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,

The system doesn't allow them to create a service request. They claim they are working on Feb 6th. The guy was really nice, it not his fault but hey! I'm REALLY FRUSTRATED.

Funny how they have been claiming the Feb. 6th date for weeks now... I don't know what they're thinking. On the one hand their website still proclaims the five months 'normal processing time', but on the other hand when people call they tell them: "April Fool! We're actually working on Feb. 6th!". That system is just terrible.

Hi all,

I have been reading all the posts and then there is all the delay, and the confusing information about dates and delays and service requests, so I wanted to give you my update from my call 5 minutes ago, since this might be of help to you.

I am definitely on my last breath as, as you can see, I am over 6 months now, so apart from the calls I have been placing every week by now, I placed another one 5 minutes ago.

Weeks ago I was receiving from them the usual "we are processing Feb 6th", then one day they gave me Feb 27th, then another day they gave me something like January, so completely random.

Last week Friday I called in anticipation of my 6th month mark, saying "I am in the 7th month now!!!!", reading the instructions from their own website about their policies and service request rights.

So I received the usual Feb 6th ####### and was told to wait another 21 days to call again.

I initially gave up as most of you have, after screaming at them, asking how they could treat their own citizens like this, but then I gathered the energy to call again 5 minutes ago.

The lady on the phone gave me now an astonishing "you are at minus 50 days, so you have to wait 50 days to open your service request!!!!".

HOWEVER, and I do hope this will bring light and hope into your lives, I asked her to speak to the higher authority if her system would not let it, then for my surprise I waited almost 10 minutes on the line when usually it takes a second to speak to a supervisor, so they can dispatch you immediately with the same bull.

Well, and here is the surprise. The guy who took the call did not sound like the usual "call center supervisor", he said he was an officer and everything changed. He was very kind and nice, and asked me for my address (which was never asked), and a lot of information about country and this and that, and then he said that he would open my service request in a second ?!?! (what??).

So this very nice person then looked it up and (hopes down)... his system said he could only do it in 30 days (usual "not allowed"), only that this time, he said: "you know what, I see your situation and I will find a way to help you". So by the time we finished the call he had placed the Service Request, and told me that I should wait in the Mail for an answer to my request.

For those wondering... "okay, what if I am not that lucky?"... he did tell me on the phone (and this was the first time I heard that), that it should be any day now anyway.

Well, I know this does not make you sleep any better at night, but I think it helps at least clarify all that is going on in there.

I am not even sure if this request will do anything at all anyway, they might just send me a letter saying "Wait some more!", however, I do hope you all have the same luck to at least get this guy on the phone instead of being treated sub-humanly as they have been treating all of us.

I think that's my biggest complaint in this whole system. The lack of true information and the subhuman treatment. They get very aggravated when we call asking about the status. Id be happy with "I'm sorry I'm a call center worker, I can only tell you it is being processed but I'm not working on it so I can't tell you how far along it is" . Instead of the "call back in 30 days" or make up some random date of what is being processed. I'd respect them more and be more willing to be nice if I didn't feel like I was being lied to.

Thank you so much for sharing your information, and your perseverance!

I think what is so frustrating, is the fact that it's not like we are simply waiting in line at the grocery store. These are days of our lives that are being stolen. They are days that we could be with our loved ones... living. Not waiting.

You have lifted my spirits today. Thank you (L)

I should clarify... I've only called 3 times and only yelled once because they didn't even ask for my receipt number... They clearly didn't want to help me. I yelled. not proud. They probably get that a lot so I try to be nice, but I'd like them to actually do their job partially. I can't ask for perfection clearly.

Randomly, I decided to check the USCIS website just before bed and there it was - Post Decision Activity! I was dubious about posting this when there are loads of you still waiting and I know how hard it is to check and check again and see no change, but I hope my approval gives you at least a little glimmer of hope that things are beginning to move at VSC. Lots of luck for all of you still waiting and my fingers are crossed that the approvals start flooding out really soon! From someone who has just found it, the waiting is totally worth it.

Go figure... Like you said, in some cases like ours we actually lived together here in Miami, had a home and a life together, for years, and saw it all being taken away and saw lives being put on hold by a system, which treats human lives as if they were nothing... I sometimes try to imagine what is worst, the one wo stays at home, an empty home... Or the onewho goes and is prohibited from coming home every night for months on end...
