Processing Time is unclear

[kbiceroglu 0]

Hi Everyone,

This is my first time posting to this site!

So, My fiance is from Turkey and we have received our NOA 1. We sent in our application on Sep. 14 2012.

In this light, our visa should have been processed by now... today is 3/7/13 and I have still not heard one word as to what is happening.

We have been checking our case status like crazy and checking the boards for updates and all it says is that California Service Center (CSC) should have our visa processed within 5.5 months. This date has come and gone.

However, when I go onto the master list for CSC it says that the processing time is July 18th, 2012. I called USCIS to have them explain to me what is going on and why there is this major over-site. They said our case was still ongoing and they did not know how much longer it would take and to call back on April 6th. I cannot do an e-request to see what is going on with my case either, because it says our case is still within posted processing times..which is not true.

So here are my questions: What would they do after April 6th? Has anyone had this problem? Has anyone had their case way off of the actually posted processing time? If so, how long did it take after the posted dates to get your visa?.... I hope this makes sense, please help!!!

STOP Already. Not until you are at like 10 months out should you begin to be worried.

Yes, almost everyone has had this problem! Check the timelines on this site.

Officially, the present date they're up to is July 18th. So if your filing date is after that, then you are "still within posted processing times."

According to Igor's List, they are approximately working on July/August files right now.

If you have read other threads in this forum you will see that many many people before September are still waiting for their NOA2. There is zero point in checking your case status like crazy because it will just drive YOU crazy. Every country and case is different so it's impossible to say how long it would take to get your visa after your approval.

Many people are being approved after 200 days. Hang in there.

Really ? We don't have the same definition of "many"

CSC may be starting to pick up a little.

I was looking at Igor's list, and the last half of February (2 weeks) there were a grand total of 6 applications receiving NOA2's from this site (obviously the ones who don't update their timelines aren't counted). So far, the first 6 days of March hasn't been much better, as there were only 4 VJers who updated their status to show they'd received their NOA2. As of the writing of this post though, there were 4 more who got their NOA2 yesterday. This could be a fluke or the start of a trend, only time will tell, but I haven't seen 4 move through CSC in a day since I filed a month ago.

Yes - the tides have turned. Last year CSC was much faster then CSC. Now there is a reversal.

Many is a relative terms
