Still Waiting for CSC

[snowfrostedlashes 0]

I admit it can be very hard sometimes to sympathise with people who complain of a two or three month wait, but I just have to remind myself that people who have been waiting a lot longer are often very gracious and to take cues from them.

*nods* Once people hit the six-month mark I really start feeling for them, but until then I think people need to be patient. Obviously that is more difficult in cases where there is illness in the family or a pregnancy in progress, but even so... I think that getting stressed only hurts you in the long-run, so I think people need to be as calm as possible and focus on productive things that they can do like ensuring they are prepared for the stages following NOA2 so as to avoid further delay.

This is difficult though, especially when your significant other is feeling very down and anxious about the wait, but I too am taking my cues from the more patient members and am resolved to remain positive until I have reason to feel otherwise (e.g. if I become one of the unlucky ones that goes over six months).

Obviously, they have reduced the number of people processing K1's. Why this is happening is not known. At the current rate, I'm expecting at least a 12 month wait for my NOA2.

I mentioned in a previous thread that we should pool together and put a little pressure on the CSC. But, the members here remind me of the 3 monkey's.... see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. They don't want the stress involved in contacting the USCIS. Better to just close their eyes and wait.

Tomorrow, I have the day off. I'm planning to call the USCIS and try to find out what is happening. I'll start at the bottom of the ranks and speak with the Customer Service Rep. If I get stonewalled by them, I'll try to talk to a supervisor and then a manager. I expect this will not be easy, but I think I have the right to know what is happening. The USCIS is there to perform a service for us... the taxpayers who pay their salaries.

You guys are MUCH more patient than me...four months, and I become a raving lunatic....

We aren't patient by choice. We wait because it's the only thing we can do.

I'm guessing their pushing the H's thru and have pulled people off K1's for a month or two.

me, too. i am hoping that this means they'll push Ks through at some point, too.

Someone posted a theory in my Wake Up CSC thread that it has more to do with the website problems. It generally takes two-three weeks for people to get NOA2s in the mail. We started hearing about the USCIS website going on the fritz about the same time that the numbers suddenly dropped, that was about two or three weeks ago. So, in theory, if the USCIS website stopped being updated that would mean that people won't know that they were approved until the NOA2 arrives, which as previously stated, could take two-three weeks. Hopefully *crosses fingers* we'll start seeing a sudden increase in approvals in the next week as all of those theoretical NOA2s that have been done since the website went down arrive via snail-mail.

I'm keeping my hopes up because otherwise I'll go crazy...er.

I admit the system is very frustrating and unfair!!! Sara called yesterday and was told 1 month....My SO called yesterday and was told a few days and to call back in 1 week if nothing. Sara filed 2 months before me ....so where is the logic ??????? Do they just make up replies as they go ?? Is there any truth in what they say ?? i really wonder

well as for ur case and mine.........i think they are just about ready to finish the processing of it and hand out the noa2........but they never gonna tell us ..........so it is up to the person that answers what time frame they give us to call back......i really wish just once we could get someone that would really tell us what is going on.......did they forget us or misplace us in a box when all those applications came flying in last year and they just trying to cover their mmmm butts lol......ours are k1 visa dont take a rocket scientist to look yep they met with in the last two years yep they have pics yep they have proof of the meeting and yep they are both legally free to marry and yep the petitioner is usa citizen theres their passport copy to prove it........i think even my 14 year old brother could do that...........sorry im ticked off today at csc

^I wish you luck Steve. I've tried to speak with someone other than the customer reps when I call and was told , no I can't speak to an officer, they're "adjudicating". I have waited almost 6 months since filing, was sent an RFE for a paper I already sent , waited almost 3 weeks for them to post my received RFE to my case and resume processing, and was told on Tuesday it could be another 30-45 days for them to make a decision. What? unbelieveable! I assumed if they send an RFE the case has pretty much been looked at and they are missing one last bit before approval....30-45 days more? I am soooo mad...but feel like I am forced to do nothing, because nothing can be done....

...as for the theory that the CSC website isn't being updated....my update for receipt of RFE was added on April 9 and I was touched on the 16th because of a phone call....
