Waiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?

[Aaron_WSU 0]

I called today and this layd told me VSC is currently processing April 17 apps...I guess around that time, I just wonder why they don't shwo it on the website....

My guess is she took today's date and subtracted 6 months.

I am trying to remember if I ever saw a post where a customer service rep told a member something useful and accurate. It seems to me they either refuse to help, recite USCIS policy or provide information that turns out to be incorrect.

Based on what I have seen so far, I think calling them is usually a waste of time.

Exactly. I believe calling them does more harm than help.

shes just repeating to you what your online case status says "Pending Approval" i dont mean to sound pessimistic but those people were sooo rude when i called - all they said to me was "you have to check your status online dont call"

hahaa

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! Today was one of those days!!!!!

Jeez, VSC is killing us here...CSC had some more approvals today (which by the way I am very happy for them as even waiting since June is too long). They are obviously working June at CSC as the last 8 of 10 have been June NOA1 dates. It makes no sense what-so-ever, the CSC web site shows April 12, 2007 as though that is what they are working, which is more than 6 months ago. VSC shows 6 months, which should technically be better, but their service is certainly not bearing it out. I am burnt out on this all...goodnight all. May tomorrow be a better day...

All most all of the recent approvals at CSC are May filers, even though they have a June NOA1 date.

Sorry for the bad spelling on my last post. I could not correct it.

CSC is kicking VSC's butt soooooooo bad!

CSC/NSC/TSC K1/K3 approvals this week so far = 19 and rising.

VSC = 1

I am happy for CSC, but come on VSC! Give us back our adjudicators!

I too agree that calling the service centers does no good at all. I'm always afraid that I will piss off the wrong person and suffer the consequences. Kinda like being too much of bother at a fastfood spot. I'm always worried that my tasty burger will come with extras. But I suppose I will change my mind about this when i hit the 150 day mark.

even the graph with the pretty coloured lines is showing VSC right in amongst all the others; they've been down below for SO long

I guess you can maybe take heart that it's not ABOVE the others, but I know that's cold comfort... I'm sorry

I wish, when I was celebrating the CSC approvals, I didn't feel so guilty about VSC being stuck in such a bloody rut these days

hopefully, we'll rebound

I know this wait is hard on everyone..lets keep positive. VCS is working....remember....we have far fewer petitions filed (on VJ) than CSC...so if we only have 25% of their approvals, we are on track. Its not how MANY CSC approves...its the percentage in relation to over all petitions filed we need to watch.

CSC in the last 6 months took in 481 K1 Petitions. While VCS took in only 130. We have only hold 27% of the total visas filed in the 2 centers....soooo

in the month of October they've had 49 approvals. VCS has had 7. So the percentage of our approvals compared to theirs is almost 15%. A bit behind but not by much....only 7 or so petition difference. Bearing in mind..MOST of those CSC'ers approved sent their petitions IN May and waited longer for noa1...so even if noa1 is JUNE..they waited since MAY for this just like some of us here...hang in there...it will turn around soon.

I agree

Do to the backlog at VSC, can't they send their K1/K3 visas to CSC? Didn't they send a lot of visas to the Vermont Service Center when they were backed up?

By the way, I also agree calling the service center is a complete waste of time. The reps have no idea what they are talking about and it just pisses me off more.

....

I just called and went clicked through to the RFE through the menu this morning and got transferred to a VSC officer. Of course, I played the "Well.. it's been 5 months now, I can't help but think you must have sent out an RFE and I just never got it..."

He went away for 5 LONG minutes.

He came back and said "Actually, we will be sending out something soon... an approval notice. You should get it in a few days."

To be quite honest, I don't want to get my hopes up... but I hope to gawd he's not pulling my leg. I told him "Thank you so much and have a great morning!" Maybe I should have said "a PRODUCTIVE morning" for pumping out those NOA2's.

If this sincere voice was bullshitting me, I will have lost all hope in the system.

Wow. That is a new one. I am sure hoping it turns out to be true!

I know it's so hard to be optimistic at this point, but they're not messing with you. Go out, celebrate, do something crazy. You are as good as approved. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

Hey!

I saw that some of you were wondering about why we got approved so fast . And i can only answer...I have no idea! My fiance is not in the military, we didn't send any nude pics , we didn't contact a congressman. Actually we did nothing exept waiting. And we were also prepared for a much longer waiting.

I can only explain it that we maybe had a very good organized petition, a lot of proofs and we both had no "complications" in our past, like previous marriages, children, a lot of relocations and so on. Or maybe we just had luck .

And ja, you are also right that everything is in the moment very fast for us. I have already received the pack 3 from the embassy in Germany.

I hope this helps a little bit!

I really wish you all that you will get approved soon as well! I know how frustrating it is .

Congratulations!
