Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?

[Tim & Cai 15]

We've been touched everyday lately too except for Sunday (oct 28th).. not sure if it is good or bad! nervous!

Hey, Tim:

When do you think you'll get your noa2?

Well my guess was monday so who knows. I think they are having too much fun touching mine Or maybe they are using it as A place mat. I have gotten a touch every day since friday. Except saturday. That makes 6 now.

I pray it is our time soon.

The journey is long but we are strong!

So tomorrow we will slowly start knocking on the door of day 140 That puts us 11 days from the 5 months mark No touches, no updates, nothing

The journey is long but we are strong!

Hi everyone. I just signed up, but I've been a lurker for the past 5 months or so. I check the USCIS website daily, and nothing has changed in my account since 6/22. So I decided to give the old RFE trick a try today. To my surprise the guy told me that I was approved today! It is kind of strange that the status has not been changed on the USCIS website yet. The customer service guy told me that it was because I was just approved today and I should receive my notice in 1-2 weeks. At least they're moving along with June filers. I wish you all luck!

Congratulations CherryBlossoms and thanks for coming out of hiding to tell us

Last, IMO, for those of you worrying about an RFE......don't worry a lot!!! Very few RFE's are issued this late in the process. Most come soon after the initial I-130 and/or I-129F is sent in and that important first content review and document scan takes place at the front door, so to speak. It is not common to see the RFE this close to NOA-2.......if there is to be a surprise, you will most likely get it during the interview at the Consulate or Embassy. This is also why the "approval" we all speak to at this stage, is really in name only. Remember, everyone of that 10 to 20 % who get blue or white slipped at the interview, were each approved at the NOA-2 stage. And yes, at least we are seeing some very notable movement with the June filers !!! The next week to ten days will bring many more June NOA-2's.

I'm not sure this is strictly true since post July USCIS has been delayed greatly on input and issuing NOA1's. The initial checks USCIS do are on payment, signatures, presence of applicable forms. I doubt they recognise any errors beyond that. I do hope you're right but I would have thought that since the apps gather dust for a couple of months or so between issuing the case number and reaching someone's desk for processing that detailed checks could generate RFE's once the applications are due for final processing. However, I would agree with you that most petitions achieve approval at this stage in the game. Plus, if the pressure to speed up is on, I reckon they could be being less strict about certain aspects people sometimes receive RFE's over.

Anyway, good luck everyone. Let's hope we all get approved without RFE.

I just read through the last 10 pages of this thread - whew! Anyway, I am hoping for an approval this week, but trying not to worry too much since I will be going to see Andrew in only a few days!

But I do have a question: I read somewhere to get four notarized copies of the I-134 for the interview - are four needed? I can't find where I read it, so I'm not sure how I'm coming up with that number.

Thanks and congrats to all those who were approved!

In the guides they recommend three copies; one for yourself, one for your fiance and one for the embassy to keep. Most places it costs the same to notarize 1 or more of the same form, but the extras are in case one get lost.

I'm so sorry Alane I know how hard this is, so I'm going to keep hoping extra just for you so you don't end up patiently waiting to kill the officer that's taking forever! I bet he has a hard time making decisions at home to, like what to eat for dinner, what to watch on tv, etc! It just shouldn't take this long!

[Jeraly 4]

Yeah - it should be your turn next!!!

Well, I've heard of women who won't touch their husbands

and I've heard of men who won't touch their wives;

I've heard of women who won't touch other men's husbands

and I've heard of men who won't touch other men's wives,

but I wonder what it means when one's government won't

even touch you?

Alane, I'm with you today, I feel like I'm going insane. My daughter spent the night in the emergency room, I've had maybe 4 hours of sleep. And on top of that nothing from CSC, I'm going insane now, I tried to stay postive but now I'm failing misserably. I'm crying with you, I think is the time when we need fellow Vj'ers to come and help us up.
