Vermont Approvals

[Army_Wife 2]

Hello fellow VSC filers,

As we've noticed there has been a slight trickle of approvals coming from VSC, which is superb .... well done VSC and a pat on the back for you

.... however, I just wanted to ask, as Pushbrk pointed it out last night, has anyone noticed that they may be going by the NOA1 dates ???? Pushbrk specifically said they do, and appears at times to not only know what he is talking about, but seems to know so much that I'm thinking he may work for USCIS obviously, I'm only basing my presumption on his input on this website.

This is an interesting point though, as a lot of those left from 2007 have NOA1's from December/January time, and that's what seems to be getting approved .... if you look at the NOA1 dates.

But most importantly, what I have noticed is, CSC K1 approvals are pretty much at a standstill, and yet CSC are pumping out the I-130 approvals .... and guess what ??? ..... VSC are beginning the slowdown by the looks of it on the K1's too .... don't want to get you all over excited, but are the floodgates about to open ??

Or am I just trying to over analyze a totally illogical situation ??

Although, I am not in the same boat you are I have wondered the same thing. I just would like to know how they are doing this. Is there a method to their madness? I just saw someone for a K1 visa get approved and their NOA1 date was 3/8/08 at Vermont. We sent our to CSC at the beginning of February 2008. I'm trying to stay positive and not get discouraged, but it's hard sometimes. I think I would feel better if I knew how and why they did the things they did. But I guess we will never know.

Ilya, I think we should see what happens in a couple of weeks. The K1's haven't stopped completely at VSC yet, but the wheels at last are beginning to slow down ..... I'm still skeptical to a certain degree, but, this does seem to be a good sign.

Plus you've a January NOA1, if my guess work and Pushbrk is correct, it shouldn't be too much longer .....

I am a K-3 filer but have had a couple of touches on my I-130 in the last 2 days from VSC. Today though I got an RFE. Dont know why but at least they must be working on our case. So Sarah Jayne may well be right about some approvals starting to come through as we are in that time frame she pointed out. Maybe they were ready to approve ours but wanted some extra evidence, and may well do it when we mail it back. I will let you all know when I find out what they want.

Anyway - it does seem to appear that things may start to move at VSC.

Dave, you've had touches ?? .... the last couple to get touches who mentioned it yesterday were approved within hours of starting their 'touched' thread!!! ..... oh I hope there's no RFE, and just an approval notice.

My fellow Cornishman, I really wish you well on this one ..... this little Cornish Maid is really excited for you ... this sounds promising, maybe my insane analyzation could be right

Got another touch today on the I130!!!

That's 2 days in a row. Could it be that my case is moving along??

Still nothing on the I129F I really want the k3, but I guess at this point I can handle either.

Cornishman......you received an RFE?!?!?!?! after this long of waiting? you we're notified by mail or email? Just wondering in case this may happen with me. Good luck. Maybe some approvals are on the way.

I really hope they approve you Jon, you are way overdue, even if you get an RFE thats better than nothing because atleast then you can be almost sure you will get the approval after you submit the evidence.

RFE by email, so we have to wait for the hard copy to find out what its all about. Apparently that could take 10 days to arrive. I had a touch late last night just before going to bed on the I-130, and another today which was the RFE. Nothing on the I-129f since 9th April, which I think was an address change. Oh - I wonder if thats got something to do with it? Who knows, I'll guess I'll find out in a week or so and I will let you all know then. I do think you are right though Sarah Jayne and I'm sure things will start to happen soon. Jon - two days of touches can only be a good thing. You are well overdue and I bet you'll be telling us all of an approval in the next few days. I hope so!

Sarah, I really hope that VSC pump out aproovals like CSC. I hope all of us get our too along with CSC members. I hate being apart from my husband. Unfortunely, VSC is the slowest of all. even the TSC is up ahead. Hopefully VSC will start to move sooner then we think.

Hello fellow VSC filers,

I think you are right Sarah Now people started posting their approvals BTW, I had a "touch" on my I-129F yesterday, but the status still shows "Case received and Pending". I wish it should stay like that until the interview is over, so that no confusion with K-3.

BTW, I need an expert advice - should I inform anybody (VSC, NVC or U.S Consulate) in writing to invalidate the pending I-129F ???

Sarah, when are you showing us your happy face here? I want to see that before my vacation starts

LOL ....sarah ..is VSC opening floodgates .... ...damn but I donot have floodinsurance though.. i guess i need to stay in upstairs...

Just to let you know guys ...I spoke to one of VSC officers yesterday ..by using RFE...first of all he does not know what he is talking about ..He told me he cannot give any info on my case ...call same number but donot enter receipt number ...or check on online ....blah blah ..etc

Secondly he told me they donot have enough staff....hiring more ppl and training them at another facility ...bringing them back to work ...this process is going to take 2-3 months ...then things may get better...etc

Sarah and LOTO ...etc...here is an idea I think we need to suggest USCIS(VSC etc) ...we can do volunteer work (without pay ) for a week or so ...rotating all VJ'ers every week at service centers ...that way gov save money and it reduces ISD symptoms lol ....I am ready for volunteer work lol

Reehon, just hold on for a bit longer .... you've got an NOA1 date a few days before I have in February ..... it really looks like they're moving on the December NOA1's ..... and hopefully there should be some more approvals on those in the coming couple of weeks .... then it'll be the turn of the January NOA1's (of which there doesn't seem too many of) .... and then it's us February NOA1's.

Let's see where we are on May 31st .... just 4 more weeks Reehon and we should hopefully have a much better idea.

Relax my lovely .... I too hate being apart from my Husband, and we all know on here just how much it burns.

Over the next couple of weeks, just start preparing your paperwork for NVC, it will keep your mind off it all

Look at my thread here and start getting your stuff together, as that will save you panicking when you do get approved

Loto, personally, I'd let the I-129F ride and see what happens .... there really haven't been much in the way of K3 approvals out of VSC, if any, you could be one of the few ..... but then your I-129F could be in the hands of a dyslexic

I'd love to show you a happy face on here before your vacation .... but I'm guessing another few weeks (maybe around the end of May) .... unless VSC starts going hell for leather .... which is possible, they've done it before, and they could do it again.

It would be great if my file was in the hands of 'your' adjudicator .... that person was fast!

At least NVC has a faster system in place which will shave off time.

I think we'll all feel a lot happier when we see a few more VSC approvals.

Sgr, I'm more than happy to step in and do some volunteer work for VSC ..... oh, that's right, I need my visa

Funny you should mention that they do not have enough staff, I was thinking the same thing ..... however, I'm sure there's tons of illegals that would gladly help them out for some cash 'under the table' .... this system of employment seems to work very well for British Immigration
