How old are the peoples that work at the Vermont Service center, maybe they should retire and be replace by younger people that know how to use a high speed computer..maybe it may use a 4g connections, they can process VISA extremely fast. Doing at long hand with paper and a pen is a joke in matter they work, I wonder if President Obama knows how slow the Vermont Services Center is at processing VISA application, I think we should try to contact the President about how slow the Vermont Service Center about processing VISA application is.

Love & Care, :yes:

I think most government computers are slower than what the average citizen has at home.

Moved from K1 Process & Procedures to USCIS Service Centers forum; topic is about operations at VSC. Duplicate thread removed.

**Organizer hat off**

Vermont Services Center is at processing VISA application, I think we should try to contact the President about how slow the Vermont Service Center about processing VISA application is.

USCIS Service Centers (Vermont included) do not process visa applications, they process petitions.

I agree Jazel. They are terribly slow and don't seem to be in a hurry for anyone.
