From what I understand, when it comes to AOS, Vermont is mindbendingly slow while California processes these much more quickly.

So while CSCers are languishing waiting for the NOA2, Vermonters speed through. On the other end, Vermonters are stuck in AOS limbo while those in California have already received their Green Card.

Hi,

Not all of us VSC K-1 filers are getting that 2 week approval. I used a lawyer with a thourough checklist... and I am still not approved after 6 weeks.

I got an RFE being snail mailed to me as of the 20th of April but I don't know what on earth they are going to ask for. I am sure it is something which is not simple because... like i said... my law firm had a complete checklist.

When I first filed I estimated time of visa at 3 1/2 to 4 months if we got NOA2 in a couple weeks. Now I am adding time to that estimate every day it takes to get the NOA2.

All of this is a little confusing to me. I mean... it really sucks that me and my darling need to wait. I was in Russia for three weeks in April with her (second visit) and we are so close. We are definitely the other half of each other and both of us just want to be together so we can live our life.

I'm with you! I don't care if the other processes take a bit longer, as long as we're together while we wait.

In my opinion CSC and VSC both process I-129F petitions consistently .. CSC 90 to 100 days (consistently) and VSC less than a month (consistently) .. CSC just needs to play catch up, and then maybe they can consistently process petitions faster ..

CB

These processing times make sense of course. CSC processes the work from 3 service centers, while VSC processes the work from 1 service center. Thus, I'm not surprised at all to see CSC take roughly 3 times as long as VSC. They should never have split up processing of these geographically....that's just a recipe for imbalance.

Wife's visa journey:

03/19/07: Initial mailing of I-129F.

07/07/11: U.S. Citizenship approved and Oath Ceremony!

MIL's visa journey:

07/26/11: Initial mailing of I-130.

05/22/12: Interview passed!

Yeah, it does seem really weird to me that I'm in GA and my application is in CA. First come first served to a single processing center seems like the most fair method. But as others have said, it's governemt..

Wow! This is shocking!

"Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated as early as July 24, 2007."

On April 13th the estimated date was July 25th. It actually went down a day.

My estimated date for my I-130 dropped by more than month this weekend! But it's also in the past gone up by a month or so! I just hope it will stay here where it is now! That would be wonderful!

According to the data here, it seems the 3 slow centers were slow even before they started forwarding their info to CSC.

And y'all should feel free to call your member of congress/senator as well. Look up the number for the district office (that's the one in your hometown) and ask to speak with the staffer who handles immigration case work. Explain your story - nicely, not yelling, they don't get paid that much and they don't have a magic red-phone to the CSC - and get on the radar.

Letters are a lot easier to read and file away. Frequent phone calls make a point too. And the process will never change unless we keep ourselves on the radar.
