Most of the folks at the TSC are complaining because of the long wait times - CSC is the one on top right now it seems ;)CSC have lately been around 1-2 month turnaround from NOA1-NOA2 while TSC has been waiting 5-6+ months for theirs. That might be why there's more posts from TSC lately - they have been waiting ages! Hopefully everyone gets a quick turnaround :)

Unfortunately, my fiance and I just filed our I-129F on July 2. I am from Pennsylvania, so if all goes according to USCIS's determinations, I will be with TSC :(

Still holding out hope that my case is transferred to CSC or USCIS sees the need to start transfers (though I would feel bad, with so many TSC still waiting)

USCIS just posted their updated processing times yesterday, looks like TSC is working on cases from December for I-129F. DEPRESSING! :cry:

Nope, CSC is doing the crazy fast turnaround at the minute ;) Then again, the centers go through so much variation.. This month it's CSC, in a few months it's VSC.. etc.

Good luck :) Hope your interview goes well!!! :dancing:

It's funny that this thread specifically states CSC Approvals and the only replies you get are from butt hurt people at TSC.

LOL

How is that funny? Not so funny when you want to be with your fiance and being forced to wait and wait for NOA2 while your application is stuck in a huge pile at the TSC! A pile that is months and months behind where it should be, TSC is processing December applications while CSC is already nearly in the middle of June!

While I am happy that I am at CSC, I do feel for those who are forced to wait thanks to TSC being way behind schedule.

I hope the quality of your posts go up, in the immediate future...
