Holiday time at the NVC

[Slithytoves 0]

Just a Q for my own I.

In the experience of VJ long-haulers, how does the NVC behave around the December holidays? Is there a last-minute push to try to get the desks cleared off a bit? Do they tend to get sluggish and postpone until after January 1? Or do they continue at the same plodding old pace?

Some well-meaning soul is bound to come back with "Oh, don't worry about it", so I should mention I'm not worried in the slightest. I'm just generally curious about how the Machine works.

The CSC shipping department has been on vacation since close to the end of August 2006.

Hear, hear!!!! I haven't heard anything yet from e-mails I sent a while back. What exactly are they doing? I understand that they are assisting not only us here at VJ, but seriously. How many people do you think they have working on this stuff????

In general, I would say like any other business it probably slows down a bit at the NVC ... in visa terms, this means it probably comes closer to a HALT more than become slow. Let's HOPE and PRAY they find it in their hearts to speed it up for Christmas though. PLEASE Lord hear this prayer!!!

Do you think it's likely that the current stagnation at the NVC might be in part because USCIS is speeding up? With I-130's being approved so quickly lately, I've wondered how the State Dept would handle the potential bottleneck. Maybe these 65-70 days approvals are both a blessing and a curse?!

If you read some of the recent posts, it seems that part of the problem is the CSC isn't sending things along to the NVC in a timely manner. Beyond that, could be anything. Ah, well. As Doris sang it: Que Sera, Sera!

If you look at some timelines, like mine, The case got to NVC, and is still there for nearly 3 months, without moving, sitting in AR. They are not doing their job, that is clear.
