OCTOBER FILERS

[LuciansGirl 0]

Yay for AdricandMichelle and LuciansGirl!!!!

Welcome to the fun of... well... fun might be an overstatement, but at times like these I find it's better to aim for overstating... So yes, the fun of waiting!

Other than the excitement of NOA1s, we got touched on Sunday!!! What kind of crazy person is working on a Sunday... I don't know, but good for them for their dedication! Although most likely they are doing some weird Flex thing and working sunday to thursday or something like that... Who knows! But action was taken! Even if it was just to scan it and read the cover letter.

Good luck everyone and may God grant us patience!

Kate

Thanks KateandNik!!!

Yes, we need a patience of a saint and prayers do work. I've never prayed so hard my entire life!!

I hope everyone has a smooth and speedy process!!

Hi everyone, just found the tread. We are October filers and wish all of you the best of luck!

By the way. For those of you that filed with the VSC, does it seem they are processing more NOA2s? Maybe I am looking at this wrong....

July - 23 NOA2s

Aug - 19 NOA2s

Sept - 9 NOA2s

Oct - 20 NOA2s

Nov - 28 NOA2s through November 12, 2007

I sure hope that extra 200 employees at the VSC are paying some dividends!

I have a dumb question, I think I know the answer but still I'm not sure ( Can't make up my mind obviously!) My fiance sent the I-129F packet 31st of October thru FedEx and CSC received it the next day 1st of November, technically can my fiance be considered as a October filer or November filer? Please clarify this!!! This is a major dilemma!

It will be the received date, not noa1--cuz ur noa1 in some cases might not get sent for weeks after. But either way, you are still Nov. Good Luck!

ST. ALBANS CITY –– St. Albans received a major economic boost today with the announcement that as many as 300 federal jobs will be added to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service Center’s (USCIS) Vermont facilities, 200 of them in St. Albans.

It is my understanding, the new employees will be helping with the backlog for not only for the VSC but the other three service centers as well. This just took place so I would be sure it will take awhile for them to be trained. Hopefully they will help with some of this backlog of July and August filers and we can see some improvement in the timelines. That is my hope, but only time will tell.

We are really hoping that these new employees speed things along, as all of you are. The waiting sucks!! I don't know why, but we've been together for over a year and have waited for so many things, but this wait is the hardest. I just hope everything goes smooth and we'll be together soon. Is anyone else going crazy yet?

Also, I have tried several times to add one of those countdown sigs to my posts and I can't figure it out. Any advice? Thanks

I believe they will process the petition in the order received going by the receipt date they list in the NOA1.

Whether you consider yourself an "October filer" or "November filer" isn't really critical. I would say the day your fiance sent it is the day you filed it, which makes you an October filer, but you should probably check in with both the October and November threads since the people whose petitions are closest in time to yours are the people who filed both at the end of October and the beginning of November.

Good luck!

By the way, does anyone know if CSC has hired additional employees as well? Laguna Niguel is an awfully pretty place, so if they are hiring and you all know anyone looking for a job.......

Hi all, I have been waiting and I am running out of steam....... This process should move faster especially with the extra money it costs....... I hope these employees start soon and get the process moving.

Let's hope we get a good update on the CSC Processing Times page - let's hope we get a Six Months up there rather than the (possible) May 12th!!!

It's almost thanksgiving!!! I'm excited because I get to go home, which is the next best thing to going to see my fiance!

Anyway, welcome to all you new people! As for being an October or November filer... I agree with the people saying to use the receipt date, not the NOA1 date! Because if we used our NOA1 date we'd almost be a November filer even though we sent it October 1st!

I really wish I were a fly on the wall of the CSC... I wanna see what the lady/man is doing with our case file! The posts relating the inner workings of the service center are just enough to whet my appetite, but not enough to quench any sort of hunger for information!!! Oh well, a little knowledge is better than nothin' I guess.

Keep up hope everyone!!!

Hi everyone. We're also October filers! I never received a NOA1, but apparently they received it! YAY!

[stuartx13 3]

Welcome.

Well, I filed in September - 6th of September.

Then I got my forms back on 24th because, they said, I had sent one of the forms - for Advanced Parole, to the wrong center. I checked the instructions and couldnt find anything wrong. I called and eventually spoke with an agent in LA who said he couldnt understand either. He gave me a problem desk to send to at Chicago.

The application was accepted this time and the receipt date was down as 1st October.

I received my Employment Authorization on 9th November and my Advanced Parole around 27th October. so now I am sitting tight awaiting the rest.

Very strange but relieved to now have a work card and be able to go to UK for Christmas.......

Nov - "50" NOA2s through November 20, 2007! The pace is picking up. I hope the trend will continue!
