Has anyone from May-June called VSC lately??

The last person from June that called was fed the same line of ####### that they have been giving for months.

I called the rfe line and got that I had to wait for 60 days after they recieved the rfe before they would check the pulse of the adjudicator....then they may realize they are not WORKING.....because they are dead......

Oh man. did you seriously ask if they were dead?! please tell me you did!!!

charlene, i called last monday to file a request for inquiry and was told the dates had changed, shut up, and wait.

I asked if they could check the pulse for me.....the guy laughed....I told him I knew CPR if needed...then he said you would get an answer soon

that was a week ago so......soon means???????????????????

any time in the next three months, silly.

Listen, they have to give us our approvals or RFE's or whatever sooner or later....

Amusingly enough, I don't think that anyone at VSC thinks that.

Has anyone heard from Virgil or Ric........did I miss there approvals.........they have been MIA for a couple of days.........

Hey Lora. Oh man work has been so insane that today I took a mental health day and went out for a while and bought things to spoil my cat with.

No touches. No approval. No word back from my senator. I'll probably call tomorrow to make sure they actually recieved the fax that sent last monday/ it went to correct office.

Yay for progress in Camp Mirla, though!! Haven't seen Virgil about though.

Good to hear from you......wish you would hear something though.........Mental health days are a necessary fact of life for early June filers at this point....I talked with Virgil and he is waiting for answers from everyone also.....what a nightmare.......Every morning I wake up and hope this is the day for all of us........I just do not get it.........They approve October.....89 days after they file and we are pushing to 230 and nothing........I have just about lost my mind that is why I going to Peru for a chance to reconnect and decompress..........I really hope soon we will move from this hole called VSC.....and then move as fast as Mirla the rest of the way..........

Hopefully you will! London is taking two or three months for an interview, but I can wait at that point, easy enough. As long as I know the end is actually coming, I can deal! We're not putting his notice in that he's leaving until he's approved anyway, and that'll be another month at least. But I'd like to get a move on!

I keep thinking when I sign in that I'll have gotten a touch, at least, but no. I seriously, just think they lost it, even if they said its with an adjudicator. If that was the case I'd get a touch, and they've been saying that since Thanksgiving. Maybe my adjudicator took a REALLY LONG holiday vacation.. thanksgiving through Valentines.

Still laughing about the cheetos thing tho. still funny 12 hours later. I sent that to Pete too.

Hmmm, not sure if this is civil or not, kind of subjective that, but it's a sign of the times I guess ...

An adjudicator went to his doctor recently complaining that his weenie turned orange.

The doctor asked "has anything unusual been happening with your activities lately?"

The adjudicator replied, "No, I was working from home yesterday on some I129f petitions, while watching TV and eating some Cheetos ..."

*dies* oh man Virgil. That was the best laugh I've had in ages. Thanks!!

Eh, I"m okay. I'm so far passed expectations that its moved onto funny. Laughing about it is the only option you have that won't turn you prematurely grey anyway.

I just wanted to figure out when I could at least put in a service inquiry as to what the holdup was.

Thanks!!

Hey guys. I jsut worked ten hours straight and my brain isnt' working when I try and figure this out. How do you figure 30 days out of processing .. for a date?

If I understand your question right, it would mean that say your 6-month mark is was December 30, then 30 days out of that would be January 30 or later.

I think.

Yeah but they aren't saying 'six months' anymore. They're saying 'currently processing June 18'

so.. is it not six months anymore at all? Is it June 18th plus six months plus one month? my brain baffles.

Hi all,

Some movement (congrats to recent approvals!), but obviously not enough. Sigh...

Nice job with the lists, thanks!

Seems like you have some computer skills ... myabe you'd be interested in hacking the vsc computers for a special mission??

HaHaHa....I think that is a felony........but I think what VSC is doing is a crime

Hey guys. I jsut worked ten hours straight and my brain isnt' working when I try and figure this out. How do you figure 30 days out of processing .. for a date?

30 days past our recieve date....so that should be now for you Ric....oh by the way this person on the other thread is ragging on me for not think VSC is doing a great job.......please.......

I saw that. I know. Ignore it. Good behavior is boring and we all desperately need a place to vent some frustration.

We got another touch today........I will believe it when I see it.....I am getting so bitter about this......I almost can not even be happy for it.....

I'll be happy for it. It hurts my heart that nobody from June has been approved in days and days and days and days. Since before the holidays at least. Still waiting on my congressman. I sent over a privacy notice they don't require just to see if that'd give them a poke. I doubt it will, and I'll have to call next, which I hate doing because it feels like I'm nagging.

But seriously, this sucks.

But I think there should be a forum party when Lora and Mirla gets theirs.

what's a privacy notice?

Technically speaking no one is allowed to view your case without you present for the call. It's a waiver form.

*dies* My congressperson told me that realistically this should take a year. USCIS is ####### and underfunded and if we push now they'll just ignore them. A YEAR. And I can call back in a month if I haven't heard anything.

%#*$%

I wonder if I should send my petition in again this month ... Maybe I'll get an noa2 in a few weeks like some of these others and I can just cancel the old one???

HAHAHHA!! Seriously.

All right, some more news which make me feel really,I mean really good:

The Congressman's office just called back.

They said Vermont gave them the info that our petition should be approved maybe in early March.....

That is the info the Congressman's office gave us several minutes ago....

I mean, yeah,makes perfect sense.....Vermont is too occupied with approving October petitions right now....

Pardon me????? Early March???? That would be like 8 months waiting......This is all f*cked up! :lol:

I think eight months is their number because they're getting that bad with their older petitions. Lora is at like seven and a quarter.. Virgil and I are just over seven months.

