February 2015 filers

[desi123 21]

Got e-notification text that my pack was received Feb 12 2015 in Texas Service Center [sRC#####]. NOA1 to follow in mail. Let the waiting game begin for NOA2. Did anyone receive a NOA2 pretty quick (1 month) from Texas ?

[desi123 21]

desi123- I received my email and text the same day you did. My petition will stay with Texas. booo but I am going to think positive thoughts and hope a miracle happens that I get an NOA2 in a month. Can't hurt but in reality from looking at timelines it's around 2 months sometimes longer.

Keep the positive thoughts try not to think about it.

I do have to ask the website you can check the status of your petition. How long does it usually take for your case number to show up?

Thanks Bro. Got a txt , case went to SRC [ translation : Texas ] . I'll pray for a miracle for all of us. My fiancee and i are super tensed about these longer waits in TX.

I was reading about DACA on the web uscis.gov, and i saw this 'Accordingly, the Department of Homeland Security will not begin accepting requests for the expansion of DACA tomorrow, February 18, as originally planned. Until further notice, we will also suspend the plan to accept requests for DAPA.'

I'm also hoping that the lag at TSC will speed up on K1 cases.

Currently, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is not accepting applications for the expanded DACA program for youth or the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program. USCIS continues to accept renewal applications or initial applications from people who qualify under the DACA criteria announced in June 2012.

I guess that's good news for us legals in waiting..

Here's the link to the case tracker : https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

Just enter your receipt number example : "SRCxxxxxxxxx"

Guesstimated timelines from USCIS : Yikes ! TSC still stuck with June 2014 applications . Page last updated on 31st Dec 2014.

question to you all,

I sent in my paperwork for a K-1 visa and all it shows online is the Received case status. my question is.... is that the NOA1 or no? I have received some form in the mail and I do have a case number. I am going thru the CSC so I know it will be some what fast but I haven't seen any movement on it and want to make sure it is right.... oh ya they have cashed the check also.

Yeah it the NOA1. You should recieve the hardcopy soon. You are very lucky to be a CSC according to the trend they have established. You still have to be patient. 1-2 months you will likely have approval.

[Kali2015 21]

wow i viewed time line for many of you guys specially CSC , which takes on average 20 days between NOA1 and NOA2. Fortunately they have also sent our case to CSC .

we were expecting NOA1 but we got a letter I-797C. should we consider it as NOA1 . this letter actually says our detail and nothing much. Should we get our NOA2 by the end of this month or 1st week of march?

please some one clarify NOA1 and I-797C letter.

Best wishes to all of you.

Kind Regards

I think some people may be upset, but I saw on the USCIS site that they postponed allowing apps for DACA. Hopefully, if the TSC was preparing, they hired a lot of people thinking they would have to process these apps. Which in turn, I hope means that now they can focus more on K1 visa's for the time being. Maybe they can play some catch up. I see they are approving apps from August now which is a good sign. Although that is 6 months, I think they will pick up the pace.

Right after the President's announcement fort he expanded DACA, USCIS opened up about 1000 jobs, all based in Northern Virginia (DC suburbs), and leased a building here (apparently. I haven't seen any follow up to this). Allegedly, the plan is/was for all the DACA applicants to be routed to this facility, so in theory it should not affect anyone else. Now, in practice......I am doubtful. I also don't know if they hired all 1000 people (or any at all) or if those job listings were to look good. I don't know if these people are trained yet, or if they're diverting resources to training the new folks. But the plan and the evidence looks promising. Now, what the issue with TSC is, I'll never know.....but I'm trying.

Only if you get expedited (Philippines, Army etc).

I've been doing some stats from Igor's list, it's definitely getting worse I'm afraid. Not including expedites, they process about 20 forms a week and average length of NOA1 to NOA 2 is 200 days.
