Why is it taking so long? I filed my papers Sept 9, 2009 and I was told that it would take 45 days (maybe it was in my head) why and how and who is running the show has everyone at the CSC started taking holiday vacations already? Well maybe they need to hire holiday help like everyone else! Man hire me to process the papers I need a job! Any answers I am sure you all may think it's a stupid ? but Neither one of us has a criminal record so what else could they be looking for!! UGGHHHHHHHH! and the estimated timeline dates are changing!

You know how slow they can be, may not even be a justifiable reason! :angry:

There ARE no answers. You just have to force yourself to be patient...which can be trying, I know!

Just remember that it's a process, and there's nothing you can do about it other than be diligent in monitoring your status, and talking to the USCIS / NVC when things are taking longer than average.

Whoever told you it would only take 45 days lied to you, unfortunately. The current processing times at CSC is 5 months as of October 18, 2009.

Montreal: BEAT!!! Approved!!!!!

This whole journey is a lesson in patience - as stated, you were lied to with the 45 day timeline - and also be aware that the 5 month processing time is for the first step - not the entire process, and also it's an estimate - may be faster, maybe longer - It's frustrating, and difficult - but you have to prepare yourself for a wait -

Check the timelines here - you have however long it takes at the service center, then time at the NVC, then waiting for an interview....
