Well you guys must have luck on your side. The day after I posted my check
got cashed, and today I received my NOA1.

I submitted mid-September. I have seen several mid-September filers who are just
now receiving NOA1, so they must be catching up. Have faith people!!!

Thanks to everyone for all of your support.

Cheers
Mike & Hana

Thanks Eric! I've added my info.

Mine's up there too!

and ours too:)

I think I've read in the past that there is no Packet 4 anymore, that they've been combined. Can anyone confirm?

Don't quote me on this but I think that it varies from country to country. For example, & again don't quote me on it but I talked with a Mexico K1 filer and the person told me that there is no packet 3 or packet 4 for Mexico. Can anyone verify this because it has been a while since I had the conversation & maybe I understood him incorrectly.

I believe that is true. The Philippines I believe only gets a packet 4.

i saw that someone got a packet 3 whats mean?is that mean his case was approved or what?i really dont understand this immigration process

Guys, I need a help from you. How do you know the case is touched? DO you get e-mails from the CSC?

I created a user id today in uscis.gove site. Then the site asked me to log on. Once I logged on, it said that I am not authorized to logon. Disconnect now? Should I be worried?

Did you log in as a customer or a representative, that could be the problem.

really? okay thats good news.. thanks

go september filers!!!

Let's see if we can get some more NOA1's this week! I know a lot of us are still missing it. In fact, tomorrow marks 7 weeks (49 days) since our petition was delivered to CSC, and no NOA1.

I keep checking my bank account for the deposit. Everytime I see money missing, I am momentarily excited because I think it might be the check for USCIS... but nope, just rent or something else. SIGH.

Brian

Heh, I did the same thing. Check bank account, see a different balance, squeal like a little schoolgirl, then sigh as I realize it's only a check cashed by PG&E.

Come on CSC, give the September people some lovin'!

Well, I don't squeal like a school girl as you do... but there is an air of anticipation and I can almost feel my heart skip a beat when I first see a new check cleared.

We finally got NOA1!

The hard copy arrived today, and it was only 48 days after mailing the petition. It's really funny that I spent all this time watching my checking account, but the NOA1 letter arrive before the check has come through.

GREAT News!!

Anyone else getting a little excited to see July filers being approved? Granted, it's only a few. But it's conceivable we could see our first September NOA2 in January if this keeps up.

yes; I am rather excited - completely objectively of course - at seeing the first July filers beginning to be approved

Yup, I definately am. From looking at the timelines of recent NOA2s, at least 10% are july. Interestingly enough, the Julys are even at CSC... but granted they are working on late May too.

I think things will start moving quickly. In another post, I counted the number of filers by month and august and september were dead. About 70 VJ filers for these months, vs around 200 for the months leading up to and including july.

lol! Well I hope you get yours soon so you'll be out of my way. Completely objectively of course!

I'm living proof....don't put alot of stock in the estimated dates...mine was 5th December...got approved yesterday.

lots of objectivity in this thread


and DID you, debz? you should have said

Remember to add your info to the list

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/September_Filers

Finally check was cashed. It's been 70 days. I must be the last September filer who has not received NOA1.

Nope there is still me

There's still a few more unfortunately. Congrats tho!

AND ME ALSO ... My application got there September 18th and still NOTHING...

Any more September filers get their NOA1 this week?

I'd say if I don't get one right after Thanksgiving then i'm definately in the "lost" category

My heart goes out to you and other September filers who have not received NOA1 yet. I know sick it can make you feel. I don't think they'll lose your petition. I have not heard anybody's package has been lost. It's just that they don't file our petitions in any logical way. It's frustrating, but hang in there. your turn should come soon. I believe that you will finish filing all September filers soon.

Since this thread has floated down to page 3 as of late, I thought I'd share some optimistic observations.

- June filers are over half complete.
- July filers are starting to see more approvals. This is good because...
- While there are 183 July applications, there are only 37 August applications and 39 September applications. Hopefully this means that once the bulk of the July filers are taken care of, August and September will go fast. (I am operating under the assumption that VJ applications track roughly percentage-wise to actual applications.)
- My estimated adjudication date moved up from Feb 21 to Feb 19. So the pace seems to be picking up. A lackluster approval rate from last week may offset that, but the overall trend does seem to be improving.
- Most importantly: someone brought brownies to work today and I managed to get one before they were all gone. That never happens. It is an omen of good things to come.

For those September filers who haven't seen NOA1 yet, don't lose hope! You won't lose your place in line when they finally do get around to notifying you. Hang in there, we are all rooting for you!!

Hey Mox - love your thoughts... and I concur... my "estimated" date dropped two days as well... LOL... now if it can do that each and every week, then I MIGHT just see my NOA-2 either very very late January or sometime in February... which will be FAR better than March LOL...
I do agree once they start moving that backlog of June/July that those after that "should in theory" be processed faster... but then I suppose the NVC will have the backlog instead... GRRRRRR... no fun in this game is there...

have a GREAT day and GOOD LUCK to all those waiting on NOA-1's they WILL come through soon I am sure.
Tracy

Mox: Thanks for your positive comments. I wanted to follow up one of your comment -
Does CSC process case based on case receieved date or NOA1 date. My NOA1 is Sep 27, 2007 but case was received on Aug 21,2007. I was just wondering...

shocked today when i saw the new proccesing date of the csc,they are still in april,they are so slow more than a snail,what is going there people?i was thinking they gonna say june or july,what is going on there?oh my god and the holidays are coming it is really no good,but lets keep faith in god,this is really frustrating,good luck to everybody

They base it on your received date. And not just CSC but all the USCIS centers.

Yet another day knocked off my estimated adjudication date. Things are definitely looking up for September filers!

Any more NOA1's received?

I got touched again

Another day knocked off of my adjudication date too Mox! If it keeps going at this rate I'll move into February instead of March to be approved. That would be AWESOME! January would be even better, but probably pushing it! ~giggles~

What does it mean when u get " TOUCHED"? I see that on peoples timelines and I don't understand

Just wishing all the September Filers a Happy Thanksgiving Lets hope next thanksgiving our fiance's are with us.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too Eric, and all the rest of the Sept filers!

Happy Turkey Day!

hapy thanks giving to everybody in here,and may god hear our wishes and answer them befor the new year

So I'm seeing 7 NOA2's for September filers so far...WOW and CONGRATULATIONS!! Any September NOA2 recipients care to step forward and share in your good fortune?

I didn't really beleive you until I went in and started looking at them. It's great, but they are also a bit out of order. Two are from Cuba and I've heard they get expediated processing because of some special conditions of the embassy. All 7 are VSC of course.

Still, I'm surprised. Of 89 persons on record for filing in september, 7 have NOA2. That's nearly 10%! Looking at august, I think I saw 1 person with NOA2. Congrats to those who have gotten it.

so weird that VSC has done those September filers (and I THINK even a couple from October), but hasn't started on July yet

Yeah, considering we're not even due to start seeing touches until at least the new year, ~10% is pretty amazing.

VSC cat is messin' with your head
