Vermont Service Center

People seem to be griping that VSC is in slow down right now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just counted 92 NOA2 notices that were performed during the month of March. I too wish things would go faster, but 100 approvals seems to be the norm.

Hi, I am new here. Where do you look how many NOA2's are being approved at each center?

64 approvals so far in april

I think there are a couple of things going on here. First Vermont was moving at a slightly faster pace up until a couple weeks ago. Secondly csc has REALLY picked up the pace in the past couple weeks. When you combine those two things it makes VSC seem verrrry slow.

Go to Imigration timelines at top of page and click. On next page, look at top right and you will see something called IGORS LIST. click on it. That will show you pages of approvals. There you can filter through Visa centers, and dates of filing by month.

Hi all,

We just got our NOA1 and when we check the online status and at the bottom of the USCIS page we can check process times for Cali and VT. It states Cali is 7.5 months 'That's us' and VT is at 5.0 months. This seems to contradict what others are saying? Should we rely more on VJ stats or USCIS?

Thanks so much!

As a tip, you probably should have started your own thread to ask this instead of inserting it in this one. You would probably have gotten more answers to your question. The uscis published timelines are what they use to determine if you are within normal processing times. Csc was moving at quite a slow pace until recently. Hence the uscis stated timeline. Additionally keep in mind that the stated timelines are what they are right now. So for example you could file now when it says 5 months expecting to receive a reply in that timeframe, but it could shift out to 7 months during the time it is waiting to be processed. So if you want to get a rough estimate how long you will wait look on igors list for more up to date info, just take it with a grain of salt and know things can change at any time in regards to processing times.

Hello Kastrs,

I thought the question was relevant to the post and didn't need it's own thread but thank you for explaining the differences to me.

Take care.

USCIS has not updated its info on I-129f's since January. Igor's list is not perfect, but it will give you an idea where you are at in the scheme of things. Just remember, VJ is only a sampling of all the visas applied for. Most people ( applicants) don't know this site exists.
