VSC 's response to congressman inquiry

[florinaRO 5]

"Call back in 30 days!"

The congressman office called VSC today to inquire about my case because I reached the myth of those 5 months and they got exactly the same thing as everybody else .... NOTHING !

6 months is the new 5 months. VSC didn't let us open any service request until we hit the 6 months mark.

Officials have a direct line. Our congressman`s office got an expedite for us at 6 months when we asked them to inquire on our behalf. We were approved 2 weeks after for a total of 190 days wait.

Hang in there!

So why don't they stop lying and making this ridiculous claim that the delay time is 5 months? Everyone knows they are full of s***, but they think that they can tell any lie they want and we are all stupid enough to believe them.

These bureaucrats are truly legends in their own minds.

Looking at Igors timeline, VSC is clearly 6 months and CSC 5 months.

Vsc have barely touched any of september and its already the middle of feb.

Sound like an intimidation tactic to me. I never heard of a service request slowing you down. And I certainly heard of a congressional intervention speeding you up.

Your Congress critter inquired at about the time your petition was ripe for approval, thus creating the illusion in your mind that they actually "did something" which perpetuates the myth that congressional 'intervention" in a case where there is nothing wrong than the normal ebb and flow of excess petitions in the system can actually effect a positive outcome.

If you believe that 435 congressional aides and 100 senator aides plus calling USCIS, added to the already bloated volumeof calls going into the over taxed system of government and quasi government (contract employees) has the effect of "speeding things up", I have a nice bridge in Brooklynn I would like to sell you.

I disagree 100%. About 3 and a half months into the process, I began complaining like a son-of-a you know what and within a week, my petition was approved. A handful of good friends of mine who filed their petition within days of mine ended up waiting over 6 months for their approval. If you complain hard "enough", you can get some action done. Trust me. It worked for me and it can work for others

From my recent experience, Congressmen do nothing. I have learned that you have to be patient.....And yes, I am sure you have heard that before. The first day I woke up and didn't check the USCIS website and didn't think about our visa, I opened up my email before bed that night and there our approval was - 6 months and 8 days after our NOA1.

Your time will come *hugs

Speaking about complaining, I just noticed that a bunch of CSCs just came in FOR THE END OF SEPTEMBER. They are no longer a month ahead of us. They are now SIX WEEKS ahead of us while we are stuck in neutral with NO END IN SIGHT!

Ok, I understood that congressman cannot do anything ! Fine ! Today I have 5 months and 1 day , lets check who is my fiance's senator, he paid enough taxes all his life and now he needs to get help for his family .

I am sorry I CANNOT just stay and wait ! If the timing for VSC is 5 months than is 5 months. If they don't want me to bother them again they should update their website to 6 or 7 or.... months !
