Waiting on the VSC to make a decision?

[ric 0]

Eh, I"m okay. I'm so far passed expectations that its moved onto funny. Laughing about it is the only option you have that won't turn you prematurely grey anyway.

I just wanted to figure out when I could at least put in a service inquiry as to what the holdup was.

Thanks!!

I was told by a customer service rep. that you had to be 60 days past receiving any correspondence from VSC and 30 days past the 6 month period....

I am thinking Charlene that means.......don't call us will call you........

Congratulations to all recent approvals and visas!

Faith, I am so happy you are being moved along and wish for you a speedy consulate process!

Lora, I think of you every day. Stay strong. It's coming.

I first posted here at visa journey back in September when my SO was denied entry back into the US on the VWP. It was many of you who answered my questions and set us on the path that we're on now. The waiting. Thank you all again for taking the time to answer a newbie's questions during a very difficult time. Since then I have come back every day to check on the progress of your petitions as I educate myself on the process. For some reason I felt drawn to your previous VSC thread and have followed this one since it's start.

As it stands now, Russell has been back in New Zealand for 4 months. I finally (after more than 2 years) had my court date for my divorce in December and we will be able to file for our K1 in April when it's final. Yes, I will be overnighting to VSC the very day I receive my decree! Things are moving along for us but it will be some time before Russell can come back home. Happily, I am travelling to NZ a week from Monday to spend 3 weeks with my love. My mother (whom the tickets were a gift from) will be joining me so that she can meet his family and see the BEAUTIFUL country he is from. I cant wait!

I am utterly disgusted by this entire process and my heart goes out to each and every one of you still waiting to be with the one you love. I'm sure you feel for anyone that has to endure this but it certainly can not be easy to watch as others who filed so much later be approved.

The real reason I posted.... selfishly, I want to thank you for being such a strong voice in this process and working so hard to make the changes because I am one of those people who will be filing in the months to come and I am hoping beyond hope that the VSC straightens up before then! If there is anything us lurkers can do for any one of you waiting please feel free to ask.

My best to each of you. I'll be watching.

I dont know if I will get in trouble for saying this, but with the way that VSC is processing petitions right now, I would consider filing RIGHT NOW!!!! Leave your divorce decree out and you will get an RFE. If you send your petition now, it will probably be mid May before they look at it, you would have the RFE by the end of May and probably be approved by the end of June. If you wait until April, it will be probably mid August before your approval. You will save 2 months on the process from now, even with the RFE.

Busted, Bobalouie.

According to the post, her divorce will be FINAL in April. You cannot file an I-129F unless you are free to marry at the time of filing. It's a horrible requirement, but basically it means that she would receive the RFE, she'd send in her decree, and then they'd see that she was not free to marry at the time of filing and reject her petition. $455 out the window. Unfortunately she's going to have to wait until April. Unless I read it wrong.

Hi all,

Some movement (congrats to recent approvals!), but obviously not enough. Sigh...

Nice job with the lists, thanks!

Seems like you have some computer skills ... myabe you'd be interested in hacking the vsc computers for a special mission??

Hehe... don't think I haven't considered it...

I'm glad you find the lists useful. I'm a lonely software engineer whose woman is far, far away...

VSC, thanks for approving another July-filer and letting October wait for a short while!

When we sent our application to VSC in July, I can't believe that I had ever thought I'd already be in the US by the end of 2007...what a funny and pious hope that was!

It is nice to see July but let's see all the May, June, and July filiers approved!
