Yep.... my lawyer told me that no letter or phone call can make the USCIS move faster... We have to sit tight.

Knowing the reason for the stall would help me understand .... Not that it would make it any easier to be separated from my husband for stupid amounts of time.....

I guess we just have to believe our time is coming. We are 6 months closer to an approval.... ( its very diffficult to be positive these days )

OK the national average processing time now stands to 11 months, this makes me think it may go to 9 months once other data are included (if they are included), because there is a lot of errors with their estimates... like the Vermont center is never updated on processing of i-130 for spouse of USC,

as well as other service centers throughout the nation which i believe are not processing anymore i-130 for spouse of USC, same like Vermont one which has stopped on Oct. 22, 2012, and their processing is 0.

in short there is a lot of service centers with 0 processing that are included in the estimates.

they only increase or keep the processing time artificially high.

for what reason? i don't know

Did they update the national average from 16 months on the website recently?

I've been watching for this because it usually comes out around mid-month, but they haven't posted new data yet. I was wondering where 11 months came from, too.

My understanding was that they weren't going to update that information because they don't have processing times for I130's anymore.

I know some VJ members have reported USCIS refused to give them processing times over the phone, but I haven't heard any decisive statement that they'll stop posting data to the website. I guess we'll see soon.

here it is,

but it still says effective as per July 31, which is the same as last time. So it makes me think they will update it again, maybe

Everyone had so much hope with october, it hasn't been much fruitful month either.

Just talked to tier 1, she refused to transfer me to tier 2 to due to high call volume. She took a service request for call back within 3-5 days. Ha they haven't even replied to my first service request from sept 27th.

Yes, they did update it although not completely.. it still is effective as of July 31.

So, maybe they are just going to keep that date unchanged from now on.

Now the processing it's at 11 months, imagine if that thing goes down to 6 months, what does that mean?

they will be flooded by thousands of phone calls

NBC is processing Oct.1, 2012 effective as per August 31, 2013
