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

[BabyBlueSusie 1]

i know, when i was re-numbering the list i couldnt believe how many slots some people moved up...i can definitely say that moving up 30-50 slots is out of control...i NEVER moved up that much...i started in the 90s and got my NOA2 while i was in the 40s....and THAT took almost 5 months!!!!!!! out of control!!!!!!

the vsc is looking great, im elated because of all the progress that has been made during the fine month of november

i hope my case eventually makes it to albania, right now its sitting tight in naples =(

until they make the switch, i will keep making the lists because i have nothing better to do than sit and wait some more!!!!!!!

To be frank-this just blows....

I am thinking I should of waited and filed in July.........First come first serve is a lie..........It blows...It sucks and is F*&*ed up...........the pain killers are making me say everything...sorry

its definitely a very shite position to be in...i can only imagine how you guys feel

now, i cant say for sure what is happening (none of us can), but i think that these july / august approvals are the result of the new adjudicators either being hired, or being newly assigned to k1 visa petitions (when they were previously working on other types of visas)...chances are that the may and june petitions are with an adjudicator and have been for some time now...when all the new staff began working on k1's in the beginning of november, it is highly likely that when they went to grab their first crate, that the may and june petitions were already spoken for (ie: assigned to an adjudicator and sitting on his / her desk), so the new adjudicators took the next available crates, which would be july and august

it makes sense then, to see little progress for the may and june filers, because no new adjudicators have been assigned to those crates, because they were already spoken for...thus, the rate for may and june filers is the same as it has been - trickling - while july filers have seen a massive boom due to the number of new adjudicators picking up their crates

i dont know if that makes sense to anyone but myself, but thats my theory...no data to back it up, simply speculation...im also not saying its fair, because it definitely is not fair that some people have been waiting close to or over 6 months for their NOA2...its inexcusable, and i truly truly trulyyyyyyyyyy hope that none of you have to wait much longer

Can someone please clarify something for me. I was under the impression that the service centers used the date they recieved the petitions in the mail as the date they go by when processing the applications. Is this not right? The reason I asked is because when I was looking at the "edit timeline" feature it says to put the date that they sent your NOA1 out as the date to put in your timeline. So if someone could please explain this to me I would appreciate it.

Also to the people that make the lists you might want to change my information on them since I was inputting the wrong info.

Thanks

Welcome to the world of things that do not make sense.

USCIS claims they process petitions in the order that they are received and uses the receipt date for this purpose. They also use the receipt date to calculate if a petition has gone beyond the 6 month service level commitment.

VJ instructs members to enter the notice date from the hard copy of the NOA1 as the NOA1 date on timelines. However, they use the sent date when applying the algorithm that calculates the projected adjudication date (PAD). They feel strongly that the sent date is the best date to use for this purpose because it is the closest to the received date.

Despite this, VJ refuses to change the timeline so that people are entering the received date for their NOA1 date. It makes no sense to me. The notice date can be delayed for months and some people receive multiple notice dates. I went round and round with Captain Ewok without any luck. He feels that historically the notice date and the received date was almost always the same and is confident that will eventually be the case again.

Lora

I’ve asked them to explain the discrepancy in responses. I’ll let you know when I get an answer.

Take care!

I Just recieved this from the Senators office......the problem is I have recieved the same notice from them since November 1 when they told me the same thing....Now it is 30 days later and I get the same response........OMG....Help Us

This is the response I just received:

A88 376 875---the case is with an adjudicating officer for processing as of 11/28/07 and the petitioner should be hearing from this office in approximately 30 more days.

WHY?? THATS way after the 6 month processing? Who are we to turn to? Who IS going to help? Who is going to stand up and make demands for us? What? We are to just WAIT and put our lives on hold? Not me...I will do some searching as to what can be done....time for floods of more letters?? Maybe more press articles?? Come on...this is soooooo not acceptable...

Who said that.....the Senators office or USCIS?......because if it is your Senator you do have recourse to that.......b##ch at the Senator him or herself...they are elected.......If USCIS keep calling and writing.......this is the most screwed up process I have ever seen........SCREAMING...oops the monitor went off.......O.K....I am out of this place.....home to cook dinner and have a big glass of red wine.....good for my heart........

I called the WHITE HOUSE. Was advised to call the HOMELAND SECURITY DEPARTMENT and ask for the NATURALIZATION AND IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT. They did not answer after 4pm today...but I WILL be calling back on Monday with my complaint. May I suggest we ALL call...with numbers, statistics and how the processing is so out of order. I will be demanding that they pull my file, April and May files that still need worked to have them expedited. I think at this point its only fair. The issues to point out are:

1. The mismanagement of the site to adequately be prepared for the fee increase and the issues surrounding the H1 visas. That they were not properly staffed and we as "customers" should not have to be penalized for that.

2. Due to misinformation, lost/misplaced crates we are making this request

3. That if this process was managed properly, we, as April, May, June Filers should have been on an adjudicators desk LONG before AUGUST filers are approved or even TOUCHED.

4. That most of us are nearing, at or OVER the processing times while others filing months after us are now being worked.

The number to call is 202-282-8000. Please...if you really mean what you say about tired of waiting, or if you have offered support...call....

I'll call first thing Monday and see who we need to address these issues to.

Any more suggestions?

I WILL be calling. I love that they all already went home at 4 p.m. So friggin typical. I will be calling first thing Monday morning!!!!!! The problem I seem to get though when I call about my case etc, is the response "well, maybe there is something special about your case", "maybe your name check hasn't come back yet", etc. HOW CAN THEY SAY THIS? Even so, people in August should not be in front of me. PERIOD!!!! I never know how to give a satisfactory answer to those responses. Thats when I get all flustered!

Anybody else get a leter from VSC about the chocololate? :

Dear Sir?Madam:

The Vermont Service Center has received several boxes of chocolates from you. Although we appreciate your generosity, we are unable to accept such gifts. Therefore, we have donated these gifts to a local charity.

blah, blah, we will get to your case when hell freezes over ... "Your petition will be adjudicated based on the order in which it was received."

That's richer than the chocolates - the order in which it was received!!!

At least it went to charity. I bet there were quite a few boxes based on the pasts I've seen
