Hi all,

We filed in mid feb for the IR1/CR1. I just went to the USCIS Vermont website which was just updated (Mar 15th) and was miserably dissapointed when the I130 date hasn't even moved a day from Mar 12 2006!! what is going on?!

K1 visas seems to be processed fairly quickly and while i am happy for them, its really unfair that the spouses have to be apart so so much longer :crying:

Do we go on a different production line and that production line is broke??? cos it don't seem to be getting anywhere!!! :angry:

I have filed for my K3 (more out of necessity to get to my hubby asap) so there is some hope at the end of the tunnel as that seems to be moving. But my preference was definately for the IR1. Just seems that they are preferring to collect the extra $$ for the next step and that seems kinda underhanded.

Anyone who filed in Feb for the I 130 for vermont with good news?

Sorry for the rant. Just had to vent a little :hehe: grrrrr

Don't pay attention to those processing times on the website. I would go by the times on this website instead. Also, Vermont is notorious for being the fastest center of the four so really we have no cause for complaint. Hang in there...some have waited almost a year for an NOA2. It's only been a month or so for you.

02/05/07 - I-130 NOA1

02/21/07 - I-129 NOA1

04/09/07 - I-130 and I-129F approval email sent!!!!

04/26/07 - Packet 3 received

06/16/07 - Medical Examination

06/26/07 - Packet 3 SUBMITTED FINALLY!!!!

07/07/07 - Received pkt 4

Don't worry about the time line they have. Ours went a lot faster. the CR1 visas are longer because they have more people to process like relatives (children, parents and so on). Hang in there the time will fly by. It has for us.

Look at time line for visa information

Based on the VSC timelines, it looks like they're processing K-1s within 2 weeks but all others in about 5 months. I would wait until July if I were you. If it's approved earlier, then great. If not, then at least you were prepared.
