holy smokes, what a bad case of the mondays i've got...and no news yet from anyone. blink.gif
i'm hoping tonight there will be some late emails from uscis and lots to celebrate tomorrow.

something's happened in the last week...the number of days has cause a shift in my
relationship- like suddenly we understand even better how much we really want to
be together and there's pockets of intense calm in knowing this . a quiet strenghtening of our
connection. and this is nice and all, love it really,
but most of the time i just...

WANT MY NOA2!

Happy Monday my fellow April filers. If CSC stays on the same pace as last week, we should get to NOA1's up to 4/12 or so this week. Almost all filers up to 4/6 have been approved, so here's hoping that this is the week for us early-mid month filers. I done my best not to think about it or get excited since CSC put on the brakes last month, but last weeks performance from CSC was encouraging. Please CSC, try to continue and accomplish at least the bare minimum...I'd like to take my life off standby.


Aww looks like there's no action today, quite a quiet Monday. dry.gif

At the other thread it seems like VJer samwatts (NOA1 dated 04/06) called and was told their case was assigned to an officer on the 18th last week.....so maybe many of us have been assigned too! I hope and pray, and hope and hope and hope.......... unsure.gif happy.gif

Please let us know is you can find out hehehe,

I did the same search, but it seems like Monday's are historically pretty quiet. Even if they approve today, the time it takes to typically update the system may push back online notices 12-24 hours. Plus, many don't check online ferverntly or are not signed up for email notice like many of us, if they were approved today they might not know until mid-week when they get their snail mail notice. And you also have those that might have gotten notice in some form today but didn't immediately put it on VJ. At least that's my rationalization for not being willing to believe that CSC could even consider going into hybernation again...

I've also noticed that if you sort by NOA1 date and CSC, almost everyone before 4/6 has now been approved. This is the first week I've been catiously optimistic in a while. We are next, there is not doubt!

I tried the RFE trick. The lady I got had a very thick accent and was not helpful. She denied that they process petitions out of order, yet told me it was not possible people who filed in March or April had been approved already. She even asked me to give her a receipt number for someone who had made it through already out of order, as if I had one, or as if she could even legally share their information with me.

Then she proceeded to tell me how she'd been working the phones for over a year and she knew what she was talking about. Then, as if to make sure she ruined my day, she said "you'll just have to wait a few more months".

I was so furious I just had to get off the phone before I snapped.

Wow yeah you got a hold of someone who just wasn't a very happy person haha. I would try again. Most there are very very helpful. I don't think you will be waiting a few more months. You didn't get her ID number did you? I think she was just telling you that for the Halibut!!!

And how in the world would you know someone else's wac number haha. THAT IS WACK! haha. I always use the "your processing out of order" routine and they have always been apologetic or simply say WOW i don't know what to tell you.

Keep the chin up. and try again later if you want to.

I hadn't checked my case on the USCIS site for the last 2 weeks to keep myself sane…. until yesterday my fiancé told me that kicking.gif WE FINALLY GOT OUR NOA2!!!! kicking.gif dancin5hr.gif

It arrived via snail mail. Approved July 19, 2007, never received email notification.
For those April filers who are still waiting, I know this is soooooo frustrating, but hang in there. rose.gif I hope to hear your good news soon!!

I sure hope so Annette, it's certainly overdue.. Plus, if I can do anything to help you get one step closer to your NOA2, I'm more than happy to do so. Clearly one more file in front of you just adds to the waiting, I'm willing to do my part to get out of the way for you, I'm sure others would be willing as well. wink.gif Let's all hope we start hearing something about touches or approvals by tonight from someone, if not we can cling to hope that CSC isn't going back into hybernation.

Is there some kind of quota that CSC approves between I-129F and IR1/CR1 in a month? I wonder what's their system of approving someone and why gets approved first than others headbonk.gif

Was your account showing a "Touch" before this date?

So much for the announcement earlier in the month that they "fixed" the notification process.

Congrats!!!!! You're one less ahead of us.

When you guys are calling and actually getting to talk to a HUMAN what are you doing? Are you selecting the option (after you check your status via unhelpful automated message) that says that you believe you are out of the normal processing time?

I'm getting really anxious and I just want to make sure that I talk to the right people since I finally have a day off during their 'open' hours for calling so that I can sit down and speak with an actual human being.

This entire process is being exaccerbated by the fact that I can't really plan our wedding until I know when he will be here (at least within the month) which means I definately won't know until we get the NOA2. AND my fiance's family is egging on my anxiety by saying that we won't be approved until next year. crying.gif Oh frustration.

