Hello, everyone! So, I have a confession to make; I've been one of those creepy lurkers reading this forum without actually posting anything, so that comes to a stop now! Just a quick intro - I'm Dan, live in NYC. My fiancee is Lindsey. We met here while she was attending grad school, but she had to move back to South Korea once her student visa expired. It was only until after that she left that we realized that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with each other, so we've started this whole process. We've been making this long, long, long distance relationship work for nearly a year now. But we know that it'll be worth it in the end.

During the whole process of getting the I-129F together, this whole site was a tremendous help. Anyways, just wanted to say hello and commiserate that all this waiting is the worst!

Also, I wanted to share this link with you guys:

http://dashboard.uscis.gov/

It provides data for the various USCIS offices for the various forms, and you can play with it to see if you can spot any trends and whatnot. I was hoping it would be updated each quarter or so, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Anyways, hope everyone is well. I'll mostly be online, but Lindsey may post occasionally as well.

Hi Dan! Welcome, I'm in NYC also! yes.gif

I don't mean to be short, but posting that negativity gets old. Frankly I or anyone else on this forum doesn't need your theories about our petitions not getting done until September. Please use your

Does anyone know if they are hiring or are at least willing to accept volunteers at VSC? Because I will glady help out for free if they need more people...

Thanks. I thought so! The whole idea of having to put in a "service request" is absurd, anyway. I "requested" your services when I filed the damn application. And you agreed to provide that service w

Hi Dan, welcome to the group!

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Guys, We need to take into consideration that not all I-129f applicants are registered with visa journey website. It means that they could be more December and even January approvals at VSC more than those we have here at this website. VSC is back on track, they backdated their processing time for not being bothered with inquiries about applications that are over 5 months old. Our turn is coming sooooon God willing :yes:
