VSC's processing MARCH applicants

[lonelyinFL 0]

Called USCIS helpline on friday, 10/28. Was hoping to get a hold of human being instead of the (insert obscenity) automated system they've implemented for customer service. By weird luck, got a hold of a rep. Sequence is 1-1-2. The rep kindly informed me that VSC is swamped with I-129F applicants and are going through MARCH applicants presently. Which makes sense looking at majority of NOA2 updates in immigration timelines. She concluded by saying "please call back in 2-3 months." So, if you're lucky like me, the average wait time for NoA2 for VSC is 8 months plus. I call on the lucky average NoA2 expectant to kindly follow up with your frustrated comment...

That's what my fiance was told when he called USCIS to put in a service request one day after our 5 month mark, on Oct. 19. Yay, more waiting.

What I don't understand is why there are so many people who are in the VSC queue that are June/July filers who are getting approved in 90-100 days. Yet VSC say they are doing March...How does that work?

They are just repeating what they are suppose to per their position. I'm sure it's also frustrating for those phone operators to be greeted with frustrated applicants like us. Tier 2 officers can actually converse with you and dig a little deeper. Also, you will notice that on the USCIS website the filing dates are only accurate as of August 31st. So I wouldn't put too much stock in that. Your NOA 2 is coming soon. And you are a lot further along than when you started. Just a little while longer. You'll be a happy camper soon

THis is because the rep give the same info that is posted on the USCIS site....and that info about Mach filers was last updated as of Aug 31....

Well I had way too much time on my hands this weekend as my fiance signed up for call. He works in a hospital and so on call he gets called usually about 2 hours after he falls asleep. Anyways I went over some statistics taken from VJ. Here is what I found out from March,April. May,June.

March there were 25 entries but only 16 had any kind of records not approved.

stats on petitions approved:

March filers NOA1

they approved 1 -april, 2 - may, 30 - june, 72 - july, 25 - aug, 4 - sept, 1 - oct.

April filers NOA1 - 12 with no records showing 17 total showing no approval so really only around 5 not approved...mine being one of them...grrrrrr

3 -june, 28 - july but they didn't work on them for the first 17 days, 6 were from 18th - 21,and the rest in the last week 60 - aug

there still shows 36 to go for May, 43 to go for june,

that's as far as I got...lolol

WOw Terri,

thanks for putting up the stats...I think it is helping me at least, to let go of knowing when. I have been researching the Embassy website for Aus and reading what packet three contains. Some of their requests have caught me by surprise. So I have foccussed on getting as many thing done as I can now...things that won't be time limited. I've been downloading forms and reading instructions and getting ready. When the NOA2 finally comes through I have a list of actions to put in place immediately. By the time the packet is sent from the Embassy I should be almost ready to send it right back!!! That's the plan anyway...what are you all doing while you twiddle your thumbs?
