Dont attack her, like us, she is just desperate to make her case approve really fast. When she saw someone posted that he applied for his case to expedite because of thypoon happened in the philippines, she didnt think of immorality, ethics, she just think of her case, her husband, herself. But pls try to understand everyone here. We all want our case to be approve..the soonest. Anyway she didnt reply anymore so I think she knew she was wrong. Anyway even we are not from the place being affected with the thypoon..we are all griefing for what had happened to our fellow filipinos. And dont worry even if she apply to expedite her case, USCIS might be lazy but not stupid to give approval if the applicant is not from the place affected, peace everyone, just smile, december is our month...fingers crossed

We're all in a rush to get our cases processed, but that is a really poor excuse for a lapse in judgment. If anything, she should have thought of the further delay to the expedite requests of those that have really been affected by the typhoon.

After reading the USCIS announcement on relief measures for Typhoon Haiyan victims (http://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/uscis-reminds-filipino-nationals-impacted-typhoon-haiyan-available-immigration-relief-measures), I submitted an expedite request on Friday.

Another 2 months? What does everybody think?

Well, the adjudication rate of our fellow transferred March filers is way too slow. As of now, they're just getting through a few percent each week. At this rate, they will complete March in three to five months. Unless they will handle cases at the the service centers and the NBC, be ready for a longer wait. They need to pick the pace up to something like 25% each week if you only want to wait two more months.

I suggest that you write to the judiciary committee about this: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/465983-failure-of-the-uscis-executive-leadership-separation-of-us-citizens-from-their-foreign-spouses-for-almost-15-years/

She just said, that K-1's processing dates are starting to line up with CR-1's. Earlier, no, but anyone recently that has been putting in K-1, will expect a much longer wait now. She only said this, when I asked her why so many other Visas are getting processed so quickly... She stopped me in the middle of my sentence to say that it wouldn't be much quicker now. Cause now the backlog of CR-1's is catching up. She said that lately, the average processing times from Spring time filers (March, April, May) is about 11 months. I wasn't showing any disrespect, but I felt I had a point in asking what was the deal... I was with my wife for almost a year, and we even lived together for over 7 months... The first person I saw every morning, and the last person I saw at night... Every day... And now, the person I talk to every morning, every break, every lunch, and every night, sometimes more, EVERY DAY. So why now I have to wait over a year to be with when others are doing it in just 3-4 months TOTAL without even half as much contact. It really blows my mind... And angers the heart.

So they're just going to switch the backlog to another group of people? Are they retarded? Instead of transferring everyone out of a particular immigrant class, why not take some from the different ones so the impact on any one immigrant class is minimal, and then HIRE MORE PEOPLE? How is that going to be fair to the K1's? They need to actually FIX the problems, not just move it on to a new group of people.

Ugh.

That's right. I agree.

However, as the failure of Overland Park showed, they aren't too good at hiring and training new people.
