Anyone else finding it impossible to speak to a tier 2 person today?

Curious if there is really a "Technical problem" or just getting the runaround.

If you were able to, about what time was it?

Thanks!

Thank you! blush.png

Just a quick selfie last time we met at the Hong Kong airport...That was back in Feb, but seems so long ago...

It's funny, you are wanting to come here, and we'd both love to go to the UK!

I suppose if you stay anywhere too long it gets that way. At least you'll have plenty of new things to see here!

The big difference is if you go someplace, it's still in the US, it can be different, yet still the same. Still the US. I find the UK interesting because you still have all of Europe in your backyard if you would like to see something different.

I think if we start to carry a passport to travel inside the US, it would feel like we were oversea. Well, if that could make Robert feel better? I suppose. I feel it is just how you are willing to try new things when you decided to move somewhere, isn't it? I find a lot of new immigrants complain about the boring US lifestyle all the time. Yet they miss their homeland.

Why are you still calling USCIS, instead of NVC?

Sorry that I am new here. It takes me a minute to navigate around.

I thought you had gotten your NOA2. Why are you still calling USCIS ,Sir?

because my petition seems to have disappeared somewhere between the two. NVC doesn't know anything, so I'm trying to get some answers through USCIS to see what happened to it.

I feel you. And I really hope some day chinese does not need a visit visa to the US.

it has been tough on me not seen her everyday, and still sees hope that she can be here soon.

I have seen people here posting that it takes USCIS 10 days to ship packets to NVC. Due to US Postal Service delays? I don't understand why they can't put one tag on the case at the first place since we need to track it along the way. Would not that be easier for everyone?

Good luck on your upcoming process. I am sure she will be here soon enough.

Thanks for your positive thoughts, it would be great if china didn't need a visa, but those agreements are shared between countries, and I don't think China is anywhere near allowing travel visas into China. I know it's been tried in the past, but no agreements have been worked out.

Technically, yes, it gets to the NVC in 10-15 business days, if it get's sent out on time and correctly. Thing is, that doesn't always happen, and yes, it would be great if there were a way to track it. Thing is, I don't think they want people to be able to do it. they don't want you to know if it's sitting in a warehouse somewhere, or in an AP state.

The NOA2 wait was awful, and just when you think things are moving along...NOPE! And still they don't want to tell you anything.

If you think the visa process is bad, wait till the naturalization part. Do you plan to be there at her interview in Guangzhou? Visa appoint will come before you know it.

At this point, I don't expect any of it to be good... better not to expect a positive experience and be disappointed...

I wish I could be there, but I'm out of vacation time at work. She's be fine, though, she's a real Supergirl!

I am sure she will. K-1 has an overall approval rate of 97% percent. Just Guangzhou is the only place in charge of their interview due to large immigration visa workload, I guess.

Hopefully by the time it gets there, they will have caught up from the backlog from the closure.
