Please please please CSC, crank out many many approvals for us before this last week of June ends!! *fervently praying*

Thank you all so much for your warm congrats. Man, without you guys, i would have gone crazy(crazier). I think CSC is back on track. good luck to the rest of you still waiting, it can't be long now!

Hey Quinn:
I saw you got a touch after your NOA2 also,I got it too I dont know why. I am hoping also that it was because it is being sent to NVC...

I hope so. I just read thru that whole thread about how slow it's been transferring the stuff to NVC. I hope that's not the case for us too. Have you called NVC yet to see if they have your case?

WoW!! I am getting excited now.. hopefully i am just a week or two away from mine.. maybe some of ours are in the same box... Congrats to everyone who has gotten their NOA2s so far!!! any RFEs in the group?

Hi Tim, My name is Jack and I am trying to get my Fiancee from Vietnam to the US also. Pretty much like you. Can I ask you a few questions if I get stuck? I am trying to do this the correct way and fast as possible. It's hard loving someone who on the other side of the world. Thanks and good luck..If you ever go back to Vietnam, I would recommend a few place you sure visit. It's so beautiful there. Take care....

Jack,

Nope I did not call,yeah they say it is slow but I am not gonna worry about it too much.
I am just gonna wait until I have my Pack3 in the mail really

Nobody got approved today?? Nothing from CSC today??

*pouting*

I'm very happy for all my fellow April filers who got their NOA2s. Congratulations to you guys! I'm praying hard to get mine very very soon...

I still have no touches, aprroval or denial. I'm going crazy here.

Hoping tomorrow.....................

I know it. Your ahead of me so it should be soon for you. USCIS should have a queue number letting people know where they sit since they claim petitions are done in order of when they were filed. Seems it would be easy enough to implement. They know how anxious and stressed people get wondering and waiting.

I am new to Visa Journey, don't know how I just found it! But I am an April filer! I am looking at how close I am! Unfortunately, I am travelling out of the country (living with my fiance) and am not at my address. I gave my parents address, so hopefully it will arrive anytime soon!

Welcome to the April filers. Here's to a speedy approval for you. How is life treating you in Yugoslavia?

Of course, I'd be glad to help however I can. If I don't know the answer, multiple other people will chime in, I'm sure. When I went I visited Saigon (Tram lives just outside of downtown across the river), and I spent a few days in Dalat. Hopfully I'll be going back soon and often, I love it there! My work is also in the process of opening a new plant in Saigon so I might get to go on the company's dime .

Hi to all April filers..................

Hi jessel chris. I just checked your timeline and we almost have the same dates! keep in touch...

Heya Jessel and Chris and DeeZee. The three of us are all about the same and we are all petitioning from the Philippines. I have Nebraska service center but it is still California. I see Jessel and Chris have a April 12th NOA1 and you DeeZee are the 10th while I am the 9th. I'll keep watching you two, hopefully we all get our NOA2's soon. BRING IT ON CSC!!!!!

Eddie & Donna

So close... but so far Man, I'm having a hard time with this lately. I don't know how I'm going to deal with the 6+ month wait that Montreal is having for an interview.

Good luck to everyone. Hope someone gets an NOA2 soon!

Hi guys...lets keep in touch..we can go together in Manila as soon as we can have our schedules for medical and interview...I'm from Cebu guys..lets keep in touch and help each other...go CSC!!!!

wioombeen, your fiance is from Michigan? Where in Michigan? My fiance's Dad is from Michigan

Heya this is Eddie. I am from Mackinaw City, Michigan. Although I also live in Traverse City in the winter.

Dear April filers,

Well it's Monday and this thread has been fairly quite all weekend. Some of us are approaching the 90 day mark if not already there. I'm demand to see this thread hopping this week with loud, boisterous, excited, raving, silly, giddy, animated, emotional, passionate, enthusiastic, celebratory, jubilating, drunken, elated, gleeful, blissful, captivated, cheerful, delighted, ecstatic, gleeful, gratified, joyous, lively, merry, peppy, perky, playful, pleased, satisfied, sparkling, thrilled, upbeat, mirthful, god thanking, well wishing, hell even obnoxious announcements of approvals. OK? Is this to much to ask? HAHA.

Sincerely,
Wioombeen

I'm a March filer..and I got my NOA1 April 12.. got a few touches last month.. and still not NOA2.. It's so hard waiting for the NOA2..if you can only ignore it for one day.. but i can't.. keep checking and checking each day.. waaaaa..

