I am through Vermont too. I have no idea what's going on.
Most people in the forum Immigrate2US.net are filing I-601's. I am sure some are through Vermont. You might try checking there. http://www.immigrate2us.net/forum/portal.php
I am doing a 601 through Vermont.....mine was filed in January 2005
and I am still waiting.....so much for the 30 to 90 days processing time they
listed on the receipt....do go over to immigrate2us.net
there are a few of us over there who filed waivers through Vermont

If you go check your receipt you will see the 30/90 day thing has been removed or it has on mine,but you can actually get through to Vermont and speak to someone there about your case,my wife did this for me and was told that I should hear something from them in 2 weeks.........................although Im not holding my breath 
There is no direct phone number where you can contact Vermont, they give the customer service number as a contact...the customer service center is merely a call center. My congressman's office has been in constant contact with Vermont in regards to my case since last July....we have been handed every excuse in the book....the latest being on May 23 that my file was with the clerical section for the decision to be typed and mailed. Haven't seen a damn thing yet.....
you have not posted your timeline so I am a little curious as to why you filed the I-601 with Vermont if you are immigrating from the UK. Vermont only processes Canadian Waivers....waivers for the UK are processed at the Embassy in London. Have you had an interview for your K-3 yet??

here is his timeline == attached to mine === we were married in Canada and when neither of you are from the county you are married in you are required to go through the country of marriage ===

Char, I have a quick question for you and I hope you don't mind me asking you, but in your timeline I didn't see the reason for your 601 waiver, so why did you have to file one. My husband and I had to file one for an over stay and we too are having a hard time getting any answers from Montreal or Vermont. We had our senator contact Montreal but they just got the run around. Finding it really difficult understanding the length it's taking any organization to review the waiver. I'm also frustrated by the fact that all the emails that I send go un answered. I'm really starting to hate all this waiting.

mine is also for an overstay...I see in your timeline that the Embassy would not accept your waiver....why the h ell not....you can use the reciept # from your waiver to track you case on the online case status....you will get nothing out of Montreal......have your Senator contact Vermont....they are the ones making the decision and holding the file. Once the waiver is processed then it gets sent back to Montreal.

the latest news on my case is that the file was touched on May 18th and again on the 19th...Vermont emailed my congressman's office on May 23rd and stated that my waiver was in the clerical section for the decision to be typed and mailed.....so far we have nothing....nothing online case status and nothing in the mail....contacted congressman's office yesterday to have them contact Vermont and hopefully at least tell us what the decision is.
If you have not checked out www.immigrate2us.net
it is worth going over and reading the I-601 forum there are a few Canadians over there and everyone updates on any news out of Vermont.
take care and good luck

Char, I read your story and laughed with you and cryed with you thru it --- U do have a captivating way of writing --- As for us, about a month ago I paid 10.00 to have a hand delivered letter sent to my Senator from Washington State --- I received a letter hand signed by her on Friday requesting that I sign an authorization form to act on our behalf to get more information on the waiver situation. I have just written an attachment letter with our story and added your story at the end of ours so she can see how messed up it is for folks like you out there and that others have suffered and continue to suffer. My hope was that she might take the issue up a bit higher to try and expose how messed up and inconsistent the whole immigration process is --- talk about a waste of taxpayers money - I do think that it would be a good idea (of course after we get the waivers) to write a magazine editor or newspaper reporter and see if we can use our stories to give this mess a bit of exposure.
ktmmansgal,
My congressman contacted the Director of the Vermont Service Center a few times and got nowhere....he then wrote the Director of USCIS in Washington in April and it was only then we got some action in May...we still do not know if they lost my security checks or they allowed to expire as they were done back in August 2005 the FBI confirmed this in Sept 2005. I hope your Senator is able to help you...keep me posted

Here is the deal, originally we were pretty optimistic and still have a bit of that hope of things moving along --- I think that hope keeps you sane and helps us from just buying into the anger that you so easily can buildup when dealing with all this mess -- SO -- the other night it just hit me, it has been nearly 3 months since I have seen my husband and I can't wait any longer --- so I just said the heck with paying off some of these bills with a bonus I will be getting soon --- I am going to be with my husband --- That by far will do more for each of us and as I see its an investment in Us --- you see all this really drains on a couple and I dont want to let it put our relationship in a holding pattern --- So, Off I go to England on March 6th --- I am so excited about seeing him that I think I will just hang on and not let go for for the whole week I am there.
