how is there only 2 cases for june 6th processed again... I was SURE theyd cut it down to 100 by end of day today - if they were putting in the effort this week to demolish june 1-june 6th the way they are cutting into 19th and  20th everyone in beg of june would have a notice by today. i almost want to do some extensive research on management in USCIS and call and start name dropping so they pull my case and approve in fear.  i know - not reasonable or logical but a girl can dream...

Aggred! I know they gotta move on and approve first “easy cases”, bug I’m sure there are “easy cases” among the over a hundred cases of June 6th.

yo through all your sarcasm i COMPLETELY relate. you already know, we are the same NOA1 day... i am trying not to be sarcastic but you and others are definitely speaking through me on this because i feel exactly the same way . its infuriating.  its so strange to feel innocent hope and crushing disappointment in the same day , every single day... over and over and over and over and over...... i don't know if i can visit my fiancé again until his POE so this is a weight that is becoming very real to me and growing more difficult. i never imagined it would be this long, not in my wildest dreams.  

I keep holding out hope that they will do to us what they did to the 12th. Just start getting through the big days. Now that more 19 and 20s are getting approved while early June waits it is bearing down on me like a weight. Now that we will be firmly in the 200s after today it really isn’t fun or funny anymore.

I'll tell you what's not fun...

Hangovers. 🤢🤒😴

 

I'd happily take a month of hangovers over 8+ months of waiting!!! 

(I sent Mr H all the paperwork in April, before people point out my NOA1 to me 😉)

I believe so.

My fiance is waiting right now for a callback from Tier 2, so the call centre edfinitely is.  I dont see why the adjudicators wouldn't be.

Hey John...

Like all of us here on VJ, I don't think it is fair at all for you to have been waiting so long for your approval.

I'm thinking now "IF" (and this could be a big IF) if the delay is because you have a K1/K2 visa?

Could that could be why there is such a delay in your processing?

I wonder how difficult it would be for us (at least all the June Filers) to try and "Chart or Graph" who's visa applications include a K2...

At the very least, it could shed some light on the tremendous delays that you and Rose are facing, as well as many others.

I'm June 28th so I have a long wait ahead of me...

According to the Q&A here with the former adjudicator, the K2 actually helps speed it up. The adjudicators like those because they get credit for multiple reviews while only looking at one petition. According to the adjudicator here, they like those because they are like extra credit for the adjudicators. Kids don’t add much to the review time as they generally don’t have criminal records to look into and with one 10 minute review they can get credit for multiple approvals. 

 

Maybe things have have changed but that is what was said here.

Okay... I remember you pointing that out to us and since things have really gone upside down at USCIS, I'm just grabbing at straws trying to make sense of anything that is happening Thanks John

I'm sure that things can change and it certainly doesn't seem like the K2s are helping me.  We may never really understand what is going on unless another former adjudicator shows up to talk to us.  The discussion here was from many years ago.

 

On a side note, my VJ timeline moved from December 11 to December 12...

Well, just a warning... I got mixed news from the Tier 2 agent (well my fiance did)...

The general opinion that RFEs get updated online... nope.  We have an RFE on the way sent 3 days ago, and online still shows "Received"...

I'm taking it as good news since at least the case has been touched, but yeah - not only approvals avoid online updating.

Dang! USCIS is in total chaos! I think I'm gonna stop hoping for them to fix things up. I'll just sit here in one corner and wait without any expectations. They gave us enough trouble already but they seem to have stored a lot more in their bags. Geez!

Sorry to hear that and that you have to find out by phone/mail. It’s the law of s.o.d. that it happens to the man doing the scans.

I have been waiting the same exact time as him... and the other 130 June 6 NOA1's--- we all have different cases.  I have no K2.. mine is cut and dry. if I get and RFE its just for a signature I forgot to do on my additional paperwork listing my jobs for the last 5 years, or that I didn't submit 2 photos of each of us (cant recall if I did or not) and these are EASY RFE reasons....  there is no reason we are waiting this long based on case-specific information... its a general wait time for all of us. they keep ignoring the 6th as a whole...
