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

With the holidays coming up, processing could either slow down because of the Immigration Bastards taking vacations

They aren´t bastards and everyone is entitled for their time off. They are just doing their job.

We like to consider this a nice and friendly thread and no need for beeing nasty...

Position acknowledged. However, my opinion will remain unchanged even if the unnice/unfriendly/nasty word may not again appear here. This divergence must be the result of the difference between 138-day approval and 182+++? days of ongoing deflection, excuses, hostility, stonewalling, and outright misinformation toward customers (not only me) on the part of people who are allegedly "just doing their jobs."

On the other hand, as I optimistically posed yesterday, perhaps there will be a year-end push to process as many more files as possible. Postings on the "CSC Sweepstakes" thread could ultimately reveal the answer.

I too forsee a pre holiday rush. No-one likes returning to a desk full of work. Hopefully there will be lots of people with approvals in their stockings.

I would like my packet 3 under the tree......... Please Visa Angel I've been a very good girl!!!

Note, too, that you guys filed 4 days after me, and you already happily have your K-1 visa in hand (183 days). Tomorrow will be Day 183 for me, and I don't know whether my file is actually being looked at or whether the two recent touches merely mean that it's been shifted from one rotting pile to another. Because the USCIS Case Status Online page flatly states "We process files in the order we receive them," and because they obviously are not processed in order, do I and others, as customers, have no right to comment on the truthfulness and capabilities of liars or (at best) incompetents?

This is not meant to begin a pissing-match, but merely to elucidate my reluctant conclusions on the basis of facts observed and first-hand treatment received.

Down off soapbox.

I can't stand this waiting. Maybe I'll make that appt for the local office the last guy I talked to was pushing.. anyone else do that?

Yes they more or less process it in the order received. The speed also depends on how many checks each petition has to go through cuz some of them can get approved in 15 mins when nothing is missing and everything is ok and some might be stuck in security checks for weeks if you happen to be unlucky and have a similar name with someone that raises a flag. Also depends on how they take the batches off the pile and when they take the batch if u are on top or on the bottom....lotsa things

It might take forever for you to get your appointment, and they could simply parrot the same scanty information that you already know. It will be interesting to hear from those who have been through this step.

But I suggest you get help from your polititians if you haven´t tried that yet

I posted on this topic a couple months ago.

I still believe the majority of USCIS workers are just plain trying to get through the day and pay the bills the best they can. They are no nicer or nastier than your average ** sapiens, although as I said in my post, the government is not very good about determining who should work in customer service and who should not.

The nasty ones are always going to stir up more passion and anger than the nice ones. In fact, if you notice when someone posts a "I talked to a nice lady who said..." the followup discussion is always focused on the information provided. But the posts that say "I talked to the rudest man..." always focus on how rude the CS people are, how they're toying with people's lives, etc etc. As I see it, they just can't win. And I'm sure they have *tons* of stories about the rude petitioners who call and demand answers they simply don't have, threaten to call their congressman, etc etc. It can't be easy to be one of these customer service people, and I can see where someone working within that broken system could become jaded very fast.

Circle of life and all that. :\

So based on all those things, they are NOT processed in order.