RFE TRICK

Call 1.800.375.5283

follow these prompts

1,2,2,4,2,1 then enter your receipt number then press 1 to verify that is is correct,1.

This will transfer you to the Service Center your petition is at.

wioombeen,

I've done this several times but the 2ND CALL I'VE MADE IS THE ONLY CALL THAT A VERY VERY NICE AND HELPFUL LADY ANSWERED. THE REST SOUNDED LIKE THEY DON'T WORK THERE. IS THERE AN EXPLANATION IF MOST OF THE TIME YOU REALLY DON'T GET TRANSFERRED TO A REAL CSC EMPLOYEE AND NOT JUST SOME CALL CENTER UNDER USCIS? BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED HOW OTHERS GOT GOOD NEWS OF APPROVAL OR THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND MORE INFO ON THEIR CASE AND OTHERS USUALLY JUST GET THE "WAIT FOR 30 DAYS; THEY ARE ONLY PROCESSING DECEMBER 2006 OR 2007; OR STILL PENDING..THIS IS WHAT SHOWS IN MY COMPUTER SCREEN, DO NOT CALL TOO MUCH WE TRACK YOUR CALLING HABITS, ETC. ETC.. AREN'T THEY SUPPOSED TO BE HELPFUL WHEN YOU CALL? I MEAN ON THEIR WEBSITE THEY HAVE A PICTURE OF A LADY THAT SAIS "HOW CAN I HELP YOU TODAY"?

THANK YOU SO MUCH. kicking.gif I called and a somewhat groggy and confused gentleman told me that my case was assigned on July 19. I could burst into tears I feel SO relieved!

I don't think so. I think there are just a lot of miserable people up there. That is actually one of the things the USICS said will change with the new fee increase haha. You just need to be lucky and not have on of them answer the phone.

I just called using the RFE trick. I've tried not to for two weeks but I figured I've been patient enough. I got an Indian lady that I had talked to a few weeks before. Besides poor english skills, whe was a complete b$%&h and only begrudgingly checked to see if I had been assigned. She told me this wasn't going to expedite anything and that I couldn't call back for a month. This was after she realized I hadn't called for two weeks and I mentioned that I've seen people with NOA1's after mine get approved. Can you believe the nerve...If you get the woman with the indian accent, I suggest just hanging up and trying again later.

There are many people that have had to endure long waits. That's why you see the dates on the USCIC site so far away. They post the date of the oldest petition that they have and not necessarily the actual dates they are working on. I don't have answers as to why some petitions take so long. Maybe complicated background/name checks? As long as you meet the requirements, you should be good to go, but no one can answer when. Good luck!!!!

Hi Fellow april filier,

I recieved NOA1 on april 12, 2007 and it hasn´t been touched since. How is everybody here getting "touched, due to phone call?" What number are you guys calling to get touched?

I just called using the RFE trick. I've tried not to for two weeks but I figured I've been patient enough. I got an Indian lady that I had talked to a few weeks before. Besides poor english skills, whe was a complete b$%&h and only begrudgingly checked to see if I had been assigned. She told me this wasn't going to expedite anything and that I couldn't call back for a month. This was after she realized I hadn't called for two weeks and I mentioned that I've seen people with NOA1's after mine get approved. Can you believe the nerve...If you get the woman with the indian accent, I suggest just hanging up and trying again later.


So sorry to hear that Deron, my fiance called on the 10th and got a very nice, sympathetic guy. He told him that our case was not assigned at that time, and that we should be patient, they will get to us soon. You should call again! So you didn't find out at all whether your case has been assigned then huh? sad.gif mad.gif

She actually told me it hadn't been assigned yet, which is of course a dissapointment.

A touch just came through for me a few minutes ago, but I'm almost certain it's a result of the call. I think I'll take your advice and call again....However, just in case there is an issue with reporting, I've decided to try NVC and see if they've received the case. They have email and I sent one today to see the result. I will let everyone know what the turnaround time and results of the process are.

I just checked our online case status and the status was finally updated!!! Sort of. The Last Updated is now today! (even though the actual status hasn't changed)... So... touch?!?! good.gif

Cassandra, I think that touch should be the result of the call you made today. You will probably get another touch tomorrow too. The 1 call, 2 touch system.

The last call we made was on the 10th, and I'm wondering if I should get my fiance to call again to see if our case has been assigned, but I'm scared to hear if it wasn't yet.... sad.gif unsure.gif

*sigh* yesterday was my 3 month anniversary on the NOA1. This sucks.

My fiance called USCIS last week, but we never got touch, is this normal? how may days would it take to get touch due to phone call?