There's still time virgillionaire....

Hmmm ... that's true. Maybe like last time I can ask everyone to pitch in

Hey Virgil...man do not give up....You know there are still those of us right there with you........I understand your frustration....I am not the type of person to fake my emotions to be polite........I am just as upset as you about August, September and now October being approved while You and Ric and charlene and I sit in limbo.....VSC can bite me....I hate them....you know that they are the largest collection of simple mindiness I can think of.....stupid is the other word that comes to mind....hosed....inept....I begrudge no one there visa but you are allowed to be pissed off about the unfairness of this system....Hang on my friend.....This to shall pass

Thanks, Lora. It definitely helps. Inept is a good word. Leave some files untouched for 7 months, well past 'commit' time, then approve files 2 months old?? Mind boggling. I don't have any expectations from them anymore, so it's a little easier to put it on the backburner. Just have to grin and bear it like Mirla and make fun of vsc

It is kinda stress relieving to make fun of them. It really is. THey still drive me nuts with their antics and the processing time change really takes the cake but...

i don't care if they want to pick their noses all day, play spinny chairs, have naps, doodle with crayons, play shadow puppets in the bathroom.. whatever

Eventually, whoever is sitting on our files is going to get Spoken To. There's no reason for files to take seven to eight months. No reason at all.

Great news Lora. We should be seeing your approval soon

from your fingers on the keyboard to God's ears

That's awesome Lora! :D Let's keep the good vibes and you'll see it will come sooner than what you think

Syl, I haven't done a service request on my case.....can I do it? Will it make any difference?????

I think you have to have not heard anything from them in 60 days. (like emails or papers back and forth) But you can try!

Thank you everyone... we are thrilled...we hope to have the interview over within the next 2 months...then wait again...Some seem to be approved within the month, some 3 months, some 6 months with a few a year or more still waiting through Cairo..pray for us that we are one of the speedy ones.

Great news Faith!!!!

Congrats steph and Faith!!

Come on VSC. (maybe this will work!!)

Congrats to all recently approved ...

Mitch called his congressman's office yesterday. The lady on the phone took our EAC number and names and said she would get back to us....

Do you guys think the congressman's office can (or wants) to help at all?

Hard to say. The first time I asked my congressman to look into it was just after six months and I was told someone was working on it, if i havent' heard by january I could ask them to check for me again. I resubmitted my request the other day, but haven't heard anything.

They might help you out, but they don't make anybody do anything.

What did one adjudicator say to the other adjudicator??

Can I borrow your crayons!!!

Do you think they eat paste and take naps to?

.. the naps would explain a lot.

All of the September approvals are getting really annoying. It seems like the first 2 weeks in September should be finished soon.

Don't be silly, they are not processing september now!! I have that on the authority of Don, ID (short for IDiot) 138LM - a supervisor from customer service!!!

They are only up to June 18, which has mysteriously appeared as the current processing date for both CSC and VSC!! And AFTER the update was sent out on december 14 it said 6 months still, now it has changed without an update??!!?

So, conveniently that means us june people cannot even ask for a service inquiry because now we are not 30 days past this bogus date. Sounds a little coincidental to me ...

We are really up vsc creek without a paddle

Sorry guess this was a rant so here is the appropriate icon

That made me SO mad. and today i called customer service and they insisted that that was posted on the 14th. I might have pleaded that seven months surely had to be good enough but she couldnt' do anything and then was asked if she could help me with anything else and i didn't knwo if I should ask her what I should tell people who want to know when I'm getting married or just cry so i just hung up.

This one to go with Virgil's

I submitted a I-129f for my fiance back in May,I still haven't received a decision from the VSC.WHen I call,nobody seems to know what the problem is.

What was your recieved date? I know you said you got your NOA1 in July, btu what's the date they recieved it on teh notice? THey said they're currently processing June 18 (i laugh and laugh and laugh...) if you're 30 days out of this then you can sit on hold for a half an hour and Customer service can do an inquiry.

You know Ric I have yet to see one thing about this whole process that does not suck.......They are truly sucking the very life out of us...........I am so F@#^%$& mad at VSC, my lawyer.....I can not even get the lawyer on the phone to fire him.......I just sent my RFE information to VSC overnight because it has been sitting with the lawyer for 2 weeks unmailed.....AUGH..........I hate everything about this

I can only imagine how you feel. If I get an RFE on top of this my brain is simply going to explode. Or I'll just fall apart or .. something. I don't know. I had a mini-cry earlier and my mother told me that's why he should have just come over and we got married, simple as that and I just stared at her. As if people would volentarily subject themselves to the USCIS if they could just jump up an get married.

Don't you just love it........I know no one can understand what a nightmare this whole process is....I had one of the Congressional aids tell me this is my burden because I choose to marry a man from Peru......I did not go out and purposefully choose to do this to both Oscar and I.......I am frankly worn out.......I thought for sure this would be over soon......AUGH

They seriously SAID that to you?!

Who was it? *marks down on list of people to never vote for*

Hey June filers...are they any of you still out there....what is happening with ya'll???

We're still here. Still waiting.

I sent over a request for help to my senator this morning. We'll see if that helps, but our senator is notorious for ignoring requests, despite the fact that she wants to be the president. I'm hoping they're working and hoping for primary votes from those they help? But I'm not going to hold my breath. I dont' expect anything.

Just waiting.

We're still waitng (and waiting and waiting and waiting) for our NOA2 but we're looking at the future and I was wondering..

for those of you planning your move, and those of you who have moved..

What'd you do with all your stuff?

sell it on ebay? ship it? give it away? All of the above?

Just wondering if anybody had any tips.
