This whole process of waiting for our visa is beginning to become a joke! Why are people's petitions submitted in August 2012 being processed before July filers?? Even if we call to find out the status of our petition, they cannot even tell us. Beyond frustrated! We can't even send an e request because according to USCIS website, we are within the processing times. The website date is stating July 2nd and our processing date is July 17th! However, we are seeing people who petitioned mid August who have been approved.

On top of it all, my fiancé and I are raising a 3 week old baby. I wish they would just give us an answer! Otherwise we are seriously considering moving to Australia.

Haha, Now why would you say that? How stupid do you think we are? We started a family and would love nothing more than to move on in our lives but feel we are stuck in limbo trying to move forward!

Sri can't answer your question. This process is well known....at least to most.

I totally feel your pain. Im here in the US raising our child alone. Yesterday was her 1 year old birthday party. Wish my fiance was here. It totally does suck and I wish they would do something in special cases for us. Unfortunately it looks like we are gonna have wait our turn.

Sending love and prayers your way. Hope things get better!

And the comment about "USCIS forcing you to have a baby" umm, that is very rude and really unnecessary. That comment hurt my feelings being that my childs father isnt here as well. Children are a blessing from God. Not something that we are burdened with. Adrian was just venting. Respect that.

"Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable." Bruce Lee

FYI, I know the Vermont Service Center is processing July petitions now. I am a July filer and I just got notice that I will be getting an RFE this past week.

I hear Quantas has daily flights from LAX.

Seems like you have a lot to prepare for. Have you done the CRBA for the baby? Have you gotten the baby a US passport? Oh yeah, you need to do that. Otherwise she will get her visa and the baby will not be able to come along.

Stop checking the useless updates and get busy preparing things for your family.

If you do the math the updated website is one month behind so it makes sense that people from august are seeing a approval since we are now in feb. When they update the site for the feb workload it should say they are working on sept submits.

But why are they approving August NOA1s before July NOA1s like us and lost of other people who post here?

Based on their website it says that it takes a while for them to update your file online... also your file can be sent straight to the embassy and your fiancee would get the notice before you. So for all you know your file could already be approved since the past few weeks we have been seeing a few people announce their approval and they applied in August.

Sorry i am not the expert but based on what i have read here and what our attorney has told us and my own calculations by the end of this month the Vermont office should be well done with the paperwork they received through September. Which means I am 2 months closer!
