Did k1 CSC PROCESSING TIME JUST CHANGE?

[LA and CF 9]

im expecting to have to wait another 2 months at the very least, not going to hold my breath anymore, ive contacted everyone i could think of, expedite requests have been sent by our congress person, so now its like you know what, i`ll just zone out and go oh joy when email and papers are finally through to the next fase. the way its going i`ll be a year and still no noa2...

Oh, USCIS Processing Time Information was updated yesterday, the 3rd!

Still 18th July for CSC I-129F.

The processing times on your case status page is "7.5 Mohth(s)" for CSC. The USCIS National Average is "8.9 Month(s)".

CSC got longer and national average got shorter, i think.

Yup! I checked yesterday and it was 6.5 now its 7.5 but the National average went down...not sure how...lol....

Felling your pain "LA and CF." I have also done everything I could think of to try and move my application forward...going on 8 months and nothing! It doesn't seem like we will get our NOA2 any time soon. Preparing to be waiting over a year here....

If the K1 processing time for Vermont is 5.0 months and the K1 processing time for California is 7.5 months, how can the National Average be 8.9 months??

IMHO go by the national average. Count on a 8.9 month processing time. If it happens sooner, great!

In my case, I'm in VSC, a June 25 2012 filer, it took 7.23 months to get an RFE. Now it's been 51 days since VSC got my reply to RFE. Total elapsed time: 9.43 months (as of today).

What???? ?

Where is this info posted at??

I'm feeling sad and anxious because I plan on submitting the I-129F this week and this news isn't good at all.

Don't get too discouraged, when I submitted the I-129F in September everyone at that time was being approved very quickly, and look at us now. Maybe it will turn the other way for you.

I really truly hope so!!

I'll keep all my fellow VJ'ers in my thoughts for us to get a speedy approval.

Can someone pass me the link of the page were i can see the time for CSC?

It's not necessarily a bad sign... as blindly optimistic as this may sound. It took them a LONG time to update last time, and this time it was only a few weeks later. We all knew the wait times were crazy long and not being reflected properly. Now they have owned up to it. If what some members have been reporting from emails received from the ombudsman is true, then CSC is preparing to place emphasis on I-129f again. In the past (much of last year), CSC has shown that they CAN crank these applications out pretty fast. The glass half full hope is that now they are ready to hit the backlog, have updated the averages, and will proceed to get them down as much as possible.

Is that too optimistic? maybe. maybe not.

I filed 2 days after you did. Have you contacted your senator or congressman? I've been thinking about contacting mine but have a feeling they will just say "it hasn't been 5.567.5 months yet.

Ooo it's waaaayy too early to contact them, they'll laugh even at 5.5 rate that it was they wouldn't care if we emailed them now!

Thank you for saying that!!! That´s what the optimist in me is thinking and hoping too! Once CSC focusses its attention back on I-129Fs again, they may just crank them out en masse.

At least they´re being more realistic now with the 7.5 months, that way new filers have a better grasp of what to expect as far as waiting times go....

unlike some of us who were completely stunned by the sudden delay and had to come up with a plan B as to what to do with our lives when actually we were supposed to be with our partners already.

[J and Y 5]

None of there stats mean anything all they approved last few days were Nov and dec applications forgetting totally about aug sept and oct . That is really strange anyone know whats up with that

I assume they are covering there rear ends to make it look like they are within the 5 month range and will filter out others slowly and sending a lot of RFE to recover there rear ends

I don't know where I read it but do you know if it's true that if you request an expedite and it's denied, the application goes back to the bottom of the pile in terms of processing?

I thought of trying to somehow get an expedite but I fear what would happen if denied. Then it would be another possible year of having to wait...

[ChristianZane 70]

That is absolutely false information. You can call one of the Tier 1 schmucks and they will even tell you an expedite request, if denied, does not delay your application at all. You need valid grounds for an expedite, usually military or medical issues.
