I just got off the phone with the USCIS because i needed to make an address change for my fiancee. i did the RFE trick and it transferred me to an officer at Vermont!!! i made my change (she also told me to check with the NVC to make sure the change sticks) and chit chatted with the lady (very nice) and she confirmed that her processing report says that they are currently working Late june/early july petitions now. She also was way off base about how long the process takes once it hits NVC. She said 30 days and no problem plenty of time for checking with them after the approval. See below for their response.

OsLoraTamm, it is time for you to get jiggy with the cust service folks. They are blowing mega smoke to you now!

I also just got off the phone with the NVC 9the USCIS told me I should call them after my approval to make sure the change gets recorded because they are the ones setting up all that kind of stuff for the consulate) I wanted to find out how much time I would have once my approval came thru to talk to them about the change of address. She told me I needed to be ON THE STICK. She said that they are turning out all K1's in a matter of days and I needed to get with them as soon as I knew about the approval or it would be too late. This pretty much confirms what we already know about their processing times.

..... on the stick?

Sorry, its an Oklahomanism. It means the same as on the ball

1-800-375-5283, 1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 1, case number, 1, 1.

Those cats always make me laugh. They are just so crazy looking!!

Congratulations Diana and Alan!!!

Only 2 approvals this week? I hate this.

Actually there have been 5 so far this week and 33 for the month. We always want more but it compares favorably to what we were seeing a few months ago. In September for instance there were 9 approvals for the entire month. Now that was something to hate.

This week is slower than the past few weeks but hopefully things will pick up again soon.

Does anyone know the ref trick .......I really do have a change of address and Virgillionaire and Ric and I are all in the same situation with this......It is like they forgot us.......If I can only get someone to listen to us .......

OK. Here is one more.

Hey Lora, let me know if u are able to change his address that way. My SO also moved and from what I read on some threads u have to wait til case is at NVC and call them to change it ...

Anywhooo, I don't think they forgot us, they just don't give a hoot that they are going out of order. They found mine when mine when my senator's staffer called, it's just Officer Molasses is taking his sweet time getting to it. I'm thinking slowpoke will finish ours in the next two weeks

Thank you Bill & bella and MKCT! Our RFE was about hard copy of divorcing decree from previous marriage.


Thank you Jason-Sasha!

Hey guys......Does anyone know if I use the rfe trick and I am told that the adjudacator at that site is not available and then wants to transfer me to customer service I stop it both times that was happening.......am I suppose to allow them to transfer me there?????

Lora,

When I called yesterday, i just punched the numbers in for the RFE trick and a recorded voice came on and said (we are now tranfering you to an officer in Vermont) click, then a short pause, probably 30 seconds, then a lady came on the line. I would not let them transfer you to cust. service. You are going to get nowhere with them. Keep trying until the live person comes on the line using the RFE trick. I think you are going to have better luck there.

Hello VJ family ! Thank you for the support!! After 175 long days .. after delay of the rfe .. WE GOT APPROVED TODAY ! I admit last days and weeks were very hard for me but finally it is done! We wish to all get approved very soon .. here is a song for all of you

O.K........I just talk to a NICE lady at VSC.....she said the petition has been with a case wroker since November 1.......and was then transfered on November 17 to someone else......and it has been with them ever since.....she said she was unsure why it still has not been worker on......I told her it appeared that they were working cases in July and she would send a note to the floor to ask but was not able to report her response from them but she said it may stimulate something......she said about 1/3 of the case workers are OUT OF THE OFFICE on leave this time of year but she does see I am outside of the service target goal........but??????....................nothing......well Virgil Ric and I are probably together with a on leave ajudicator...........AUGH......NOW WHAT.......I AM GOING A LITTLE CRAZY.........OOOPs........I do not want to be back in the hospital......I have not had aproblem since I got out of there......so I am trying to only be a little upset........thanks guys....Lora

I would think that if adjudicators are out on leave they would transfer their cases to someone who was actually there working. It does not make any sense that they would keep some people in limbo while letting others get by

At least you know it is with an adjudicator Lora. Hopefully it means that your approval is coming soon.

I know....I am trying to think that way........but positive is hard with these waits....193 days is a long time with not a peep from them......

We're gonna get it! (before Christmas!!.. i can dream. i just really don't want to go to yet another family gathering having to say I don't know. Thanksgiving was bad enough) I'm just trying to keep myself distracted. I've been getting into the Christmas spirit and santa-ing and baking and keeping busy. It'll be here one day!
