Guysss....Do count me in too.....Really i wanna feel so depressed about what is happening with us.....Its too much annoying and bad luck for us....

My PD is Nov 2013 too and still after 1 year and 4 months waiting for an approval like an idiot.....and that also for getting delayed not for my mistake but for the fault of USCIS......Makes me feel so down ....Even if they approve our cases after our PDs getting current we all will be still late as compared to others...coz at that time we would be starting our cases at NVC which takes 2-4 months to complete a particular case for Interview scheduling....

Actually we all should have case complete by now and waiting for Interview schedule just as our PD is current...Instead we r waiting for the first step to complete.......This is not just done with USCIS........This is unfair from Vermont ....Why i dont understand they r not processing petitions after Sep 30 2013....when they even know that its just 2 -3 months away for the visa bulletin to cross Nov 2013...They should understand all this....

Guys did anyone contacted USCIS about their case ?????

If so what reply they give ???? Also did anyone tried taking help from Congressman or Senator?????

I did called USCIS and was told same answer that they have backlog and r currently processing petitions before September 30..... I asked what if my priority date is current and still there is no approval ..??? The representative replied that may be after the priority date become current then I receive an approval .....I asked what if still I don't get an approval n she told that I will have to wait until they approve ..... I think we will have to take help from our congressman or senator regarding this ......coz as per reply from USCIS representative it seems to me that even our priority date is current they may or may not approve our cases...??? Do u think this can happen... I haven't seen this before

My question is can it happen that our priority date is current n still they don't approve our files ..?????

I really have no idea about this.......

Hello Dew_drops,

It is a good seeing you in this forum. I am really annoyed and out of words with this unbelievable situation we are in. I just can not believe how can they torture us like this whereas other service centres like CSC approve petitions within 5 month or less. I do not know the best way to tackle this problem because we don't know the demand of petition that was submitted between Aug- Dec 2013. Shall we all create a petitions so that someone in a higher level from the government office can help us? Please guys lets think of a solution to resolve this matter so that we all can get out of this misery. I know patient is important in humans life however, when it is too much it is not good. Please lord almighty answer our prayers and take us out of this ridiculous service centre. :no::no::no::no::no: :no: :no::no::no::no::no::no::no::no:

Habel....i dont think creating any petitions will make any difference to Vermont....Only we have to wait until they publish new processing dates which i am eagerly waiting for...If still it says September 30 then i will be really upset now.....every day i check to see if they update the processing dates but still its as per March 6...so now i think next week.....

But still i have a concern that if our Priority date is current and they wont approve our petitions then what...????

What to do in this case....Is any body here to answer this question....Is anyone filing with help of a lawyer then do ask them this question.......

Coz if a visa number is available and still our files are with USCIS at that stage what would they do...?????

This question is disturbing me all this time...

On the 13th month that we were waiting for the i130 approval, we contacted my husband's congressman for help. Congressman Xavier Becerra's staff called my husband to inform him that they will call USCIS about our case. We got the approval a few days later.

Act now. You can check your congressman's official website on how to reach them.

You are right but USCIS will give the congressman same reply coz the current processing dates r September 30 n that we r within current processing time....

What was the scenario with ur case apple21 ?????

Was it beyond the processing date or within????

As far as I know if the person the beneficiary of the petition is in the US, then after the PD comes current, they can fill the form for the next step. If She/he is outside the US, then they must wait for the approval and the NVC. Sad but that is all I know.
