Waiting on the VSC to make a decision?

[greeneyedgirlfl 0]

Trinner, I can't for the life of me understand what the process might be like at VSC to see people getting approved in less than a months time while you, and others, sit waiting. Have you called anyone for assistance yet? I hope it comes soon.

fyi... I checked out a bunch of the timelines on your list. Many of those people have been approved but have not updated their timelines and some have just fallen off the face of the earth, well VJ anyway.

Well... it came today. I still can't believe, I keep expecting to wake up and realize that I'm still waiting.

I usually spend some time looking through the list and seeing if I notice that someone has posted that they were approved but haven't updated their timeline. I handle this in my program with a simple list of "special cases" that need to be tweaked. (Some slightly differently spelled duplicates, some I've seen have abandoned because of denial, some with incorrectly entered dates, etc.) As I notice these things, I add to this "exclusion/fix" list. (Currently maybe a dozen or so on this list.) But I admit, the last month, I've obsessed and looked for these problems mostly in the petitions before mine, not after. (if you see some i've missed - PM me, please.)

There are literally thousands of abandoned member profiles here on VJ. That really makes it difficult to get accurate info and averages, but it is very helpful when people make these charts.

This is why I added the idea of inactive profiles to the list generation. However, I've noticed that there are also a few user profiles that look to have a valid profile ID, but when you click on them, VJ just puts you back at the forum page. I'm guessing these are just no longer valid profiles for some reason? Anyway, now my program detects this, and just automatically counts those as inactive.

So... even though I normally wait until Sunday, I figured I'd do a celebratory list generation for the first list that I'm not on.

Here is the current list with the above functionality tweak:

p.s. Did I mention that I'm a little giddy from my approval?

p.s.2 WOW - 116 approvals in the last 30 days. Who woke up VSC??

PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!

.....THEN SHE SAID THIS....they are sending a CABLE to day and will have your case transfered to

Vancouver for you........I was so grateful I was in tears.....thanking her profusely for helping me......I got off the phone.....praising God and

crying.........I am so relived that she listened to me and didn't blow me off and that she kept working for those 10 minutes to see what could be

done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have know idea how to know when it will actually get to Vancouver.....but I am so grateful that it will be moved to the right place!!!!!!

Lora....I will be praying for a quick check on your application at the NVC.....maybe we will both have things picking up on our behalf!!!!!!

Congratulations! That is good news.

Although they are less than perfect, I have found that the people at DOS are the best ones to contact for information and assistance.

As far as checking on the transfer status, continue to call DOS. They will be able to tell you.

Umm... I guess I need to clean my house.

Trinner, from one programming 'geek' to another... I certainly understand the limitations of creating a script based on information dependent on others updating their timelines. You are to be commended for taking the time to provide this to your fellow VJ'ers! I just wanted to be sure you knew, for your own sanity, that they were moving along with their approvals and to maybe give you a glimpse of hope!

On that note, I wish that every person/couple who begin a timeline would have the courtesy to keep it updated for the sake of the rest of us.

Bill, BIG congratualations to you and Bella! Do you have travel plans yet? btw...still lovin all the links in your sig!

Congratulations trinner and Bill Y Bella

Thanks so much everyone........I feel like I am in some really bad novel and I am the long suffering character who can not seem to get it right or get a break.......I wish ....I wish...I wish I could stop what I feel like is whining and just hope for , be patient for and understand this process in my head and my heart but everyday seem no closer then the day before after 276 days of waiting.......If they could just tell me when or why.they need to continue processing a case that has been processed for 9 months now.......It would help but they say nothing but indefinate administrative processing.....My Congressman said if by next thursday we have heard nothing he would try again....God Bless Congressman Wolf....he seems to at least give a care about us......No one else in the government seems to........Lora

After so many bumps in the road to Oscar´s visa it is difficult to know how to offer you comfort. It seems so unfair that you are having such a difficult time. I know it must be extremely difficult for you now, but try to keep the following in mind. Anything that does not kill you will make you stronger. You two are going to have an extremely strong relationship when this is all over. And though it probably does not seem that way now, someday this will be all over!
