There is hope!
I am a quiet reader in this community and I normally don’t comment or post at all, but I felt inclined to share my journey. I know that the Vermont Center has a bad reputation for unreasonable wait times but I just wanted to post my journey to give hope to others in waiting. I read a lot of stories about crazy processing times for this center that just made me cry every single day. Please don’t give up and don’t lose hope. This the first step of a much longer one, so let’s keep our heads up ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations

but Vermont is only 9 to 12 months to approve a case, that’s why they approved you in the spot!! the only one that it’s taking for ever now is California and Potomac, I being waiting since, Dec, 2019 and nothing yet, I’m so tired of this waiting game!!
ma maOct 1, 2021
JA so sorry to hear you've been waiting for so long. Is yours marriage based?
moe zokOct 1, 2021
congratulations! mine is Vermont too.... PD: 04/12/2021 still waiting..... but according to this app... I might get a decision between October 2021and February..... 2022..... my question how accurate was this app on the decision of yours.
ma maOct 1, 2021

J AOct 1, 2021

moe zokOct 1, 2021
@ma thank you. hopefully mine will be approved soon.
@J A alright. thanks
Mama AddoOct 1, 2021
@moe zok: The app told me I had the highest probability of being approved between November 2021 and March 2022 (36%) but approval came in before then.
Mama AddoOct 1, 2021
The app just helps with the anxiety of waiting but isnt really going to be exact in terms of predictions.
moe zokOct 1, 2021
thanks for the explanation and further description... 👍

Congratulations! Were you in another service center before Vermont?? Because my case was in texas then transferred to Vermont. I do know why they forward cases from service center to another!!
