DCF is Direct Consular Filing. Where the USC lives abroad and the I-130 is therefore sent to the USCIS field office at the local consulate. Much MUCH quicker than filing to USCIS in the States.

At this point I am seriously considering flying to the US for the sole purpose of going to Vermont and asking them what the hell is going on.... are they sitting on their collective behinds? My timeline how says end of december-end of january. Thatll be closer to 7/8 months. Just to look at a piece of paper. Ludicrous.

Make sure not to sign PART 2 of the DS230, that needs to be done at the embassy.

For sure. It says right on the form not to. Thank you!

Thank you! I was wondering how to opt in!

Your talking about the Sign-up for Electronic Processing ??? NVCElectronic@state.gov sign up with case number.

My understanding is: You begin to receive email correspondence only. You must reply only by email.

Forms and documents by email must be scanned and attached to an email as PDF message.

In subject line always enter "optin #" followed by your case number. Refer only to one case per email.

For Family based petition: Applicants and petitioner's full name, email address, date of birth.

This is only my understanding. Please correct me when I'm wrong.

They have updated the USCIS Processing Time Information for VSC today, now it doesn't say anymore "5 months", now it displays the date: May 21st, 2012 for I-130 Field Office Processing Dates for Vermont Service Center as of: October 30, 2012

So according to this, it seems that during whole November they processed between may 14th and may 20th, now maybe whole December will be to process the rest of May? :unsure:

I hate complaining, but this is more like venting...I don't know when will we finally see an update in our case :( and once again, we won't spend Christmas together, flight tickets are really expensive around those dates, so we have no choice :crying:

This is not venting. This is speaking out what many of us feel. My first Christmas without my children. I got to face the facts, its slow going. There is a tremendous financial cost supporting two households for such a long time. Now I'm venting.

I'm just recognizing that it gives me time to complete a designation I need for when I move. This backlog might be a blessing in disguise for me.

Hmm- I just redid it and now mine shows the same. Updated it perhaps?

Here's what I'm seeing.

But then when I check the actual processing times I see this.
