This is the first I've seen someone getting yelled at for calling the RFE line. I think my response would have been "if USCIS would provide me with a status update line, I'd be happy to use it. But this is the only way I can speak with an actual human being."

Don't worry about it. They can't take any action against you, and it won't affect your approval.

Just an idea but you can go to www.editgrid.com and get an online spreadsheet that everyone can access (when it works!) - it is how we have our July Filer spreadsheet online :)

Stop filling people with the false information that VSC is infinitely better than CSC. I filed in July and haven't heard anything. There are still filers from May who haven't had a touch.

VSC was better than CSC, but that's not the case anymore.

Just an idea but you can go to www.editgrid.com and get an online spreadsheet that everyone can access (when it works!) - it is how we have our July Filer spreadsheet online :)

the july spreadsheet is for CSC and VSC. you can find it in the signature of Jeraly and Weedebz. Go to the July filers thread and look for one of their posts. then click the link in their signature. If you want to be added to the list, Pm either Jeraly or Weedebz your info.

Thank you, Tars. Nice to see so many Vermont people are starting to get their NOA2s. Even if CSC is so much slower, I think that is quicker than predicted for VSC so it gives me some hope that we will get ours sooner than predicted as well.

Wow, that sucks, I'm sorry to hear you've been waiting so long. It looks like VSC is really inconsistent in their approvals - some October filers have been approved already, while others from months earlier still wait. If they keep this up, I suppose this could mean that some of the VSC October filers could be left in the cold for many more months, too. I hope not for their sake.

At least CSC is consistent in it's slowness...I'm not sure that's a good thing... :wacko:
