O.K. guys....my morning has been on the phone so here is what I have found out.....First I did my obligitory call to USCIS customer service...I use that term lightly....and I told them that today I was at 170 days.....on December 1 I will be at 180 days and past there stated service dates of 6 months....she told me that on 181 days I can make a formal request for service.....I ask what recourse do I have as a customer who is getting bad service from this agency has....she said after they are 30 days past the 180 days making it 210 days I can put in a formal complaint which they have 60 days to respond....so I said o.k. and moved on......I called the lawyer we used and this is where I got the most information.....It took me a while but he finally came on the line to talk to me....He told me that his office had gotten at least 30 applications filed less then 45 days ago approved from Vermont....I am thinking that couple that we got from 2 weeks ago where from that group.....He said the immigration lawyers association is meeting with VSC head counsel today and hopeful will bring back some explanation of the violation of there own policies in processing these applications out of order...even if they are for training....He said that there were about 1000 pending application that are within 20 days will be outside of there service targets for K1's which then triggers some kind of internal review......He suggested that certified letters to the director of the service center from as many people as possible be sent diplomatically complaining about....1.length of time to process..2.priority of famly based application due to service to American citizens instead of work or study visas for non citizens...3. the apparent violations of there own policies of taking applications out of order to either decrease there wait time ratios or as they say training....He cautioned me to not be aggressive in the letters just ask for reason for these breaches of policy.......He also asked that we contact our Senators and Congressman and ask the same questions.......so I called both Senators offices and faxed inquiries to them and to my Congressman......I am telling you they all say the same thing about this agency......I am also composing a letter to Mr. Gonzalez and the ombudsman for USCIS.........Can you guys help.........I know some of you all are moved past my stage but this is not getting any better very quickly without pressure.......Lora

you are so my hero i know weve all been thinking it... but now is the time... im following your lead .... im sending one tomorrow and if have to ill "Shaw shank Redemption" them, ill send one every day till i get a response at 40 cents a day its worth any penny.. 123 DAYS STILL NO NOA 1!..............YES NOA ONE UNO...nada

ok let me know start a topic if you get a responce. one love J

yeah, Jason; when I went to USCIS I had a whole load of script... scroll down below it though; you can still enter your case number

congratulations to all the recent approvees! so fabulous to know that VSC is having such a blinder

as far as being approved by Christmas - it seems to me that the same thing is happening at VSC as is happening at CSC: the approvals spread out over a six to eight week period (of NOA1 dates, I mean)... so at the moment the approvals are coming a bit from second half of May, any time in June, and first half of July, and if you're pretty much anywhere in that period you could get lucky

so I agree with Bill, that they won't ALL be approved in that time period unless things speed up markedly, but I also think thejoz has reason to be cautiously optimistic

I know this so off topic...but I cant help notice that my countdown banners no longer work ..

I had to delete the old ones because they evidently expired yesterday...who knew? But then when i made new ones, the countdown no longer worked. Any ideas?

and mirla, speak you mind sister...'free your mind, and the rest will follow'

Hahaha! Suave??? Is that albanian? I guess it's the same in spanish....There some words in common I think...Do you speak albanian? It is kinda hard to write but for people who speak spanish it is not very hard to pronunce.Pronunciations are similar and they pronounce the "R" too...hehehe...Is your fiance from Albania or another city? My friend speaks albanian perfect, actually I think she was born in Kosovo and then moved to the states. I think her now husband is from Kosovo too. She taught me a few words but I don't remember anything! Hahahaha!

Tung!

haha, no suave is not albanian, but it was fitting for the description i was looking for...thats a word in english too though, we just dont say 'suav-e'...we just say it like 'suav' i guess lol...i actually dont speak albanian, but we both speak italian so its all good...my fiance is from tirana, the capital of albania but i have a few friends here in ny who are from kosovo as well...im trying very hard to learn albanian, and even though i speak italian, sometimes the pronunciation is a bit hard for me...i think italian is easier...you speak english so well, did you learn when you were very young? i hope adriano can speak english as well as you when he comes here...hes a smart boy and i have faith

LORA!!! No way...I jsut got home from two days in hospital TO!!! Palpatations, muscles twitching that is inducing panic attacks. Dizzy, nausteated, almost passing out...its that strong. I KNOW what you mean. I cant say this is caused JUST by this process..but this added stress sure doesn't help with all my other responsibilities. Girl...we are both in Virginia...we should meet and get a plan. PM me....WE need a day/weekend off at Virginia Beach...with our laptops, Valium and sleep.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL APPROVED....

Hey everyone - I finally got the RFE!!!! And its simple - just need the complete final divorce decree....I can get it tomorrow as I am going to send them a certified copy just in case....I hope that everyone still waiting will hear some news soon!! ~Melinda

Awesome!!!! Send it as fast as you can!!!! I still haven't got any notifications or updates on the website!!!!!!

Thanks!! I am sending it tomorrow...certified copy to be sure.....hope u hear some news soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't send in my fiance's final divorce decree with my petition, but I did send mine. I haven't heard anything from VSC yet, but maybe I should expect a RFE for this? Can I send it now since I have it and not wait for the RFE?

[BabyBlueSusie 1]

Better to just wait and see if you get an RFE. If you send it now, chances of it getting to your file are slim to none.
