How's everyone doing?

Just finished reading the USCIS testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on January 17, 2008. Here's a paragraph from it:

Where Does this Take Us?

This surge will have a serious impact on application processing times for the next couple

of years. As a result, based on our response plan, most customers will wait much longer

to have their applications completed. As we have reported, the average processing time

for naturalization applications has increased from the current average of seven months or

less to approximately 18 months. Family-based adjustment-of-status applications

increased from the current average of six months or less to 12 months. Our two-year

response plan will help us accomplish reducing processing times to six months by the

third quarter of Fiscal Year 2010.

Here's the full release: http://www.uscis.gov/files/testimony/testi...ETG_17jan08.pdf

Now are you pissed (LOL)????

I believe that they are talking about something else not the k-visas.

~Hello

I've waited here for you

Everlong~

No word on my file, no touches, emails.. zilch! My partner (he's actually from Australia) is getting very impatient.. We live in England atm and are wanting to move back to Texas where all of my family are, get married have the white picket fence.. 2.5 kids.. you know the story..! Although, we've been living half of that dream for the past four years now!

It's nice to see that some October filers are receiving approvals well before the max 6 months tho! Especially ones who have filed with Vermont SC.. woo hoo!! What made those go faster than others though? I know every situation is different, but to those who did get approved within 3-4 months - what helped that?!

Anyway.. Having come on here has helped put my mind at ease a little bit at least.. mainly because I do see progress for other people, it at least gives me a bit of hope that perhaps tomorrow i can open my email up (maybe not though as today is MLK day!!) and find that we've been approved onto the next level!!

We shall see..

Welcome, Halle. Word on the street (lol) is that someone at the USCIS opened the wrong box and started processing October's instead of continuing on with June and July. This is just rumor, of course, and good luck getting anyone at the USCIS to admit to it.

I know the feelings your fiance is having. I have them every day, all day. I check the USCIS website about 15 times a day- I KNOW what he's going thru.

Good luck on your petition- on all of our petitions.

Just finished reading the USCIS testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on January 17, 2008. Here's a paragraph from it:

They're talking about citizenship applications, not K-1 visa applications.

That's the stuff that will affect (or is it effect?--brainfart) our SOs later?

They're talking about citizenship applications, not K-1 visa applications.

I'm wondering if maybe CSC is redirecting some of their resources to concentrate more on the citizenship applications. This would explain why the K1 approvals have slowed to a trickle lately. I remember reading a newspaper article saying that they wanted to approve as many naturalizations as possible so people could vote in the next elections.

Of course, I feel bad for people waiting forever for their citizenship...but at least they are in the US, unless us 'alien fiance(e)s' who are left waiting outside the gates! Let me in! Let me in!

Can anyone explain how the “timeline” function on this site calculates its results? While you’re viewing forum posts, look to the left side of your screen and you’ll see the poster’s information. Near the bottom of that person’s info are the words “my timeline”.

There are two of us that have the same exact dates for our NOA1, there’s only one difference- mine is at CSC and the other is at VSC. Yet when I compare mine to the other, mine says: “Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated as early as April 9, 2008*.” When I look at the other it says, “Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated as early as February 27, 2008*.”

Are the CSC and VSC facilities really that much different? Am I missing something in the calculations?

Yes that has a lot to do with it because the VSC has been faster so thats why date are not the same.

[Meridien 0]

Yep, at the moment VSC and CSC really are that different. Sigh.
