what I am saying is we have been at the CSC for 5 months and NOW they are moving us to another center and the automated response we get says we now have to go by the TRANSFER date (Oct.7) and start another 6 months of waiting for out NOA2....I want to know if anyone has gotten an email and been transfered at the end of the process like this...

Man, that sucks! Are you sure the lawyer sent the papers to the right service center? I read on an older post that when VSC was pumping out approvals in 60 days, someone tried to be slick and sent their petition to VSC when they should have sent it to TSC. It was received at VSC and the NOA-1 was sent out, but once the officer reviewing the packet noticed the address (city, state, zip), the petition was forwarded to the correct service center. I would assume you would have a little longer wait, but starting from scratch, thats just wrong!

I honestly wish I could say I was surprised, but this is the worse US Government agency that exists and nothing they do surprises me anymore. I hope you get this resolved.

I'm with you Annette.

I haven't seen my fiance since July and I will not be seeing him until July 2008. Our interview is in March so we decided that we would just have a ceremony in Ghana since by some miracle everyone will be in the same place at the same time and then we would come back to the States together.

At least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Good luck to the rest of my fellow May filers :)

Hey Annette,

Great topic. I last saw my fiancee on July 4,2007. Unfortunately when I left her I told her she would be here by Christmas (we filed at the end of May). Obviously that is not going to happen. We both miss each other very very much and we are both extremely disappointed that we still have not been approved. It looks like I am one of the graddaddy's of May filers not approved yet.

I just hope when I am approved that maybe processing through NVC will be faster (I can hope at least).

Thanks for sending out the positive vibes because I can definitely use them

April 29th is the last time I saw my fiance. We had no clue it would ever take us this long. I remember at the airport when I was crying he said, don't worry, it won't be more than 4 months till we see each other again. In eight days it will be six months. :( and no end in sight. Our original wedding date was yesterday. I spent our "wedding night" watching a movie by myself. Yeah, this sucks :(

But, I will try to be more positive because there will be an end to this and we WILL be with our loved ones eventually.

I wish us all luck this week - lots of approvals and lots of us getting to the NVC :thumbs:

How's that for ironic, CSC is approving filers much more frequently than VSC, yet VSC is getting their few petitions to NVC within 1 day of approval. Pick your poison!

Hey Guys here is our delay story:

We filed to CSC the last week of April and made arrangements to get married the 8 of December in Orlando (at that time it seems a reasonable time frame). We chose Florida because is closer to Colombia and is would be easy for friends and family to be therare since our residency is going yo be in California. So my parents, uncles, brother (with wife and kids) made arrangements to travel that means airplane tickets and hotel; also a couple of friends in USA and Europe made arrangements to be there for us on December 8. BUT OUR APLORVAL TOOK OVER 160 DAYS so there is no way we are going to make it. So now my family as going vacation with out us, and since we can plan in advance (and he has to use holidays visiting me in Colombia) seems that only my parents will come to our weeding!!!! (My brother is expecting a baby and right now his wife is in the 5th month of her pregnancy so January or February is not an option to travel) On top of that my work contract and apartment lease will end the 30 of November !!!!

But lest keep positive !!! Good luck to you all.

I think that you should call USCIS and ask what really happened. It is over 160 days, and a lot of folks have called and got touched. As long as you don't have a complicated case like applying several times, less documents etc, you should be fine. If I were you, I would call and try to find out. And even no NOA1 is crazy. They might be missing something.
