Hope you guys gets your NOA2's soon. I filed on March 10, and if I wouldve waited two more weeks, I would be at CSC. But I believe God has a plan for all of us. I just can't wait for the day I can

Do you mean TSC March filers? There are CSC March filers that have Interviewed, Ported, Married, Status Changed, and are expecting their first child already....

Our petition was received 23rd March and we still got TSC!

Glad to see a separate thread for us. Don't think I can take much more of CSC people already being approved while we have another 6 month wait ahead.

I can't see our case on USCIS either. If you create an account it shows in there but nothing has changed since the initial note acknowledging they received the application.

Patience is not my strongest skill!

Ah sorry to hear that dude. As far as I can tell we missed the cut off to go to CSC by a few days. 27th March was when the auto rerouting started.

I guess they have to have a cut off, but it baffles me why they wouldn't transfer some backlog cases to CSC rather than just diverting all the new ones. That doesn't help one bit with the Texas backlog. People still waiting since Sept!

I've rang them numerous times and even got a tier 2 officer, but no luck. Normally wouldn't just sit here and take it but it seems the USCIS is accountable to nobody as they are funded by our application fees. The disparity between centres processing times is laughable tbh. But hey ho. Just got to bed in and wait it out I guess. Let's keep talking to each other and be supportive.

A light at the end of the horrible TSC tunnel perhaps?

I've started tracking all TSC 129F petitions electronically and updating them in real-time to provide a more comprehensive and accurate picture of TSC processing times: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/548621-finally-real-time-data-on-tsc-129f-receipt-numbers-src/.

Please let me know if you want to get the updates.

I just found this thread, and I'm happy to meet everyone here. I was hanging around the generic March 2015 filers thread, and while I'm happy for the good fortune of those at CSC, it's wearing me down and I hardly feel any sense of community there anymore. :(

Anyways, my NOA1 was on March 6, and my fiance is from Mexico. Last time we saw each other was in December, but hopefully I'll be able to make another trip to visit in July. Plans are tentative, so we'll have to see if finances can be worked out. You can learn more about us at the link in my profile.

I'll jump in on this thread! My NOA1 is March 5th. I have been keeping up with the forums and Igor's list, but haven't posted much. I have browsed the other March thread, but find it somewhat depressing that most are approved and even have visas in hand already. Even more depressing because if we only waited a couple of more weeks to file, we would have been routed to CSC and approved already. :cry: Nothing we can do now, but at least we can commiserate here together :P

Our K-1 journey:

3/2/2015- Petition sent Fedex overnight

3/3/2015- Petition received (NOA1 according to USCIS website)

3/5/2015- Paper NOA1 notice date

9/1/2015- NOA2!! (182 days)

9/4/2015- sent to NVC

9/17/2015- finally got through to NVC and case number assigned

9/24/2015-Status changed to "in transit"

9/29/2015-Dublin Embassy Received

9/29/2015-Packet 3 Received

10/7/2015- Medical scheduled

10/7/2015- Packet 3/readiness sent (Dublin Embassy needs medical complete before readiness is sent)

10/8/2015- Interview scheduled for Oct 29

10/29/2015- Interview, approved! (241 days)

11/9/2015- Visa in hand

12/30/2015- Planned US entry
