I am also an August filler and I am usually very impatient but knowing the government, I will be patient until late Jan. when my 5 months is up. It is just frustrating to see that VSC is now more then a week ahead of CSC for k-1 visas and yesterday, Igor's list stated July 20 processing and today July 19..I was shocked and this is not what I wanted to see. I do think it is just the allocation of personnel though as k-3 visas are more then a month ahead. Maybe the people at CSC are trying to give a wonderful X-mas gift to the families waiting to be united. If this is the case, I can wait a while.

Just so you guys know. 5 months is as guideline, it doesn't mean anything really. Complaining to CSC or calling on 5 months and 1 day won't get you far. They'll tell you what they tell everyone which may be: "We're currently processing through XX date." As of right now, that date is June 15 from the posts that I've been reading. Getting your congressman to help at 5 months is hit or miss. It is no guarantee that it'll help. On top of calling to complain to them, you'll get another routine answer that buys them more time.

At 5 months, I say have a bit more patience. At 5 1/2 months, I guess you can try if you're really that impatient. At 6 months, that's a good solid time to ask your congressman for help.

No use in complaining about it, when everyone is in the same boat at the moment.

I don't mean to sound harsh about it. And I understand the need for people to vent. But in the end, it doesn't solve anything. I do not watch dates. I do not check my status update everyday. And despite the fact my signature has a ticker, I don't even pay attention to that. In fact, I looked at it today and didn't even realize how many days had passed since I last noticed it. It's self torture. patience is key. Keep the end in site. All this waiting will mean nothing when your fiance/e is actually with you. ... and then 5 years from now, you'll want days with more space :P lol Truly, I cannot complain if I do not receive my NOA2 even by early January when I see people from June who are still waiting.

*waves* I'm an August filer with CSC.

Sure, of course we'd all like our approvals ASAP, but do you really think that calling and bugging the **** out of them will help? Especially when people who sent in their petitions 2 months ahead of us are still waiting too?

Seriously, if I worked at CSC, every time someone called to nag about being a few days past the 5-month guideline, I'd move their file 1 spot closer to the bottom of the pile.

It will happen when it happens. There are many MANY people who have been waiting much longer than us.

Now, I will admit, if all the other August filers had their approvals and I was still waiting, I'd definitely be getting on the phone, but until then? No way. This process could easily take close to a year (or more) before it's all done. Life is too short. I absolutely hate being away from my fiance, but there is no way I am going to waste a year of my life constantly checking timelines and progress and calling people who have no more control over my petition/file than I do.

Step away from your computer. Go *live*! The time will pass before you know it.

I'm a little shocked by how slow the CSC is now. My brother applied for his wife in April, went to CSC and was approved in less than 80 days. And at that point I think Vermont was over a month behind CSC. I just mailed my K1 in two days ago. Hopefully things pick up after the start of the new year.

I feel your pain - I'm a JULY filer and haven't had a touch on my case since I sent in the petition on July 14. Over 5 months and nothing.

Worst part is seeing CSC finally getting to your petition date then just stopping. We've seen our approximate adjudication date go from October 15 (when we first filed) to now saying December 13 (oops - that passed as well).

The sad fact is that most likely CSC will slow even further until after New Years. I would guess many adjudicators are taking their vacations this time of year and that leaves our petitions in a dark, musty corner waiting at USCIS...

It sucks, but what can you do...
