Has anyone noticed that the processing time at VSC for K-1 petition has came back down to 5 months as of April 30, 2013???

How is that possible? From looking at the timelines on VJ, it seems like they are still processing Dec and Jan filers, and yet they claim to be working at 5 months processing time. I know VJ timelines isn't representative of ALL the K-1 petitions, and some VJers may not have updated their timelines, but still I don't know if I believe it.

However, if they really have caught up, then I'll be damn HAPPY! biggrin.pngkicking.gif

Any thoughts?

Notice how if you tilt your head to the right and look at it sideways it looks like USCIS is giving us the finger... huh.png

I don't see how it can be reliable if the other is saying 64 months. I'm guessing that someone is tinkering with the data and it'll be accurate later on.

It isn't back to 5 months. They've only cut it down somewhat as they've transferred all of our petitions (Dec and Jan) to Texas. The remaining filers in Jan aren't getting anything at the moment and Vermont is barely approving anything.

Because the Dec-Jan files are at a different service center now.

At least with it at 5 months, we can complain. My congressman contact them last week and sent back reply that they were processing Oct 15 so I was still within normal times. VSC has approved 1 filer from Nov , and that appears to be for the whole week. They are not going to do anything since they transfer files, because it looks like they are within national goal of 5 months on paper. They still have Nov, early Dec files and late Jan files that are just sitting there. Next week (25th) I will be at 5 months and will now at least get to send in a service request. The backlog continues. VSC is an a bunch of Morons!

I hope it is down to 5 months!!! I am trying to remain positive and optimistic. Even though this is a tedious process, I look forward to the day that my love and I are finally together. Until then, I will visit him as much as possible
