Vermont Service Center - Irene Impact

[niko]

Vermont has huge flooding. So will this mean closure of VSC for some time? No doubt the already heavily backlogged service center will become even more backlogged.

Should we expect significant delays now in processing times at VSC? It is probably the busiest center since all big population states like NY and other northeast states where there is heavy immigrants and companies have to apply at VSC

Does Murthy firm have any information about status of VSC operations post hurricane Irene?

What type of visa are you waitig for, L or H1? March is a very long time, maybe your attorney should try to do something.

In general, there seems to be a huge delay at VSC so nothing we can do about it.

It seems VSC is taking between 3-4 months to process I129 extensions these days but some lucky people are getting in 2 months if you look at posts in this forum. Irene might have made things worse.

Does anyone know if they can transfer some of the cases to other service centers if they feel that they are overwhelmed and can't handle all the pending cases?
