Leaked out Photos

[giorgiannap357 0]

Apparently there are some photos circulating the web that may justify the recent slowdown at VSC/CSC centers, it may also bring further information that may justify the reasons why as of recent there seems to be one day a week when no applications are being processed. (based on Igor's list)

Below is the incriminatory evidence, it was taken yesterday at Brighton beach in NY, (blue- CSC workers, yellow-VSC workers) Let's hope they were provided transportation back to the service center where they work, and that we will see a lot of applications today.

Moving to other forum - not K-1 related.

Another reason besides People taking annual leave in the summer is that a lot of personnel movement takes place in the summer, people leaving, new people coming in.

they advertise for internships so they get some extra help... I don't know just takes too long! You know it only takes 20 minutes to run security checks, check the applications for completeness etc.... yet we wait here months some end up waiting 7,8,9 months just for this NOA2 ... just does not seem right...

While I can appreciate the frustration, it may help to remember that K-1s are just one type of visa among many - and one of the smaller in volume - that USCIS processes. Wikipedia contains a good overview of the many different other types of visas that these same employees also handle - non-family visas for various types of employment, student, investors, religious workers, entertainers, etc. in addition to the other family visas in addition to fiancee - spousal, parents, children, siblings-- as well as applications for asylum. In addition to the visas they also process a variety of other immigration related petitions and applications - Adjustment of Status, Removal of Conditions on both spousal and employment Permanent Residents, advance paroles, travel documents . . well, you get the idea. If might help to put things into better perspective, even if it doesn't help with the frustrations over the wait.

Also, I'm moving this topic to General Immigration forum as it does not relate to Site Discussion Issues.

Yeah, and I'm sure there's an adjudicator just sitting on their thumbs with absolutely nothing to do, waiting for your petition to arrive...

Guys I understand the frustration but according to your timeline you have been waiting 2 months..It's a bit early to start complaining,isn't it? I'm impatient by nature but even I didn't expect nothing for at least 3 months..we got it in 110 days. Don't expect nothing till mid october and don't believe that CSC filers are so lucky...the majority of them get stuck for a month or more in a limbo between USCIS and NVC and that ain't fun at all.

By the way Naples is just as inefficient as VSC,so at open heart I'm telling you to really get used to the waiting..the sooner you realize this the better off your journey will be. I really wish you good luck and that you will be approved way earlier then we were

I'm always kind of perplexed by everyone's admonishments to be patient. While I agree that realistically, you have to expect that it's going to take x amount of months for any visa based on the case load of the processing center, doesn't it get y'all even a little riled up that our marriages (to foreign spouses) don't receive equal protection under the law? I know that in the current scheme we're going to have to wait another 7 months if we're lucky. My point of contention is that by causing me to do so, the government violates my constitutional rights.

The government's been all up-in-arms over the Dream Act and DOMA as it relates to immigration- so where's the advocacy for reforming the ponderous bureaucratic process of legal spousal immigration, especially when one considers the current policies serve primarily to strain the types of loving relationships the government is so desperate to authenticate?

Thank you, i finally see someone that feels the same, I was starting to think I am the only one to find this to be wrong. Very well written. I am so surprised at how people responded how they defended the fact that they need to wait.
