one pattern i noticed here
ladies are more stable and optimistic
guys swing a lot from extreme optimism to extreme pessimism
it may be good for guys to find a sympathetic lady (mother GF wife or sister or friend ) to act as a stabilizer till the approval.
One more thought
instead of petintioning BCIS to expedite case if they are forced to give the exact reason for delay in the processing it will eliminate most of the frustration and resulting depression for many. If they cant provide a reason for delay they MUST return all the application fees for all applicants waiting beyond the currently processing date.
After a month of this if the application still remains untouched then automatic approval should be guaranteed by BCIS.
the reasons for delay have to be due to other govenrment departments or applicants data. any internal BCIS reason like religios workers and special registration etc make mockery of the processing fee BCIS charges. and BCIS better return the processing fees for such delays.
People like dardenkao with sep/oct 2001 rds have been waiting without any action on their application
he wanted this GC so that he can propose to his american citizen girl without having to make her think that he is interested in her to be a permanent resident thru her. when people like him get delayed that hurts .
vermont is slow in everyway from airport to restauarants
i was reminded by a chief of IT of a 4 billion firm that ' things here are slow and people here are laid back (which implied that dont expect quick results from us and dont push us
![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
)
but then VSC does not charge less processing fees compared to the NSC or CSC
my opinion: optimism is good but action is better especially when YOU are paying in every sense of that word and belive that this is a free and democratic country where justice prevails.
if they are forced to return the money and later give automatic approval even for a single applicant things will start changing, till then this free ride and take it easy policy on tax payers account will go on for ever.
