Waiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?

[Daniel Brillit 0]

Looking at the Historical Processing Times for VSC, it seems like the second half of the year is much slower than the first half.

Yes, thats true. There are more applications coming in during the spring and summer, and thats the same time adjudicators like to go on vacation.

On top of that, April marks the cut off for H1B submission, which puts an increased load on VSC as well.

The good news is that ths is not unusual, and VSC usually returns to its speed self by fall, so we just have to hang on!

By fall man this is crazy K-1 was suppose to be faster hum at least when I filed for a K-1 in may 06 it was approved in 22 days and I thought that was long. Oh well nothing we can do about it except go see my girl, leaving on Saturday and will see you all when I get back. Good luck.

Congratulations to Lona & Tony, La & Sann, and Ania & Nate! The three of them received their NOA2s from VSC on 6/28. Also, the three of them had their NOA1s from March, which supports my idea that new I-129Fs aren't being pulled at the moment.

Also, it has been suggested that there is no different queue at VSC for K-1 and K-3; so I will recombine the lists to make one super list, and at least we will feel a little bit better when we see the number go down a wee bit.

Of course, when I combine the lists, our numbers go up...

Anyway, congratulations again! 3 more done, the rest of us yet to come.

I removed the Country column from the list to better accomodate people with smaller screen resolutions. (Sorry, I'm used to 1600x1200.)

Now that I have combined the list, I'm not sure if I like it, because based on the types of visas petitioned for, there is a difference in service time, so there probably is a seperate queue for K-1 and K-3.

Also, now I'm #53 in the list, which sound so far away. Thank god Lona & Tony, La & Sann, and Ania & Nate got approved, or else i'd be #56...

What are your thoughts? Combined list or seperate lists?

[Toshtishtash 1]

I think it's fantastic that you are doing this! Thank you so much!

It would be easier to see what's going on with 2 lists.... But then again it all depends on what is easier for you to update!

[soch 2]

I prefer 2 different lists... however you are great for doing this. Thanks!

[nora &ryan 0]

You are awesome …. Thank you so much for doing that I prefer 2 list though …

Thank you again

hey guys .... anything new....

[deadbird 2]

No....I called again today and the guy on the phone told me I was within processing times...didn't even give me the line about security checks that I got last week.

[CzechMate 16]

Arrrgghhh!!!

I just called USCIS and did the RFE trick (first time) to get to VSC. The kind officer that I spoke with at the VSC said that our case was still awaiting review. AWAITING REVIEW!?!?!?!?! I would be really upset if I didnt already know that the review only takes about 20 minutes. Well, here's to praying for a quick review.....
