Another September filer approved...congratulations Sarah and Jesse from South Africa...

This is all I have seen so far today...

as far as I've understood from her post panamania's lawyer (May filer,NOA1 in July) got an RFE today. I just saw one of her posts in another thread....

That stinks...but at least they have heard something..maybe things will pick up for them now...

I cannot believe there are 9 May applications pending!!!!!! this is fuckin ridiculous!!!!

Could it be they haven't come back to update their time lines? When was the last time they were online?

There are a few May filers left out there, but about 3 weeks or so ago I combed through the May and June filers still waiting, and it did seem like a lot of them were inactive. I think you're right, there are some filers who never bothered to update their timelines for whatever reason. So I would really only count May filers who are actively posting as "real" filers.

Here's what I found out about the pending May filers... it looks like only two of them have been active in January:

May has 9 of 72 pending (87.5% complete), with 2 NOA2s in the last 30 days.

Not that it is a big deal, but I realized I had a small bug with the list generation... if someone had created multiple identical timelines (I assume accidentally) and only listed their NOA2 on one of them, the other would still appear in the waiting list. Accounting for this, there are 5 total less pending: 2 in May, 1 in June, and 2 in October.

So again - it isn't great that there are any, but I think that there are actually only 7 pending in May instead of 9 in the timeline system right now. (And probably only 2 of those are currently active members.)

And even though it is meaningless (since it doesn't mean that VSC is clearing any faster), I was happy to see my name move a quick 5 slots up the list.

I was approved on the 18th.

:D CONGRATS! :D

I am on my way to Peru to see Oscar for the first time since June...........I still have heard nothing from VSC on the RFE.......been since Jan 7th since they recieved it........I hope by the time I get back next Tuesday we will know something.....It will be 230 days or 8 months on the 30th.......I am so very tired of being ignored by them but they hold all the card.....Oh well at least I will be able to look into Oscar's eyes and tell him how much I love him and how sorry I am that my government is so inept.......see ya guys

Happy and safe trip, Lora... I very much hope you can put the current pain of this stupid situation behind you for a while and just be lost in the joy of the one you love.

I emailed a couple of people who sent in in July to see if they had just failed to update their timeline....

Erin and Koska (Greece...July 30) received theirs in Dec. and had not updated but have now...

That puts those who sent in in July down to 23.

I just may have to call the VSC again out of pure FRUSTRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emailing them was a great idea, Charlene! All of this is so frustrating...have you called VSC today?

I called the National number yesterday because its been seven months AFTER June 18th, and they said that they're currently processing May 18 - June 18. So, there's no inquiry for anybody in those dates, even though its been nearly eight months.

Boo, guys. BOO.

(used RFE trick)

Rep asked for receipt number.

They said that they received it on July 27th and it is still processing. Since they are only processing petitions from June 18, I should expect about another month.

When I said that I was concerned because they are processing October petitions, she replied, "Nope, it's still just sitting there."

I got yelled at for using the RFE trick this morning. . . I was just being curious and trying to see what info I could find out. . .the first thing out of this lady's mouth was this is not a status update phone line. . or something like that. . .

So she did not say anything about why Sept. and Oct. are being processed in advance of those left in July????

Does that not seem strange to them???? Are we the only normal people that can see this is ludicrous!!!!!!

No I will not call to be told this bunch of bunk!!!!!!!!

[AnewKINDofFEELIN 0]

I really don't feel bad for it. It is absurd that they can't offer true support to people who have been waiting WAY too long. May was 8 months ago. There are many people getting approvals in 3 months now. Those people that have waited too long and deserve genuine answers.

So she did not say anything about why Sept. and Oct. are being processed in advance of those left in July????

Nope, she dodged the question like a politician.

I got one response so far saying that they received their NOA2 in Dec. and had not updated but did so yesterday...

I went back and looked at those that their applications were received in July by VSC and their NOA1 was received by them by the

end of Sept. ( did this because some people were delayed..but they go by the date that it was received at the VSC.)

Anyway...I actually counted 26 that are still waiting...however there are probably some that have not updated their timelines...

Maybe I will here from the others I emailed (about 5 others)...
