still waiting for NOA2 ...........................

and so do i... don't worry, we 'll be getting our NOA2's very soon...... more more patience to us..

All's I got is a rock.


I got a reciept, but no NOA1 5 months and 2 weeks later.

I can't really be supportive of anyone moving along who filed way after I did. Sorry kids.

hate

I almost fell off my chair when I read that August/September filers were already getting their NOA2... good for them but all I can say is WTF with USCIS???
I am a May/June filer and I am still waiting...
Good luck to you all and if you happen to lack patience, check my timeline!

It seems to me that it's only VSC who is approving some September filers.

CSC is still back in July. Haven't seen any approvals out of them this week (posted on VJ forums at least).

I am a September 2007 filer. My NOA1 receipt was September 26 and i received email notification of approval on February 4. I even had to request for the waiver for the 2nd K1 in the two year time frame. I received no RFE! My application is at the California service center. I am still waiting for the NOA2 in the mail.

My first K1 visa arrived last year with her mother. They decided it was my responsibility to fly the mother-in-law back and forth from Kiev to California for 3 month stays. I said no and sent her back to Kiev. They forgot to mention this little expectation before arrival. I decided to avoid the Ukraine and went to Brazil instead for the second K1.

We applied for a k-1 and just got our NOA2 notice of approval on the feb 7th.....



good luck to all of you waiting

Congratulations on your approvals, but you guys are K1's so your timelines aren't comparable to K3s and IR-1/CR-1.

I would be very happy if there were any September approvals for IR-1/CR-1/K3, but it would also make me very confused, irritated and upset. Sorry, I've just been waiting for so long to be reunited with my husband and we keep encountring obstacles. And I know my case isn't as complicated as many folks here on VJ. There are folks from May still waiting! WTF!!??? I would really need an explanation because I wouldn't understand.

I truely am happy for all the VSC folks, it seems this service center is working faster than CSC, I wonder if they are recieving less applications, or are just more efficient?

Just curious to know, when you call USCIS do they help you in any way or give you an answer as to when your I-130 will be approved? I called Friday and they said my case hasn't even been sent to an adjuticator. I get so frustrated when I see people who filed after me get an approval.

I've come to believe it really isn't much help. Everytime my husband called they said it wasn't assigned to an ajucator yet. Last time he called they were RUDE to him and said it has been assigned, but no approval or RFE since then and it's been a week. I don't know how long it's suppose to take once it's in the hands of an adjucating officer.

I am very skeptical to what they say on the RFE lines...just take VJer Mateo as an example. He called and was told that he wasn't even asigned an adjuactor yet; and then that evening he was approved! I think they have no idea what they are talking about most of the time.

They also always say things like 'call in 2 weeks', 'don't call for another month', 'your case should be approved soon', 'be patient' (that one pisses me off the most), blah, blah, blah.

Sorry, just so tired of all of this. Stupid K3 cancellation really screwed us over...If we'd only gone for I130 we probably would have been approved by now.

To satisfy that curiousty I truly believe that NO they have no idea - you can read other threads on people being told blah blah blah wait another two years and then call back and then they go get their mail and wham bam thank you by by USCIS onto VSC.

When people get approved before you, it is a common emotion to feel frustration, but in reality it is showing some type of movement from the "snail club" - thats how I have to look at this whole situation for someone to get approved in our timeframe either it be CSC or VSC - it shows that someone showed up for work and actually took out that rubber stamp that day and stamped "APPROVED" -

Hang on please, once you get that NOA2 these feelings will pass and then you can start to sort out NVC issues which hopefully be less painful. Notice the word LESS - but again as far as USCIS giving someone an honest or even better to have answers given that are not an oxymoron in nature - omg thats beyond my imagination.

Cheers and god speed to you

Take a look at my timeline, maybe this will give you guys and idea of what is happening with petitions...Filed at california service center.

I have the same exact timeline as you. I have no approval yet and case not even with an adjuticator.

Checking my mail is like waiting for Christmas morning. I'm still waiting for NVC.

