checks should be cashed at NOA2 time

[demortuomari 0]

Hi,

I think that if checks would have to be cashed by USCIS at NOA2 time then it would definately shorten the waiting time for all of us.

The lockbox facility was setup specifically for this one purpose: to open the envelops and cash the checks. And then people have to wait 11.3 months for the decision. This is scandalous. People who decide to contact their congressman should push for that change instead of trying to speedup their particular case.

The USCIS site claims: "We process fiancé(e) petitions in the order we receive them." Is there anyone here that realy believes in that?

Apart from the above being a sheer lye how can they tell people that CSC has a 5 month processing time? Just look at the cases at VJ everyday entries. People from july, october (2012) getting their NOA2 on May 28,29,30 (2013)!! This is not a five month processsing time.

They also claim that each case is different. Let's be frank, how different those cases can be?! A man and a woman want to get married and that is it. Those differences would only be subtle at times and should not affect the processing time at all. Even if cases are different they should have a schema of those differences somewhere for their employees, let's say 10, 15 points and the rest is just a standard procedure.

My understanding of all of this mess with fiancee visas is that it is a complete disorder. There is no line or queue whatsoever. There probably is a carousel in their office pushed by a monkey and whatever envelop falls off they will process it.

Welcome to the forum.

Good luck on your visa journey.

I agree... the process is completely unfair. And there's nothing we can really do about it. I contacted my Senator last night and mentioned those things... probably they will be told by the USCIS, "wait another 30 days."

No, that's not it. You wouldn't need USCIS approval to just get married.

*** Thread moved from K-1 Process forum to the USCIS Service Centers forum -- topic involves the overall processing timeframe. ***

(Organizer hat off)

The processing was thrown into disarray by the DACA program, which was decreed by one man (initials, BHO) who ordered it to be a political priority. USCIS is only now beginning to dig out. See various analyses in this Service Centers forum.
