How many Service Requests does it take?

[KarenJohn 3]

How many Service Requests does it take for someone to approve our K-3? It's been 245 days since our K-3 has been at VSC and I've just called in our 2nd Service Request.

What's up with VSC? Why are they taking so bloody long?

My husband and I have been trying really hard to be patient with this whole process, but 8 months since they received the paperwork and still NOTHING. Some people are getting approve faster than others and some people have been waiting longer then us (bless you).

What's up?

Thanks for letting me vent.

you do seem to be out of processing date time frames, we also received a RFE in January '09 and VSC took the complete 60 days to respond. When they didnt respond, I was able to do a service request on the 61st day and both petitions were approved the same day.

When we were in "RFE" status, VSC told us they weren't able to even access our petitions until the full 60 dyas were up so I'm surprised they allowed you a second service request 30 days later.

No rhyme or reason for how & what they do but we do wish you good news very soon

Time has come to contact your congressman or senator!!!!! VSC stands for Very SLow Center. I know first hand, I spent 6 months there last year, when it was truly Hell of Earth.

Sorry to hear you are still there.

I have practised emergency request, seemed to be pretty automated for going directly to trash.

I was pretty inquisitive with this agent. Agent was pretty much tied to her 'canned' responses.

I asked for a supervisor, and she (the Agent) responded, "I'm sorry for your frustration, but there is no update in your case. You've already opened one Service Request and you may not be be able to open another -- I'll have to check the system." Which she was able to create a 2nd SR on the K-3.

I like when she mentioned I needed to wait 60 days for a response, but yet the letter states within 30 days. (I'm being sarkie) :-)

Well, it's been a year 3 weeks for me now since the paperwork, 7 service requests (that we later discovered to have just been dismissed) and we still don't know if our case has even gotten out of the FBI yet. So, I wouldn't really put much faith in the service requests if I were you... I recommend getting everyone you can think of involved and fast, keep bothering them, anything. I hope you have better luck than we've had so far... USCIS screwed up our case so good that they thought my husband wasn't even US citizen, which they've apparently been investigating for the past year, instead of focusing on me, the NON-american... And even though they made several mistakes, they've shown no interest in fixing any of it or expediting our case. I'm just looking to find out who I can sue now

But good luck to you, I hope you'll hear something soon.

FWIW, I emailed Congressman, Senator and President. Even if it goes on deaf ears.... it's been relayed. It's a problem that our government should look into. I think they're too busy trafficking the illegals they're forgetting us who are doing it the legal (correct) way. Something has to be done in realigning resources and getting the process to work smoothly and within a six month time frame. I know... wishful thinking.

Thanks y'all.

Got an email today from USCIS...

Type of service requested:

-- Outside Normal Processing Times

The status of this service request is:

Your case is currently under review. You should receive a decision or notice of

other action within 60 days of the date of this letter.

-------------------------------------------------------

UGH!!!!

Hang in there it took almost 8 months for me to get my petition approved from VSC. Atleast this letter states your petition in under review.

Wow, you seem to be quite upbeat for being in this position. Maybe you've already reached a peace. Good luck on trying to sue. It is quite unfortunate that the government has so much control over people getting to be with their loves.

hi everyone..we are also in the same situation. Service request doesnt seem to help. Its just their way to make us keep quite and wait for another 45 days.

Why have they given 6 months timeframe if they cant . They should write the processing dates instead, so that we can have better idea on whats going on there.

Have you heard of any recent k-3 (VSC) approvals in this current week?

Good luck to everyone waiting.

That's just it. Don't provide a within XX days (time frame) in your letters. They can't even be accountable for their failure to deliver by their said dates or time frames. If you are given a time frame and the date's not met, I think it would be beneficial to all that USCIS give a reason why and what they're waiting for. Rather than us having to follow-up and request another Service Request.

I understand and appreciate their need to weed out bad eggs and check out the good eggs (most of us) in the process. But just frustrating when they miss dates or take too long without giving an update to folks who are waiting.

Ok.. off my soapbox.

In your K-3 petition , did you apply I129F first and then I130?
