OK now I just had to tell my better half about CSC........He never comes on here to check,so he didn't know yet just HOW slow CSC is at the moment........
He's VERY upset......
I absolutley can't understand why in the world they're not doing their job.....
Ya right let's Increase the Fee's ,process the I 129F's at only two Service Centers instead of 5 and make ppl wait to be reunited with their loved ones........
Not hard to tell how fed up I am huh?
And I'm even one of the lucky ones cause my embassy in Frankfurt is really fast and at least we wont have to wait several months for an Interview Date,but hey what the heck?????
We thought we could get married May 17th...........guess that aint gonna happen.....
Does CSC care about their Customers?! Nope,they just want our money!!!!! I can't say why it's called California SERVICE Center as in my opinion THERE IS no SERVICE!

Well then...an average of 0.67 CSC approvals per day for the week so far. That's gotta be some kind of record.
So here's my Top 10 list of guesses as to why the CSC have stopped approving our petitions [...]
1. They hate gorillas. It's all my fault.

Half-right, Mox -- it's because you never provided the rooster months ago, as requested. Bunnies & gorillas, si man, but you out-chickened regarding the correct critter.

9. The CSC New Years Eve Party was a killer. Seriously, they're all dead.
8. It's "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" marathon days at CSC. 7 seasons of kick-azz slayage in glorious surround sound.
7. They're all refusing to work until President Bush replaces Hannah Montana in his Top 8 on Myspace with CSC.
6. Entire CSC staff caught in Groundhog Day time warp, unable to escape until they discover the true meaning of "to blave."
5. CSC playing hide and seek with manager who must count to 10 million.
4. Entire CSC evacuated. Somebody reported not seeing a Ninja in the break room, and everyone knows that Ninja's are invisible, so it must be true.
3. They're holding out for more Hershey's Kisses.
2. It's ALWAYS Beer-30 somewhere in the world.
And the number one reason CSC have stopped approving our petitions:

Agreed. And as the poster implied, keep your sense of humor. If you give in to the bitterness, it will consume you.
The grocery store story was funny, and I have to admit I've had similar analogies enter my mind. Stuck in traffic and seeing that other lane that's going faster...so I jump in that lane and it immediately comes to a stop while the previous lane starts moving again.
Oh, and I just have to ask: Where the heck did everyone go?!?! I just saw a tumbleweed blow by...
Oh we are here - just way too p1ssed off to write - we slipped back to April 1st estimate today - ironic date or what!!! So when we applied it said February 28th - now it's a full 33 days later and that summer move to the USA looks more distant every day!!!

I know what you mean. I slipped to March 13 from my date of February 10 when I first filed. My SO has been operating under the assumption that our interview will be in the Spring. I mean, we all know that it's not good to make plans around this process, but I wouldn't have thought a 4 month window would be too much of a stretch. But I see that Moscow are starting to schedule interviews for March, so...yeah...unless something happens soon it doesn't look like a Spring reunion for us.

Thanks! It was one of those days where you either laugh or cry, and I need to keep up that manly image I've worked so hard to build.
If this happened here in the UK it would be headline news and documentary producers all over it for sheer government incompetence. It's hard to comprehend how any government agency anywhere in the world - let alone the most powerful country on earth - can double the fee for a process and subsequently have that process take twice as long as normal. It boggles the mind!!!
And incidentally, if any of you are thinking over popping over to see your SO from the EU then do so while you still can. Have a look at this ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7190788.stm.

Yours has got to be right around the corner. The one good thing I can say about CSC right now is that unlike VSC the (very few) approvals that are coming through seem to be in order. So you're close. VERY close!
As many others have said, it's the uncertainty and lack of helpful communication that makes this process so difficult.
A bit more information from USCIS would certainly help relieve the tension for everyone who has gone past the six month mark.

No, but there was one slightly embarrased Ninja when he very unstealthily tripped over a mop bucket just as he was getting into deadly striking position. Fortunately the CSC staff were too engrossed in "Buffy" to notice.
Haha - I find I am sat at work refreshing in the morning then when I get real busy in the afternoon everyone appears... starting to think I smell or something...
@Mox - will chase Jeremy up to make a nice page for me to put the top 10 on then I'll pretty it up or something... actually I don't even need to do that... I'll upload it as an image file then link directly to that - result! You can link to it then from your siggie or something if you want - I am running out of space in mine - have too many links and dunno which ones to cut!!
@Eli - remember that your projected date will jump a TON if someone who has been waiting ages has been approved - if they just approved someone who has been waiting since May then the average number of days is going to skew completely It's not an exact science - weedebz got approved 3 weeks before her projected date... mine was pretty spot on though
In some good news - I got approved for an Amez card today - not sure when my credit limit is yet on it as I only got the pin number but figured they wouldn't send me that without a card to follow so...

I don't think they exist...
would you beLIEVE that at my staff Christmas party, while talking with a group of at LEAST ten people, different genders, a range of ages, a couple of nationalities, I made a PB reference and NO ONE got it! I looked incredulous and said it was the Princess Bride, and none of them had even HEARD of it, let alone seen it... then they got all smarmy and said as I was in the minority it must just be a little-known thing
buncha eejits
Haha - I must say I had never heard of it until Jeremy enlightened me... but then he never heard of Labyrinth so...

Heard of David Letterman but not sure what "style" that would be (bearing in mind things can be kinda abstract... any pics or links to gimme some ideas?!?!
Hmm, here's an example: http://youtube.com/watch?v=3_c6921tBK4 . (if you're a Hillary h8'er, give this a pass.) I'm kinda liking the oriental gorilla thing better.
And while I'm linking Top 10's, this one is just too funny not to share: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pCnjuJ1pbmc .

Uh, Mox, girlies are tasty. I used to be really bugged about kissing chicks who wore lipstick, until a buddy pointed out that "it tastes female." And, y'know what? Si, man.
When I'm around girls...just like when I'm around alcohol...my IQ drops precipitously.

Um, yeah. There's really no excuse for that kind of ignorance. It should be mandatory for everyone to know at least once PB quote and use it regularly. Anybody want a peanut?
Oh dear - I am afraid I could get evicted from this thread for not knowing any PB quotes
On another note - I am looking up David Letterman top ten pics - nothing seems to be in a high enough res that I could use it though so if you come across anything then I am sure I could work with that In the meantime I might just stick to the gorilla idea

no more rhymes now, I mean it!
I have the distinction of having seen the PB the year it came out
and yes, I've been a fan for THAT LONG
