Hi-

Recently one of our fellow VJ members inquired with a federal representative regarding the I-129F petition processing time discrepancy between the CSC and TSC. This representative was told by the USCIS that the VJ data (our timelines) are wrong and further that there is no way that the CSC is processing the petitions so quickly. In essence, they are saying that all of you CSC folk are not being truthful and/or accurate with your NOA1 and NOA2 date information (your timeline). Can you believe that? Wow. So. The Skunkworks team has decided to take action and reply to the implication ("feedback"). And that is where you I-129F CSC filers come in.

Could you please send us a photo copy or picture of your NOA1 and NOA2 notices, emails or texts? Feel free to black-out your names, A#s and such if you want for privacy reasons, just leave enough information visible that it tells the story. I've had one volunteer already and everyone could use your help. Please send your stuff to VJ member KristinD (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/user/197340-kristind/). She has volunteered to collect the submissions.

Thanks much!

I will help on this project too. I will copy this message and send it to all CSC fillers, if that's okay. I am saying that because there are a lot of members on VJ that do not read these topics. So I think it would be a good idea if we send them a message and ask them for help.

Let me know if you think this is right and you want me to help.

***Post containing thumbnail that violated the TOS removed; post without thumbnail returned below.***

I sent a lot of messages to CSC fillers and I am waiting for them to respond. I also got an warning from moderator but "IDGF". I will do the same again because I am trying to help everyone and I am not doing anything wrong.

~~~To all, per the spamming provision of the VJ Terms of Service, discussion about this project that is being undertaken is to be limited to this thread and this thread only. Any discussion about it in other threads or through sending private messages to other members will result in Administrative Action; I personally hope this is a step that can be avoided.~~~

I would very much like copies of any NOA 1/2s from Cali that show how fast they are being approved. I'd like to send them straight on to my congressman as proof that I'm not making this up. Is the plan to put them somewhere that everyone can see them?
