This is what it say..
K1 processing times and disorganization with USCISThe disorganization and processing times regarding the K1 visa (129f) need to be addressed immediately. Thousands of people are putting their lives on hold and can't even choose a wedding date thanks to the long waits we have to endure while receiving no information for months and months. Thousands of petitions are moved around the country. Service centers remain stagnant for months and months and yet we still remain uninformed. People should not be punished for applying for visas legally.

Got my NOA2 saying my petition was forwarded to the 'listed consulate' but no consulate was listed. Ad when I called a second time the operator told me all I-129f cases must go through the NVC. Has anyone else had that on their NOA2 is it accurate? Do petitions get sent to consulate directly sometimes???

I-129 petitions are not the only forms they are processing. If they are directed to also do other types of petitions, they must learn how to complete those. At least TSC is approving 8-12 petitions a day still. Look at igors list. VSC has not completed a I-129 in 2 days. The dates of the approvals are the ones that were transfered. Also do not forget to check TSC numbers on Igors list. Several people changed their processing centers when they were transfered. If they process 10 people fron VJ, that only represents about 5% of total applications. So 10 approvals is actually 200. I know it is difficult to wait, but there is nothing we can do but wait. I am in the same boat as I was transfered to TSC. We are getting approved faster at TSC than we were at VSC. Things are good. Look at CSC. They didn't approve any I-129f for almost 3 months, people were waiting up to 10 months for approval.

Keep the fight alive everyone and remember why we all started this process. We knew that the trenches here would be deep, but we would push through them. Keep pushing and remain positive and tell yourself that toxic thoughts have no place in your relationships. If you are over 5 1/2 to 6 months processing time start contacting (call, it's quicker) your Senator's or Congressmen's office, pick one or both. I went with Senator Toomey here in PA. Being over the processing time gives you a right to inquiry about your petition and to have a government official become involved. So get them involved, and tell them about how your petition is past the processing time of the original Vermont center. Tell them how you were transfered around, communication muddled, and how you want to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Talk with them about your case and how you feel, they are here to help you. After all you may/may not have voted them into office and so it is your right; you could about face at the next election and either decide to vote for them this time or against them. Do the infopass if you are within driving distance of a center and talk to them (USCIS) face to face, as calling them on the phone is too easy for them to be abrupt and vague.

My heart does go out to those who are still waiting, and ones who are waiting even longer than we did. I want to be excited and happy, and start planning for the next step, but I find it more difficult knowing that many of you are still waiting. So get proactive, and get the information you seek. Start knocking on the doors of the USCIS and your Senator's office. Emotions may be running high right now, but remember kindess goes a long way to getting what you want. If you have already been knocking, keep knocking to the point where they will do what they can to get you to stop.

This may be easy for me to say in retrospect but it's something I was thinking while waiting for my NoA2, with each approval I saw everyday I knew that was one less petition in my way for our approval. So keep the fight alive folks, and you will get there too.

No offense taken! It just struck me odd that someone would want to stop any discussion on something relative to our cases...no harm no foul...I already have a thread and think I should take the sleuthing there. Well wishing is great and does keep up the spirits, so please continue...I dont want to offend anyone either...
Good luck everyone!!!

Thanks to everyone for their efforts!

AMEN!
