Any Approvals for CSC latly?

[cartman12 0]

Has anyone been approved from the California Service Center latly? Wondering because the frustration is with the service center is killing me. My applications have not been touched since September 9th (I130) and and November 3rd. Sometimes it feels like they have just lost my application and are too small to admit it.

Is this the thread where I can moan about CSC and state how I wish my application could have gone to Vermont instead? Because I really feel like moaning. I'm having a day of impatience. I may return to being patient tomorrow, but today, not so much. Argggggghhhhhh! (No, I am not a pirate)

cartman12, I hope you get a touch soon. Or, even better, an approval. Partly because you have been waiting longer than I have and partly because they have to get through your petitions before they will get to mine.

Maybe once I get an approval I can start using complete sentences again.

Yep yep it is just that thread. Also, although I really need your well wishes it is not entirely true that they have to get through my application before getting to yours. It has been my experince that people have gotten approval sooner if they were married in canada or some other country that has good relations with America.

That would make sense but look at garyandkris' timeline. They're a UK petition and the UK is our biggest ally - that is assuming we still have one now. Must resist rant on Bush...

Don't rant about Bush online or USCIS will send your petitions to the bottom of the pile too.

It does seem that, in general, spouses from countries that have good relations with the US get faster approvals. A lot of that has to do with the time it takes to perform name checks, one would think. I haven't noticed Canadians getter markedly faster approvals than everyone else, though. It seems most of it is luck of the draw and whether or not you fall under Vermont's umbrella.

Can I whine a tiny bit more about how I wish I lived closer to Vermont? Vermont, Vermont, Vermont! Argggghhhhhhh!
