yes, I'd agree with that; all reports say Texas hasn't been adjudicating K petitions for more than a year...

Thats wierd because I could have sworn from what I researched that I was supposed to send my application to TSC up until August. Now granted that was before I found this site and also I am not the one who physically sent it off (it was my lawyer).

Our Timeline:

Dec 1 05 - Met in London

Guy was on vacation Val was living there.

Mar 06 - Guy went back to London

Mar 06 - Val came to stay with me in Greece where I was living.

May 06 - Val went back to London

July 06 - Val came back to Greece and stayed until Oct 06

Oct 06 - Val went back to Brazil

May 07 - Val tried for tourist visa to U.S. DENIED!!!

May 07 - We decided to get married. Hired Lawyer

July 20 07 - Lawyer sent I-129F to VSC

Aug 9 07 - First of probably a few trips to Brazil for Guy

Aug 14 07 - NOA 1 Date

Aug 23 07 - We get officially engaged!!!!!

Sep 03 07 - Guy went back to USA

no, not that weird... from everything I've read, petitions were still sent to and accepted at both Nebraska and Texas up until the changes you mention, but they were then just forwarded on to Vermont or California, as now... the changes at the end of July just formalised that

AFAIK ;)

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Hello everyone, I have a bit of breaking news to share with you all.

I sent this email to CIS Ombudsman maybe a day or three ago:

Great effort in contacting the ombudsman.

I dispute the USCIS's claim that September petitions are being approved because they are especially well documented. That is just baloney. What could they have possibly submitted that allowed them be processed before May, June, July and August petitions? I can see that a petition without any complications would be processed before a more complicated petition submitted at the same time, but there is no way in the world that they should be even looking at non expedited September petitions yet.

When I wrote to the Ombudsman today, I pointed out that while there are different variables and nuances which may cause some petitions to be approved before others, I am highly skeptical that the 100s of petitons filed prior to Sept. 2007 are all of a more complex nature and less well documented than the few that have been approved after that time.

Unless they physically stapled their bodies to their applications I can't imagine these September petitions being anymore well documented then ours.

LOL No kidding!!! I studied for over a year in preparing to file! It was well organized and well documented!! I dare an adjudicator to dust it off and take a look - its all there!!!

We all need to keep pounding the ombudsman with this info and have our concerns addressed. Hopefully we can make a difference!

Yeah, that's BS. They shouldn't even be touching those yet as many of ours haven't been touched yet, so how would they know how swell they are versus the other petitions?

My theory is they decided they had all they could handle with the may, june , july, august piles and started to split off the newer petitions to another work group to get started on. Not saying it's fair ...

just a reminder; remember what the guy that used to an adjudicator said; many of these folks work from home and may only come to the office once or twice a week; you petition could be approved but be at home with an adjudicator; when entered into the system it will show as approved.

another point, I think some of the fast approvals were because these folks came back with spotless criminal records, no previous marriages, etc and might have been easier to approve than some of us with divorces, previous K1 applications, previous criminal records-no matter how minor, etc

Highly dubious that hundreds of petitions filed prior to those approved in Sept. & Oct. fall into this category. I know plenty of people who had prior marriages., etc. that were approved through VSC in under a month back when VSC was an efficient processing center.

I put this in your other thread:

It looks like lately packet 3 &4 for Nigeria are picked up on the same day.

Someone from Nigeria could tell you exactly what is in packet 3 but let me take a guess: info on police certificate and medicals, info he needs from you (I-134, etc), proof of ongoing relationship stuff and the interview date. Stuff like that I guess.
