Fingers crossed for you guys! Whenever it gets too frustrating, count your lucky stars you are at CSC - it could be worse. I am at TSC on day 151 now and have to assume I will go to 220-250 days before anything will happen.

That being said, it was to be expected that CSC would start slowing down with being routed additional petitions. But as their official target is 5 months and they were basically processing the majority of I-129Fs in 4-6 weeks there is a lot of room...and so far, 2 months after beginning the transfers, they have only slowed marginally, so you guys should hopefully still be alright! :thumbs:

das ist eine haufen scheisse! 151 tage.
