We got our NOA2 in 3 weeks!!!

[fbragasilva88 17]

CSC is crazy fast, for some, indeed. Got my approval at USCIS by around the same time frame, 3 weeks or so..

Congrats and good luck because now comes the harder part =p

Congrats to you, but realize that such unfair processing timeline

won't sit well with those that's been stuck for a long time,

so not everyone will be happy for you.

But you didn't have any control over that...so you go enjoy the fast ride.

I do realize that, but I have no control over that so if someone wants to be rude about it, I really couldn't care less. Most everyone here has been very supportive of those who have lucked out regardless of where they are, which is how it should be unless we want this forum to only consist of bad news and sadness.

Thank you everyone! I really do hope the best for those of you waiting in limbo... I dont imagine "Look how long soandsuch has to wait" makes it feel better/easier. It's definitely not fair and I hope this means they continue to take action and will consider moving over some of your cases as well.

I was looking at the CSC approval times yesterday and found that out of the 25 couples listed around the same time we filed, 6 have their NOA2 already. I couldn't believe it. I'm so scared we'll be approved that quickly. My house isn't even on the market yet (although I have my agent coming over tonight to get it listed finally).

Everyone seems to be so excited about moving and wants to go ASAP. I'm legitimately scared. :/ AND I'm only moving 3 hours away!!

Trust me its a bit terrifying at the same time because this means we have even less time to get everything sorted, and it also means I need to go see my fiance much earlier than anticipated. I'm kinda having to replan my entire year right now. However, it's completely worth it and I know it will all work out! I'm super excited to have him here earlier even if it means having to get my ### into gear.

It IS possible for you to hold off the process if you need to. When they send you a NOA2 (or your letter from the embassy that has details on what to send before your interview, not sure which) it should say by what date you need to have all this done. So if you absolutely needed to, you could just delay sending in your info and setting up the interview by a month or two. Research your options a little. But again, it will all work out how it needs to!

Lucky those who got approved in just 2 to 3 weeks. Ours got stuck since March 17, no touch at all until now. by the way we are in CSC. Goodluck to your next journey.

Just because you get your visa quickly doesn't mean you have to move right away. You have up to six months to use it (which, for context, you'd still be immigrating 2 months earlier than TSC person who gets on an airplane the same day they get visa in hand). You are lucky. You have options available to you. Stop looking for something negative in what is a very enviable position.

Meanwhile, I'll be lucky if I *see* my fiance in calendar year 2015, AND we had a (confirmed) USCIS agent in here the other day threatening to make our petitions take longer for daring to complain about TSC.

I know we can plan my journey a little easier and believe me, I'm not looking for anything negative. I certainly appreciate the fact we're at CSC. I only wanted to point out everyone seems to want to go ASAP whereas some days I'm downright scared.

OP, congrats.

I'm not sure if everyone wants to move ASAP as they want an answer so that they can start planning the rest of their lives ASAP. That's my biggest concern, personally.

I think above all, we just want fairness. Just sayin...

8 months is a lot better than 8 years! Think about all the lawful permanent residents who have petitioned for their spouses and/or children. Some have literally been waiting years! A coworker of mine has been waiting nearly three years for her family to be able to live here. Or, what about those who were denied, paperwork lost, waiting on an RFE response, etc? While I do empathize with those who are being processed at TSC, I do not sympathize with anyone who is stomping their feet and crying because they have to wait a few extra months. Before you filed, you knew the average wait times, had you done the research (I'm sure you have), so you knew what the process was all about and what you were getting yourself into.

As I said, fingers crossed for those waiting. You WILL receive a response SOON (relatively speaking).

If you're going to speak relatively then you must realize that what TabeaK is doing IS actually speaking relatively as well. You're just choosing the disaster-scenarios and/or different classes of visas in your yardstick to measure relativity. TabeaK is choosing same petitions filed and average handling of cases. That's fairly manipulative of you, really. And, frankly, insulting. Where was there foot stomping and crying? All TabeaK was asking for was to please stop condescending to her by saying it'll happen "soon", when it actually really won't (relatively to others in her similar situation). That's all.

As for knowing what she was getting herself into? If you read again, you'll notice that she mentions at the time of petition it was 6 months and now it is 8. So no, she was not prepared for an 8 month (and growing) wait.

Congrats on all the recent approvals. To this stuck at TSC, I feel your pain.

[Squamish 10]

After reading all the posts about people getting approved so soon after their petitions were routed to the CSC I wanted so bad to see my fiancé because we don't know how long of a wait we will still have at the TSC. So he just booked a ticket to come here for a month!!!!!!! That will help the wait at least and we can look for wedding rings and plan our wedding. Maybe it will happen in this century.
