We didn't meet each other within the 2 years as required and we thought our reasons for not doing so would be accepted but they denied our petition. I didn't know about VJ back then because had I known, I would have probably done it differently.

Enjoy!!!!! It's a good feeling. You may be able to forget about this whole process for a period of time ;)

Oh Igor, what a roller coaster you have me on (and not the good kind)! Up to 3 approvals at VSC today, you say? :dance: Oh, but one of them is from....October? Seriously? :crying: And the other is from...April? What the heck? :blink::wacko: Um, at least maybe they'll balance each other out and not drive all the timelines crazy? (Silver lining? Please?)

The one from April has requested a military expedite service, so I guess this one doesn't count really (don't know to put a happy face or a sad face!)

Jan 30th NOA1 approved today. Wow. Could we really hit February this week or next at the CSC?

One other crazy thing I noticed - as close as we are to February approvals, there have not been any RFE's yet for the month of Feb CSC'ers. Oct/Nov/Dec were hit with a LOT of RFE's. I think CSC is just trying to plow ahead like crazy through these right now.

I get the sense that VSC is working on other apps and CSC is working strictly on K1's right now after being backlogged for so long. VSC seems to be all over the place with their approvals....Some late Jan, some early, some from October....weird.

CSC is definitely directing more resources toward K1s it seems. VSC has been very unpredictable and highly inconsistent with approval rates lately. I'm just hoping to get an NOA2 in the next 2 weeks at this point. I'll probably be going over the 5 months as a January filer....Good luck to all.

Of course, in response to all of these approvals, the VJ software moved the VSC K1 processing date BACK from Jan. 27 to Jan. 20--I guess the fact that three of the last 15 approvals were from October isn't helping at all.

C'mon, VSC (& CSC)! Yesterday was nice, but it will *really* knock our socks off if you actually approve some petitions today! It may be Friday, but *I'm* still working...
