Hey everyone!

Sometimes it actually depressing to see how long people are waiting. My husband is a US citizen, we got married July last year and he filed i130 late august on Vermont center , still waiting for approval

I hear you. My wife and I were married 3 1/2 years ago. We lived together in Canada for 3 years before she moved to FL for her new job. We filed early June and still haven't been approved.

But it will happen sooner or later. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

You know what irks me the most about this process is the inability for USCIS to set customer expectations and lack of transparency and accountability. I completely understand they are overwhelmed with applications with limited staff and resources (and especially having other service centers close, and major policy changes from the current administration). But I don't understand their inability to keep their "customers" informed. It winds up disinfranchisizing their entire user base. Honestly, as a country founded on immigration, this is an embarrassment. If this was any regular private service-oriented company, there would be mass riots. In the absolute least they could update their average processing times since Nov 30. This seems like a relatively simple query you can run on your records. Do they even have computers there?

If they are lacking resources, funding, I don't understand why they don't just say so (and hence prompt their customers to write to their congressional leadership and demand action). When I am overwhelmed at work, I go to my boss and give him the facts and to cya. They can go ahead and just say I can't....for ex. get another employee because of reason x,y,z...but at least my customers/clients/co-workers know the reason why...and can go yell at them for more support.

My job has consisted for months of nothing but being short handed and overwhelmed.

Problem is, when we stop to train more people, we instead get put even more behind.

It takes longer for me to stop doing my job and train, than for me to just get what I need to get done.

I am finally caught up. It feels fantastic.

Immigration..Why you no clear up pending cases..? Huh

It also makes the situation so must worse to see people who applied after August 15th being approved. I wish I had waited and not got my paperwork together so fast.

People getting approved ahead of you is luck of the draw. As long as you sent the paperwork in correctly, you're better off submitting earlier than later. What I'm worried about is next month, when the temporary deal to delay the "fiscal cliff" could expire. <I could be totally wrong here--> I think it said it would amount to about a 12% cut to DoD programs. Which would mean even longer wait times, maybe even a log-jam
