from what I have seen that is way to long for VSC.... I think you should start calling them.... I think you can

do that after 180 days... Thats the longest Ive ever seen out of VSC...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......well 190 days has come and gone since VSC recieved our petition........I am just plian worn out now.......I had hoped for Christmas together then New Years.....well how about MLK birthday or Valentine's Day.....This is so retarded.....How can this be the land of the free....I feel far from free at this point....I am a hostage of ineptness.....of disregard for my rights.....of just lack of compassion for what this is doing to our lives....Mine, Oscar's and every single other person who has to endure this agony.......So tomorrow I start again with the fight....the phone calls...the emails.....but I am so close to just loosing my mind now........I wish I could travel to Peru....(medical reasons) or Oscar could come here to visit us...but of course he was denied a tourist visa......protecting American against the "vile" person who I love.......THIS IS A BUNCH OF B*LLSH*T........

U know i was reading a post, on a related thread i think, where someone was describing the process for Canadians. It seemed like when ur ready u just bring them to Canada, no worries!!! Weird it seems so sensible.

Sure there would be a lot of phony engagements, but when they are turning a blind eye to millions crossing the border anyway it's BS to give our fiance(e)'s the third degree. maybe cap it at two or three, but it doesn't need to be so arduous. And the expense is ridiculous. Aos is like $1000 not including EAD and fingerprints, more medical, etc. and ur separated so long u need to visit so airfare's a killer.

BTW since u can't get help til 30 days after the six months, isn't it really a 7 month commitment. Of course when u call they'll say 'ok now wait 60 days will get back to you.'

So I'm not fighting it anymore, it's like when the doctor snaps on that rubber glove - just tell me when your done vsc :o

I am with you.....I would rather have a colonoscopy while awake then to ever do this again........I have yet to figure out why our government has the right to deny me my happiness......I have parents.....I do not need the government to perform that function.......I have the ACLU looking into this for me.....Even after I get this all done...I think I want to stick it to them just because I feel like it.......but in the mean time I am like you....they have us hostage......by the way I got lost in Catonville Maryland once......I was trying to get to BWI...hahahahaha...on my way to Peru....one of my 6 trips there........You are right this is not a cheap endeavor....Anyway...since it looks like everyone has abandoned us I guess it is just the First 2 weeks of June people left on this thread now......I keep getting yaked at on the other thread about being negative.....Oh well bite me.....I know ours will be worked someday but in the mean time this sucks....Hang in there Virgil.........Lora

O.K......What the he!! at end of August filer.........I am just blown away now..........OMG........this sucks :crying:

Hey Lora, you must be mistaken. I just called and the lady said they are only up to May 19.

And before that I had called customer service and they even said I was outside vsc commit times and tried to start an inquiry but the computer forced her to transfer to vsc, Officer Roy? I think (rhymes with Doy).

So what are we supposed to do? We are over 6 months, and outside commit time, and they won't even admit it! Meanwhile they move on to august. Really bizarre. I downloaded the ombudsman complaint form DHS-7001 today. It takes 45 days, but I have a feeling this is all going to take a while, yikes!

Hey Virgil, I did make a mistake.....I filed too early.......So what did Officer Roy tell you?......I got nothing from the immigration office in Fairfax....they can not help me....sent me packing today......I do not know I just feel like the smallest most insignificant person in the world......I hate them

Well as soon as Officer Doy (a female) came back from having me on hold to check on something she said well they are only up to May 19 ... I cut her off and said website says 6 months and dozens of July filers approved on vj. Once she said that I didn't need to hear another word out of her mouth so I pointed out those stats, said have a nice day and hung up.

I'll try the RFE trick tomorrow and at least try to change the address. The customer service rep claimed they don't do that at vsc. Why do they keep telling us these things we know are not true?

There doesn't seem to be any help for us. Even my senator's staffer seemed to blow me off and just get me that note where it says it is with an adjudicator. Wow, big help, customer service clowns can tell me that! I'm doing the ombudsman complaint but that will probably only help a little to let him know about problems in general and not help my specific case.

Oh well, I wonder when they will change the May 19 date? Maybe they'll just reuse it come next may:(

First NOA received June 7, 2007. Silence since then. Who can beat that?

Acc to the CSC processing times as of Nov. 14, 2007, they're up to I-129Fs received April 29th, 2007. So using that logic, by now they should be up to I-129Fs received May 29, 2007. They should be working on mine by December 20ish?

I still can't call the 1800 to inquire on our status because they'll tell me, "Acc. to the processing timeline on the website, we're only working on I-129Fs received by April 29, 2007."

What should I do? Just...wait?

Actually, mine has been silent since June 6, I win!

But, seriously I called the 800 number today as if I had a question about an rfe so I could speak with an adjudicator. At first she tried to push me to the no-help customer service line, but eventually admitted they are well into processing july and said she shows the update of processing times of december 14 showing 6 months. (though website still has november 14 update).

Maybe try calling using this 'rfe trick' to get some real answers, but you still might have to wait the 30 days BEYOND 6 months to file a service request ...

I called using rfe trick and the officer shows an update from december 14! and it's still 6 months but not on the website?! She changed my SO's address for me - funny I was told they didn't do that by customer nonservice. She gave me no hint that she was surprised that cases two months behind us are getting approved. Basically, it's like oh well, you're SOL.

I still can't file service inquiry but she said the case is 'under review' and I should hear something 'soon.' So I guess I better start looking for that cris email ... in february

Guess I'll check the other thread now, see if there are any september approvals
