Hi Kara

Thank you and I wish you the best of luck too, I know your wait is becoming as long as ours is... and it becomes very frustrating.....at least we have this forum, thank God, what would we do without it. It is a life saver

I e mailed USCIS and they wrote back that our case is undergoing security checks like other cases and told to email back in 60 days if we dont hear anything....

so I am just wondering ....who here got the same rseponse before..and how fast did they get their NOA2? i hope i dont have to wait 2 more months

please let me know

Hi Julie

I wrote and got the exact same response you did, my case is now at 116 days, no answer in sight. I did contact my Congresswoman's office and I filled out the authorization form so that she may contact them to find out what the blankety blank is going on with my case. I have not heard anything back from her as of yet, and my frustration is building more and more each and every day. I know exactly how you feel, all we can do at this point is try and stay as positive as possible. I am going to email them again as soon as the next processing date arrives, I am not waiting any 60 freaking days...they may give me the same answer, but I am going to bug the hell out of them, until I find something out. I am wishing all of us waiting the best of luck and the ability to have patience and not go freaking crazy

116 days?? How can I be 117 if you are at 116? What would that make me at cuz something is wrong in the days I've been counting. Help! Thx

Calidreamer, I think you should be at 113 days, since your NOA1 is three days after mine....I am pretty sure my counting is accurate, but who knows I could be wrong too LOL

Yeah I recounted and its been 109 days from when i sent the 1-129F and 103 from the noa2. Still damn long tho. Someone needs to count right and double check this haha. I'm confused lol. But ya its taking way longer than it should be.

Hey Cali, I recounted yours and mine both, didn't have anything else better to do, couldn't sleep LOL

This is what I came up with, as of today, 5/19/06, you are at 114 days, and I am at 117 days...I am pretty sure this is accurate.....This is counting from the NOA1 date and including weekends...do we include the weekends? Never thought about that one? I know I am obsessing on this...hehe, better than obsessing on other things I guess.....

I know a few ppl have gotten their's within 2-3 months so its just a luck of the draw kind of thing. You might get it within that time amount or you might have to wait 6 months (which i hope doesn't happen cuz 4 months sucks the big one). So good luck and try not to stress because it won't make things go any faster. It's hard I know cuz I have a hard time not freaking out too. But we have to try.

LOL ok well I will assume this is right and change my timeline AGAIN LOL. Yeah I counted weekends. Might as well count them cuz they are extra days that our visa isn't being looked at. Thanks for counting hun.

[babybunny 2]

What is advanced processing? I've never heard that term before.

[vicki/bala 0]

In our case AP stands for Administrative Processing and we are almost clueless as to what it means. It has nothing to do with security checks, because we have called the DOS many times in the last 6 months and they say no security checks have been ordered. And when we inquired at the embassy about our Administrative Review they were quick to correct us and say it wasnt Review it was Processing. When our congressman inquired they were told "we are validating information received at interview" so I dont know what all Administrative Processing entails, but I do know its a vicious black hole that seems to have no end!

The way you guys are talking now I´m scared I´ll get stuck in those infamous security checks.

I waited 6 months for the security checks between NOA1 and NOA2.

I eventually called my congressman and received the NOA2 a week later
