Tony, you still haven't gotten it? Man we filed/shipped out our packets the same day!!
I really hope you get notice tomorrow. I'll be wishing for ya as well And anyone else in february that's still left behind

After the approval though, it seems to go MUCH faster.. not that i'm all that far ahead, but I guess the excitement makes things go that much easier knowing you're getting somewhere.

I hope so too. I am getting real concerned now

Thanks

Aww don't let it get you down.
Be happy that you guys see each other at the moment hehe.
And in no time before she leaves, everything will go according to plan.

It'll be tomorrow for sure!!

Am also waiting...for many reasons I am frustrated...but Im trying to focus on all that I have to be grateful for. Those of you who are together are so fortunate...the whole point of this process in reunification and you are together right now....awwww man i wish.
Please NOa2 come soon. Im calling tommorow!!
much luck to everyone wherever u are in process.



me three...

Add me in to that count, too.


Same goes for me, Kim, no touches or anything yet.

You're right, I shouldn't complain... I am so lucky to be with my fiancé right now

Sorry for my constant moaning

Aww, No, I wasn't in any way talking about you moaning. Trust me. I was just reminding you of other things that you should focus on more Like your girlfriend (edit to say: Fiancee hehe) especially since you guys are so lucky to be with each other right now

Plus, thinking of things like that really helps to make the much more difficult/agonizing process a bit easier

I'm sorry if it seemed like I was implying you were constantly complaining. Trust me, I would be too, heck I think I'd do like 100x more complaining than you do, and mine would be annoying too ahha!!

But your approval will come soon!!

haha I know you weren't implying anything Its all good

How many days after the check clears in your account do you usually get the NOA1? And does it mean anything if the NOA1 takes longer for one person than another? I can't read the number on the back of my check and I am just getting worried since I haven't heard anything. I hope I didn't mess anything up.

Don't worry. You should get the NOA-1 soon. It seems there is no thyme or reason to this process. I see you and I have the same mailing dates, NealandCari .

I called today spoke to someone and they had no new info.

Hoping for good news soon.

We filed on Feb 28, the check was cashed yesterday and the NOA1 was in the mail this morning

Not sure how it happened... but our petition was approved on the 28th and did just get the hard copy NOA2 in the mail today. WOOHOO!!! Still in shock, but so excited. Just brings us one big step closer together... and let the waiting continue.

You're a hero - congratulations

Same thing happened to us. Numbers weren't readable because of poor quality image. My fiance ordered the original check, but the NoA1 came sooner than it.

Oh wow that was fast. Congrats for both of you.

Congratulations to Rebex05 and also to Dan+Gemvita ! Rebex05, that sure was fast to say the least for CSC.

Thanks so much... it was real fast being as I am not a VSCer as you said. Best of luck to all you still waiting!!!

Rebex05,
I'm still doing one of these over your NOA-2.

Same here... and still thinking that candid camera is going to pop out and say "haha, surprise." I mean at this point there is no way it could be a mistake, or so I am thinking. All the information is correct on the notice. Very bizare... but a welcomed surprise. Just have to readjust my timeline as to what I need to do when.

As others have said, "usually" doesn't always apply. Our NOA1 is dated 22 days after we sent our I-129F in and 17 days after the package was delivered according to the post office receipt. The check was cashed several days after that, and the NOA1 arrived in the mail more days later.

My fiance couldn't read the number on the check either, so he called up the CSC, and they gave it to him.

That would be the worst candid-camera EVER! That is unless they let you keep the NOA2 and then it would be the best!!! That is fast even for Vermont! I really want to know what lucky penny/rabits foot/horseshoe you used to get that!!! I hope the rest of your journey goes as fast!

Agreed... as for lucky charms, really don't have any just prayed... which I am sure many people here do the same. If I had anything I would pass your way. Good luck to you!!!

Since a whole bunch seem to come at the 5:00 hour, I wonder if anyone has gotten one today?

None for us I'm affriad

Nothing....I thought a touch yesterday after two weeks of silence would mean something.

How long would you wait before pulling the congressman card? It wouldn't be such a biggie for me since both my bosses know him and I work for two federally funded programs that are his babies, but I don't want to go there just because my NOA2 is taking a bit longer than everyone else's because I might truly need his help later.

His local office is two blocks from my apartment so when he's local, I may just plant my tushy outside his office.

That's great!
Congrats on the approval.
Sue

Before calling your congressperson, call the USCIS to get an update on your petition. If your not getting anywhere with that, then call your congressperson.

The way I understood it is that you should wait until after the times your service center list as the current processing date (I think VSC is August right now???)
There is a bunch of information about calling your congressperson on HUSKERKIEV's thread (former uscis adjudicator....)
Good Luck
Sue

From what I understand, the USCIS phone service has the same information that the online system has...and that many people do not have any luck beyond hearing, "we have record of receiving your case and it's pending."

I called to listen to the automated system yesterday and within minutes after I was touched for the first time in weeks....hmmm.

I'm now thinking that going through VSC is not necessarily a blessing, and my fiance is getting discouraged, but he is an awfully impatient fellow. After seven years in this relationship, it's hard to believe how agonizingly slow the last 30 have gone!

I would love to hear from some February Filers who are going from Canada to the US :-)

Woo... happy to recieve my emails confirming the NOA2! Very happy feeling.

Sorry for those still waiting It has to be soon...

Congrats!

Tonyeck, FINALLY Congrats, we are all happy for you!

WELLDONE ON UR NOA2 HOPE WER,E NEXT AGGY XX

Give thanks got my NOA2, good luck to all the rest of the Feb filers still waiting.
I woud def suggest that if you are at VSC, you call and talk to a live person. be calm, polite, ask questions, thank them for the little info they can give.

Safitu, how do you get to a live person???? at VSC????

Is it by dialing the general USCIS number? I can definitely do the polite and thanking part, but dunno about the calm!

Congrats tonyeck!!!

tonyek we did it! I got my NOA2 email today too!!! VSC made my week!!!!!

Great news!!! I know you were going crazy waiting... but it finally came. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
