Recieved NOA2 but not approved anyways

[Shanira 0]

There has been soo many problems for me and my fiancee and now i am starting to lose hope in this.

I don't know what is going on and im so confused - according to my fiance (USC) we received the NOA2 on 13th April.

We have waited for over 1 month and we still haven't heard a thing, he called them 2 weeks ago and the USCIS told us that they were in a busy period and they didn't send it to the NVC yet, but would do it soon - ok fair enough.

So my fiance has just now called them again.. Only to get told that we defently weren't approved, the man couldn't see it in the system, he called some officers or so and they said that we werent approved - they needed to see more evidence of our relationship.

(we received a RFE in the start of March and provided everything it asked for just few days later by fedex so we know they got it) ( it was proof of his US citizenship, proof of ongoing relationship)..

We have provided plenty of pictures, ticket stubs, passport stamps, emails, skype calls, and so on.. (they wanted to see ongoing relationship in the rfe)

Now i'm like.. #######?! First they send a RFE, we respond back, they receive it and we get approved some time later (received NOA2 in mailbox), and we wait just to find out that we aren't approved anyways?!

seriously what is going on???

Your fiancé (USC) definitely has an I-797c stating petition approved? (Some would call this a NOA2 but the Notice of Action must say "Approved" on it.)

If the answer is "Yes" - your fiancé should make a service request because of conflicting answers - approved ? not approved?

Hopefully the answer will be approved..

call again and speak to supervisor.... or contact congressman and or senator..

How about calling or Emailing NVC??

This is where the petition should be. I-129F can take 2 weeks or more to transit to NVC, and then can sit at NVC for up to a month for Administrative Processing before they assign a case number and send to consulate.

call the National Visa Center at 603-334-0700 or email NVCINQUIRY@state.gov

Provide USCIS number, and name + DOB of beneficiary and petitioner.

We already called the NVC twice and also emailed them but they dont have us in their system..

How unfortunate. I can tell from your signature that this process has been bumpy so far. Best of luck with resolving things.

Thank you.

Well since the USCIS said that they would send a letter to us within the next days, saying what kind of evidence we need to provide i'll guess we will just wait till we receive that letter and give them what they want.

The man that my fiance talked with told us that we would have an answer latest 15th June, if we would be approved or not (again) so..

My fiance is coming here to visit me at June 18th and it was the intention for me to come with him home to USA at august 11th, cuz we assumed that it would fit fine with all these processing times, looks like we might aswell just forget that

I know that it's silly but.. does anyone have any suggestions when i could have my visa? Lets assume that by june 15th im approved, and everything goes well, does anyone have any ideas when i could have it, its just ideas.. dont be shy.. im from denmark, so i dont really know if they go fast or slow, but what is your guess..

Try calling USCIS and following the prompts for an RFE. I haven't heard people talking about it much anymore, so maybe it doesn't work, but last year it would put you through to the actual service center, who had correct information on you file. In our case, we were approved, but never got an online notice or NOA2 in the mail. I called the normal USCIS since everyone around us was getting approved and was told we weren't approved. I called using the RFE prompts and found out we had been approved 2 weeks prior and it was at NVC. It's worth a try, and hopefully you'll get someone a bit more informed than the normal USCIS "help" line

Did you actually send (3) I-129f applications per your signature? Therein-lies the problem. Perhaps one of them was approved and the others rejected. Keep following up and get your Congressman on the case ASAP! You don't have time to dally.

Please fill in your timeline.

The USCIS phone number is referred to here as the "misinformation hotline". As Karin And Otto asks...does he have the I-797C notice of action? It came in the mail? It says "approved"? Then it is approved and it will go to NVC no matter what bad information they gave you. If he got this "approval" information from the online update service, then it can be a couple weeks or more before they send the notice. The online system is very unreliable. My wife has been here 9 months and our case, online, is STILL not "approved". If I called them today and asked, they would look at their system and say we are "not approved"

Regarding this RFE, I find it hard to believe they asked for "evidence of ongoing relationship" for the I-129f. It is not required. Are you sure it wasn't a request for "evidence of meeting in person"? Two very different things. But if you sent passport stamps and boarding passes and photos, that should satisfy that request.

Matt & Bing - Yes, unfortantly. We lost 2 of them in the mail or they just never got it according to my fiance, I still don't know where on earth they are. But the 3rd they received it.

Gary and Alla - I believe my timelime is already filled. He told me that he received the I-797C notice of action, i never saw it though, he sended it to me 1 month ago but i haven't received it, its probably lost in the mail aswell. dunno whats going on.

Yes, they asked for proof of ongoing relationship from NOA1 till then (I believe it was march, they even wrote to include e-mails/letters etc.) I was surprised aswell. Denmark isn't just a high fraud country I believe.

The online system still has our case on hold ever since March 5, so its not from there

My fiance he has today received the new RFE - It just asks to submit evidence that we met in june/july 2008. We'll send them back the same pictures as last time, but add a few more that we didn't last time, we'll copy his boarding passes and his passport stamps again. That's all we got, its soon 1 year ago and we didnt knew at that time that we would file for the K-1 so it's limited, but I hope its enough. He'll send it express Tuesday (think its holiday Monday) so I hope it will all work out.

Thank you all for your help, this hasn't been an easy journey for me so far.. ill just wait and see what happendes when we submit the evidence back.
