Its interesting reading everyone's comment, especially with the extreme lack of empathy and insensitivity demonstrated by all. We are all brothers/sisters in the journey. The dude came with a legitimate concern and great worry, but instead of sticking to the facts of the case many are busy JUDGING HIS FAMILY??? Wow!!!.... Great job guys. Hope yall don't get RFEs.

Thank God we are back on topic.
I hope the rest of the CSC applicants receive a speedy approval. I also hope VSC officers buy some coffee and get to work.
Glad to be back on topic. TGIF

Dude, you should be happy and thanking God you have been approved. Many people who filed before you have still not heard anything. No offense, but You should be wishing others luck instead of whinning about not receiving your card just 2 weeks after it has been approved.

I did some analysis, and found some good news to comfort everyone while they wait on VSC. Based on the high number of applicants on VJ, I would like to assume that our numbers is a good representative sample of overall applicants for each month. VSC has never been super fast, but they sure have never been this slow or backed-up (they just started working on June applicants). What I noticed was that the months of March-April-May-June is the reason for this backlog (LONGER wait). During these months, VJ shows there were between 43 to 55 applicants per month to VSC.(try and extrapolate this to the thousands that are applying per month). For some reason, this number dropped significantly from the month of July 2011 till now. In fact, the month of October has only 15 applicants to VSC while December has 17 applicants. The average however from June 2011 to Jan 2012 seems somewhere around 25 applicants per month. THIS IS CLOSE TO HALF AS MANY AS THOSE THAT APPLIED in the months of March-April-May.
More evidence to my overall point::::: On the USCIS website, the time frame for I-751 has always been 6 months. However, when they started processing the applications of April applicants (2 months ago), for the first time in forever, they increased the time to 7.1 months. In fact, if you have been following the comments of members of VJ, those who were expecting to hear from USCIS and called them were told for a very long period of time that USCIS is still working on April 4th applications. This generic answer just changed to May 2nd applicants recently.
My final point is that, we have reason to smile. Once the June applicants are finished with, the process would go almost 2x fast than it has been going for these last 3 months. Hence, we probably wont have to wait for 8 months as many of the May 2011 and June 2011 applicants have to. We will however still have to wait for almost 6 months (or just a little less) as it has always been. Definitely a reason to smile. I will really love to get this done with before I start my last year of Pharmacy school.
Have a good weekend guys.......
