Don't worry too much about being touched. According to what I've read, your file gets touched when it gets to someones desk. Most times it is approved in minutes or if they get a hit on your name for some reason it goes to another department. Even if there is a hit, I think it would be approved soon. Of course that is how I understand the process.

By the way for all you VSC filers, there was a 10/17 & 10/21 approvals on the 13th. I'm hoping they are getting closer to us late October filers. We'll see :whistle:

Yes, I agree. There are a lot of older filers still waiting. I'm not sure why that is. I've seen several late Aug. filers coming through CSC, so hopefully it won't be much longer for you all there. I know that some people get hits on their names, but I'm sure you'd have a touch if that happened. I have a suspicion that I may have a hit on mine because of my dad (Long story). Anyway, I think February for everyone from VSC, but we'll see what happens. I'm trying to be very optimistic....lol

I don't understand why CSC isn't pushing anything through. . . it makes no sense, holidays are over and everything should be full speed ahead at both service centers. . . but it goes back to my theory on CSC they are letting everything pile up and then gonna hit tons of people with approvals. . .

There is a system in place. I wore a uniform for this system once and everything makes perfect sense to me.

We were always trying to get united or reunited with our loved ones! (We were kept for extended periods of time away from them for reasons unknown to us… probably testing our patience or getting us toughened up)

We stood in long lines and did lot of ‘hurry up and wait’ there too. We busied ourselves with massive amounts of paper work in triplicate.

Also, if we spoke Korean, we were sent to Germany. If we spoke German, we were sent to Panama. If we were electrical engineers we were sent to language school.

So, if you file a K-1 and live in Michigan, it is most logical to send your application to California. If you live in Texas, you would naturally assume it should go to Vermont after they close the Texas facility to K-1’s.

Congrats to those getting approvals! :thumbs::)

May we all be united with our loved ones soon… and hopefully we are all standing in the correct line! :unsure:

I hope we see some CSC action this week and month. Eli the date is just an estimation, since there are no approvals from CSC or people aren't updating their timelines or the people who aren getting approved from CSC aren't members of VJ. I think it is 10-20% of all filers are on VJ. The computer takes recent info to come up with your estimate. So, if we start seeing approval, the date will move. I hear you though cuz it sucks to see it get pushed farther out.
