New K1 subforums?

Well that's great - but who makes the final decision?

[rebeccajo 14]

Number One - The false information being bandied about regarding the transfers. Posters state their case was 'straightforward' and therefore was worthy of a transfer. Or that because they sent evidence of the bonafides the case was transferred. Or because the package was neat. It's all bollocks - transfers are luck of the draw and nothing more.

I disagree. There must be some reason cases get transferred-be it a backlog at the local office or what.

Number Two - The fact that status adjusters are now getting 'spooked' if they aren't transferred. They think something is wrong with their case. I think this is caused by the people in Reason Number One.

Not true again. Sorry RJ, I don't see it. I don't think people assume they will get transferred. Perhaps they hope but that is completely different!

Number Three - The same thing that annoys me about some Vermont filers. If the greencard doesn't come in 60 days or less, they are complaining. Just like some Vermonter's get on edge if they don't have NOA2 in two weeks.

Frankly I'd love to see these boards moderated - HEAVILY. I think that's the ONLY way we are going to have any cohesion or useful purpose. Experienced hands need to be on board to stop hysteria - whether it be timeline hysteria, 'new process' hysteria, or 'new law' hysteria.

I disagree again. Hoping yes, but I see more people who are just happy to get transferred or receive a touch, etc. It IS a different animal once your honey is here & I like to think the AOS board is calmer & more educated about the process.

What has happened to the moderation? Seems to have gone away for sure.

Dev, you're speed reading me (I do get wordy at times so I don't blame you).

The reason for the transfers is the backlog. The other things I cited are falsehoods being perpetrated in that forum.

Yes, people are getting 'spooked' if they don't get transferred. I've read several threads of individuals who are actually more nervous because they got an interview instead of a transfer. As you said, you aren't around as much as you used to be. The fear is there - for some at least.

And there are plenty of threads by CSC transferree's asking 'why is my case taking so long' when it has literally only been a few weeks since the transfer. That's entitlement behavior.

With all due respect, Dev, you spent a very brief time in the AOS forum. Is it calmer than K1? Maybe. My only reason for drawing the parallel (in the first place) was paralleling certain 'different camp' behaviors like we see in K1.

*shrugs*

A lot of the way I feel is strictly based on my personal experience as a VSC filer. I tried SO HARD not to be an annoyance to my peers who were not as 'geographically lucky' as me. I tried to always be an encourager (without being a patsy cheerleader). Maybe it makes no sense, but I never felt I was 'entitled' to a 2 week approval - I wasn't 'expecting' it just because of timelines. I don't know why anyone would - its a complete mystery to me.

But then I'm kind of that way about life. I look to what SHOULD and COULD happen, but expect something less. If I get a better result, then I'm happy.

Rebeccajo and devilette, don't you think it's simply the fact that rebeccajo is a VSCer AOS non-CSC transferee while devilette is a non-VSCer CSC transferee that you're seeing this from different perspectives?

how do YOU see it jenn (VSC'er and CSC transferee)

from me - non VSC'er and non CSC transferee

I'm not sure what you mean, jenn. *scratches my old head*

I had good luck at one end and crappy luck at the other.

I don't get it.

Me neither.

As far as me & Rj, we always have a bit of a spirited debate - all in good fun I think. I have a lot of respect & gratitude for RJ.

(But I do know VSCers & CSCers will never agree on the K1 approvals topic). As far as AOS - I was processed very quickly & lucky. Some transferees are still in name check as well. Nothing seems to make sense really. I know I am very glad my hubby has a strange middle name & uncommon last name though.

I've confused myself now!

I guess my point was that the longer you're waiting at a certain phase of the process, the more time you spend in that particular forum and the more aggravated you would probably tend to get at the people who are flying by you at that stage.

Sorry, maybe I've been misinterpreting your posts. I wasn't making any particularly astute observation. More like stating the obvious. And yes, like you just said devilette, VSCers and CSCers will probably never agree about this.

Gosh, I don't get mad at the people. I get mad about the things being said that are ####### - especially if it causes other folks to worry or have undue stress! From my point of view, I don't care WHICH forum that happens in- it annoys me.

But then I've been around this whole place so friggin' long that I've got an opinion on everything..........

[rebeccajo 14]

What is there to agree or disagree about?

VSC'ers need to stop acting like they are 'entitled' and they need to be considerate of those at other Service Centers.

CSC'ers need to try and relax. Comparing their mutual timelines (IMO) makes their wait worse.

I don't know what there is to agree or disagree about, but people seem to do it a lot over whether or not VSCers should announce their approvals, or remove their signatures, or whatever the heck else is getting people up in arms. Fact is VSCers will not just stop acting the way that they do, and CSCers will never stop being annoyed by it.

[TracyTN 237]

Then I guess if that's true, we'll just lose a bunch of people while they're waiting because the timeline/month by month/minute by minute mentality of the K1 forum leads them to the brink. Like I said before, I find that unfortunate, but I think its becoming clear that nothing will be done to change that.

At least I tried.

*shrug*

[rebeccajo 14]

I guess, having been a VSC'er, it does make me a little sad that some CSC'ers feel we shouldn't be allowed to celebrate too.

But I do believe (and always tried to behave) that it should be done with some consideration and some class.

[TracyTN 237]

Seriously - which CSCers feel that VSCers shouldn't be allowed to celebrate? Have I missed a rude post somewhere?

Maybe I didn't understand this sentiment properly?
