CSC Trend Chart - Notice how much they catch up in the spring.

The only alarming thing is the total volume (more than ever). I'm still optimistic though. The volumes always decrease big time in the spring to allow them to catch up...

Ever more reason to catch up faster.

Every high peak of pending petitions is followed by a low peak. If you're luck enough to have filed when the number of pending petitions was the highest, your petition is likely to take much shorter time.

To those who filed in Jan, Feb.. Hopefully also Dec . You won't be waiting 6 - 7 months. Don't worry, 4 - 5, plausible, 6+, no.

Reason:

Processing times at the service centers vary greatly from month to month. In the past few years, processing times at CSC have varied from 3 - 7 months. Jul 10 filers waited an average of 7 months, Feb filters that same year barely waited 3 months. Don't let a service center backlog scare you too much. It happens every year, and when they finally get to working on the backlog, things usually speed up drastically.

They spent approx 2 months just working on July petitions, meanwhile, they're finishing August petitions now within 3 Weeks.

They move people around constantly. In the fall of 2011, they had very few people working on I-130s, now, it seems like they have a lot more. Check out my CSC trend charts thread in the I-130 progress forum.

Btw, you cannot move your petition from CSC to VSC.

Thanks for the encouragement. It really helps. I filed our petition around the same time as you!

Why don't they do some serious load balancing? The CSC processing time is 2x the Vermont and nearly 3x TSC. I filed January 5th for CR1 after getting bullied out of a K1 last year. The waiting is driving me nuts.

All Iknow is they haven't gotten to all of us who did file in August. It will come but it is extremely difficult to keep holding on. 7 months today

To be honest, unless they magically finish October and November and start December, I don't think it'll be next month...they are speeding up which is awesome, but don't get your hopes up because once those dates pass, then you start to get discouraged, and that is not a great feeling...
