APRIL Filers!!

[wioombeen 0]

Almighty then. One more hour and I will be on day 98 and It will be, in my time zone anyway, officially Monday. By this Friday I will be on day 102. Then of course for all of those who share my own deficiency in mathematics, the following Monday, I will be day 105.

I am wondering if I will be submitting a similar post on day 105, or will I be with the rest of those who I HOPE TO GOD will be obnoxiously(and rightly so) announcing their NOA2s before then HAHA.. We will see eh?

We need to bring the thread from 32 pages to well over 40 this week in NOA2 announcements/congratulations alone.!!!

CSC! Let the week begin!

Same here - day 97, no touches, no nothing. It's getting really frustrating.

We're not calling to avoid illegitimate touches , but I feel the need for some action already.

There is a bunch of us here all around the same time frame. Our NOA2 announcements will be like a heating bag of jiffy pop popcorn.

The Official 100 Day Rant:

Tomorrow will be 100 days since our NOA1 was issued, 110 days since the petition was mailed and 130 days since my fiance and I were last together. Not as long as some but much longer than others. I've been pretty patient so far, but in the spirit of Quinn, I'm unleashing a furious rant with hopes that CSC will turn around and approve us. I'm not very optimistic, but it's worth a shot.

As the days pass, I grow more agitated. I feel like we are being penalized for doing things by the book. I'm Canadian. I could have gone to the US ages ago, visited my then boyfriend and married. By this point, we would be well into the adjustment of status process. Instead, we did things the "right" way and got stuck with absurd processing times and equally extreme AOS costs, in addition to the regular costs of filing the I-129F, traveling to the interview, medical, obtaining the visa, etc that would have been avoided by jumping ahead to AOS.

We chose to do things the right way because we are law-abiding citizens of our respective countries. I plan on living the rest of my life in the USA with the man I love - there is no reason I would jeopardize that to shave a few months off the process. Canada has it's own problems with immigration and I have little respect for anyone that abuses the system of their current or future homeland. I would certainly not want to become one of those people myself.

However ...

It takes 100+ days to plug my name into a database and flip through some photos and emails??? Give me a break. If us regular folk were that inefficient in our respective professions, we'd be fired. Our employers would go under with that sort of track record too. Seriously CSC - hire more people, delegate, do something! I realize that major changes are coming into effect at the end of this month and I hope the process is improved for future couples but I have my doubts.

In the end, what are a few extra months apart when we're planning for a lifetime? I'll tell you what - a few extra months that we could have spent together. And once gone, a few extra months that we can never have back.

Angry enough? Kinda sad too. Give us our NOA2 already!

Rawr!

I will bet you one root beer that you will have a touch by tomorrow!! All of CSC is probably in line at the local Borders waiting for the new Harry Potter book.

Seriously tho, clearly something is wrong with CSC. I expected to have to give out lots of congrats by now. It's just not right to suddenly go into massive delay mode. I really feel for you guys, it just doesn't seem fair at all.

It would seem as if CSC has just closed shop and is no longer doing anything. Maybe they all took July off?

I got a touch today. Been checking it all day. as of a few moments ago it updated. I have not used the RFE thing in a few days now as well. so this must be a legitimate touch PLZPLZLZ let it be hahaha.

[Eka_&_Pyrrhic 0]

Woot! Now that's what I like to hear. The rant must be working.

Oh Eka, you literally took all the words from my heart and said it all. I know, it seems really unfair, but spending these 3 months here in VJ, it doesn't seem to me that every K1 gets equal treatment from CSC. I know how each and every single one is different and all, but to me, it just seems like it's totally a game of luck. Whichever file gets picked first gets worked on first, and so on. Don't take me the wrong way, I'm really happy for people who have been approved in like 2!! or 7, 55, 68, or even 75 days, but as the days drag on, it just gets more and more difficult to put on a smile and press on.....when I've past my 90 day mark, and approaching my 100th.......

hi all, we share the same timeline here and axiously awaiting our NOA2. I called the number thats on our NOA1 today and the rep just said the only info he had was what we saw on the website. It was the national line and he said he couldn't give me the California Service Center phone number. So, my question is,, what is this number you all are calling to get some answsers and touches, even if its only to check if we got an RFE, anyone willing to help will be greatly appreciated, thank you

Indeed. From calling they have told me that each case is processed in the order it is received. I personally think that is a bunch of BS.
