Tin-Jen, I agree that calling them seems to be a waste of time right now. Have you considered a congressional inquiry? I think that this might help to some extent... and if it is just to direct some attention on the bulks of I-129F's that are locked away somewhere in Vermont.

our congressman doesn't do much..... we have contacted the senator and they were very helpful and said they would look into it. then we got a letter back, a couple of days later saying they can't do anything right now and we should contact them agai 5 months plus 30 days after our noa1 date, which will be soon, so we are going to do that, although i doubt that will be of much help.... ;)

we will see... maybe vermont starts approving march at lightning speed today.... (yeah, right.... ;) )

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

Yep, I remember that now. I was pretty sure I had been looking at that approval for a week already. :)

If it's the same one, I apologize for the false start. But I swear it wasn't there yesterday. Or is Igor's list just trying to mix it up to make us think there is progress? LOL!

There has been nothing from VSC. Something's going on (or not going on) there... yet again. 186 days estimated now.

Hahaha. I think that list does have a tendency to mess with our minds. The thing that I can never understand is how my number in the sequence can drop even when there have been no approvals since the last time I checked it. I can understand when my number increases because more people are constantly creating timelines and may be inputting NOA1 dates earlier than mine, but in order to go down when no one is being approved... are people dropping out? Haha. It's a mystery!

I guess the good news that I've been taking away from the list lately are the 5 approvals on 8/27 and the one on 8/28 - even though they are Jan/Feb filers, at least it's movement. It keeps my head up!

Good luck to us all!

Also, Ive been at the USCIS website checking the list of March 7th NOA1 case numbers for I-129F that nargie posted back on page 49 of this thread...

Here are a few statistics: There are 62 cases in that list - four of them are currently in RFE - one of them has been approved already. So, slowly but surely, March is being worked on.

Keep the faith, everyone!

Only one approval yesterday according to Igor's List (for a poor January filer)? Can they get any slower? Their inconsistency is just really hard to deal with.

Wow, it's really a shame :( . I'm wondering if a delay like that, with such a big difference between the service centers, has happened before. Like I said in another post, I read some not so nice postings on the CSC before we got our NOA1 and was praying that we would be sent to Vermont, but now it all seems the other way around. I can only imagine how hard it must be, and I'm sending you all positive vibes.

Yeah, that's what I have heard from people in other threads. That is why we have decided not to become involved with the congressman/senator until the 5 months + 30 days are over. We will fill out the privacy release forms this weekend and send everything off after labor day. As if it's not hard enough already to go through this process and be apart from each other, we now have to deal with sutff like that. Ugh!

Normally im cool and relaxed about this, but hearing my fiancee this morning got me more frustrated. She feels bad and is very frustrated and to top it off, one of her FB friends posted a picture of her visa this morning. Kinda rubbing it in.

This situation sucks :angry: :angry: :angry:

This is what happens when you do things the right way. This is how they treat you. But if you came in illegally, i think there's a priority in this country for you. :angry: :angry: :angry:
