Well, you know what they say, "Great minds think alike." Tho I'm afraid in this case the quote should be "desperate minds think alike."

Hahahaha you're funny Quinn! Well, in any case, best of luck to all of us!

Here we come, JUNE!

<bump>

We can't have our Topic all the way on the second page!

Blasphemy!

I demand to hear more approvals from our April Filers!

Hello
I'm April filer as well.
Wish everyone luck!!!

Well some end of March filers from Cali already got an approvel,we are all next

This is so exciting! April filers are next and it looks like we're coming up alot sooner than anticipated.

Yeah if we are lucky,but lets not all get excited too fast cos that would be stupid if we do get disapointed in the end.

Hey, I'm a forgotten VSC filer...weeee.....

I think they forgot about us. No RFE, not a peep or a touch since April 17. Most days I don't come to VJ because it makes me cry that a ton of April VSC filers have their NOA2s and some have packet 3s and one even has an interview date... I check my status online and it still says the same thing it's always said..."case received and pending."

Of course, it doesn't help that May 9 a stone fell out of my engagement ring that I never found, and I had to fix it with a fake stone but couldn't get it done until May 25...it killed me that I couldn't wear my ring for two weeks. And now I'm working two jobs and he works crazy hours too, and we go days without talking to each other/emailing because we're both working doubles or something. But at least working too much is making the time fly by, though I freaked out with many tears around the 40 day mark.

Just because we filed VSC doesn't mean it's fast because each case is different. The estimated date at the bottom of our timeline now says June 30 (originally said May 19), but I'm not expecting crap for that day either. It just keeps moving up anyway.

k. I'm done being emo. lol

I'm so sorry about all of your troubles. I had a major freak out the other day and this was where i felt most comfortable turning. So no worries! Well, on the bright side, you ARE a VSC filer, so at least you don't have to wait another month before touches. Have you tried calling them yet?

Yikes sorry to hear about the delay on your petition
I was reading through your signature, what an amazing love story!!
Just out of the top of my head...could it be that your application is being delayed because of a name check? I read through this thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...55762&st=30 where a previous adjudicator describes the process of how they work the cases, and says some common surnames may cause "hit" and needed some additional background check that would delay the process a little bit...maybe this is the case?
Anyways...I hope you get your NOA2 soon!
Good luck!

Caro,

My guess would be the delay is because my fiance was here on a B1/B2 visa for quite some time as a minor. I sent photocopies of his visa/passport from that time in hopes it would help them find whatever info they need faster but maybe I just shot myself in the foot, I don't know.

I did call, but as of yet haven't actually talked to a living being...will try again tomorrow...

But thanks for the good wishes! We need them

I'm a little worried tho that according to timelines, about 50% of Feb. filers at CSC are still NOT approved. Quite a backlog, don't you think?

No we will be fine,some cases do take longer than others. I am guessing on 3-4 months myself for NOA2.Next week I have been waiting 2 months for NOA2.

I guess I was being a bit too optimistic. It's just hard not to cling to any sign of good news when all we've heard about CSC is the recent delays. I know we could very well be waiting for another 3-4 months easily, but it is nice to have reason to think otherwise. Only time will tell.

Woah woah woah...let's not go crazy here....I think waiting another 3-4 months is worst case scenario projection. We've already been waiting 2 months, I'd say Dakota's right with her guess of another month. Chin up girls! I have a feeling June is going to fly by and it's going to be a happy month for us. Besides, if I have to wait another 3-4 months for NOA2 I'm liable to go insane.

I know! June will be a good month for us, I can feel it. Judging by how many of the March filers have already gotten their NOA2s, it'll be our turn next!

Yes, Quinn's right, chin up!

Quinn -

You're the first I've noticed that is almost exactly the same as my dates and the same service center so I'll be watching your progress closely! Good luck!

Hi there qbertz7! Welcome to the April filers thread!

to help us all, thanks!

Oh My! we do have similar time lines! Good luck to you too! Now i know that if you're approved, i won't have much longer to wait, and vice versa!!

Thanks for the welcome Rambaldi!! The waiting is getting unbearable, I'm glad this forum is here to help get through it!

Ok, i admit it...i am chomping at the bit for April filers to start getting touches! I know I know...there are a bunch of February and March people who still need NOA2 but i'm impatient. I was one of those children who could not sleep at all the night before christmas. Plus, I'm one of those you never know which day is your last, so live life to the fullest type of people, and patience goes against that personal philosophy.

I can't help it! I miss him! I want him here now! Please CSC? Just a little touch?

I, too, have the same timeline. Happy in the thought that the NOA2 is in the very near future and my sweetie is coming to visit in a couple weeks!!

Susan&Pete,

Great to meet you, I'll now be watching your timeline very closely as well. Good luck!

Ha ha yeah I know that feeling too well I am the same way.

does it look like CSC has slowed down? I hope not, but I don't see as many people with NOA2 approval this week.

Yay, I can see alot of Mar filers being approved!!

It really seems that CSC is REALLY picking up speed! We Apr filers are next!!

COME ON CSC!

Amen.....

Yep alot of March filers are getting approved,seems like the USCIS has been working a little faster latly.

OMG OMG OMG
Looking at kengumbo stats, 36% of VJ march filers have already received their NOA2!!!!
http://k1visastats.com/March.htm
this is looking really good!

Caro

so....apparently an APRIL 3 filer has NOA2!!!!

I told you so our time is coming

yes you did! i saw it with my own eyes! thank you for telling us. Now i have something wonderful to dream about: NOA2!

OMG!! I seriously can't wait! I'm shaking with excitement!

Anybody got a touch yet?

It's TOO EARLY my friends! I give them another month no less.

It might be too early, but no reason we can't be POSITIVE about it and pray for a miracle right?!

It'll be time for you soon! As of a bit past midnight on 6/4, 40.22% of the March filers were approved. They are definitely picking up speed. If you're interested in watching the stats of Jan, Feb, and March; one of the users here has complied a great website.

Good luck to you all!

Filed April 14th (received and confirmed with track number).
Applied for an I-130 however so it is a bit different. I was here on a B-2 visa, expecting word back in October.

REALLY!??!??! Quinn, how do you know? Where did you see that??

Elmira told me! If you do a timeline search you can find it. It's someone named JJ&JJ (user name: jj1028)....she actually just posted in one of the March filer threads. She considered herself a late March filer, but got her NOA1 April 3.

I'm so excited! Could be just a fluke, but I'm still crossing all my appendages and holding my thumbs (As Ernest would say!)

Oh oh oh oh my dear Quinn, yes I saw it! Wow, that's really quite encouraging for us you know!! April 3rd NOA1 got approved in 59 days! That's quite something!!

Yay!! It's gonna be our turn soon!!!

OMG OMG OMG OMG WE GOT TOUCHED TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COME ON CSC

OMG!!!!!! It IS our time!!! I want a touch!!!


And of course, when i went to check, the website is down for maintenance!!!! can't they do that stuff in the middle of the night when i'm not looking for touches???

Im sorry i think i crashed the system cos i had to keep checkin it too make sure it didnt change back to the april date!!
still think im dreaming, and prayin hard its not goin to result in a RFE.

fingers crossed and good luck everyone WE ARE ON OUR WAY APRIL!!! WUHOO

sam xxx

it was a temporary glitch...i was just able to check and no touching for me

No touch for me yet either, but I'm getting excited!!! I've just checked the timeline estimate and it's gone down 2 days in the last week lol Won't be long now...

What a wonderful turn of events! Wouldn't it be amazing if we all get our approvals much earlier than expected?

*fingers crossed*

Go Go CSC!

Hehehe I got all excited after seeing samwatts touch, and went to check mine, oh well, no touch...

But yes, it is INDEED our turn now!! So excited!!

COME ON CSC!
