Hi All, I have read the guide that explains where your petition is supposed to go depending on the State that the Petitioner is from. My Fiance is from PA so according to the guide its supposed to go to VSC however, my petition starts srcxxxxxxxxxx which i was told means its being handled by the TSC. I noted that on the processing times page there are current dates for what the CSC and VSC are working on based on NOA1 dates, but where are the current TSC dates? I know that the generic wait time is 5 months but is there any idea on where they are roughly up to?

On a final note if we ever do make an enquiry on the petition does the pertitioner have to make the call or can the benificery do it?

Thanks in advance.

It's not a generic wait time. It's pretty damned real. No matter how you spin it, weave it, think it, twist it, twirl it, and spoon it, IT'S still going to take five months before you can call the USCIS and get an answer as to what's happening.

Present a fanned deck of cards to your friends and ask them to pick one; only one. One of those 52 is going to be first.

i do not think they are sending new K-1 applications to VSC - just TSC and CSC now.

i've noticed they do not have TSC listed on the processing times page too. you can check out Igor's list to see what NOA1 dates have been recently approved for TSC. i think that's the best indicator out there.
