Dear God, Please tap someone on the shoulder and have them look at Mirla's papers and send her (or Patrick) the NOA2. She's starting to become delerious. And she was so cute when the most exciting thing in her email box was a notice from SEARS. Amen.

Hang in there, girl. Its coming.

Hahaha :lol: I agree... I believe she's gonna be in NY before me... :P

I don't get it.

  1. Byrun gets an RFE because his attorney screwed up again.
  2. Mirla is told that she only needs to wait a few more weeks which if it is true means that she could be the first of the group to hit the 6 month mark.
  3. There have been only 3 VSC approvals in the last 7 days. 2 of those were expedited mid and late September submittals while early May filers are still waiting.
  4. VSC can't even do the email and hard copy notifications properly when there is a rare approval.
  5. Based on the VSC approval pace over the last 7, 15, 30 & 60 days the best case projection for how long it will take from today to finish each month's petitions is 51 days for May, 132 days for June and 280 days for July.
But we are waving pom poms and yelling gooooooooo VSC? :wacko: Members are posting that they are sure that so and so will have their approval any day now? Based on what? The power of positive thinking and the pom pom to change VSC policy? :goofy:

Call me negative. I don't care. When there is good news out of VSC I will be as positive as anyone else. In the meantime the reality is that VSC is doing a terrible job for us and unless they change soon most of us will be waiting a very long time for our approvals. :clock:

Please don't get me wrong. I am hopeful. I hope that Mirla is approved today and I hope that Byrun's RFE does not delay his processing by more than a few days. I hope that VSC gives us back our adjudicators very soon. I hope that May filers are all approved by the end of the month and I hope that June filers follow soon after. I also hope that I am not missing too much as my baby girl grows and learns every day while she is 5,000 miles away. I hope that my fiance's son is not becoming too old for us to form a close father/son relationship as we wait for VSC to finish processing petitions for employment visas. I hope I do not go bankrupt buying airline tickets so that we can be together as often as possible. I hope that Bella does not ask me tonight how much longer it will be because I do not want to see the tears in her eyes when I tell her that it looks like it might be a very long time.

I hope all of these things and many more. Unfortunately I am not sure of any of it because what I observe at VSC is not encouraging.

Hopefully things will improve soon. In the meantime, whenever I see those pom poms I find myself wishing VJ had a machine gun emoticon. :devil:

There's nothing wrong with keeping it real Bill y Bella. But, as you know, others feel better by trying to stay positive and cheering VSC on. I'm OK with both ways of coping. The waiting sucks for all of us, since we all have different worries and concerns and needs for this process going by faster.

What really upsets me is no more lists from bszoom. I had hope you'd have picked up where he left off!! I know there isn't much progress to report, but I still loved those lists!!!

Thanks for your wishes Bill....! It won't hurt to be a little more positive about all this. I'm sure we all have our realistic side but most of us rather go for the positive road......it's hard but we try.....

I also hope the same thing for Byron!

What really upsets me is no more lists from bszoom. I had hope you'd have picked up where he left off!! I know there isn't much progress to report, but I still loved those lists!!!

Unfortunately I have no idea how to mine the data in an automated manner the way bszoom does. I would be glad to do it if he shows me how. I sent him a message on something else a week or two ago but he never responded. His profile says he has not been on the site since the 14th.

I do post the summary data once a week which I think provides an impartial big picture view of what is going on at VSC. There is usually very little response so I assume most people here don't think it is worth doing. I know it is kind of gloomy, but it is an accurate reflection of VSC's pace of approvals and how many petitions are in the timeline. As long as VSC maintains its current pace the summary stats are going to look real bad.
