Good news
Hey,
I have good news at least for some of us. VSC is actually approving cases directly without transfer to NY office. I know of two cases that has been transferred from NY to VSC and recently approved. I am still waiting and have hope, that maybe I will be the lucky one, after 10 years of paying taxes for federal and local government that they will spare me 2 more years of waiting, and approve my case without transfer to NY office.
It is amazing, I just realized that during past 10 years I paid more than a million in taxes, and they treat me like garbage. Actually we all on this list paid millions in taxes, and nothing.
Anyway good luck
Andy
PS. I have one more good news, after you get your GC, you will have to wait 5 years for your citizenship too. Do you think thay will also transfer your case from NY to VSC to speed up processing? I know thay transfer my case, and I will get my passport in 15 years.