HI AGAIN,

ANY NEW APPROVALS FROM CSC????

hello,

can i ask? i am trying to do the other VJ members advised to call the 00-1-800-375-5283 then press 122421, enter receipt number, 1, 1

but my problem is, it says invalid receipt number. How am i goin to enter the receipt number that has letters? i am using my cellphone.. Please , any advise how to do it? thanks guys..

still no NOA2 for us i have stopped even checking the site.......nothing ever changes.......

i check the uscis website today

Case Status ----- Approved notice send on 4th march

waiting for the hard copy NOA -2

I had the same question. Mine starts with WAC, so I tried 922 and then the rest of the case number and it worked. GOOD LUCK!!! And PLEASE post what they tell you

Hi queen jenn, Thanks for that info.. i might goin to try again tomorrow to call.. i also have the same WAC.. i will post it tomorrow on whats goin to happen when i talk to somebody , thanks so much..

I also tried calling from my cellphone but for some reason when I entered the letters (WAC) it appears that I entered a number on one of the letters so, it results to case/receipt number invalid. Calling from landline is probably the best.

Goodluck to all of us....

I just called USCIS! I Hate them right now! I received my Receipt January 28th, which would mean i'm over the 30 days somewhat. She kept on insisting that " Ma'am it's at the norm processing time! I said i can easily get this info on the web, i am obviously calling to find out more. Just to know it is in someones hands or the word it being processed would help just a little bit rather then pending! She gave me nothing! Are they trained to have no feelings!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so angry
6 months for a lowsy receipt and now nothing again!

Good Luck guys

PS. how do i get my time line up here? I'm new.....

Go to My Controls on top of your screen and you'll see and update your timeline.

Goodluck...

no offense, but this thread I'd say was a failure!

wow wow congratulations

My I-130 was sent on Aug 30. I got my NOA1 from Vermont on Dec 25, and I got email said that my NOA2 was sent on Mar 09. I think that there are a lot of case will be approved in this month. Good luck for you all.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! IM ALSO FROM VERMONT ..STILL WAITING

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! ARE YOUR FROM VERMONT OR CALIFORNIA????????

congrats to those who got their noa2's .. wow..

congratulations

why did u say that?

because I hoped to see some NOA2 among all the responses!

BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THIS THREAD IS A FAILURE.. ITS JUST MEMBERS ARE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT TO GIVE CONGRATS TO THOSE WHO GOT NOA2.. ITS TRUE MANY SAYS CONGRATULATIONS THAN THOSE WHO GOT APPROVALS..

Could you please udate your timeline. You are still showing Nebraska as yoiur service center but they haven't handeled CR1 applications for a year now. You can only be CSC or VSC.

We've been "long" approved. We got the email on Feb 22nd 08. I think it all depends on how you do it. We called them, they told us it was all still within the normal times, we said it had been more than 6 months, a few days later we were approved. No idea how or why but it happened. And I think instead of hating each other for being approved at different and maybe "unfair" times we should support each other. Now our case has moved onto NVC and we've been assigned a case number and a few days ago the DS-3032 was sent out. So, all is good for us but my thoughts are with those who are less fortunate than us. I think about you all the time and I know how hard this time is.

Thanks for the concern.. I appreciate.. and congrats with your approval.. I hope we get our Noa2 soon..

hi all
we got our NOA2 on 24th Feb...case number was assigned on 4th March and are still waiting for the ds3032
p.s. we filed in vermont in late august for IR1

Congratulations to all recently approved!!!

WHAT IS GOIN ON WITH THE PETITION FROM THIS BATCH? I BARELY SEE APPROVALS..

Hello,

I just didnt expect this, this time, USCIS called and informed my husband that we got (IR-130)approved today and our paper will be sent today to NVC via DHL..

When i check the USCIS site , our IR-130 was being updated MARCH 18,2008. But the case still says pending.. I hope later when i check it again it will reflect the approval already..

I just cant believe this will happen today.. Its our Marriage Monthsary..

We filed IR-130 September 25, 2007 , and Approval of March 18, 2008 (176 days)

My husband and me are both happy today..

Thanks God..

Congratulations and good luck !

oh congrats for you also

Thank you Milton y Claudia and lotofpatience..Good luck to us all..
