Hello all i just called the USCIS last friday about my I-129f and they basicly said that the Vermont proccessing is running behind and they are now processing K1 pettitions from January 16. The estimate was for 5 months . I got my NOA1 on Feb 27th so they are saying i should be expecting my NOA2 at the end of AUG or the first week of Sept. Not to happy about that..

Is there any Feb K1 filers here that got their NOA2 from Vermont yet? Just wondering if the service rep is just giving me a line to keep me calm

Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.

Since Vermont is so far behind California why don't they just send some petitions to Cali. Its not fair that the January and February filers from Vermont have been waiting all these months and California is approving applications dated late March and early April. They need to balance this out.

It seems to go in turns. Back when we applied VSC was fast and CSC was slow. The following year it was the other way around. Swings and roundabouts.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

yes but no need to lie about which petitions are being approved. I don't like being lied to by the government. They can just say there is a delay because of so and so and i will be fine with it

I mean did i just pay a good amount of money for something to be done and then be lied to about it? i guess so

CSC is now overloaded and behind like crazy. They all are. The processing times go from bad to worse back to bad. There isn't a fast processing time anymore. It is what it is.

Not all petitions are adjudicated at the same time. There are reasons why some go longer than others. Background checks from different countries take different times. Depends on a lot of different factors. What country is your beneficiary from Hoy123?

Also, your timeline shows you should expect adjudication sometime in August. You are coming into your window of expectation.

Everyone here has waited, some longer than others. Nothing to get mad about.

How has the government "lied" to you. They called you and told you something that didn't come true. There are no rules about when to get adjudicated. There is an average timeframe they speak about. Not a guarantee to process your petition. There are no "rights" here.

Right now K1 applicants who have filed for AOS back in december 2011 haven't received anything yet. That is over 7 months. From our original application until our interview in Rio was 246 very long days.

Try focusing on other things rather than getting mad. It isn't going to do any good for you or your significant other.

"I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

Actually, there are rights. I'm a December filer just FYI before you make any remark. As filers we have rights to know about our cases. We prove our identity when we give them case number, address, and social security number. Do you need to read the FOIA and Privacy Act? However, the last few times I called I was denied rights. A petitioner has the right to put in a second service request when 30 days have passed since the response from the first service request and no approval was made. I was denied. Idk... maybe the rep was having a bad day. The other time, the tier 2 rep would not tell me if my case has been assigned or if there was any AP status or anything holding it up. NOTHING THAT WOULD REQUIRE A WRITTEN FOIA REQUEST... and I was denied. So yes, it does happen.
