no touches either how come others are getting touches and their account in uscis is being updated, while others have no touches at all and no updates in their account as well, and actually receive their NOA2 in the mail?

Thanks

But is more like the black hole!!!!!

Arnt,
I cant seem to find Yvonne & Jack on fwaguys timeline list. What is their NOA1 date?

I found them by sorting the visajourney timeline by NOA2 date DESCENDING:

Just got touched!!! Sounds sort of dirty eh. First time since Jan. 24. I pray we get the NOA2 next and not the 'R' word.

Ok your a VERMONT January filer, I almost think people from VSC should be banned from certain forums.

Oooh, hey, good post to read! My last date of action is 1/24 as well! I'm a CSC direct filer, but still, really nice to see someone from my NOA1 week getting some action. Best of luck - and please keep us posted on anymore touches or that mythical, most-wanted NOA2!

Sweet another 1/22 touch...hurry up and get your NOA2 already...people are waiting behind you

hey there,
our timeline is pretty similar to yours, we sent I-129F to CSC just one day later. If I see you receiving a NOA2 I will be a nervous but a little more confident wreck until we receive ours. Please please update your timeline as soon as you have it!

Arnt

lucho,

I just realized that I replied but did not really answer your question directly, I am sorry. Their NOA1 date is 2006-12-26

Arnt

Don't mean to bum anyone out but...we got touched 3-9-07 in the afternoon then got an RFE via email around 11pm that same night. We were then touched again on 3-10-07. Still no hardcopy of the RFE recieved in the post so don't know what the problem is yet. I guess the upside is that it means they are at least working on things at CSC.

So sorry, any idea what it may be?? Try calling them, maybe they can give you some insight on why the RFE was issued.

Arnt,

No problem, I was hoping they were Jan NOA1 filers....but good to see Dec filers get their long awaited approval.

Darn tired checking the online status! No touches here either. *sigggghh* I'll try not to check egov site for one week.. (maybe they will update our case)..

No, no idea what it might be. Good idea to call them though...I just assumed they wouldn't be able to tell me anything. I will call them in the morning! Thanks

Why did it seem like when the December people started to move it was raining NOA2s around here, but now that we're on January, we've turned into molassas? It's just because I'm a Jan filer, right? Have we had anymore?

Fwaguy - any new data to add to the charts? I need more confidence to get through the next week and a half - what should be (and I use the term "should" loosely, I know) the week that sees last January filers see some damn action!

C'mmmmmon CSC. Go! Get a move on!

Someone, please, good news needed!

Ok here is the deal. I would appreciate and 99% of the people here would to....well. That if you receive your NOA2, PLEASE post it here or make a new thread stating that you have you received your NOA2. It is great that fwaguy sums up the timelines for us and a big thanks to him. However he can only do that once per week. So if you received your NOA2 and post it for us, that will give everybody else hope, gives us more light at the end of the tunnel. I know most of us are getting bummed out by waiting so long, so it would be great to hear the NOA2's as they happen on a daily basis. It would lift our spirits.
Sorry for rambling and long on sentences.

That - and update those timelines!

Okay then..

I did a quick analysis on fwaguy's "Days in Total" column that calculates days from NOA1 until NOA2. Below is a summary table for the entries with and NOA2:

Days in Total: NOA1 to NOA2

Mnth Count Mean Median Mid 2/3rds
==================================
Dec 72 80.8 80.0 73-87 (72 Only NOA2 received)
Jan 18 78.5 78.5 76-81 (18 Only NOA2 received)
Jan 73 77.9 76.5 72-85 (73 Includes NOA2 not received)

It appears NOA2s for January filers/NOA1s are being issued at the same rate as their December peers. The small difference between the months is insignificant.

To estimate when you expect an NOA2 to be issued, add three months to your NOA1 date, subtract 10 days.

Example: Our NOA1 is dated Jan 26, three months is April 26. Subtract 10 days gives April 16th.

I'm expecting the NOA2 following my Jan 26 NOA1 early next week.

Seems WAITING FOREVER, doesn't it?

George

George, thanks for the stats! Appreciate it

Be sure to update your timelines!

Columns lined up better:

Days in Total: NOA1 to NOA2 from fwaguy's page at http://fwaguy.250free.com/K-1VisaView.htm

----Mth---Count---Mean---Median---Mid 2/3rds
============================================
*A* Dec-----72----80.8----80.0----73-87
*B* Jan-----18----78.5----78.5----76-81
*C* Jan-----73----77.9----76.5----72-85

*A*(Uses Only 72 NOA2 received for Dec filers)
*B*(Uses Only 18 NOA2 received for Jan filers)
*C*(Includes 73 NOA2 received AND not received Jan filers)

Nothing here yet but I did notice that my timeline approval date changed to May 18!!! Argggghhhh!!!!

