Hopefully good news soon 

Have u checked ur application on the Web site ? If yes! I would like to know  what's the last updated ? 

I'm sure confused because our it has never been updated since may 10

 

Hey there,

You shouldnt expect the case tracker to have updated at all in the time since your NOA1. Im not sure what you think it should have updated for unless you have changed your address or personal details? 

The case tracker only updates after NOA1 when you receive your NOA2 or an RFE (and even then, it sometimes doesnt update. I got NOA2 August 19 and still shows recieved).

Being a May filer you are still well within the normal processing times. You may get your NOA2 soon, but equally it could still be a few weeks yet, so be patient and hang in there.

I know that you keep saying people after you have gotten their NOA2, but unfortunately this is just the way USCIS works. They dont process the cases in EXACT order, just general order i.e. generally March then April then May. So people after you being approved is just a guidline to the approx dates that USCIS are working right now.

Hope this helps ease some worry you may be having!

Are you referring to the processing times? I wasnt referring to these at all.

These are consistently months behind, it gives USCIS a kind of security blanket. Non the less, May filers are still well within normal processing times. There are April filers who havent yet been approved.

The fact that some May filers are being approved shows that USCIS are working SOME May files. But again, they are also working earlier cases also.

Mine says Case Received and last updated March 23

 

Give it 5 months, then start calling tier 2 weekly, at 6 mos call 2x week and get your US representative on the case.  After 7 mos, file online inquiry and contact omsbudsman and continue to work thru US Rep and calling 2x week.

I had travelling to US is ok meanwhile the K1 procedure (I had done it to visit my fiance and also for business trips)... However, I think I had read that travelling after the NVC stage, I mean between NVC and Visa interview is not recommended. Anyone which recall this or had experience with this?

 

Planning to go the thanksgiving week... 

Only "rule' I have heard is spending 2x the time OUT of the US as IN the US.  

 

Thxgiving should be good to go if you have double the time Out of the country as in it.  Make it easier on yourself, and keep copies of your K! petition with you on the trip so you can show how you are doing this the legal way.

thanks... I always had the K1 paperwork package with me... they never have asked for it... however, all the time I get business entry I get to the secondary...

indeed I have done like 3 weeks in, 2 weeks out, 3 weeks in (in the US) but no issues... now last time was end of August... so I guess end November will be good...

thanks

Monica is headed for her Medical.  Hopefully she won’t have to have too many vaccinations.

Here's to a speedy easy medical!  

 

Those vaccs are weird, anyways.   Ann got 3, and come down with cold symptoms (they warned her it would result in that).  I think that is so odd.  I wonder if they use a live virus for the one universal flu shot??????
