CSC Slowdown!

[AJ911 1]

Starting to get a little frustrated now. Received NOA1 2-6-07 and nothing yet. No touches, nothing! I did call the service center Friday after reading about all the delays. Talked to a really nice girl (Stacy) just to make sure no RFE's had been issued or I had missed anything. She seemed to be really straight forward and basically admitted that the processing has slowed down considerably with all the immigration reform going on. Actually she probably told me more than she was supposed to.

Anyway just looking at some of the stats posted by other members on here at VJ and less than 55% of Feb. filers have received NOA2. We're at 104 days and counting and with the holiday thrown in next week I don't think processing is going to speed up at all. They haven't even updated the processing times on their website since 4-18!

I can definately see processing times extending out to 120 or 130 days! Sorry to disappoint any March or April filers but you still have alot of people ahead of you. Hopefully this week we'll hear something but you know Friday they'll be out of there early for the holiday weekend and won't be back until Tuesday!

Wish us good luck and hopefully everyone gets approved quickly. I was going to write my Senator but there are even Jan filers who have not been approved yet so I figured why waste the time.

Come on USCIS, speed it up!!

Gee thanks for the Pep talk Seriously, Immigration Reform has NOTHING to do with it. It hasn't been passed in the Senate, and then it still has to go to the house. It will be debated in both places, and the house sounds like a tough place to get it through.

Inspite of the spin on reform, it will still take time to go into effect after the president signs it (normally 90 days). So, hang in there, your's is coming soon.

Well, there is that CSC glitch to think about....you know the one where they're forgetting to tell people that they've actually been approved? I swear, a large percentage of the people who have been approved in the last week or so only found out they were approved because they called CSC. Their electronic system is all screwy....not to mention a bunch of people recently who still haven't gotten an NOA1. Perhaps the wonderful visa stat lists that some of the really awesome members of VJ compile for us (out of the kindness of their hearts) haven't been updated to reflect the new approvals yet? (PS Thank you Fwaguy and Kengumbo, your lists are my security blanket!!)

It's coming. considering I'm an april flier, i really don't want to read something that's telling me i'm going to have wait any longer than i need to. So I will continue to believe that CSC is working at it's usual snail pace, and not a snail moving up hill in a black hole pace.

You're absolutely correct. Since FWAGUY is now in Ukraine and will not return until the 27th we will continue to live in mystery (or misery I guess). But I'll be interested in seeing the numbers for last week. They are working them, and they will continue to do so. Keeping things in perspective, the members that went through IMBRA hell last year had it a lot worse. There is no dark cloud hanging above our heads here gang, it is just part of the "ebb & flow" effect of a overwhelmed system/mailrooms from the H1-B Visas in early April, I think that is pretty clear now.

Hey! I just checked my timeline and it went BACKWARDS one day!

It's really not hard to do the timeline on your own. Just look at the timeline search. The most recently updated go to the top of the list. Also look out for those who have touches in the last 2 weeks, they might be caught in the glitch issue.

Lets not flame someone for being upset at getting passed by! It feels so aweful seeing people with NOA1 dates 3 weeks after yours with an approval and you feel left behind. You can be happy for them, but at the end of the day, we just want to be with our loved one!

I don't think anyone was flaming anyone.

No one was saying "get over it," or "you're not entitled to your feelings." I was merely trying to offer some perspective on why it might look like CSC was slowing down, when in actuality, it might not be.
