I am June 1 filler under VSC. May be 2 more mnths to go and extension getting close ??

Yes, unfortunately probably you have a few more months to wait as a VSC filer. What was the date on your GC? The extension letter is valid until GC expiry date + 1 year.

 

Is your timeline updated?

Hey Ya'll,  I have not been commenting lately, just reading along and waiting like everyone else, but today, I just did some reading and got so enraged....  

As most of us already know, our MSC cases were delayed due to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) cases (I-821D & I-765) being put ahead of ours.  I had not read an actual article about it.  This one give statistics on it and states how the MSC had 'hiring difficulties' and there were more than 800K of our cases just piled up in their center.  The article is more than one year old, but here is the link.  I have not been able to keep up with all of the posts in this thread; so, maybe someone already posted something like this.  

 

I got upset while checking the processing times; neither of those case types has a processing date older than August.  The listed processing dates are from August to December.  Meanwhile our cases, in the VSC, have not even hit April of last year......   unbelievable..... 

 

I am sorry, really just ranting today.....

The center for immigration studies is a garbage non-profit organization with an anti-immigration agenda. This article is garbage.

Maybe it is not accurate, but the VSC applications are really far behind and the USCIS website is showing all of the DACA cases have a much better processing time.....    :ranting:

Well if you think about it, folks on DACA have dire needs than we i751 folks do. The waiting sucks but while you're lifting conditions you are still a permanent resident, can work and travel anywhere.

 

DACA filers on the other hand are not and require this document to give them a bit of the freedom and rights we permanent residents have..which is why their cases have more priority over our cases. So i751 cases are looking at a minor inconvenience (long waits etc.) versus life changing events for DACA filers.

 

Personally, I have no problems if a 1000 DACA cases were shoved ahead of mine. Again the waiting sucks but it's just a minor inconvenience..nothing compared to what DACA filers go through and what they endure daily without this piece of document.

your comment has definitely made me rethink my rant.  ;)  was just in one of those moods, ya know.  :P

 

some time back, I saw a documentary on the subject and there was one young male, who applied to college.  The plus, the college allowed him entrance but would not give him in-state rates and he had to pay the out-of-state rates just bc he did not have his legal papers, and of course that was through no fault of his own.  it was his parents.   so, yes, you are right.  :)
