I-129F April 2012 filers

[Jarrod&Vicky 17]

We contacted our Congressman yesterday. I will let you all know what, and if we get a response from his office.

Hurry up VSC!

Ps: I got really excited too to see one of the first April filers being approved !

Me too! There has actually been 8 now in September. The last two being the 25th from 04/03 and today, the 26th from 04/02. It's good to see this and see USCIS getting through the late March filers as well.

You are a February Filer and still no response from Vermont in your papers?

I got approval on Aug 16 and my fiancee got visa approval on September 7. She will be entering POE on October 5

Hello! just sharing this information that i got from my friend Evee Tam, her friend had an interview from one of the filers who had a chance to talk to the Director of VSC...

Why is VSC taking so long, what happened? >>> We had problem with labor last year and lost many workers, we hired more last November and it took some time to get them trained. Some of the petitions were sent to California and we also assign people to different tyopes of visas. They will concentrate on one tyoe, get behind on another and then shift many people back to the other type. Lately we have shifted many, almost all, adjudicators to I-129fs, so that should make people happy. They will do that until they get caught up. Summer is a busy time for I-129fs, usually about June we get slammed with them. The winter or early spring is the slowest time for I-129fs, b

ut then it depends what they have everyone working on also.

OK, why can't we get through to you? >>>The 1-800 line is useless. Those are contract employees and they are trained to select answers from a menu of 14 answers. They pick which one is best for your question. There are thousands of visas being processed at any time and everyone is special and everyone has special circumstances and if we had direct lines we weould do nothing but field requests by petitioners to give them priority, we just can't do it. How would you feel if your petition got bumped because some woman called and cried on the phone and then her petition got moved up ahead of yours. We simply have to operate in a way that avoids any chance of fraud, corruption or unfairness.

So what about some people get approved ahead of others? >>>Sme petitions have problems or delays, we do not hold back others for this. If an adjudicator has problems, he puts that one aside or sends an RFE and goes on to the next. The next one may be clean and gets approved right away, in just a few minutes, they adjudicate 15-20 petitions a day per person, and the ones with problems may wait weeks for the petitioner to respond to the RFE, or maybe it is a name check they are waiting for. Petitions are assigned as they arrive, when we are working on those petitions, but they do not go out the door in the same order they came in..

What about the consulates?>>> Consulates do what they do, as I said, some are bastards. They get whatever we get when it is sent on. I can't tell you what NVC and consulates do, I know some are terrible and some are really easy, but I do not know all the details of each. Kiev is easy, western Europe is easy, Nigeria is horrible, but you would not believe the scams from Nigeria, I get jaded. I am surprised a lot of them get visas and then we have to deal with them.

This comes from a very old post from 2009, so I would not considerate it accurate information. If you use the search bar you will find both this interview and one with an adjudicator, both outdated I would say. Let your friend know this, just in case.

Very interesting and insightful

Could you update your post signature so that people won't be thinking you're still waiting for NOA2 (not all people go to look at the timeline)...one of our members in the March 2012 Filers thought that and even included you on the members list waiting for NOA2...Lol!!!. Anyway, Congrats on your fiance visa approval!

Hey Reina. You will have to ask her. I will inform her of your post so she can send a PM to your profile.

This is true. The reasoning for the current backlog is not going to be found in that thread. However, it is a good reference to give us ideas as to what things could possibly be happening from time to time behind closed doors. My best guess as to why VSC is currently so slow would be the current policies taking shape mixed in with some of the information posted in the referenced thread.

thanks

[sanyata 16]

Good luck sanyata! I am confident you will be fine since you were aware of exactly what they wanted. Even with your RFE delaying the process, I bet you will get an approval before I hear any peep out of them.

I just got a text notice.... NOA2 APPROVED

It took just six days from my RFE receipt to approve my newly submitted evidence! Now I think that's a pretty good turn around. I just got off the phone telling my sweetheart the news. There are two people dancing in unison half way across the globe.

Funny thing was when I signed on to the USICS site to read the decision they required me to change my password. I don't know if that's normal or just coincidental... hmm

[BharatBachani 1]

Hi,

Well Just got the I-129F NOA2 approval from CSC. Ecstatic feeling it is. Thanks a lot Guys..
