March 2 - noa1

[chaoticlogic 27]

OP, 6 months is normal. I got lucky and was out of TSC after 170 days (NOA1 to NOA2.) But there are others who have spent more than 200 days waiting. Hopefully you'll get your NOA2 soon.

Thank you guys for all your replies.. Do you know if the estimates here in VJ gives a spot on? It says we will br adjudicated somewhere brtween aug 27 - sept 22. I hope its really soon.

Yana, there are two March K-1 filer threads. One for both CSC and TSC and one exclusively for TSC. I suggest following at least the TSC one so you can see the March TSC filers getting approved and share your joy! That will give you a place where you can see what people have gone through to the next step too.

TSC March filer thread (last page): http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/541580-i-129f-filers-march-2015-noa1-date-tsc-only/page-22#entry7788857

General March filer thread (last page): http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/539166-march-2015-k-1-filers/page-155#entry7786976

Yes, you are almost there!

Thanks amhara, i am going to check the tsc march filers. Do you have any idea if estimates here in VJ are good? I pray everyday for our case to be just ok. We have given up so many opportunities in job and life is put on hold for awhile because this might need full attention after noa2.

No, they aren't accurate. However, they are a good tool to see where the rest of the VJ members are in their process and an average of where your NOA2 may land. I think it's close enough, though. Some will get their NOA2 earlier and some later. For example, there are still some January 2015 waiting, while some March 2015 filers are getting approved.

Since TSC doesn't seem to process K-1 petitions anymore, then maybe they will finish our September with one last good faith effort push to get their cases out the door and on to NVC! For our case, we got notifications late in the evening, so I suggest you don't drive yourself crazy during the day. Make sure your USCIS account has the electronic notifications turned "ON", even if you sent in the e-notification form with the petition.

Keep in mind your sacrifices will be worth it!

Ohhh ok ok.... Thats really encouraging i guess i should just relax a little and be excited about this all and hopefully iy doesnt take long. Are you also waiting for your noa2? Whats your noa1 date?

You can see the dates in my signature below. We got through CSC right before the mass workload transfer, so that part was kinda quick. At that time, CSC was taking longer to send cases to NVC, and CSC doesn't update the USCIS account when the case is transfered like the TSC does.

But right now, we are 115 days at the USEM. Our case took 6 weeks to get the interview, a month later for the interview, and so far, 52 days in AP. Our AP should be close to be done now (at least that's what the embassy said three weeks ago), so we are hopeful. I understand the insecurity and frustration of waiting. Stay positive! Many people on the general CSC filer thread that were from the Philippines have already entered the US - they all had easy interviews and few problems. I really hope the same experience for you Yana!!!

I don't know if you've looked into it, but if you might want to see if you can expedite your request. (http://www.uscis.gov/forms/expedite-criteria) If you are the USC/LPR, and you can prove that if your husband has surgery overseas would cause you severe financial loss (such as needing to maintain two households if he's incapacitated) then it might be worth a shot. It's based on the facts of your case, but your situation may warrant it?

Hi all! Who received noa1 on march 2 and still waiting? We are still waiting and cant see any sign of it coming yet. Going 6 mos. i hope its just still normal.

Hey, I have heard it can take up to 5 to 6 months to get an approval, So I'd suggest you to give them a call and see what is your case status..
