CONGRATS on the 2 most recent approvals: Sienna & MusicGirl!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing feels better than to get that CRIS email saying approved!!

This has been a great week for CSC after a long dry period......keep up the good work CSC!!!!!! And I pray VSC is going to wrap up their own dry spell next week by flooding out the NOA2's just like CSC did this week!! :dance: That one intense distilled drop of overwhelming joy that happened when we got our NOA 2 last night went a long way to erasing the pain of the past 5 months of WAITING. Thank God we are all as far in this hard (but worthy) journey as we are!!! Soon we will be with our loves. :yes:

Seems really quiet on here tonight. :blink: I was hoping to hear alot of celebrating going on. Come on USCIS you were on a roll!!

Has anyone else noticed that their VJ timeline has moved foward by one day everyday this week. What's up with that? It also appears that the USCIS timeline has done the same. :wacko:

I just found out this. This guys spoke in person with USCIS...

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=88311

"As i asked him questions about the process, he finally told me that they are backed up for two reasons, which I found to be the most interesting information he gave me. Everyone knows they more or less stopped processing petitions due to the fee increase in July resulting in a massive influx of petitions, they had a lot of the officers pulled off their normal adjudications and help with filing, data entry, and initial reviews checking the petitions for accuracy, correct filing fees and procedures, etc. But also he said that they stopped processing petitions in May/June during the height of the immigration debate and pending legislation in Congress to overhaul USCIS. Evidently, they didn't want to waste time or resources working on any new cases if Congress was going to change the processing and rules in midstream"

....I was also thinking....why do they ask for RFE!!! Whatelse they want to see besides all the proof you send with your app...aren't you free to marry whoever you want...??? :wacko:

Wow, this is disappointing. I expected to get on here today and see a bunch of approvals. It is this yo-yo effect of approvals then no approvals that really stresses you out. I really thought I saw a glimmer of light at the end of this long tunnel. Why can't USCIS just be consistent? :blink:

How hard is it to reassign people back to processing applications? It is not like they have to evacuate a whole city. Anyone else starting to feel like they are sinking in quicksand because of this unpredictable wait? :help:

Thanks for the post Mirla! Interesting and EXTREMELY frustrating at the same time. At least we know that there actually is a reason for the sudden stop... if that reason is comforting or not I do not know. Weekends are hard for me too, especially because no one at USCIS is working. Ughhh. But hey, we are all in this together, sucks that we are all so frustrated but we aren't the only ones. I still have hope they will get through the majority of May before Sept ends!!!!! Come on USCIS!

NOA 1- May 25, 2007

Hey Bazookis,

Looks like our timelines are very close. I am still hoping the majority of May filers will be approved before this month is over also. The hope and excitement on here was palpable after all the approvals were posted on Wednesday and Thursday. Now it is back to the endless waiting game.
