Having a really tough day. Almost ready to just give up. I know I know others are way past our date with nothing yet too.  BUT ARGH.

 

 

Don't give up! I felt the same way right before we got our NOA2. I thought it will never hsppen, we will never be together again, I will never get my visa. Thought everything is terribly wrong, they lost our case or something like this. I didn't even care if my boyfriend checked the mail of no, I just thought nothing will be there anyway. Was hard to hope for the next day and be dissapointed again. Literally on the next day after i started feel like this we got our letter in the mail. 

I can't promise you your NOA2 tomorrow, but I hope at least it will help you to understand that I think everyone of us felt that way, we were about to give up, we were depressed and we have a right for that. This process is super annoying and unpredictable. Just know that sooner or later it will be over. And we totally understand your feelings, and we are always ready to give you the support, cuz we know how you feel.

Btw if someone interested. We got our NOA in the mail 7/16, dated 7/11. 7/27 my fiance called NVC to check if they got our case already and figure out our new number. They said they got our case 7/18, processes it and sent to TBILISI, GEORGIA at 7/25. I was literally shocked. I'm russian, I live here all my life, never was in Georgia, I have no idea why they sent it to this country. It was supposed to be sent to Moscow. 

Feels pretty bad to waste time, I already could go do medical, if not this Georgian case number. But we are still trying to figure how to fix our case, calling both embassies, chatting with them by e-mail and hoping things will get better soon 😩 Hope is all we have in this exhausting process.

OMG, that's awful! So unprofessional... I can't imagine how frustrated you must be...

I do hope they can fix their dumb mistake soon. Good luck!

Hi everyone.

Hope you guys are all OK.

I know it is hard to wait, the depression and everything but you will receive your NOA2 soon.

Well, I was one of you guys who is waiting for the 2nd approval.

We got our NOA2 July 5, and it's so sad that we have to end our relationship now and cancel the engagement.

Now, my only concern is, is there any way where I can cancel the VISA?

Or he should be the one to do it?

Thank you for your responses, and I hope you will be with your loved ones soon.

I'm sorry to read that :( 
Good luck for the future, hopefully you'll be ok. If it isn't too fix, it was probably the right time, before the big move is made.

As far as I've heard the petitioner has to write a letter to USCIS to explain and cancel the petition.
But I might be corrected by someone who knows better!

Best of luck for you!Hug!

Looks like we have our second 7/31 NOA2 in the database (will be interesting to see if it really is one from 7/31) and it's a 3/31 NOA1, so as expected the tail end of the month is getting some love from USCIS. Now if they'd just live up to the promise of processing in order and taking care of all us stragglers...

Ouch.  This hurts me to read this, and I can imagine only your pain right now.  My first hope would be that after all the stress you have been through, you could find a way to fix things..... Sometimes the chance to repair just isn't there and you have to go separate ways.....  You are smart to think about cleaning up this situation before you move on.  The US petitioner has to request his petition be cancelled.  It is in both of your interests to get it cancelled.  He should write to all 3 agencies (USCIS, NVC, USEM) with a formal request.  There is no avenue for the beneficiary to request a cancel.

Best of luck to you.

Same received date here, no NOA2. Contacted my Senator's office but the aid I spoke with said he is likely to get the same answer I have already been told. He was really nice though and said he is happy to inquire anyway so I sent off a privacy notice. Can't believe we are almost at 4 months of waiting!! :( 

 

I think someone with a notice date of March 28th got approved, but haven't heard of anyone else yet. 

I'm tempted to inquire myself, but I can't help but to feel it's pointless and get no where with it. Desperate for answers though..... 4 months is just ridiculous.
