Hello everybody...just curious why over the past year the processing time for a CR1 in Vermont has increased every month. Are there more applications than in previous years? Why such a long delay now, increasing monthly and not dropping at all in over a year? Does anyone know if the processing time will shorten or get longer in 2013? Just curious what the experienced people here think. Thanks!

It seems like they were dumped on near the beginning of 2012. They have rerouted all petitions after August 15th to the National Benefits Centre who route them elsewhere where they approve them fairly quickly.

How could anyone know if the wait will shorten or get longer? You just have to submit the petition and see if you get lucky.

How long is a long time, you don't have an updated timeline?

I'm referencing the graphs here on VJ, showing 206 days now. To me, that's a long time. Maybe not for others, but it seems like an increasingly longer time to me. I'll be submitting my CR1 next month.

If you are submitting next month , you will probably be approved before those of us who filed in May lol. Your petition probably won't stay here (Vermont) because of the back log and will go to a field office and you will not have the horrible wait that we are experiencing. Lucky You :)

My question is: how we could know if hi application is accepted or no ? he is a us citizen, I am the spouse from Algeria living in France.

the center is in vermont, same as your's. Our friend told us that it takes 5 months for the whole process to get my visa . but when I cjeck online the statuts with the receipt number, it does not work at all ! is that normal. I am stressed about all this situation.

Could you or any body help me to get answers please.

I wish the best for you and your wife .

Thanks.

Interesting. I didn't know they do that. So all of the new CR1 petitions to the VSC are currently being rerouted?
