Any march 27 filers here who have gotten their approvals already? And those who have not gotten theirs yet? The frustration is real! 💔

12 out of 21 (57%) of 3/27 NOA1s have their NOA2, as of Saturday. There might be one or two more from the weekend.

Yep!  I agree with you.  5 months is unconscionable. 

Frustration is Very Real.      I've reached the limits of my patience.  

This week (regardless if it helps or not) I'm calling and emailing and rattling doors.

I may even call the US Forestry Service!  IDC  

There are others waiting longer, but there are April approvals, also.  

Monday is day 144 receive and this insanity is going to end  - I don't know when, nor do I know how, but I'm sick of this BENCH!!!!!

I tried contacting our congresswoman and We have not hear back from her yet. I am the beneficiary, gave up my good paying job overseas to go home and go through this process just to be with my love. It has been 8 months since I went back home. And Im still here. Lol I really wish we could here good news this week. My man will call uscis tomorrow as well. Monday is our day 135. Omg haha I cant just sit down here and wait longer anymore!

I read on another thread that 2016 tax transcripts aren't available yet.  I didn't go to look for myself, but I thought that was odd - especially for electronic filers

I tried ordering my IRS transcripts online, but the site provided an error. Then, I used 8009089946 and it worked great. The automated system stated that I will reveive them in 10 days or less. This includes the 2016 filing.

Ugh. More dealing with stupid government verification issues... Tried to get electronic transcripts and everything went smoothly until they asked for my phone number. Now I have to wait 5-10 days for a verification in the mail (to an address I don't live at anymore) to activate my account and get transcripts. Hopefully the post office will honor my change of address and forward it to me.

Sorry, just got home and catching up on these posts... and better late than never? hehe 
I have to say, I remember awhile back reading something about the tax transcripts and it being more geared for ppl who are self employed... just thought I would throw that out there in case it helps some.

I have never been so close to my processing estimate time.. I know we have all said that it's pretty much useless, but right now I really really hope it's accurate since it is this week!!! Never thought I would say that  lol
Good luck everyone and I hope it is a great week and raining NOA2's!!! Especially Jan and Feb filers that are still left behind!!

I have read that the consulate in HCMC may ask for many different items. I know that there may be different contextual variables, but I am bringing everything possible for her [eventual] interview. According to recent reviews, they have not been asking for much when both parties are present. Stull, I do not want to risk administrative pricessing or a denial. I usually am lucky, but am even in administrative processing (unknown reason and indefinite time) at the NVC. This process is unpredictable and forces even the most confident into humility...or submission.

I just finished my medical on Friday August 4th. My visa interview is on August 24th. Last I saw on the system, they have already opened the interview slots in September. October will only probably be opened in September. Just in case you do not have enough time, make sure you contact the embassy to ask them to extend your NOA2 validity

 

A gentle reminder, your medical appointment should be at least 2 weeks before your visa interview date. They take around 10 days to have the medical report ready. If you wanna play safe, make the medical 3 weeks before.

I've been checking the past 3 days. Only August 17th is available. Nothing else. Getting a little worried.

Maybe there is a glitch? Or they need to update their system? Maybe call and see how accurate it is? *fingers crossed*

we tried to call, actually my F. And it says continue with the process. but because ive read one thread, that they did that and tried calling to be sure that the Withdrawal letter is not valid, by the time the benefeciary had her interview they saw the withdrawal letter in the system and denied her visa. that my dilemma.. what if that happens. 😭😭

This is an interesting and unfortunate situation. I was reading portions of the "field manual" and it seems they worry that fraud may be related to one's reasoning...like one may regret deception.  This is why they will likely scrutinize the decision if they allow an interview. 

 

The reason you provided  is much different than another VJ member's "argument" over language with his finance. I am not trying to judge the other situation, but this process causes us to be at our worst sometimes. Still, I never thought about cancelling the petition due to a fight with my fiance. My decision to marry her has not fluctuated to doubt.

 

Again, your situation is much different. You received little to no communication from YOUR government, and thus thought it may be worth trying a different route. Your decision sounds as if the inability to recieve information from the USCIS caused stress, which influenced a decision made in haste. 

 

It may be best to contact an attorney ASAP.  The loss in time is not worth the risk. I would guess an immigration attorney will not cost much more than the USCIS fee to refile. Also, an attorney may be better at helping to convey the reasons behind the letter to withdraw.

 

Will you attend the [eventual] interview? I would as they may have questions.
