what's exactly the difference

[B'sA 0]

Does anybody know why the difference of the processing times at different cervice centers so significant?

Is it because some ofthem are getting much more petitions or it's something else?

Just wondering...

(specifically the CSC prognoses for I-129 are a month or two longer than the VSC)

It's a mystery!!!

CSC is larger than VSC and CSC has more adjudicators, however VSC has newer systems. Processing has a lot of factors involved, so can and do vary by quite a lot.

it's the subject of much study, and in fact there has been a call for papers on the issue

submissions so far have included speculation on whether it has to do with:

- whether there's an R in the month

- the phase of the moon / state of the tides / possibly both

- something about birds flying south for winter

- an 83 year old woman called Edna, who lives in Florida; if she wins at bingo there are approvals that day

- a magic dog (one of the more out-there theories)

- a 'lucky dip' type arrangement, where all the files are thrown into a central pool, and then USCIS employees use one of those crane things like you see at funfairs to grab one out

if you have any thoughts on the matter, the deadline for submissions is April 1

I thought it was because when they call in sick there is more to do at the beach than i Vermont.
