VSC IS SO BEHIND IN APPROVING 1-129F forms. I do not understand why the Texas lockbox keeps forwarding I-129F forms to VSC, when they know in fact that VSC is so behind. CSC is now approving June 20th compare to March 18 for VSC. WE are American citizens and tax payers and we should deserve better services from USCIS. We are paying 340 dollars for same services, and USCIS in VSC cashed the money so quick and do not want to hire more people to do their job. This SUCK FOR REAL !!!!!!!!!!

I hope that you feel better since you got your rant out. :blink:

FYI, last year it was the WAC that was so far behind the EAC in petition processing. At that time, I had similar feelings as you do now, but for the WAC :blink: .... Believe me, we have all been through the same trial. :yes: Certainly we deserve a better immigration system, but we Americans just continue to accept "it'll do" solutions from our politicians. I am not singling out on group or the other, they all are a part of this ongoing problem. The Department of Homeland (In)Security is like a big ship on the ocean, without a captain or a rudder, just going around in circles.... :wacko:

Hang in there, your time will come, it will get better.

Good luck on your visa journey.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)

I agree... It's Pretty Frustrating with the Vermont office being backed up, and I have not even waited yet. Interesting that they would not choose to farm some of the applications out to the other offices. And Texas sending more to them knowing they are backed up.

I am headed to Vietnam in December to try and help ease the waiting pain... :D
