Considering the rapidity which people who were lucky enough to get routed to CSC are getting approved, I thought I would make this thread for those of us who filed in April and were routed to TSC. As a place to discuss the waiting period, but mostly because seeing CSC people getting approved after two weeks is heart breaking.

So post away my fellow TSC filers!

I know it's only been a little under two months since I filed, but seeing how tsc is reacting to November & December filers inquiring on their cases & how far behind they are, it just seems li

Ok, congrats to you & all, but this is clearly a thread marked tsc. None of us will see our cases touched for another 2-3 maybe 4 months & you're at the embassy? Please don't post stuff like t

No joke...I totally agree. The quickness of those rerouted to Cali is enough to make even December-March TSC filers sick. I am reading that all of us who are ppending at TSC are in about a 6,000 petition pile up. :-( So what helps get the thoughts of a long wait for NOA2 off your minds? Ugh. Terry

To be honest, try not to look and read through those being approved by CSC as it just adds to getting upset. This is something none of us can change and we just have to fight through this until our day eventually comes. Yeah it's highly unfair and upsetting watching people get approved in less than a month but it's beyond our control. Hang in there fellas, we all will get through this.

I keep reminding myself that this waiting period will help me to save up money. It hurts knowing that we will be separated until likely, December (after the interview & everything). I really feel for those still waiting from nov/dec but that doesn't make our wait any less tragic. I'm hoping tsc will start to pick up soon...I was looking over the graphs the other night & noticed that the speeds fluctuate. It's heartbreaking knowing that just because I live on the east coast, means I have to wait forever for an noa2. But my fiancé is worth it & we will both work through this together.

What would make it easier on me is if people that I know would be supportive of my situation instead of thinking I'm insane & getting mad because I'm saving up money. Apparently, because I'm female, I shouldn't have to pay for any of this...ummm, no. Were both saving as much as possible, it's only fair. At least no one on here is so judgmental.

I am the petitioner.

Anybody know how/why certain people are transferred to CSC? Could it be because of your geographic location?

Luck of the draw. There is literally no rhyme or reason to it unfortunately.

The money saving thing is a bit of a blessing. And because the £ is crazy strong right now, it means saving even more. That is how I manage to make it seem like it's okay haha

Hello there April filers :) i have a question, does anybody see this one too from USCIS dashboard?

tsc i129 : 0 in petition volume?

CSc: 9,902 pending?

Could it be that they transferred all the I-129 in California service center? Because the last time I checked the dashboard it says Texas have more than 6k pending petitions and CSC have 1k+ petitions left. Is it just me? O there's error in the online dashboard of USCIS?

Thank the lord of K-1 petitions. Got my hardcopy NOA1 today, and it's from CSC. Apparently I was automatically forwarded and never knew. Maybe there is something to my geographic location idea.
