APRIL Filers!!

[rambaldi 0]

I just did a timeline search, and it seems like there are only 2 approvals this week! 1 for a Feb filer (coz of RFE) and the other was for our fellow April filer samwatts.......

Aww....come on now CSC, it has been more than 100 days for me! :( And I haven't even gotten a legit touch yet.......I'm ready to burst into tears now.......

I can't beleive how crappy this week has been. Especially after last weeks phenomenal turn out. The only thing I can possibly say at this point is there has to be a huge torrent of approvals by next.

Providing I did my search correctly and that everyone who has been approved has updated their time line then only 23 out of 125 April filers have been approved so far.

I am still astounded that some people who have called the CSC have been told they are not allowed to call for another month. It's as if they are punishing us for complaining to them for their poor performance. It just seems that they should really be held accountable for how they perform. I wish i was able to run a business and give myself a 6 month escape clause on my performance HAHA.

Things are getting so crazy now and rightly so. There is nothing I or anyone can do at this point to ease your insanity. Only a NOA2 can do that hehe. One thing that I can tell you though is soon your waiting will be over, even though I am sure each day will feel like a million years. In the end when you look back on all this it will not seem so bad. I did my best to stay positive and so must you. I love the April filers and I watch this thread every day to see who will be next. The one thing aside from my SO that helped me get past the insanity of waiting is all of you. And all of us will be here together until we are all approved, until we all have our interviews, to congratulate each other on our weddings and possibly to give a BIG Congrats to those of us who spontaneously multiply (cause that's how babies are made right? haha)

So take some kind of solace in the fact that we are all in this together and we will see all of us make it though. And above all make sure you remember the face of the one your going though this for. I know when I was feeling stressed out all I had to do is reach out to my better half and she would somehow make it all better. Let's hope and pray all of us can have at least a surprise Christmas or a happy new years this year eh?

And to the CSC:

GET OFF YOUR ARSES AND APPROVE THESE FINE FINE PEOPLE DAGNABIT!!!

That was wonderful and I wholeheartedly agree with you. This entire process is stressful both mentally and emotionally- but the people on this site are really like a wonderful support group and it really does ease the process to have so many wonderful people who are going through the exact same thing to talk with at the end of the day.

As for the people who have been told not to call back. I would ask to speak with their supervisors. You are calling a CUSTOMER SERVICE center. If I was as rude to customers at my job as these people are being in theirs- I would be fired before I could bat an eyelash. Where are the friendly, competant people that USCIS needs?!

I called their support center months ago to find out which Affidavit of Support I needed- and the person I spoke to spit out a form number that DIDN'T EVEN EXIST. (And I've never fully recovered from the confusion... ) So I think this just goes to show that something is rotten in the USCIS.

wioombeen, my dear friend, that was awesome, and if only you're the adjudicator in charge of all our cases at CSC. I'm just so tired of this whole thing, and the only thing I feel like doing now is to hibernate at home and go to sleep. I've been following the progress of Jan, Feb and Mar filers ever since I joined VJ in March, and apparently Jan filers hit a snag whilst waiting for their NOA2s in April/May, due to the increased load of work visas CSC had to process at that time. Feb/Mar filers seem to sail through.

And then came June, which I stupidly thought that my case would have been adjudicated, but no, and so I waited patiently, along with the rest of the April filers, and July soon also came, and will go next week, and MOST OF US still don't have our NOA2s yet!!?!?!? Why? At least for the Jan filers who were delayed, I know that the reason behind it was becoz of the H1B visas, but for us, why?? I know this is not and never the subject of fairness, and I also know a minority who filed in Dec/Jan still waiting for approval, but yeah, I'm so sick and tired that my entire life is put on hold becoz of this process, I can't seem to do nor plan anything! :( :( :(

Took the words out of my mouth. 100% Agreed I don't even know if I can be really super excited happy when I finally get the NOA2... I am just so sick of this whole process... Thank God for him.. I have already told him, he is the only person in the world I would go through this for... and never again.. hehe

I've just read in the May filings that someone there has gotten their NOA2 already! ((insert kicking and pounding on floor emoticon here)) Where the heck is the rest of ours?????

It's VSC, which should really have their own K-1 progress forum. There are 3 non-VSC May filers with NOA2's according to the immigration timelines. One sent the app in January, one on March 1st, and one received expedited processing. Don't worry, they haven't skipped us.

I am with you there, I would only subject my worst enemies to this process...

let's hope and pray that next week will be a great week.. fees will increase july 30 so by next week let's hope there will be a lot of NOA2 postings here.. because the increase of fees..this is just my opinion.. they will get lesser applications on other types of visas.. because the fact is some will be discouraged due to the high fee to file.. or some will file because of desperation.. but will see how fast they can processed this cases after the increase of fees.. after all the return for having to increase the fees should be A CUT DOWN ON THE WAITING TIME..

it would be so so so so very very very unfair if the waiting time will not speed up..for example.. on average fiance visas take about 6-7 months.. then it should be cut down to 4-5 months..

The most frustrating part to me is knowing that had I filed just one month earlier, I'd have gotten an NOA2 around day 85 or 90. I must be around 105 right now.

My fiance called 2 times yesterday, got touched too but we're touch again today.......is this normal? I assume its a valid touch?

I love how everytime I check my time line my date gets pushed back 3 days. Wonderful.

Anyone else feel like ####### after conversations like this:

Person X: "How much longer until your wife gets here"

Me: "Oh i still have a couple more weeks until i know shes approved. and then its about another 3 months until she comes over"

Person X:"hey you've been saying that for a couple months now!"

Me:

gah. love it.
