we are in 190 days waiting for noa2. im depressed..

Try to concentrate on those happy times you spent with your other half. Good memories and finding something to keep you busy is the best medicine for the waiting game. Here is hoping you get the good news any day now.

i'm right there with ya...193 days today for me. But I will say I love the positive energy on this site. There are a lot of us so frustrated and *trying* to be patient, but it's hard. And then I read someone who is having their interview today, and I'm truly happy for them because I know it will be us soon. But please, please, Immigration Staff in the CSC....pick up the pace!! Please!

We are barely a month into this....these numbers are scary lol.....ugh

on a side note I emailed every single senator in the US Sentate today asking them to higher & train more people to work in USCIS and other VISA and immigration divisions of the government to expedite the slow process people follow legally. Maybe if it only took 2 weeks or a month to process a 20 minute review of paper less people would break the law. and hey JOBS...ECONOMY...ETC blah blah

write your congressman and senators.

192 days and still waiting. I know how you feel, it is quite frustrating at times too but let's all pray for one another and hope to get some good news pretty soon. :whistle:

that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.
And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever."

Just think, there are always people who have been waiting longer than you. That helps about as much as :crying:

197 days here. :( Called twice no results.

My fiancee had a good idea went to uscis website and instead of entering our case # she checked case # with a number close to us. Sure enough all the one we found at the same date as our are still in initial review status.

I did the same, but by the time we passed 200 days waiting, most of the ones I could find (checked about 20) were already approved or RFE status. We were at 211 days when we got our RFE, and after a senator's office inquiry. Now 19 days since they received our RFE response. All it said was something like "passport-style photo dimensions incorrect." So, I re-did them, really paying attention to every little between-this-and-that detail, even though I did the first time as well. So, how long could it really take to check the two photos I sent them?? This process is maddening.

Sorry to hear about all of those still waiting but I think I have to be one of the select few to wait almost a year with no NOA2.

OMG this is scary... I feel so bad for you guys. I am assuming you've contacted USCIS already. What did they told you, why is taking them this long?
