California Service Center = Longer wait before approval

[Him & Me 4]

Hi everyone,

Here is my concern... I have been checking and looking at everyone's timeline since I have filed my petition (I-129F), what I have notice is that those cases/petitions filled or processed through the California Service Center have been and being approved after at least 5 months + months of waiting. However some other service centers tend to have faster results, such Vermont Service Center. I see a lot of individuals being approved within 3 to 4 months that have filed through other service centers. This raises a lot of concerns since I my case if through the California Service Center. Should I be concerned? Am right or wrong here? Someone please share your insight on this.

California and Vermont are the only 2 service centers that adjudicate I-129F petitions. Sometimes CSC is faster, and sometimes VSC is faster. It switches up all the time.

I agree with prior response.

It helps me to keep things in perspective if I remember that this visa journey is not a sprint, but rather a marathon, and the end results are worth it.

BTW, while you are waiting, help the site to keep providing good information for all,

Good luck on your visa journey, from a fellow CSC filer.....
