Ok you don't get it. It's not worth discussing with you. You clearly believe everyone is out to get you for being expedited. No one hates Filipinos for getting expedited. People hate your willful ignorance and disbelief despite the facts and evidence that you're not getting a TEMPORARY special service due to last year's typhoon. I'm done.
To the OP, I'm sorry that your post was hijack by someone's feelings. I think your question has been answered by other posters. . .

LOL lies! You can believe that if you want to, if it makes you feel better, but so many people who applied before you most likely did the same thing you did, which was follow the instructions to the T and yet they are still waiting. Whether you want to admit it or not, your petition was expedited for simply coming from the Philippines. Philippines based petition don't count because they are in a special expedited category of their own that only Filipino petitioners are benefiting from. Stop wallowing in ignorance and look at the updated timelines of petitions from the Philippines and see the quick approval ratings of those compared to that of other countries and petitioners. Don't get me wrong, everyone is happy for any couple reunited, but in the case for the Philippines, the majority of which which are expedited whether effected by the typhoon or not, their cases can't be held to the same standard as everyone else. If anything, while the Philippines have the most K1 petitions of any country, the fact that they are still being expedited is proven by the fact that nearly every daily approval has a Filipino benefactor approved in 1 month, two months top. Just saying what everyone is thinking and too polite to say for fear of being banned from the thread or having their comment removed.
BTW Original Poster, I don't think the VJ estimated timeline really matter since people don't update their timelines like they should and it doesn't seem to to take in account the transfers - at least for TSC.

Glad you think so, you who received your approval in about 2 months time while other people are clearly complaining about their wait time. . .

I don't think so. I got curious a few days ago and looked to see how many transfers did not occur and I think there is a huge number of April and May filers still ahead of us at TSC. We all jumped to the conclusion that with the transfers, they would skip right on into June - at least I did - until I remembered there are still large number of nontransfers waiting. I was hoping that with transfers that would speed things up from the predicted 8 - 9 month wait. It did, but I think our wait time is going to be right at 5 - 6 months with the way TSC is lagging, meaning approximately mid November - late December approvals for a lot of us. I had high hopes for TSC after the transfers, but it's sad that the transfers at CSC are getting approved faster than some March and April filers still waiting. As of now, standard 5-6 month wait or not, I have nothing but sheer hatred and contempt for TSC and our congress on their inability to reform our sad sack of an immigration system right now. . .

Excellent! Good for you guys, I've been rooting for you! And I can tell you're military too like me, I just left Killeen this morning lol

everyone knows what anxiety is regardless of their wait time. the difference is how much sooner do you file compared to someone else. can we stop comparing wait times? everyone has a long excruciating wait. people who waited longer are way closer than people who filed recently so is their wait really that bad compared to someone else who knows they have months ahead compared to the person who is almost at the finish line? stop down playing people's wait. filing time does not determine the last time you saw your loved one . . . .

conservatives rather use hate than logic . . .

I'm in Germany pretty frequently and based on my experience of having lived there as a child and my frequent trips there monthly, it is no different than the US. Sure some things there are more practical but America is so big, it's hard to say the whole country as a whole is unsafe. As long as you have the love and support of your fiance none of the other stuff from other people matters. He will be with you every step of the way. And trust me, there are plenty German people living in the US. My close friend's husband is just got his AOS approved and he's German. Lol not to mention the many German wives of military men lol! Try to visit a few times and get a feel for life in the US . . .

You know, more irritating than the CSC filers on a TSC thread grinning about how the got their NOA2 after a short wait is a filer who has waited longer than someone else and feels the need to remind them and the rest of world. You clearly haven't read or understood the original post which brings attention to the fact that us newer filers realize it's a long wait, we know it's a long wait, and just like arrogant filers like you, we're anxious to be reconnected with our loved ones. It clearly is meant to be interpreted that knowing this, as our hearts aren't on the same page as our minds, this doesn't stop us from anxiously checking the status of other filers in hopes that theirs will be spread up faster or maybe even workload transfer will occur so that this long wait will go by faster. All of us going through TSC are waiting for the same outcome, so please go sit in your chair and calm your itchy fingers before you and any other TSC filer who has issues with us describing our personal experiences feelings with wait times feel the need to give your two cents. You ain't slick throwing out a shady good luck message as if that's supposed to make your comment less rude. Madness, you and other people walking around like your wait time and separation from your loved one is worse than anyone else because you filed sooner. . .

You've pretty much got it right. I'm describing how you know in your head that it's senseless to keep checking visa journey, but you do it anyway. I'm happy CSC filers have a short wait, and yes I wish ours could be just as short. But no I am not discouraged by the fast CSC approval in comparison with TSC. I made the post to see how others could relate to similar feelings. We knew going in this would be a long wait but knowing that doesn't make it any easier. Checking everyday is kinda like a mantra, we're one day closer to that NOA2 . . .

I'm finding it really hard not to come to Visa Journey every couple of hours and stalk the forums, process times, and timelines. I'm trying to come maybe every other week, but it's like sitting on your hands so that you don't do something you know you shouldn't. I even make it my mission not to look at anything associated with CSC. Is anyone else having that problem?

Yeah, you do. It sucks, it really does when someone gets theirs before you and you've been waiting a long time. But I don't have any hate or resent toward them because they got there faster. I'm happy for them. One more couple is that much more closer to being together. You knew when you signed up for this the system was rigged and unfair. You're so caught all up in your feelings.My time is coming, just as yours.The wait is long and hard, but the way our government likes to play games, you can't put it past them to pull something slick and put a few months on the back burner and get something more recent first. So again why are you mad at a poster questioning his chances of having his petition pulled faster when so many others with similar backgrounds are having a better wait time than most? Be mad at the system, not the reality and validity of his question when the evidence is so clear when you pull up the past history . . .

Dude chill out. I'm a June filer too and would I love for my petition to be expiated so I can move on with my life? Of course. No one is saying forget the previous filers who have not yet received their NOA2, but let's be honest. Everyone wants their petition to go fast as possible, not just filers who have waited a long time. Furthermore, the fact that in my opinion K1s from the Philippines are still being expiated and he happens to be a fliler with beneficiary from the Philippines, and other Filipino K1s are rolling pretty fast, he has every right to wonder if his will be too. Some of y'all previous filiers need to chill out with all the animosity towards more recent filers who want their petitions speed up just like you do. Just because you've had a long wait does not mean it's any easier for someone who is clearly going to have wait as long as if not longer than you. Madness. Nobody is trying to take your spot in this long line, like for real guy, good grief. . .