Arrrgh. By George's calculation, we should have received our NOA2 by April the 2!

It appears the two week period for NOA2s resulting from NOA1s filed Jan 9 to Jan 23 are due. I did a quick timeline search, and see there are four more (total 22) approvals for January filers. Fwaguy updates his page on weekends. His work is VERY helpful but regular updates are on weekends. Also, couples need to keep their timelines updated!

George

I'm sorry you got an RFE. I have been keeping a close eye on your case, hoping you will have an approval soon. Do you mind if I ask you what you sent in for evidence? I am fearful myself of us getting an RFE also, so would like to know if we are going to be in the danger zone!!! Just trying to plan for any problems. We are February filers, this wait is gruesome to say the least. I have calculated, calculated, and calculated some more on best/ worst/ and median case scenarios till my eyes are crossed from staring at the computer. I hope it comes soon for you. Take care, Jen

Don't forget that, from what I understand (and dear god in heaven may never have to know from personal experience), RFEs can be generated for things other than "evidence" as we use the term here. They can mean, please sign this 3d copy of the G-325A and send it back, or, this was mislabeled, or you skipped this box, etc.

I keep pestering them to know too, but I think they're more eager to know than we are!

It can also mean 'we are dumb a$$es and we lost this, so please send another'.

I got touched today. Is it because I called the USCIS customer service line and that's why it shows a touch, or is it because those SOBs are finally accessing my file?????



the suspense will kill me yet!!!!!

Could you give us the number? Perhaps we can all get touched!

The day I called cust service didn't register a touch.

It's the number that came on the NOA1. If you type the option for change of address you get a person. Not that they can tell you anything you don't already know, but you do get a voice. It was frustrating and not worth my time. And hopefully it's NOT the reason I'm touched.

The touch was an approval!!!


YEE HAW!!!

Congrats!
Keep 'em coming CSC!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

Funny thing, because I was expecting an RFE, because I sorta kinda STUPIDLY sent the copies of the actual G-325a, instead of the originals. D'OH!

So I've been sweating bullets.

But YAY!!! There appears to be life in the Ziggurat!

:happydance:

I hope this means there is a flood of approvals now!

Yayyy!! Finally... Congratulations!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Yay!!!!!!!! Great to see an approval! That spurt of approvals at the beginning of April sure was exciting, but I had hoped it would continue.

Nice and congradulations on the approval...lets get them Jan guys out the way so that we can get to Feb filers...

APPROVED!

FINALLY!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

They approved your petition w/ only copies of the G-325A? Good stuff for you!
Just strengthens the point made over and over on this board...there is no rhyme or reason to RFE's!
I hope more approvals are coming tomorrow, for January filers, and especially approvals for any still left out there from previous months.
-P

Sign of life in California!! Congrats and good luck on speedy process from here on through!!! I'm feeling SLIGHTLY less anger at the moment towards CSC.

Operative word there being slightly...ever so. Still a long way to go w/ Jan. Cali filers. I may be off by a couple, but I think there are 76 filers for January, and only 20 approvals so far. Ugh! I just wanna I'm bringing up the tail end of February, so my wait is still a while away, but I like to live vicariously through others' approvals...at least until I get my own.

Yes you are right. Still peeking my curiosity though. If we got an RFE for a mistake on the petition, I think I would have to slit my wrists and jump in a puddle of salt water (joking of course) after I so neurotically checked it fifty thous times!!! I must have driven our atty crazy with all of my "what about this's". You should be getting an approval soon also...I am pulling for you!!! Just like you said the other day, wine helps...got a kick out of that!!! Oh, if you do get any info on the RFE, could you send it on over? BTW, thanks for giving us the info and website for the proposed fee increase. Have a good one and hope to see your NOA2 soon. Oh, are you going to go over to England for the interview? I have ever so obsessively tried to calculate around when ours is, I am definitely going to try and make it.

hi january filers, im not sure what is my NOA1 date was, but we got an email approval of NOA2 last March 27, which happens to be me and my honey's 2nd year anniversary, isn't it the sweetest thing? im just so happy..

My prayers for those who are still waiting for approvals, you'll all get it soon, just hang on there OK

Congrats to the recent approvals!

Send some of that good mojo our way!

Sis! Congratulations to you and Dave.. Hope we have the same batch.. Thanks for your prayers.. *hugggsss*

Julie

I'm glad to see 2 approvals since yesterday. Congratulations. Very good news!
