CSC October 2012 Filers

[Navid+Tina 3]

It seems that up to the month of December, the worst possible month to be in is October! We have the lowest approval proportion currently on Igors list!

What do you guys think? is there any hope?

[Ronn63 41]

there's always hope. The government can't take that away from us yet, right?

[Bayareaguy 156]

If they could, they would.

For what it's worth, my calculations put September CSC filers faring slightly worse than October filers in average NOA1 to completion times under most scenarios where the CSC starts moving in the next 2-3 months, so there's that. We will at least be able to say we had it 5-7 days better than most September filers. Beyond that, yah, it's hard to see how we will not be the worst month on record for either service center.

Id say you are,

Anyway, when do you guys think we will be approved? Mid-June sound reasonable?

No one really knows...you could get it next month, in July, or in October. I'll be happy if I get it before September, tbh.

They have a 'received date' (the date they received your petition) which in your case is Oct 31st and a 'notice date' (the date they approved 'starting' processing your petition) which in your case is Nov 1st. That means your NOA1 is from Nov 1st, which makes you an november filer I believe.

OT: Our NOA1 dates from October 5th last year. We also haven't heard anything yet and just like everyone else filing at CSC, we're frustrated the average processing time went from 5 to 7,5 months in the past few weeks. We have an immigration attorney as our representative (for a certain matter - otherwise we would've done it ourselves), but she said that unfortunately we won't have to contact the USCIS at this point since in their opinion we would be within the normal processing times of 7,5 months now that they've changed that.

If it's true we could possibly receive our NOA2 around mid-/end-May. We're not expecting anything for now, but if we haven't received anything by then we'll contact the USCIS.

At that point we'd be beyond the 'normal processing times', so I wonder what they'll say.

For now - just like all of you - we are frustrated, since we've been waiting for almost 6,5 months now.

However, I can only imagine that the people with a NOA1 dated from july (etc.) last year are beyond frustrated and sad.

There's nothing we can do about it, but I do hope everyone will find the strength and patience to carry-on for now.

As my fiance says "everything will be fine" however long the wait is, cause these months eventually will seem nothing compared to the lifetime we'll have together after this.

(Of course my mind fully disagrees when he says it - even though he means well -, but when I look deep inside my heart I know he's right.)

Take care everyone and hopefully we'll all be together with our loved ones soon.
