VSC Backlogged or What?

[islandgal 74]

My goodness.... Seeing the CSC approvals for February almost done is wonderful, but notice that VSC hasn't made much progress... I know it's wait and see, but jeez can they shift the workload and even things out? I also know that not many people update their timelines and it's only a fraction of applicants that are on VJ. Can people call their Congressman/woman or Senator to get some answers and maybe a push in Vermont?

Several of the January filers have contacted our congressmen and senators so we can get things moving. Mine said that someone has my file and they have 30 days to work it, so I can't really do anything further until it gets to 7/17 or VSC updates their system to say they're working on a date past mine. They are reporting that they are working on 1/9, so the computer won't let them put a service request in for any dates past that. Since my senator got back to me, I've seen so movement on my file or the ones around mine, and as far as I know, no one else who filed in January at VSC has either.

I'm fully aware of my processing time... Just saying generally for others who filed in January and February.

When you've been on this site a while you'll notice that the workload backlogs swing back and forwards between the two centers for both K1s and CR1s.

When I applied for my spouse visa Vermont was severely backlogged and eventually after 10 months of waiting for my NOA2 (The NOA1 took 3 months to come!!) Vermont admitted defeat and send a load of casefiles to California to help them catch up. From the email saying they were transferring the case to Cali to getting the NOA2 took just 2 weeks. Which shows just how fast a file can be processed once it lands on someones desk.

It still annoys me that my file sat unopened on a shelf at VSC for 10 months. Nearly the whole first year of our marriage.

That's disgusting. This whole situation is just ridiculous to begin with, but that is just beyond tolerable. I can't imagine what that must have felt like...

That is plain unacceptable.

I think they take turns switching in progress, a couple of months ago, CSC was doing what VSC is doing now.

You'll make me cry guys... I was so happy our case got to VSC, because I heard it's the "fast one"... And now what.. People on my file date are getting approved and my SC is not even close to it...

Not a question about K-1 process or procedures - moving to the service center forums.

I just wonder where do you see that CSC almost done one Feb? There like 91 from Feb unapproved applications and about 30 from Jan (most of them have RFE)

I just spoke to the person handling the immigration casework for my congressman and she told me that in her experience, 8 months is the normal time it takes to get a k-1 visa approved. She said that she did not understand why they post the 5 month time on the USCIS website when a majority of them are longer than 5 months.

That 8 months normal time is total time. Take a look at the whole process to get the visa approved at the embassy. The average is somewhere 3-6 months to get the service center to approve and 4-7 to get the full visa approved. After either TSC, VSC, or CSC, it still has to go through the DoS (NVC) processing in NH and then out to the embassy in the beneficiary's country where an interview has to be set up, medical done, ect.

I am not sure why we expect our congressperson to get things moving for us when they can't do anything for the country.

all they want is to be re-elected, and to make money.

they can all go to H.
