Okay, then that must be USCIS's fault. Nothing to worry about, IMHO. Call or email them and ask them to mail your NOA2 hard copy.

Hello All,

 

I am an October 28th filer who has yet to receive his NOA2 (I had an RFE December 2nd which I responded to 3 days after receiving it and they acknowledged its receipt December 9th online). However I see from the website that they are currently processing those that filed October 15th 2016 so I am confident that by the 30th of March I should be receiving it online at least. The waiting is horrible. I have literally been checking the site everyday. I just downloaded the USCIS case status app today and I am grateful for this forum for letting me know about it. Are there others like me who are still waiting with an RFE on file??? Would be nice to know I am not alone....or am I????

(Sorry for the double post, not very experienced on this forum).

 

Just an update for from us for other Oct. filers that are still working on it:

 

Fiance went this month to Bangkok to submit request for Police record check.  Expect to have it back Mid April.  12 hour bus ride each way...

We are working on the rest of the required paperwork to submit the Packet 3 docs once we have the Record Check back.  We have time as I will be back in Thailand in July for 3 weeks.  We hope it works out that he can interview during my first week back, then we would have 2 weeks together in Thailand to visit family and wrap things up, then travel back to USA together.  Hopefully all goes smoothly...  So far, so good.  No stumbles experienced yet.

 

Not sure how we would get through all these steps without the great info from this website.  Thanks to everyone who contributes, congrats to those that have already completed, and keeping fingers crossed that all continues to go well...

Hi all, just came to tell the good news! I took the interview at the US Consulate in Rio yesterday and it all went smoothly. They made basic questions (read my review for details), and finished it up successfully. Today, the CEAC status says ISSUED. Thank you all for the great help. It definitely made things a lot easier. 

For those still waiting, I wish you all the good energy and I hope everything goes well for you too.

Congrats to all who have received USCIS or NVC updates! I arrived here in the US 2 weeks ago, got married, updated my SSN and filed for AOS already. I cannot wait to put all the paperwork behind me for a while! :)

Congrats and thanks for sharing the good news with us! We got married on Saint Patty's Day and are now preparing my wife's AOS/EAD/AP packet. Hope to send it out within the next week or so.

Wondering if anyone can enlighten me on this. So my fiancee had her interview last March 30 and she was approved. They told her that she was going to get her visa no more than 10 days after the interview. Now we've checked her case status and it has already moved to "Issued", but when we logged in her Ustraveldocs account, all her account details are gone, even when we tried to use the passport tracker, we got the message "

Passport Status :

There is no status update available for the passport number submitted

"

 

Is there a need for me to worry or this is standard protocol?
