Halle,

It's because the list is updated once a month (in general around the 15)

Sorry, what I am asking is WHAT exactly was updated? Because the processing timeframe for I-129F applications still says July 19, 2007? Given that we're now in 2008 and all.. :wacko:

Cheers

Halle

That date on the USCIS website (July 19th) means that supposedly CSC are working on I129F petitions that were submitted around that date. Of course we all know from VisaJourney that they are actually working on Aug-Sep right now. I believe that USCIS purposely puts a date that is at least a month behind what they are actually working on to prevent too many people from calling to check on their case status! If you do call them, they will apparently just tell you to be patient because they are 'still working on files submitted on July 19th...' and only call back when your case is outside that processing timeframe. Argh! I wouldn't pay much attention to what the USCIS website says - VisaJourney is the way to go...

I believe the site says that it was last updated on January 15. Also, theoretically, the "July 19" means that date is the oldest application they are still working on, but it is more likely what Meridien said (that they pick a date a month behind the bulk of the petitions they are working on) because I know there are a few earlier than that date that are still pending.

There have been quite a few approvals from CSC for people who filed at the end of September, which is encouraging to me since I filed at the beginning of October. BUT the late September filers getting approvals now are a bit faster than what seems to be average.

Oh, sorry, Halle. I just noticed you filed in Vermont. Vermont is faster than California. Although I think there are still some couples still waiting who filed in September and August there as well, they ARE already approving October filers at VSC. If you want to see the date USCIS gives for Vermont, you can change the service center before clicking the "check processing times" button. CSC is the default.

I hope we get our approval soon but since we filed at CSC, we probably have to wait...hopefully not too long though. This whole process is putting my patience to the test and I have a patience of a saint! LOL
