and you failed to read the title correctly too,CSC NOT VSC

Yes I would, I don't work for the government. Accuracy and efficiency is required in the private sector.

So ANYWAY.
Any other CSC touches or approvals today? Pretty please?
*paces around*

We have been waiting only a month. For me the problem is that the stated processing time of five months appears to be meaningless. A lucky few are processed quickly. An unlucky many are way beyond five months. Someone else said it here that in the electronic age, the process should take at most a month. In another thread a former USCIS employee says the process takes about 15 minutes once someone picks up the file. There is clear evidence that K1 visas are processed much sooner at VSC. If it is true, and it appears that it is, the CSC is concentrating on I-130 petitions at the expense of others, then that is wrong. Any business that accepted a fee for a service and then decided to not provide the service because it wanted to provide other customers a different service could be not survive long in the market place.
Basically, if a petition arrives today and gets a number, lets say 7001, then the 7001st petition processed should be that one. I know there are petitions that require a RFE and some that so flawed that they cannot be repaired and processed. And there are some few that need immediate processing. Allowances, fair allowances, can be made for those situations. Other than that, it should be first come first served. And, by simply publishing the expected processing time of a typical petition and the number of that petition in line, a lot of the heartache could be eliminated. I think the five month number is a bogus number used to try to keep the USCIS from having to come up with answers when it not providing the service it has been paid to provide.

Lets not pick apart every answer. The OP wants to know if they can get married and continue with the K-1 Visa. Aztec said no. I'm pretty sure OP gets the picture.

Yea, I am with you. I expected something like this to happen so I planned for a summer wedding. My problem is NOT the time involved waiting. My problem is the inconsistent way in which the USCIS processes packets. It creates a disparity with regards to fees and allocations for all parties involved. I am not looking at it from a standpoint of just me and my fiance. I am looking at the overall adjudication process. To juggle adjudicators around from one group to another is never going to create an efficient operation. To charge everyone the same for unequal service, is an inequity (my apologies to anyone who feels it isn't). You are asking everyone to pay the same amount yet you processing them differently is a disservice and unacceptable for a government entity. That's like charging everyone the same amount of tax dollars for police protection and protecting some immediately but then telling others you will have to wait for us to get to you because we are short on bullets.

Well as I said in another thread, someone just got an RFE last week so they ARE looking at I-129F's over there.
TBH, you can't keep denying everybody's positivity. Your negativity about it seems to be eating you alive and it's no way to live. CSC is going to approve your petition soon and your fiance will be moving there sometime in the next few months. I know it's hard sitting here waiting, but the end of this is coming and shooing everyone's optimism is only making it worse for you in the meantime.

The response is normal because it is correct. You mentioned abuse no where in your original post. I was simple and polite in my answer to your question. If you want a different answer perhaps you should ask a different question.

I was thinking the same thing I also was thinking that response from the OP was uncalled for.

I don't think the issue (and the multiple topics that have ensued from it) are due to simple impatience. At least it isn't for me. Instead, this is more a result of the apparent stoppage in K1 approvals. In addition the fact that there's no place we can go to with these kind of inquiries leaves us in the dark. The unknown has, and always will cause chaos.
VJ only gives a portion of the pool to look at but it's enough to see that approvals have plummeted. In June and July 80 some-odd (per month) were approved; In August only 36; In September: 8. If they have pulled groups off of K1's to work on other backlogged applications then they shouldn't have allowed it to go on for this long. This method will cause an infinite loop to occur. They will take people off processing visa Type A to get caught up on Type B, when they finally return to Type A they will find that it is now backlogged. Upon this they will pull people from Type C and when their caught up on Type A they will find that Type C is now backlogged. This will repeat indefinitely.
I (as do most others here) know that we have a long wait ahead of us, but what I find maddening is the flawed methodology and not knowing their reasoning behind it.
