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

CONGRATULATIONS FAITH!!! AND THE OTHER APPROVEES

Am I the only one left without a touch in 6 months? Guess I have cooties

Nope I am still around with no touches...no nothing........I am having one of those days again

Darn, I thought i was special I hear you, it feels kind of hopeless and endless ... but tomorrow I am calling my senator and asking for the inquiry. I hope at least they can get a real answer. I think I'll try the ombudsman's complaint form in Amrsnowangel's june filers thread too. I am not going to bother to call VSC right now - I can see them telling me there up to may 15 or something. YEAH RIGHT!

Touch me VSC!! I didn't mean it when I called you worthless slackers and %^%&*&&$#@!

Well they never listen to us any other time.....I am sure they did not here that either....Or when I said I hated the @#*&^%$##$%^ holes.......Hahahahah......Like I said before the only thing that is touching my petition is probably your petition...in some box on some idiots desk.......they lie alot

I am obviously not against immigration, I enthusiastically endorse it, for the people who want to come here and embrace a new way of life. When we visit our significant others countries, we do not go to their country and impose our culture on them. People who come here illegally, are many times imposing their culture on us. How many of your significant others speak a language other than english? Did any of them refuse to learn english when they come here? My guess is probably not, because they want to embrace a new life and a new culture. I am not seeing much of that behavior from the illegal population.

Who is imposing their culture? Are they forcing you to watch Telemundo or something?

I think what she means is that illegals come here and expect, nay, demand that you speak their language (often spanish) and don't bother learning English, or doing anything to really 'better' themselves while being here. (Which should be a tall order since they're here illegally anyway).

Our loved ones coming here legally...my assumption is all of them are more than willing to learn English and the "American Way" to live here, and that's the way it should be.

"demand" you speak their language? That's a new one, I find that funny. It's amazing how us as Americans can't adjust to foreigners, when in fact the rest of the world pleases us. I mean everywhere I go theres English speaking people, not to mention they also make signs in foreign countries that are in English.

Pace Skyrockets But Some Pre July Petitions Forgotten?

Here are the new VSC summary stats that reflect approvals dated through December 1st.

The projected number of processing days is based upon the number of open petitions divided by number of petitions approved per day for the various periods. As the approval rate changes, the projected processing time will change also. Perhaps dramatically. Please do not take the projections too seriously. However, projections may be useful in determining if your plans are realistic given the current rate of approvals.

Suggestions as to how to make the Summary Stat Report better are welcome.

I have something that I would like to see in your report Would it be possible to add another column in the VJ petition completion % metric that shows what the percentages were from the last report? I would like to compare the current % from last weeks % and with all the traffic that this thread gets, it takes me forever to find your previous report to compare. If it is difficult for you, just tell me to get off of my lazy butt

CONGRATULATIONS FAITH!!! AND THE OTHER APPROVEES

Am I the only one left without a touch in 6 months? Guess I have cooties

Nope I am still around with no touches...no nothing........I am having one of those days again

Darn, I thought i was special I hear you, it feels kind of hopeless and endless ... but tomorrow I am calling my senator and asking for the inquiry. I hope at least they can get a real answer. I think I'll try the ombudsman's complaint form in Amrsnowangel's june filers thread too. I am not going to bother to call VSC right now - I can see them telling me there up to may 15 or something. YEAH RIGHT!

Touch me VSC!! I didn't mean it when I called you worthless slackers and %^%&*&&$#@!

Well they never listen to us any other time.....I am sure they did not here that either....Or when I said I hated the @#*&^%$##$%^ holes.......Hahahahah......Like I said before the only thing that is touching my petition is probably your petition...in some box on some idiots desk.......they lie alot

I must say that I am heartened by the great pace but it is mighty dispiriting at the same time. Like you, I have not had any touches lately and, no doubt, my file lies with yours at the bottom of some guy's filing drawer next to a rotting apple and a copy of Maxim.

To all of you who have been recently approved - a hearty congratulations! Hopefully, we will have our time to dance too soon.

I must say, I wish I had taken part with all of you earlier. The support here is amazing. Unfortunately, I cannot write to the forums at work due to company policy but it sure is great to keep up with the daily developments and victories.

Times are tough for Sara and I but it is heartening to know that there are others of you who understand what we are feeling and stand with us whether or not you have already been approved.

BYRON!!!! THAT'S GREAT NEWS!!!!! WHAT A WAY TO CELEBRATE NEW YEARS!!!!!!! :dance: You see, I told you your interview was going to be on december but you and Bill said January!!! hehe! Well, it is actually one day before january...but is still december

Am I wrong or there were no approvals today????

[monagoz 2]

Congratulations faith!! Feeling a little better today? Have you laid to rest the jealousy monster?? Hahahaha :lol: Well, its very very good news! You know, I never thought they just skipped over your file or lost your file. Sure, VSC has issues with inconsistency, but to be honest I think you guys simply required extra background checks. Well, either way it's all behind you now.... :dance: :dance: Time to dance!!!! Good luck on the rest of your journey!

Well said, I hope so too!!

You know Oscar and I are really hurting too.....this is straining our relationship.....we are fussing at each other....and nitpicking the dumbest things.......But at the end of each day I tell him I Love Him and he calls me "mi bella esposa" and and I roll over in bed hug the pillow and sleep off the days stress and high anxiety......the problem being when I open my eyes in the morning wishing this is just been a bad dream it is not....so I call him in the morning to make the day seem better and I remember just why this struggle is so worth it in the end......Tamm......Te Amo Mucho Mas.........Oscar and Lora love each other very much......so take heart....be brave and hold tight......and remember why

I'll see what I can do. It is simple to come up with the figures but getting them into the table so that everything lays out nicely is nightmare. Unfortunately it is not as easy as modifying a spreadsheet and it takes a lot of trial and error before everything lines up properly.

I used to put a link to the last report but took it out for some reason that I don't remember. At the very least I will put it back. In the meantime, the easiest way to find an old report is to search for "summary" in the search box in the lower left hand corner of this page. That is how I find the old reports.
