I have a strong feeling you are right. this is the last week. These people get audited and have to stay on a month to month goals. I feel faith in God that our petitions will be getting answers allot this week. again remember they did a fee increase so they are working very strongly to get people approved. also there butts are in the spotlight. many people are complaining of their performance being very bad for May and June. I feel we will see a bunch of approvals this whole week. :thumbs:

Let's keep praying!!! I wanna see my NOA2 this week!!! VSC!!!! Did you read that......THIS WEEK!!!!! :P

Otherwise you know what happens: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

Watch out!!! hahaha!

Just something to think about... I spoke with my lawyer for a while today talking about everything that I have learned from here and just the process in general. He said that it is possible that different centers update their progress differently, so maybe VSC is processing things but not updating online? Or CSC has a different method of reporting? Who knows with the way USCIS, nothing seems to be consistent.

GOOD LUCK!

Hi soch,

I got touched on the 19th and the 20th, but it still said our case was pending. There were so many approvals on those days with similar timelines to ours, so I decided to call and see if I was one of them. I called CSC on the 21st using the RFE trick and they told me we were approved! Hopefully you will get yours soon too :)

Hi Guys,

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but I want to keep it real for everyone. As you all can see by my timeline it took about 142 days for our approval and I do know how tough the wait is...and by the looks of things, that unfortunately seems to be the norm now. Also I want you guys to know that when I spoke to an officer to confirm our approval on 09/24 she told me that it would be 30-45 working days before NVC received our case and not to bother calling...yeah right!!!...now that used to take about a week and now is supposedly up to 6-9 weeks!!! :crying:

I will let you guys know how accurate this info is as time passes and I have more news. :thumbs:

I agree that thinking about being patient may help some calm down, but for many, every day and every night without their loved one seems like an eternity...especially when we have seen zero VJers get a HOA 2 out of VSC in a week. Sometimes patience just allows others to abuse you. There comes a point where we take action and at least attempt to be heard. The service is unacceptable, period. Sure USCIS can set a 6 month processing goal and they can say "calm down, you are still not over the 6mo goal." But heck, with proper management, staff, and attitudes, they could have set that goal at 3 mo. They could also change it to 8mo, 10mo, 12mo whatever they feel and we are just supposed to be patient and do nothing. Not me...my letters and phone calls may fall on blind eyes, but like many others have done lately...mine have been sent to Governement and media officials.

I have a feeling NONE of the nformation they give is accurate. So I think your information will reach NVC before 30 days. They give themselves this cushion so that they are not bothered with calls. I hate them! :angry: Sorry, I am having a bad waitng day!

I know the pain and frustration of this long, craptacular process is making people waiting for approvals miserable. I know it sucks but I also know that those of us who have been approved have all of you in our prayers.

That's why we want to keep all the May filers together in this thread no matter their progress so that we can cheer each other on :)

We are family :P

And to VSC and CSC....we need some more approvals!!!!!!!
