NOA 2

[shelly.si 2]

My fiance and I sent our package in, and received our NOA1 Febuary the 11th from VSC...we are still waiting for an NOA2, and was wondering since Monday will be our 'five months' allotted time can we call for an inquiry? We are seeing approvals from VSC from March, and are concerned as to what is holding ours up...any feedback would be greatly appreciated. tks

No expert here

but believe you need to wait 5 months + 30 days or almost 6 months :angry:

but others will be along to correct me if wrong

You can try. It isn't uncommon for VSC to take 5-6 months, though, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Thanks, we were just getting a bit frustrated seeing others receiving their NOA2 that are march filers from VSC.

Yep, that's how this process goes. It isn't always "fair" but your turn will come.

We applied on November 8th, 2010 and we still have not received our NOA2. It is now over 8 months.

We got a RFE and sent in the response a month ago and still nothing. Welcome to the wonderfu world of

USCIS. There really is no answer as to why some people sail right through and get approved in 3 months

and then others can take up to a year or longer.

Call USCIS but speak to Tier 2 agent directly. Tell the tier 1 agent that you were asked to call back and speak to Tier 2 directly..They'll transfer you without any issues. Tier 2 agents have the most update status. If I call right now and speak to Tier 1 agent, they'll tell me my case is still under Initial review..even though I received my NOA2 on June 17th.
