VSC - New processing dates 130/129F for Feb 2009

[Dave 'n' Hai Au 0]

Hi to our fellow VJ'ers,

I am feeling guilty after reading these posts. We filed only I-130 for cr-1. Our NOA1 was Dec. 24, 2008 and we just recieved our approval Feb. 19, 2009. I was not looking at USCIS too much because our projected approval time was late May-mid June. Maybe we will get a payback and be mired at NVC. This whole thing makes no sense, everything seems so random. We pray for success for everyone so we all can be together with our SO's soon. Some posts and surveys I have read recently at this site leave me speechless. Survey question: Is it ok to cheat on your SO while you wait for the visa? Because of stupidity like that, honest people here pay the price with these long wait times. The government is inefficient enough and then they have to try and weed out these clowns. Sorry for the rant but it irritates the hell out of me. I am asking for some help from someone that reads this. Some people in earlier posts mentioned about shortcuts in NVC proccess. I don't recall seeing or reading about them. Could someone please guide me to where they are? Thanks in advance.

God bless and good luck to all !!

Congrats to you for the quick I-130 approval! Here is a link to one of the NVC shortcuts http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/...he_NVC_ShortCut. It seems pretty straightforward, and I'm sure there are a ton of people here who can help you out if you have questions.

I know what you mean and totally agree about how everything seems so random regarding when things are approved. It really is mind boggling, isn't it? I'm just hoping that I'm one of the lucky ones who gets a quick approval, but I am of course trying to prepare myself for a long wait. And I also agree with the madness in some of the posts and polls here. In my time reading this site, I feel like I've been introduced to a whole different world.

you are filed at the CSC. I think you are pretty much within the NORM.

Those of us at the VSC have been rotting away for months.
