Hello fellow Marchies! So I had my interview today in the morning, and I just came back from Frankfurt. Overall, it was a very pleasant and good experience, and I got approved :D

For the Germans amongst you - I sent everything in beforehand, and all I brought with me was my passport and my invitation letter (They said my pack 3 was "perfect" :D ). They gave me my engagement evidence stuff back, as well as the originals of my birth cert and the police report. If any of you has more questions, just pm me. They only thing that is a little annoying is the waiting. Oh, and at the tram station, there is a booth where you can leave your electronics and stuff like that. It costs 5 Euros, but I was so happy that it was there. I went in at 8:20 and out at 13:35.

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Congraaaats :thumbs:

UGH! Stop. At the risk of being flamed by everyone, and being a visajourney member myself, I still have to ask if you guys could keep this stuff offline and off the forum? This can't be the only way y

I can only imagine the dread that April and May filers must be thinking. The same things we did when we saw February people waiting 200 days. The denial... "Oh, surely they will catch up by us?" or th

In honor of the amazing super fast VSC rep holding our case hostage, I've written a poem. It is to the tune of "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch". I call it, "Ode to Mister Sloth". You're a slow one,

I was thinking that, too.

You know, I do pretty OK waiting so long as there is some progress. But when they do absolutely nothing, I have major trouble getting through the day, and a lot of rage... :clock: :clock: :clock: :clock: :clock: :clock: :clock: :clock:

Personally, I think that is VERMONT's average... because we all know CSC is flying through June. I think they did that to cover their own *sses.

Do any old timers that have given the old "VSC was faster last year" remember them changing the national average to 8+ months or changing the 5 month average to a date?

Does this mean nobody gets raises because they don't meet their goals? Does it mean they are hiring more?

I wonder if they are wondering about cutting those 100 jobs a couple years ago in Vermont?

They are obviously tealizing we are aware of the truth, and they are trying to cover it with more bull. And they know there is nothing we can do about it.

They do not care and get paid no matter what.... They are government workers.

When you check your case status at the USCIS website you can change the last digits of the case number and it will display other people's cases. By doing this over and over hundreds of times you can find the numbers that correspond to all the I-129Fs in your general NOA1 date range. Doing it from scratch, you would have to weed through all of the other types of petitions, but fortunately, the hard part is already done! Nargie has compiled a list (that she posts in this thread regularly) which contains a lot of the I-129Fs at VSC for several days in March. By typing those numbers in periodically at the USCIS site, you can track where the movement is at any given time (i.e. what dates are getting the most attention).

I-129F packet mailed: 3/2/2012
NOA1: 3/7/2012
