Don't do it. They'll upset you and you'll end up getting in trouble for telling them how wonderful they are.

All you need is a modest house in a modest neighborhood

In a modest town where honest people dwell

Dear Lord hear my prayer.

We are being very patient and I know I got my NOA2 ages ago but Lord, my mind will not rest until my peeps in the black hole of VSC have climbed out from under the dust that covers their petitions.

Dear Lord, some divine intervention would be very much appreciated for all the folks at VSC. Special shout out to: Mel and Syl, Mirla, Steph, Bill, Faith, Julez, Zainab.

What what!!!

Ameen.

Amen....

Not just for us Dear God, but for the workers working our petitions, that you may guide them in thier work. Help them sense the urgency, to feel our pain our desire to be united with loved ones. Give them the wisdom to adjudicate timely and with justice and fairness.

Amen

Amrssnowangel, and all of you from June, I think you have a right to be upset. Being a July filer, I honestly am thrilled that they are working July, but I can only imagine what I'll feel like if I start to see August being done and I'm still sitting here. Just a couple people with dates after me have been approved and it makes me feel like, HEY! what about mine? Did you forget mine? So it's okay... we are all happy that Vermont is working and happy to see people get approved... but yeah, it would be nice if they went in order like they said they do. Then we wouldn't have to worry about getting passed up. It just causes more stress! :blink:

I dont mind someone 2 weeks past mine...but we are now talking a full MONTH difference..I dont care WHERE my file WAS...it was THEIR job to keep track, organize it and manage the amount of work flow. They were ill prepared, mismanaged.

Im TRILLED that those that are approved ARE approved...I really am..but yeah...I do think...umm...what about mine??? Hellooo?? Anyone working on it today?? LOL..

STATISTICS I PULLED:

OF JUNE FILERS 64% OF THOSE FILED HAVE BEEN APPROVED

OF JULY FILERS 37% HAVE BEEN APPROVED WHICH IM HAPPY FOR.....

THAT MEANS THAT 36% ARE STILL WAITING ON WORD OF THEIR PETITIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOWEVER....Does anyone else find it odd that 36% of June filers are still waiting for word on their petitions while VSC is currently starting to work the last half of July?? Am I off base? To wonder why July filers were being approved BEFORE my JUNE file ever was assigned???? Does this information back up the USCIS's commitment of processing first come first served? Am I alone in feeling this is very very unfair..and that the mismanagement of this system has caused tons of heartaches?

Im contacting my senators office today to get answers......

Well, as a fellow June filer, I agree :P

I was thinking about writing my congressmen today or tomorrow. I just have a feeling we've been lost on some vacationer's desk or something. Who knows.

I created a spreadsheet I intend to use..showing the noa1 dates and noa2 dates of all those filers from june/july and ALL those approved that filed aug/sept/oct as well. To SHOW them that Im not making up numbers. That REAL people are WAITING. I want them to SEE that if MY file just hit a desk on Nov 21, HOW did others a MONTH after my noa1 get out onto the floor to be worked???? Im happy to email you a copy if you'd like it.

Here is my theory of what is going on:

Since we have no idea how they process petitions, other than the fact that they put them in boxes and on a shelf somewhere, it is possible that they dont date code label those boxes. They are probably labeled something like "june 129F petitions". There would be 10-15 boxes labeled that way, and when an adjudicator goes over to the shelf, he/she has no idea if they are getting petitions from late June or early June. They are just grabbing a June box off of the shelf because they dont see any April or May boxes. All the June boxes might be on adjudicators desks so some adjudicators, after completing their June box go to the shelf and the only thing left is July, so they are starting to work that.

We also know that, with the large influx of petitions that they had, some were being stored in semi trailers in the parking lot. Chances are that adjudicators are not going to the semi trailers to pull files. There is probably some contractor who is responsible for going to the trailer, finding all the May, June, July boxes and bringing them into the building. My guess is that the contractor missed a box or two of May and June petitions and that is why VSC "found" a box of petitions. It was buried in a place it wasnt supposed to be or it was just flat missed.

Plus the fact that we know there are a lot of vacations going on right now, and if the adjudicator has already ordered name checks on a particular case, they probably cant scan it back into the system, put it back into the box and onto the shelf for the other adjudicators to work on. From what I read in Huskerkievs accounts of the process, I believe that to be true. So, you end up with some petitions on someones desk who is not there, and probably only management has the authority to go over there and complete that case. And we all know how hard it is to get GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT to do anything remotely resembling work.

We have to remember that in normal time, it would be two days of work for a person to adjudicate 1 box of petitions, however, in government time it is probably closer to two weeks.

I just noticed your timeline...you JUST filed in SEPTEMBER....Wait .... just see how you feel about this process and coming up with excuses for their poor management. I agree...with alot of what you say...but I find it NOT to be a good excuse. This isn't a credit card payment...its PEOPLES LIVES....

Whoa! Easy now! I am simply presenting a theory. I personally think this whole system is F'd up, and I know you have to be stressed now, and I am too. Until they get you guys cleared out, I have to continue to wait. I have already been calling customer service, writing officials, participating in the chocolate drop, all that stuff. i am pissed too. Just take a breath and calm down a little. My post is not an inditement of you or what you are going thru.
