I've read that some people are getting really really fast turn-around times with their approvals from the Vermont Service Center...for example

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=56809

I'm happy for that person because I know how much being away from your love one hurts.

So my question is what’s going on with Vermont? Their estimates on https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/Proc...eviceCenter=VSC

Is just damn scary (currently processing I-130 for American citizen and their spouse for March 12, 2006)

Is this date accurate? I’ve ready many posts here with people who filed in November/December 2006 and their I-130’s are approved already.

Can someone shed some light of this please….

Thanks

Damian & Sheleena

I honestly think they keep the date delayed so they don't have to answer questions from over eager people. ( like me! :P ) Plus there are some really complicated cases out there.. the information that needs to go back and forth etc..

And we all know this system isn't "blind" the way its supposed to be. People with education or from countries with lower immigration rates seem to get through the system faster.

Nothing I say is legal advice. I recommend you consult a qualified immigration attorney for any questions you may have.

Their processing times really just reflect the oldest petition they are working on that is held up for whatever reason. The timelines here are much more accurate.
