Is the VSC on Vacation this month?
I was thinking the V no longer stands for Vermont because it now stands for Vacaction!
Back in September and October of 2011 it was a 2 to 3 month average.
Now the waiting time has more than doubled!!
Vermont Service Center: 2 to 3 months average no more! |

When we filed Status on this website was 83 days, that made me happy to be in VSC.....
Past 2months (From 10th April till today) VSC is with January Files.....
However looking at the Statistics I thought CSC is logest wait time, but i did notice 15th Feb 2012 File been approved for CR-1.....the Statistics are not correct.....
Please some1 give a wake up call for VSC.....

When i called on March 19th and asked what Vermont was working on, they told me Jan 1, 2012. So thats more than 2 months that they've supposedly been working on "JANUARY" cases :/
Back before we filed it was about 3-3.5 average for Vermont. It's definitely slowed down a lot since then and CSC is speeding up it seems.
I hope too that they get back on track soon!

There is no such thing as a slower and faster service center. One year ago, everyone wanted to end up as CSC, cause it was "the fast one." Then in the fall and early spring, filers at CSC wetre waiting 6 - 8 months while VSC filers were getting approvals in 3 months. It all depends, one is faster than the other for a while, then the other is faster.

Since the begining of 2012, the Vermont Service Center has slowed down the NAO2 approvals.
The best month for the VSC to file was in the Fall of 2011.
and at this time the CSC is a faster service center

Very true. Seems like the best time to file at one service center is when it's at its slowest. They're always bound to make up their backlogs sooner or later.
