I don't know if there is a topic for March VSC filers. But it would be nice to know if anyone who has their application at VSC got an approval. I have called VSC today and spoke with a live person, only to find out that my case is still pending. His tone was very good, and he tried his best to give me explanations on why cases might take a long time to be processed. I didn't want to hear all that, but I was polite to listen because he was polite on the phone as well. Anyhow, if you got an approval please post it since we are all in the same boat. I think the last person who got an approval from VSC (4/30/2007) was "damian" if I am not wrong.

I am on the same boat as well.

How did you call VSC?? you have there Number?? all I new that the number given on the NOA is the number of general customer service and I have called them, they only speak like robot reading out loud whatever they were told to do and give the same information that you can find on web. There was absolutely no help from them so far. To tell you honestly it is waste of time calling the USCIS

Customer Service at (800) 375-5283. Any of you including "Besnik" know the Vermont Center's No please post it, I will highly appreciate that.

Any way good luck to everyone...

I called 1-800-375-5283 as SumonLopa described. However, the agent claimed "he searched for my file on their database". All I wanted to know is if I had an RFE or an Approval and the online system didn't show it. I believe I pressed 1 for English and 2 for RFE, I didn't type my receipt number and was connected to a live person.

I don't know the number of VSC directly.

I am in the same boat.....

Your timeline is almost the same as mine ... lets hope for the best, if we don't get the approval this week. Maybe Tuesday!!!

Touched today !!! :dance::dance:

Thats great news ............................. I predict you will get your approval tomorrow. Lets hope they are back on track and give all of us our approvals soon.

I am confused as to whether I am a March or April filer. We filed the I-130 in March in Vermont and the I-120F in April in Chicago. Our case was transferred to California on May 4th and touched on May 8th. I heard a lot of cases appear to have been transferred to California but I don't know how they decide which ones. I am in Vancouver and my husband is in Seattle.

I believe you will be considered an April filer for the I-129F pettition. I don't know if VSC is overwhelmed with applications at this point of time, but it seems like that, because they tend to be faster than they are being right now.

I seriously doubt that they will be working this weekend. They are going to closed Monday for the holiday as well. Tuesday is when we can start hoping for approvals. May God help us all during this journey.

Sigh, i'm feeling really really really down about the VSC right now. I have had no touches since April 26th and it has been a whole month :( while others who are in the same batch as i am seem to at least have their files looked at.

Is there any logic to how they process the files?

My biggest fear is that someone looked at it and it fell behind the desk/box to a dusty, hidden corner somewhere and is now covered with spider webs or is nesting material for mice at the VSC!!..lol..

I look at my USCIS account with hope, but turn away dissapointed every darn time! Its happening until i am dreading even going to the site..

Does anyone who submitted in Mar to Vermont have ANY good news that they are still alive and not waiting for the immigration reforms to take place before they work on the files!

DARN IT VERMONT!! TOuch ME ALREADY!!!!!...grrrr...
