January I-129F filers

[photomile 101]

I can only hope! Considering the service request is in progress, that's probably upset things more than anything. We're going to call the congressman and try and stop it today. It probably won't make a difference now but hey.

We really need some luck this week

[sabi 148]

just to make you all feel a little, tiny bit better, here's the update for the end of last week:

January 3rd:

1x approval (06/08)

January 6th:

2x approval (06/08)

January 9th:

1x RFE (06/08)

2xapproval (06/07)

1x RFE (06/07)

January 10th:

1x RFE (06/08)

Not much but still, we will get there eventually! Stay strong!

You know what our problem is? We think into this whole process too much! I just realized that this weekend... We are trying to figure out sth we will never be able to understand. We would stay much healthier without over thinking and over analyzing ... We set our goals and when USCIS doesn't meet it, we get upset and frustrated. The truth is, we are still within the processing time (assuming the 6 months one) so we should try and patiently wait for the approval as it will come :)at least I am trying to do so from today otherwise I'll go crazy and so will all of you!

Well that's certainly interesting.......guess I will try the same for CSC. I have been looking around my number but only with 10 or 20 and hadn't gone as far as 100. I know that the numbers right around mine are mainly I129Fs with a few I130s mixed in.

I have a pretty good bunch of CSC petitions I am monitoring from beg till 27th jan. Its quite a job to dig them all out. when exactly was yours received at CSC?

I Agree completely. I'm just peeved that I might have slowed this down, although thinking about it, everyone is slow, there are masses that should have been approved by now, so I don't think what we've done would make a difference any more.

To be honest I don't think you slowed it down... There are still many petitions from the beginning of January sitting there untouched so I am confident that you will be fine and it won't slow you down, give it 1-2 weeks max and you will be amongst those approved

Got our packet 3 today

I think everything will be okay too. There should be a lot of approvals these next two weeks. They still have a 5 month processing goal, and they're just going to have to kick things up into a higher gear. It's unfortunate that they don't direct some more resources toward the family visas. When you go through the receipt numbers, they are all just stuck idling around. If a majority of us don't have approvals in the next 2-3 weeks, I will be completely and utterly shocked. They've basically pushed themselves into a corner with it and without some serious effort they'll have an absolute disaster on their hands. They've got February through May to get too. Idling around on us just can't happen for much longer. And yes sometimes they operate under their own rules. But they will catch some serious criticism and complaints if processing times skyrocket during the next couple of months. I just don't see it happening. We'll know soon enough just how much they're getting done. Here's to hoping it will impress us now.

Hopefully soon photomile! When I talked to the attorney about my concerns Friday, he told me the most recent NOA2 he received happened at 156 days. It was VSC. Things are just very slow right now...But maybe all will be well this week.

[photomile 101]

158 days for us so far

[sabi 148]

Just wanted to share something with you guys... simple words but really made me feel better about this whole process and how far we have gone so far!
