Ah. So you did start a new thread. :D It will come in handy I am sure.

Hehehe... so USCIS is a part of "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark," now? Hehehe.

No, I think this is actually from 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' which would make more since being that the crystal skull being kept there was alien. USCIS has there hands in many mysteries apparently. Edit: It did have a brief appearance that I totally forgot about in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'(Hangar 51).

I only see one person working in that whole place. Where are the desks? Is this really the USCIS warehouse?

this picture makes me sad to say the least. With their snail speed, the real uscis warehouse should be looking about the same. The good part is that sooner or later (pleeeeeaase, be sooner) EVERY petition is getting on the table, and there WILL be the decision.

Hi there! We submitted our paperwork 04/14/2012 and received email NOA1 today (04/24/2012), it went to Vermont State Center. Now the website says that the average processing time there is 8.7 months, while at Cali Center it's only about 5. How accurate do you believe these estimates are? I in no way want to settle with waiting for 8 more month, given some petitions are going through a shorter cycle of 5??? What would you say, guys?
