O-1 Processing Time Vermont

[Justin2490 1]

Hello guys!

My name is Justin and I'm new to this forum (: on March 8th we submitted my I-129 for O-1B as a musician.

We submitted it to VSC with normal processing. The status right now is "Case Was Received". I was wondering if anybody has/had an experience lately with VSC with I-129 for O-1 and can testify on the processing time?

On their site it says that the last case that has been processed for O-1 was on Novmber 23rd 2015, the chart was updated on January 31st 2016, does it means that these days it takes 2 months?

Thanks you!

Hey Justin, was curious as to your decision on the O1B visa. I am also in the same boat. Submitted my O1B application on August 17th 2016 and its my 9th week waiting for a decision. I am on the normal processing. Would love to hear from you

Hey! So basically we upgraded to PP and got an approval within 5 days from the upgrade.

Overall we filed it at the beginning of March, after a month we upgraded it to PP and got the approval withib 5 days of upgrading.

Hope it helps! Good luck!

Hi Justin,

Im in the same boat right now as you were. Its taking 3 months these days!

My lawyer tells me its harder now to go through the premium processing as the approval rates with them are less when going through that process. I am getting really nervous.

I know I am not in your field but they will have similarities in evidence Im sure. I've honestly only been working 1 year professionally but in that 1 year I was able to accomplish quite a lot.

May I ask how much evidence you had to show them. Like articles etc? (or if you read a brief of what I have and compare it to what you sent in) would really really help a lot.

I'm from an Island in the Caribbean. I am applying as a Film Producer. I have 1 big (2 page) article in our local newspaper talking about my successes and a feature I will be Producing in the future. I was the feature of that week and interviewed. It was the week of our Film Festival. I also have 9 really good recommendation letters from successful people in the field I've worked with, 3 contracts with 3 different production companies with pretty great pay for projects taking up the 3 years, 2 of the films I've worked on as a producer won awards at film festivals, Ive produced 2 music videos for a Grammy Award Winning musician, Ive also produced a live event video for a semi-known artist, Ive produced a film with a very well known cinematographer/VFX artist, and produced 2 commercials for the New York Film Academy. I have also worked as a producer on a teaser for a film with w. And a good bit more credits in my name.

Thanks so much for any time you take to read the above!
