K1 September 2014 Filers (TSC)

[pfrederiksen 22]

5 months isn't the official position for TSC. June 25th as of December 31st is the official position.

Official communication from USCIS to senators and congressmen is 5 months. Like I said, this is obviously not true, but it is their position.

[Wooderz 314]

I missed that. When did uscis say they were processing TSC at 5 months?

I'm still gonna go with their official posted processing data from their website.

All 3 of the letters sent to my 2 congressmen and my senator. They all say "Within 5 months".

Like I said, that's their OFFICIAL position. I'm not saying that's what is happening. All evidence points to it being closer to 7-8 months, as documented by their site, but that is not their position. If it were, that's what the communications would include.

[Wooderz 314]

They do post it worldwide. June 25th as of December 31st. That's over 6 months.

sigh.

Official time not official time bottom line we still looking at April or May approvals for most of us if we are lucky. What sucks about this then we still will have to go through 3 to 4 months more before final approval.

Yes this is what the website says but what he's taking about is that senator and congressional office inquiries that were made got a response back from SCIS sating that all service center was processing I-129f within 5months. That's HQ official word.

[Wooderz 314]

Yes I get that but it's BS. What's posted for the world to read is more legitimate in my opinion.

The times for ead, aos, and ap are also wrong, apparently taking twice the time at texas. More fun to look forward to! 6 months until my soon to be husband to legally work. Two extra trips back and forth while we wait for noa2, sure I'm made of money.

Of course it's BS because we clearly have many July and August filer who are still waiting so there goes that theory.If it was indeed the case September approvals would be rolling in by now as this is out 5 month.

[Blueblood 5]

Yes, 8-9 months is what we can expect. Blueblood and others, PLEASE STOP QUOTING 5 MONTHS! That is a thing of the past. Sure, the USCIS's official position is that all service centers are processing the I-129F in 5 months, but as I proved in my letter that is incorrect. I proved that an 8-to-1 ratio exists between the two service centers. Heck, I turned 5 months yesterday, which means that I can probably expect another 3, as TabeaK mentioned, which puts me at early May for my approval. That means that in my particular case, we won't get the NOA1 until after the birth of our son. Which means that there is a good chance I'll have to leave them behind when I return to TEXAS. Hell, why do you think I've been pushing so hard, writing to everyone under the sun? Because I have extreme motivation and because we all have the likelihood of an even longer wait time as the backlog at the TSC will probably increase, if anything.

Sorry for the rant, you're not the target, but STOP QUOTING 5 MONTHS PLEASE! Thanks...LOL :D

[RANT off]

av8or1, you're still waiting for you NOA1? Or is that a typo, and you're actually still waiting for your NOA2? You seem very attentive to detail, so I fear that wasn't a typo.

If the former, how can you know if USCIS didn't just lose your petition?

I only quoted the 5 mo's bc that's apparently the official line, at least as I read it in this thread. Actually, you needn't worry about ranting here. You've got a right to do so. In the meantime, DACA benificiaries (never authorized by Congress) are living life and enjoying themselves in America, and have far fewer hoops to jump thru than us. This frustrates the h&*!# out me...

[Wooderz 314]

Sorry, I don't mean legitimate as in actually accurate and true. I meant it's more official than what they told a congressman's staffer because we can't even verify who provided that information and what kind of information they have access to. At least with the online processing time, we know it's been verified as their "story" so to speak.

It was indeed a typo, he meant noa2.

Blueblood,

Yes, my bad, that was a typo. I was so juiced when I posted that rant that my fingers were nothing but a blurry mess of flesh and so I made the error. It should have been NOA2. As it says in my signature, my NOA1 was received on September 11, 2014, hardcopy on September 18, 2014. Actually, I did notice the error, but VJ only allows edits for a short time after the initial post is made, and thus I couldn't go back and correct it.

DACA? Oh #### ###### ###### #### #####! Don't get me started on that. Please. LOL :D
