:)Have a great day too! Just started to prepare for my job starting on Monday, so today passed by pretty quickly. Hope you all have 'short', busy and not torturing days too!

Hey everyone. It's a new week and one more closer to that day.. whenever it will be -- Hopefully soon!!!

Hey everyone.. Just wanted to report this here and feel free to pass along to other threads.. After hearing all the "hub-bub" about CSC processing times and the like. People believing the process has halted and nothing is being done. Even failed calls of my own where information conflicted with what I consider to be common sense; I decided to write my Senator and Congressman. Response from speaking to someone today indicates a few things.

1) Process times are on schedule and within the 5 - 7 month window. This person indicated that this is true of both CSC and VSC. As always they try to keep times closer to the 5 month window but are not always successful - volume, vacations, etc.. 2) No adjudications officers at the CSC were "pulled" to process Dream Act petitions. Rather other officers were "brought in" from external sources to help in processing for the Dream Act. 3) As usual at the end of a full 5 months and no word on your K1 to contact someone CSC, VSC, Senator or Congressman to find out the status.

Hey everyone I wanted to post this here, but feel free to pass along to other threads.

After hearing all of the "hub-bub" about Dream Act petitions getting preference, adjudication officers being "pulled" from other areas for processing, CSC not processing anything, etc., etc., etc.. Even my own failed attempts to call the CSC and receiving conflicting and nonsense information. One sweet girl, obviously misunderstanding something, told me that the service centers count the first month of the process as zero month.. Huh??? I asked her if the IRS would let me have a zero month.. So I wrote both my Senator and Congressman. Wanted to "get it from the horses mouth" so to speak. Anyway, today I received a call and received what I would call reliable information (my Senators Immigration Specialist). So.. here it is..

1) CSC and VSC are processing as quickly as possible. No adjudication officers were "pulled" from processing K1 or other areas to process Dream Act petitions. Rather more adjudication officers were "brought in" from other resources.

2) Expect 5 to 7 months in the processing time. Typically no less and "hopefully" no longer. But at the end of a "full" 5 months contact someone to find out your status.. (i.e., CSC, VSC, Senator, Congressman, God.. LOL)

3) This puts Sept K1's at Mid February or March for NOA2. So we should be expecting notifications sometime around that time.

4) As always read everything thoroughly and "with a grain of salt".. even what I am telling you... check it out thoroughly and for everyone's benefit don't push propaganda or false information.

I sure hope this helps OR at minimum puts minds to rest knowing that the machine - be it slower than anyone wants - is still functioning.

As always... GOOD LUCK!! Let everyone know when you get your NOA2.

Sorry for the redundancy. I pressed a combination of buttons writing the first and everything disappeared.. If able please delete the first. Thanks!

Wow...Thank you so much for this information!! I greatly appreciate it and it DOES put my mind at ease and makes me a little excited knowing that February is just around the corner

It would make for a nice Valentine's Day to receive that NOA2.

[cornwallloz 1]

Thanks for the info! Definitely good to know things are still moving at least. I hope February means we start to get some NOA2s on here!!

[AmiamiO 0]

Thanks for the info!

[Scott65 27]

Can hope for the NOA2 around Valentines Day and then be with my girl for March 8..

We'll see what time brings..

[cornwallloz 1]

5 months for me is feb 24...and I heard with London you usually wait about two months after approval until interview. So april 24 at the earliest for me maybe...Man that seems a long time from now!

[cornwallloz 1]

Isn't it odd how much timelines vary?? Scott65, your estimate of NOA2 says between jan 13 and feb 28...which is a huge gap! Whereas mine is just march 28 to April 4 (as of today) - a gap of just 6 days. I'm at VSC not CSC, but still it's so weird! I wonder what causes that??

I would expect that it is more of a lack of data or incomplete or incorrect data from the timelines. I would think the coding behind the scenes is the same for both CSC and VSC. Just thoughts since I am in IT.

Concentrate on the end and not the time.

As for Ukraine my understanding that once K1 reaches the Embassy things typically flow pretty quickly. I am hoping anyway!!

the same is for Romania. I know from other members that if the NVC goes fast and you have all the documents ready, you can have the interview in a month or even less after receiving NOA2.
