February Filers!

[sereia 0]

Just called, they recieved it today and said it should be sent out in a week or two....

Seems a pretty standard response....?

yeah, not to worry. they sent mine out in a few short days! i'm sure yours will be similar!

good luck!!!!!!!!

I called the other day, no one was available at the California Service Center (probably too early in AM), so I was forwarded to a national operator. They said they made a note that I never received the hard copy NOA1, and that they would send another, but that "it may take 30 to 45 days." I'm just worried that the initial NOA1 asked me to send something additional - but that would be a separate RFE wouldn't it?

The NOA1 is simply a recepit to say "we have it - thanks"

Mistakes are not looked at at this stage

I am guessing you have your case number?

OMG! What is wrong with CSC!!! There's a whole bunch of people who haven't gotten their NOA1s still, geez!!! For you it wouldn't matter because you're filing a K-1 but it's extremely essential for the people who plan to file for a K-3. Wait another 30-45 days for it??? After you've already waited 30 days to receive it in the first place? So that's about a total of 60-75 days before you can file the I-129F!!!! Might as well go the CR-1/IR-1 route like I had to since I never got my NOA1 for the I-130.

AUGH!!!!

Okay, so I called NVC and got the number. Is it really just the embassy and year and a few other numbers? They said they received it a couple of days ago and would send it out in 1-2 weeks. Actually, the first guy said 1-2 weeks, the second guy said 2-4. No online tracking with NVC like with USCIS. So we can only call them back every couple of days to check?

i'd give it at least a few days. not surprising they gave you such a big range. im so thankful mine was only at nvc a few days! yay!

I just thought I'd speak for the rest of the Texas filers and say yes we're still alive, just waiting around for some sign of hope

Hey good luck and much patience to all not going through VSC! Also for anyone trying to contact the NVC still... I highly recommend calling right when they open at 7:30AM EST because I did that this morning and got right through to someone with no waiting (just pressed 1 and then 5). I was told my case had been sent to La Habana on the 13th. Good luck to you all!!!

Wow - that's a fast visit to the NSC!

Congratulations.

I just got the email notice - NOA2 Approved! I'm no longer envious of those how filed after and were approved sooner!

Thanks to you all for your support!

Awwww... yes... we are still alive

Looking at the VSC caravan: coming, going, coming, going... different people, of course

Dear Brian,

I was indeed on the same desk as you- and approved (NOA2) within minutes of yours! Good Luck with the next leg of the journey!

Congratulations!!! Like I said, just the right amount of pessimism and misery. Now you can call the NVC every day and bug them!

They always say it takes weeks but you keep on them every other day and you'll see that it only takes a few days to get your case number.
