They may have used their case to train a new adjudicator. I heard that they sometimes pull out cases for that purpose and they get dealt with outside of the normal timescales.

CONGRATS!!!

I tend to agree with you here....definatly sounds like a training file unless there are other elements we don't know about.



Come on CSC...you are doing well, pat on the back where it's due. Keep it up and who knows backlog may be clear in no time...unfortunatly too late for us june and july (possibly august) filers but slightly better news for newer filers.
Ok maybe thats still a bit premature!!

That does not make sense, why would they need to pull a sept file as a training file, they could have just use any file, say for example one of the may or june files thats still pending. IMHO

Yay - did I win yet?!?!

Gratzies to all the approvees too - CSC is on a roll!!!

Is it a problem with VJ as to why the list of those receiving their NOA2 is not showing up on the timeline (under Immigration Timelines then View K1 Visas)? I've noticed a number of people who have received their NOA2 yet they are not showing up on the timeline. When I click on their profile and check their timeline, it generally shows they have updated as their NOA2 date shows up. Not sure if that makes much sense.

Is there still a list for all of us being approved or still pending ? I don't know why I can't see it anymore on this topic

Yes, there is. The last update was 10/12. Bszoom was doing the lists for us, but now that his fiance is here, he's busy planning his wedding and spending time with her. I'm sure he'll update it again soon. The last one was just after he returned.

Sooo I just counted it and if I am not mistaken I can see 33 approvals for the last week We have a winner yet?

I count 33 as well thats WAY COOL!!!!!!

I haven't seen any tonight.

I don't think the online system is working. From all approvals or at least most approvals they got there notification by mail.. Just a thought..

The online system for VJ or for USCIS?

WOW!!! I now count 34! I'm amazed!

OK, put me down for 35 for the current week

Let's hope I get beat again and it's actually higher

hahaha I'l take that 35 and rais you 5 hehehehe ya the USCIS system

Cool So for this week it´s:
Jeraly 33
Scott and Marta 23
Igor and Elina 35
Tim Y 40

Wishing Tim Y good luck and hope he wins

I smell approvals for July filiers very soon

add me at ...hmmmmm...ok I'll be optimistic for me...28

We are still waiting-----trying always to be the ever patient Alane & Ramzis

Hang in there Alane, I know it is coming soon!!

I bet you were approved on your second touch on the 18th. I am sure you will get your NOA2 in the mail today

I must admit I think looking at your touches you are going to be one of those that just gets it in the mail.

Scott your so much fun

Whyz that?

...though I can´t help but notice there have been only 5 approvals so far this week and that all happened on Monday...what about Tuesday and today? People so we can go

Go CSC and VSC! Lotsa great couples are awaiting their approvals this week

Don´t give up, this is your week for sure Btw I have noticed you got so quiet recently you ever patient

All of your emotioncons

Don't worry Alane, I'm sure yours is in the mail. Afterforever, you and I called the same days and got the same touches and we got ours in the mail before you did is all. I just checked the website and it still says "pending". Just tell the mailman (person) to give you your NOA2

I'm waiting right here with you, I won't leave you behind

Hey guys, I haven't really been following this thread. BUt congratulations to all the recent approvals, including afterforever!! Yeah to you, now can you throw some of that my way so that I can get mine..... Okay, so the real reason why I'm posting is to ask if someone can make up a current list of people waiting for NOA2. Maybe there is one, if so can someone let me know. THanks have fun ya'll

Thanks u2rsobad----I'm a little comforted to know that the website hasn't updated for you. I really hope my NOA2 is in the mail when I get home today. thanks for the encouragement----The patient one needs it, Alane & Ramzis

Well it´s like that...the process is long and nobody likes this much waiting...but there are not too many lucky ones who get to be approved within a month by accident...so most of us are facing 5 or 6 months or so...so it´s whether you choose to get really anxious and sad about it or just try to stay positive...I choose to be positive although I keep watching the statistics and sometimes I go like but there´s no point staying like that...I don´t care if we have to change our wedding date...We wanna be together and we will no matter what any government thinks or says...even if they wouldn´t let us go get married in USA, we go do it somewhere else and we have no problem living together anywhere in the world as long as we can be together...Yeah sometimes I go cry for a while...but then I see no point in that so I go find something fun to do...and we as a couple have strong support in each other so it makes sad times easier...and so we stay positive and hope for the best ...there´s no harm in that and also helps others when they get to see someone still keeps being excited about every new day we have...we are alive, we try to stay healthy and happy...every new day we have here brings lotsa happiness in the form of approvals to somebody who was waiting for their approval as long as we are...so it´s good...I suppport others and hope they get their NOA2s really soon (us included hehe)

I feel your pain

YAY!!! I win $5 and the gummy bears!!!



Oh... Do I lose the gummy bears now?!

