate, we should see virtually all March, April and May cleared this month.

If I were at VSC and filed in March, April, May, June or even July, I'd be asking questions. Most of their AUGUST filers have already gotten their NOA2's.

Gurdip,

Your Nebraskan file will be sent to California (CSC). CSC is currently processing files from March due to the IMBRA law delays. We hope that this backlog will clear and the original 90-120 day processing time will return shortly. Having said that, USCIS is currently advising their service levels state 6 months and anything sooner than 6 months should be considered a bonus.

I would estimate 4 months for you, but only time will tell.

Good luck.

Tomyu,

I have been following the CSC March cases and in the last 2 weeks the approvals have gone from 50% to 65%. However 35% un-approved cases is still too many as far as I'm concerned. I hope next week is just as exciting as the week just gone.

I think that you gave Gurdip a reasonable and sound answer, but I would add only as a disclaimer that each case is unique and some cases require RFEs and have other glitches that can add to the time. Some petitions are not as straight forward as others to process and approve.

I STRONGLY agree with your comment. I think any wait over 60 days is WAY too long.

Perhaps CSC could send the June ones to VSC. That way by early October, we would have all March, April, May and June ones done.

I hope you get your NOA2 in the next few days. ALL of you March and April people are WAY overdue.

I hope soon all the backlog of march and april are cleared. I know myself it has been very stressful on my fiancee and me, and I am sure on all the others.

I was so Glad to see Gary getting his approval yesterday.

I am concern that will it be take 4 to 6 months just to get start on my petition or that time will be done the processing, I am really concerd about it, what is the overall process time going rite now for the petition to be approved?

It's hard to know how long it will take right now as USCIS is still cleaning up the mess from IMBRA. Your VJ estimate is December and the USCIS posted processing time right now is 6 months. It's a good idea to plan on 6 months for the processing in the US - meaning from filing date until approval.

Good luck.

After you get your NOA2, then you go through NVC (in Washington, DC), the packet gets sent to India, you fill out P3 and P4 packages, and have the interview. I just reviewed the statistics for India. The time from NoA2 to interview is usually 2-4 months. Thus your whole process may be as much as 10 months after your NOA1.

Are you going to be interviewed in India or Armenia? India is typcially 2-4 months; Armenia is typically 3-5 months.

Good luck. This process tries our patience.
