I've heard that historically this si to be expected. They go back and forth.

My advice is to just lob your petition in, include the email notification paperwork, register on the USCIS website and then get a hobby until 5 months have passed.

A watched pot never boils.

:thumbs: Could very well be a number of any variables. An overdue distribution of VSC filers could be the culprit, or CSC may just be getting slammed with I-129F. Who knows? On thing for sure; don't get cozy with the idea of being approved in 4 months. Consider yourself a fortunate one if you do, but setting yourself up for high expectations could lead to unnecessary disappointment. Focus on 5 months, but be prepared for 6 or 7. For 5 to be an average, there has to be a range.

Well yes they seem to be doing petitions from July right now - and they kinda weird the fact they working on cases from July and for exemple our case in June has no answer yet nor has it been assigned to an adjudicator :whistle:

When i look online i see that the case hasn't been touched since our NOA 1 in June .

We should ask them how they work on them as obviously it is not in the same order they arrive to the center .

Anyway who knows what is going on over there . But yes they are kinda slowing down .

Let's hope they will get moving and solve our cases quick as they did before :innocent: :innocent: :innocent::thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

contact everybody with any authority asap. it's criminal that the csc filers will now have to wait 90 days instead of 60 days. :P

isnt that the truth! While all of us @ VSC are 160-190 days! :rofl:

I have been posting and reading on here for three years now and these same conversations seem to repeat themselves. Sometimes slower, sometimes a lttle faster. Who really knows. Just try and be patient.

Ha, three months would be amazing. Get used to the idea of waiting and it'll be slightly less painful. If anything it'll probably slow down a whole bunch; they've gotten "ahead" on K-1s so now theyll probably focus on something else for a bit until they get "behind."

Because of the Election coming up.

Why would the pending days to the election day slow anything down?
