I complained about this big time last year on this board. I was told that in 2006 VSC was much faster. All you can do is wait.

It'll happen.

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

They have been doing that for the last year for CR-1/IR-1 visas. I haven't seen any K visas get transferred.

That is a fact. When I started my K-1 I was going thru CSC and VSC was smoking their doors off. Now that I'm doing our I-751 thru VSC, CSC is the one cranking out applications. Now that my case was transferred to CSC... NOTHING!!! :protest:

I just sent mine to Vermont. So it's all in God's hand now. Nothing to do but wait for the day in which me and my loved one are together again.

PEACE.......

When you love someone from the bottom of your heart; so much that you are willing to give your life for your loved one, time and distance takes a backseat. Only love prevails. And with love in you hearts you can overcome anything.

It's been this way since the mid-end of '07. In the summer of 07 it was CSC that was lagging, when I saw that we would go thru Vermont, I was so happy but by the time we filed they had come to a virtual standstill.

Sorry, I hope it gets better for everyone.

:)

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!
