:protest: OK, IT'S TIME TO SEND THE CHOCOLATE KISSES!!!!

I PLAN TO ISSUE THE PRESS RELEASE FOR MONDAY. I THINK IF WE START ORDERING FROM

WWW.HERSHEYGIFTS.COM TOMORROW, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY THEY SHOULD START TO BE BOMBARDED WHEN THE PRESS RELEASE COMES OUT.

DON'T FORGET TO ADD A MESSAGE WITH YOUR ORDER(S) AT CHECKOUT. LIKE 'HURRY IT UP ALREADY' OR ONE OF THE EARLIER SUGGESTIONS FROM AMRSSNOWANGEL, ETC.

SHIP THEM TO:

P NOVAK, ADJUDICATORS, AND STAFF

USCIS VERMONT SERVICE CENTER

75 LOWER WELDEN ST

ST ALBANS, VT 05479-0001

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?

LET'S DO IT :dance::dance::dance:

I'll order mine today....

How about a note like:

KEEP THOSE K APPROVALS COMING!!

I'll send my share for the press release as well..

Thank you for your hard work on this...

Guys, dont think that just because they are moving that it means it will STAY moving, this habit repeats itself with USCIS where they get more work and have delays...we must keep the pressure on

Have you sent your kisses today?

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.

I see many complain that others are approved out of order, some have to wait ungodly times for noa2. So what have you done to help? This is my plea...get off your seat, go to www.hersheygifts.com and make that contribution. For as little as $20.00 you CAN make a difference.

I SENT MY KISSES.... HAVE YOU????????????? We have no right to complain if we aren't willing to stand up and take action. We can't be heard, unless we use our voices loudly. We cant enjoy the rewards if we aren't willing to commit to the hard work....

SEND THOSE CHOCOLATES TODAY!!! Make a difference. Dont think that your small contribution of a box of kisses won't matter, they do. If everyone gives something, no matter how small, it adds up. It makes us noticed. Don't let US Wendy's, Virgillionaire's, and many others hard work go to waste. Your contribution does matter, it CAN make a difference.

WWW.herseysgifts.com

For as little as $20.00 you can make a difference. Will you be one the simply sits and complains?? Or someone who takes action, who likes to make change happen???

OKay, so I contacted Vermont via e-mail and here is the reply I recieved. Yes they are clearly working on June K1's at last!

Mr. Hill –

As you indicate, this is a relatively small amount of data. For example, in August and September the Vermont Service Center received over 4,300 fiancée. That’s over 100 fiancée per business day.

Right now the center is actively working fiancée petitions received on June 4th, which is slightly ahead of our 6 month goal. That’s the goal we put on our website to help customers set their expectations both before they file, and while their case is pending. Of course some older cases are still being worked that have issues with respect to missing documentation, where we have had to ask for additional material, or where there are substantive background or other issues. I can’t comment on the cases you listed, but it’s quite possible that some of the pending cases have such issues.

As I indicated before, we recognize the circumstances of fiancée petitions, and each petitioner’s intense interest in getting their case processed so their fiancée may apply for a visa to come here to marry. To be fair to everyone we do work to process these cases in strict order. There are limited exceptions where a case may be processed more quickly, for example where we use a case for training purposes. Similarly we do give a somewhat higher priority to the K-3 variation of these petitions filed along with an I-130 relative petition since in essence we consider the duplicative K-3 petition an expedite request. To handle the volume also means we move several days or several weeks work being actively processed by our officer staff at any given time, which can lead to s slight variation in processing times among individual cases.

I hope this helps.

Maybe since you were (seemingly) the first person to get a response from them about this they might listen to you again... StillThePrettiest said something over in our July forum which maybe you could email to them and see if they respond to:

"I am a fan of logic in all things, and that training business MAKES NO SENSE

why is a more recently filed petition of any more value for training than one that was filed earlier? training on the straightforward ones I can understand, but do they want us to believe that somehow NONE of the petitions filed in May or June are straightforward?"
