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

[*julez* 124]

I know you're kidding. I suppose I'm just a bit oversensitive. I've been posting here for a year now and I thought since both service centers are equally terrible these days that all the hard feelings would be over.

Its all good! I'll bring graham crackers and cocolate bars to add to your marshmallows - then we can make s'mores!!!!

It was GREAT to see all the approvals yesterday in the May filers thread!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would have been even better had they been approved through Vermont!

When I hear things like you're at 113 days, I feel really bad. I'm "only" at day 50. Feels like at this rate we'll never get approved. *sigh*

there are no hard feelings HERE; never have been; never will

(at least: not based on who's at which service centre, which is completely out of our hands anyway )

go the 'smores! I'd also like to bring a huge jar of Nutella, and those great milkshake spoons with the really long handles, so we can eat til we're sick

It used to be really ugly! When a VSCer would post an approval thread a lot of CSCers would jump down their throats for it, since getting a quick approval apparently meant that they weren't allowed to share their joy. It used to p*ss me off.

may as well eat junk food till we're sick. Not much else to do while we wait!

oh really? I never saw any of that...

I can see why it would be frustrating to those waiting twice as long, but it's hardly fair to begrudge someone else some happiness... oh well; time is a great leveller; whatever else is ####### about this extended delay (ie: everything ), at least it's brought us all together; united in our scorn of the USCIS

and love of 'smores

oh, you must know I was joking; I put in a winky n'evryfing

it's just particularly fascinating to me; I was so pleased when I found that I could file directly at VSC, under the new rules, then so gutted (not to mention confusled) when it was sent on to CSC, and now I'm just bemused and trying to be Zen in my calm acceptance of whatever happens next

I'm all up for a love fest though; I'll bring the marshmallows

You're supposed to bring marshmallows to a love fest? I usually bring cool whip and glow in the dark paint.

I am new in the process, only sent the packet in to VSC last week, but I thought I would call the USCIS and see if I could find out what the hold up is. Needless to say, I got an idiot on the phone, but he did do some checking. He told me that the VSC got flooded with a lot of other types of requests, and when I say other I mean other than I-129F. He said that they were almost thru with the backlog and adjudicators would soon be working on our stuff again. I had to get a little hot with him to get this info and I basically told him that the VSC adjudication times had increased by over 100% but I paid $455 dollars, an increase of over 200% which was supposed to help lower processing times by 20% but VSC was going the wrong way and CSC had held steady. I told him I know that they are working on things other than I-129F's and I wanted to know when the backlog was going to be cleared and when they were going to get back on track helping the US citizens who pay thier salaries. He said he thinks by the middle of the month they will be back on track and cranking out more than the measly 4 approvals per week we have been seeing.

Take all this with a grain of salt because like I said, I got the distinct impression that he was an idiot.

An idiot that works for USCIS I don't believe it!!!

Anyway, I really do hope they will start picking up the pace soon. At both service centers. This is toal BS and we're all sick of it. OK, rant over.

You may be new but I nominate you for the position of head interrogator! I like the way you handle a public servant!

He may be an idiot but what he told you is very consistent with my delay theory so I kind of like the guy!

Let's hope he is right. The middle of the month is not far away!

Yes, let's hope for some more NOA2 issued this week - - - or the end of the month - - or anytime - - I am with you amrsnowangel though - need to remain positive and optimistic and I am known for my positive spins - - and also agree that the waiting is frustrating and this process appears to be so cumbersome - - lets hope for good news for all of us soon...

Well, day 113 for me is about to come to an end with no NOA2....tomorrow is another day..hope the middle of the month clearing is true!!
