August 2011 F2A filers

[Athena June 37]

Hi all August F2A filers,

please join this thread! Given the current priority date movement, we are going to be waiting for a couple of more years, and it would make the wait a little bit easier to have some company here on VJ. It would also be interesting and useful to follow everyone's progress with their visa journey in this thread.

Speaking of progress, has anyone actually been approved yet? I seem to remember that in the spring California Service Center was approving F2A filers in 3-4 months, so if this is still the case, the first August filers should be getting approvals soon.

Best to you and ALL other who will be apart of this journey.. Remember to be PATIENT..... BE CALM.. and deliver only relevant information.. Dont turn the thread into a session to COMPLAIN... you should know what you accepted... the Green Card (US Laws) and inturn wanted to sponsor the next person in line.. so enjoy.

hi Athena June, my PD is july 22nd,2011. i should receive my NOA2 next December, *cross my finger* as VSC promise to process my file for 5months. hopefully they keep their promise...

but until now, every time we check my current status on USCIS website, by entering my receipt number from NOA1, it never shown up. they said, my case can not be found in My Case Status.

do u hv same experience? do you able to check your case status on USCIS website? or just me having this kind a problem??

thanks for your sharing.

Hi n4th4ly4,

Sorry to hear that you still can't check your case status! Mine works and I keep checking it once a week, but so far no progress... I keep seeing the same message, and there haven't been any touches since 9 August.

I hope you do get approved soon and then you don't need to worry about the case status not showing up. Besides, if you get approved, that should mean that our case is next.

i will be 1 year on nov 23 2010 without approval of no2, the website shows 20 nov 2010 as the current process date. i am waiting patiently.

About 13 months now I still don’t approve yet, I wrote an e mail to (VSC.NCSCFollowup@uscis.dhs.gov ) follow up from Vermont and I got a reply yesterday starting this ####### bellow. I think this e mail is just a story because base on their uscis website the current approval date is November 20, 2010 and this information was updated on 14 November 2011...

Here comes their reply….

The processing of your case has been delayed. A check of our records establishes that your case is not yet ready for decision, as the required security checks remain pending.

Until the security checks have been completed, we cannot move forward on your case. These security checks are required to be completed on all applicants who apply for the immigration benefit you are seeking. We will make every effort to make a decision on this case as soon as the security checks are complete. If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 6 months of this letter, please contact us by calling our customer service number provided below.

For future status inquiries of a petition or application filed at this Center you may want to utilize our National Customer Service Center by calling 1-800-375-5283.

Hi joycemarco,

You can check your case status on www.uscis.gov - use the "Case status" field in the top left hand corner and type in your USCIS receipt number. You can also create an account on the USCIS website and activate email and SMS notifications.

Welcome meika and guvnor2010, it's nice to see new August filers in this thread!

We are also still waiting for our NOA2...

[guvnor2010 3]

Do we know what priority date they are processing at the moment? Has any July F2A filers received NOA2?

[Athena June 37]

USCIS still has not updated their processing times, but VJ member sumonnahar with a PD on 14 December 2010 just got approved from Vermont. I haven't seen any F2A approvals from California in a while, but if they are still approving F2A petitions within five months, you should get yours very soon.

I'm upgrading on monday n my 5 months mark would be tuesday january 17 2012..I hope for good newzz for us

Hi all August 2011 filers,

Has anyone by any chance been approved yet? I've seen the latest processing times - 1 June 2011 for CSC and 9 January 2011 for VSC - but I am wondering if anyone was lucky and got approved ahead of time?

Meika, did your upgrade go through already? Did you just email your naturalization certificate to USCIS or did you have to send a copy in the post? We are hoping to upgrade our case next year and I'd be interested in knowing how to do it and how long it takes.
