When will be the next approval? We are 216 days and still dont have NOA2. We called the USCIS and said that call them back again if after 30 days still no update. They dont want to transfer us to Tier2

They should transfer you to tier 2. Let them know you are outside of normal processing time. I would also contact your local congressman or state senator that represents you.

Hello everyone!

I got an email today saying "We have taken an action on your case" and WE GOT APPROVED!

I got denied US tourist visa in July and just yesterday found out my fiance made a couple of mistakes in the petition, so I was not even hoping for RFE anytime soon, I am not saying for approval.

Ughh, it's such a cool feeling, it's like I can finally breath🙆‍♀️ wish everybody to experience it as soon as possible!

 

Old website: January 30

New website: February 2

NOA2: August 16

 

Yay!

Congratulations!!!

 

What a relief!!! All the best for the next steps :)

Yes i did i file a request for outside normal processing time.

You will be receiving an email from USCIS on when they will respond to you. 

 

You can also keep on calling them everyday to get a definite answer about your case.

@LuFlolady I completely understand the disappointment and frustration when you receive different messages every time you call. Case in point; I called on 08/17/18 to speak to Tier 2 and the Tier 1 was trying to tell me that they couldn't transfer me because in system it shows case still pending....I laughed and said; "well as we can see that isn't the case, I am holding my hard copy of my RFE in my hand as we speak." The response I received back was; "I don't have proof of what your saying is true." Are you flipping kidding me right now??????  Needless to say my southern charm went straight out the window....I did end up speaking to Tier 2....

 

Moral of this story for me and for you my friend is do not let these people discourage you and disappoint you. We have to have some type of "control" over this situation, and we must be willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve the end results right???? So you keep calling until you reach that person who will help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Continued thoughts and prayers my friend, keep me posted!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for this! and I am so with you! I am on the train of I must get an ANSWER so I called this morning waiting for 62min for a call back as we speak! this is ridiculous. How do I find out when I can put in an inquiry? Like what date they are on... I hope you hear back SOON too!

You can find USCIS official processing dates here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

The current date is January 22. As long as your NOA1 receipt date is before that, you are still within their normal processing times and it's useless to call because you will get the same answer I just gave you. Just give it some more days and hang in there, you will get your approval.