Stick me down for another 33 this week... I may have to increase the number next week as tbh I never thought it would be this quick in seeing that many approvals in a week - the positivity is obviously working

After browsing the forums more and more recently, I have to admit I'm rather curiously speculating on the NOA2s of ramzis51, Scott and Marta, and Tim Y. It's got to come through soon for all of you! So great to see it happen for u2rsobad and afterforever in the past few days. Hopefully CSC doesn't get all slow and completely useless again.

And all the touches Jamie76's (as a June filer) gotten lately have made me even more anticipative...

Believe me, I have been sending out my mojo to both you and Ramzis. Hope you both get approved this week.

Just wishing there weren´t those 24 April and 59 May filers that are still waiting...when will you get out of our way? 111 June filers waiting for you to get out of our way

Is anyone going to be doing a new list like the one the bszoom used to do??
Im sure that would be greatly appreciated by everyone on here! (If one kind person has the spare time needed to do it that is!!)

Maybe

That data is only as reliable as the people who update their timelines. I would guess most of the pre-May 25th CSC filers who are waiting on that list aren't still waiting in real life.

well there are still people waiting from year 2006...we thought they just didn´t update their timelines, but they said they were still waiting...so ...no fun for them

Thanks, jentastic. I'm still floating on cloud nine and waiting for ramzis and other May & early June filers to joing me (actually all filers, but those that have waited for what seems like forever to join first)

Come on CSC...keep the ball rolling!!! I have many friends here anxiously awaiting approvals!!

Actually, most of the pre-May 25th filers are indeed still waiting. I've chatted with several of them and unfortuately they are waiting and trying their best to be patient. The same goes for those who filed at VSC.

I was just wondering...ur2sobad...how did that happen that you have been dating for 11 years? Didn´t you wanna get married after like 7 years?

LOL..I knew I wanted to get married after 1 month! But, he wasn't ready. I lived over there for 15 years, about a 10 min walk to his family's house at the bottom of the hill. Lots of factors played into us (me) waiting. I was divorced (not very socially accepted there), had 2 children already, I'm older (no prob for him, but was for his dad) and to his family's dismay..I'm not Japanese. He's several years younger than I and wasn't ready for an instant family with me let alone being written out of his family (his father's threat..then stating "no foreign blood in this family"). Due to a death in my family, I had to move back to the USA and after being apart, he's decided he doesn't really care how his family feels, he's not going to live any longer without me. That's the jest of it in a nut shell. They say good things come to those who wait...well, I've done more than my fair share of waiting

Agreed Good luck to you both

Scott, re your comments about staying positive:

You are exactly correct. I read an earlier post where some guy was trying to get something going about writing letters to Lou Dobbs and Oprah. He said he was happy he could be an example to others. A letter to Lou Dobbs? to Oprah? When I stopped laughing, I realized the dude was serious about himself (or herself, whichever it was).

The point is this is a process we have to go through to get to something that is important to us. I believe that my government is doing what it can to protect our citizens, in a manner it thinks correct. I'm not smart enough to suggest public policy, but I think it should be based on something more than selfish interest. Quite frankly, I doubt that the civil servants who carry out policy foresaw the coming of recent problems. It appears that they handled those problems as best they could, given the resources available to them. And I, for one, am not interested in pouring more money down the government drain to merely shorten the process, if it is in fact working efficiently. I doubt anyone here has the knowledge to intelligently comment on the efficiency of this process and I suspect if they do they are probably sympathetic with those workers who are on the wrong end of someone's anonymous wrath.

Calling somone names (retard, etc.) simply because he/she works for the government is baseless, tasteless and spineless. I feel bad for those workers who have no choice but to sit and to listen to the braaing (I think I spelled that correctly) of sheep with their incessant complaints about which the employees can do nothing. The guy comes in in the morning, punches the clock, does the best job he can while he's at work and goes home at the end of the day (just like most of us here). Making derrogatory comments about our government is safe in a venue that provides anonymity. Saying it in a public place may be a bit more hazardous to one's health. (Not from the government, but from someone who takes offense about such comments.) Constructive advice and suggestions will always be useful, but ignorant criticism yields no benefit.

Scott, yours is the logical approach. This is one part of a journey. Our view is similar to yours. We do what is in our power to speed up the process and we are optimistic about the outcome. We, too, choose to be patient but attentive to what is happening. We eagerly look forward to the day Maria comes home. When this process is over and she is finally here, we will have lifelong memories (fond ones) about all we went through to get her here. And we will have learned about ourselves and each other in the process.

We're getting close; very close, and it gets more exciting every day. Originally we had hoped she would be home for Christmas, then New Year's. Now it looks like we're going to have the best Valentine's Day ever. And if it's later still, we'll still find something positive about it, whenever it is.

Good luck to you, Scott, and to all of us.

Agreed Good luck to you both



Thank you very much and the best of luck to you as well
