LET'S CELEBRATE! I found the answer to our question about TOUCHING haha

[GaryC 7]

God...is this really true? I am hoping for some miracle to happen on or before my birthday

Look at Gomez's timeline above. He got his NOA2 a week after they sent him that email. CSC is just a week behind them sending out the RFE's.

I hope I pray I hope I pray

Gomez is from vermont and we all know vermont is processing cases real fast. So I hope its the same in CSC also I noticed that 3 cases been approved today but their NOA1 is february so i hope ours is already in line for approval.

On another note, I just found out from my lawyer that the Manila embassy is starting to catch up. Right now instead of a 6 month wait for an interview they are around 4 months. The longer they go without getting approved petitions the more they get caught up. So the way I see it the delays here for IMBRA translate to a shorter wait at the embassy.

this sucks...this means if we're going to get approved july or august it is total of 8 months for us to be with our loves one

Well the bitter facts of life are that some embassy's take a lot longer than others. All we can do is work the process and hope for the best. With the annullments and the visa it will take almost 3 years to get Luz here with me but it will all be worth it when she gets here!! NOTHING will stop me from getting her here with me!

That's the spirit GaryC. That is true love in action...

Hopefully, things should speed up for everyone, considerably.

With the IMBRA thing in mind, the Embassy backlogs may have cleared a bit. They have not received too many cases, as of late. This leaves time to clear backlog.

Essentially, speeding things up across the board. Does that make sense?

Luz is the love of my life and the light in my soul. I will not rest until we are together and some stupid IMBRA law or a long wait at the embassy will not deter me! I hate the delays but the prize at the end is happines and lifelong love. Hang in there folks! Don't take your eye off the prize!!

Well, thats better news than you know! I got it also today BTW. It means that they have finished all other work on our petitions and all they need for an approval is the RFE. My lawyer said today that, by his previous experience, it only takes a few days to a few weeks to get a NOA2 from that point. Just look at the Vermont timelines, the ones that got the receipt of the RFE from the VSC got NOA2's just a week afterwards!! It's coming guys and gals!

Let's hope that's what it means G. We don't really know though....we only know they received the RFE. Lots of March VSCers got no NOA2s though. These June approvals must be annoying to earlier filers, I'm only May & it pisses me off...

You are so optimistic, it's fab. Wish I had some of that!

wow. well, I hope you get your NOA2 soon, to get the show on the road!

I am hoping today is the day our RFE shows up in the mailbox....

[GaryC 7]

It looks like they are doing them in batches. Sending out a thousand or so, finishing them up totaly (hence all the touches) and then moving on to the next batch. I really think we will start getting NOA2's soon!!!

[hockeygal 0]

I hope so, for everyone. But I was in the first batch, June 23rd. Two weeks later, still no RFE! I am getting worried, but of course, they don't care until 30 days have passed.

[peace 0]

wwowoowowowowwwoowwww touched again!!!...i wonder how many cases are on this batch...

[mystery 0]

I was touched today also!

And I just got my NOA1 last week.......

Lets hope for the best!

I haven't seen any VSC touches today. Are they having a picnic or something?