Still waiting on my case to arrive at NVC,I did not call to ask I am just gonna wait until pack3 arrives.

Who else is waiting for pack3 out there???

I totally second this!!!

Whoo hoo!!!!


I just got the mail and received our APPROVAL!!. It's dated June 26th, but there are still no updates when I check the USCIS site and I didn't receive any emails.
I"m feel better, now.

Congratulations on receiving NOA-2 approval.

Congradulations!! that is encouraging that it was done even in June, since I have not had any touches or emails either... but i am a late april filer, so i probably have some time left....

CONGRATS!!!

It seems like CSC is approving all the 04/04 NOA1ers last week. Hope they push on and approve more this week!! Aww, it's already July.... I want my NOA2!! Please!!



Wioombeen, we received our NOA1 just one day after you recieved yours, let's hope and pray we all get approved this week!! It's already July!!

CONGRATULATIONS..I HOPE WE ALL GET OURS.. MY NOA1 IS APRIL 12..

Trying so hard to wait patiently for that NOA2 here...but I can feel that i'm about to go crazy very soon!

I hope everyone will be lucky this week!

Well if the NOA2's don't come soon hopefully we can all be admitted to the same psychiatric ward eh?

Aww DeeZee I hear ya....

We have the same NOA1 dates!! Hope we all get approved this week!

Got a touch today, first since April 13th. I did call in, but I've done that before and received no touch, plus I'm fairly certain they are not generated by just pulling the case up on the computer, only by actually touching / scanning the file itself. Let's hope this is a good sign for all of us.

Good luck! Congratulations on the touch! I'm waiting for mine too. I havn't been touched since April 13!

Yeah mine was touched once on the 14th of April. I am assuming though, that touch was just to carry it down into the deep dark depths of their Limestone storage cave.

I may have gotten excited too soon. I called CSC again and was told that my case hadn't been assigned to someone yet and that the touch was generated by my call. It seems to be confirmed after I got another touch after today's call. So back to waiting...this sucks. I'm so tired of this process, CSC has gone from processing many cases in 75-80 days just a month or so ago, to where NOT ONE CSC April filer, who sent the petition in April, has gotten thier NOA2 three months later.

Over the past few weeks, CSC has increased their processing times by a few weeks, how is this possible? If you look at the immigration timelines section and sort to just CSC, then by NOA2 date, you will find the first few pages that the span on the page is 6-7 days of NOA2's. If you go back a month or so you find it to be 1-3 days per page, with multiple approvals happening daily. I just don't get it...

Coupled with NVC coming to a grinding halt over the past weeks and my embassy changing from an 18 day interview leadtime to 36 today, I couldn't be happier...So much for the idea she might be here during the summer. I love our country, but as a citizen I find this process unreasonably lengthy and inefficient. I couldn't be more dissapointed that my government is keeping me apart from my love for an undetermined and lengthy period of time, when clearly an entire petition could be adjudicated in one day if done efficiently.

Ok, I'm done ranting, but clearly this process is wearing on me.

Ok almost done ranting...

FYI, according the VJ Immigration Timeline:

K1 Approvals at CSC in June: 47
K1 Approvals at CSC in May: 126

What the heck is going on over there?

OOoh, how did you find this out? I'd like to look it up for the consulate my Fiance is going thru. Of course, the South African Consulate's website has the absolute barebones of information, so please tell me you found this info on VJ!

I agree with you. The process is unnecessarily long and very inefficient. They seem to not see that VSC is processing at lighting speed while CSC seems to be sitting in cement.

Why they don't ease the load and transfer some petitions to VSC or NSC I'll never know.

But one thing I do know is that on the other end of this whole bureaucratic nightmare is a beautiful princess waiting to join me over here, and that my friend keeps my head up and a smile on my face. Soon you will be united with your loved one and things will be great for years and years and years and when you look at it that way its just a short time to wait for a lifetime of happiness.

Wioombeen

Thanks for the reassuring words Wioombeen, I've been pretty steady so far but today for some reason it's all starting to get to me. I hope when I get the NOA2 it will be easier to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Quinn, the Visa Wait Time site is not on VJ, it's on the state dept website and is updated usually weekly. For J'burg your link is: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/wait/tem...p;x=88&y=22

Good luck to all, maybe this is OUR week?
