Congrats!

I think things are starting to move now. This is not an avalanche, but a solid handful of approvals in the last few days after weeks of very little activity. I'm hopeful most of the November filers will be seeing approvals in the next week or two.

Thanks……I am sure thing are starting to move….and a lot of us will get approved by the end of this month…after following september/october timelines closely…I m pretty sure by end of this month…most of us will be approved…and start our NVC stage….

It just worries me that there are still October people waiting at vsc. They seem to have a very random approval process.

VSC is all over their timelines. Didn't someone just got approved today in 2 months from VSC? I was checking random numbers and some of the cases there are still under RFE review since 2 months.

I understand your concern. It appears there truly is no method to the madness at the USCIS. At first I thought it might have been preparation for DACA renewals. Training or work flow adjustments. Then it hit me that the slow down and confusion might be coming from November being the first month of direct delivery to the service centers from the lock box. I'm getting the feeling that perhaps some of files were placed out of sequence or they are severely disorganized due to the change in flow (versus being previously "transferred").

In any event, November is up to 23% and there has now been a little movement in October too. I think once someone at the VSC straightens out the files, they may move quickly. I understand that some folks see these odd 2 week and 1 month approvals as a way to get their averages down, but I tend to think it is more of a case of disorganization. I have a hard time believing our government is sufficiently creative and (most importantly)effective in executing a plan correctly for time line deception. We'd be giving them too much credit I'm afraid.

I agree with the above post, I think lot's of November filers will see approvals by the end of the month. Hang in there!

Don't count on it. Nebraska's approvals have little to do with Vermont

Woot! Big congrats, hope it's my turn next!! Best of luck on the rest of your journey!

It's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. And it seems like all the centers have done this in one form or another.

Makes me really mad to be so powerless.

Today is my 6 month anniversary with USCISuck. Worst anniversary ever.

Oh and to the other michigan people: I'm from Rochester MI!
