(used RFE trick)

Rep asked for receipt number.

They said that they received it on July 27th and it is still processing. Since they are only processing petitions from June 18, I should expect about another month.

When I said that I was concerned because they are processing October petitions, she replied, "Nope, it's still just sitting there."

When I said that I was concerned because they are processing October petitions, she replied, "Nope, it's still just sitting there."

So she did not say anything about why Sept. and Oct. are being processed in advance of those left in July????

Aug. 16-called about Hard Copy...said that they would resend (3rd time) from CSC

Aug. 17-"touch"

I really don't feel bad for it. It is absurd that they can't offer true support to people who have been waiting WAY too long. May was 8 months ago. There are many people getting approvals in 3 months now. Those people that have waited too long and deserve genuine answers.

So she did not say anything about why Sept. and Oct. are being processed in advance of those left in July????

Does that not seem strange to them???? Are we the only normal people that can see this is ludicrous!!!!!!

Nope, she dodged the question like a politician.

I emailed a couple of people who sent in in July to see if they had just failed to update their timeline....

Erin and Koska (Greece...July 30) received theirs in Dec. and had not updated but have now...

That puts those who sent in in July down to 23.

I just may have to call the VSC again out of pure FRUSTRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you get any "Nope, still waiting" replies?

I got one response so far saying that they received their NOA2 in Dec. and had not updated but did so yesterday...

I went back and looked at those that their applications were received in July by VSC and their NOA1 was received by them by the

end of Sept. ( did this because some people were delayed..but they go by the date that it was received at the VSC.)

Anyway...I actually counted 26 that are still waiting...however there are probably some that have not updated their timelines...

Maybe I will here from the others I emailed (about 5 others)...
