What is GOING ON with VSC

[tryingtogetinfo 0]

I applied for I-130 09/21/06 and received my NOA1 on the 9/27/06 for my wife.....so far there was few date changes in the web site. So I finally called them today the 1/31/07 and they said that, they need more info and they send a mail on 1/25/07 but I did not see anything on the web site about them needing any more information.......did anyone have to go through this situation. does that mean I have to wait another 3 more months for my approvals

You have a RFE coming your way, it depends how fast you can send the RFE back as to how long you will be waiting!!!!!

It does seem a little slow, but maybe things will begin to speed up in the coming shortness of time!! I've noticed approvals for people who applied just before me, so maybe, personally speaking, an approval isnt too farr off.

I have also been waiting in VSC since September 11. I have already called them once and was told that they are still working on cases from March 12, that every case is processed differently, and that they usually like us to allow them 180 days to process these cases.

I am also waiting in VSC since 9/11, my hubby is from Bmore, MD too! I called them about a week ago, and I got the same spiel about waiting until the date on the website changes to September. Fingers crossed they catch up with the rest of the SC, as they are processing July 06 applications.

The number I called was the USCIS Customer Service Center 1-800-375-5283

Hello! Always love to meet other Marylanders (and future Marylanders). That's the same number I called and that's when they told me that thing about March 12...and I asked her, the processing date hasn't changed for several months, does that mean they're making no progress at all? And she basically said that they probably got a lot of cases in on that day. Imagine how long we're going to have to wait if it takes them 3 months to do 1 day's worth??? But I can't imagine that the date won't change this month. It has to change. No matter what, once that 180 days mark is hit, I'll be contacting my Senators and I would recommend the same for you. They have to at least let us know what the hold up is.

Do you all think that maybe if you also filed a K-3 that they put your I-130 at the bottom of the priority listing?

No, actually I think the opposite. It just so happened that there were several members who filed both I-130 and I-129F around the same times that we all did (and some even later, into November I think) who had both petitions approved on the same day. I think that actually serves to speed up the process. If we could get any benefit out of it, I would file the I-129F to force them to speed up, but since we have a ban anyway, I would much rather Javier come in on an IR-1 than an K-3...

Hi!! Which part of MD are you from? I also filed the I-129F and VSC doesnt have a list of processing dates for that as it was transferred there. The lady from the customer service said to visit the local office for processing date. The hubby just got back from visiting me here in Australia a couple of days ago, so hopefully he can follow that up soon.

What kind of ban do you have?

Goodluck with your journey!

I was getting lonely being surrounded by red in that I-130 thread tracking approvals lol.

I am from Laurel, MD. It's a little bit closer to DC than to Bmore. We have a 3 year ban that we didn't earn. Basically, when Javier went for his medical for the K-1, the physicians were (and actually still are) zealously seeking to apply the title of drug addict to everyone who comes into the office. So we got it for him having experimented in his teenage years (which was almost 10 years ago) and for an incident a few months before the interview when he stuck his finger in a baggie of cocaine and tasted it (it's a long story, but his purpose was to identify it, and to keep the guys who might have attempted to solicit his younger siblings off the property). The law says you have to be free from any drug use for 3 years, which we clearly are, but they decided to consider the tasting incident a usage. Our ban is up in August, 2008. In the meantime, he has to undergo re-hab for a drug problem that he doesn't have in order for them to be satisfied.

We have been waiting since 9/11 too on our I-130 in VSC. I'm here in Maryland too. Glad at least to see I'm not alone in a stagnant state. Hopefully they will pull their heads out soon and get back to work.
