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

[bakofoil 27]

Anyone know how you can view the Sent date when you view the latest K1 NOA2 list? No matter what I try it messes the sort up if I try and view 'sent' date rather than NOA1 date. I want to be able to see quickly whether those August NOA1 dates correspond to an earlier petition or not.

Thanks!

Click on the "enable advanced mode" link on the upper right hand side. That'll reset your columns.

Thanks for responding. I did that and clicked 'hide' so that I could only see relevant columns, sent date, noa1 date, noa2 date etc. and then clicked sort on NOA2 and it refuses to show me the latest NOA2s. It returns a search with a lot of blank NOA2s. Don't worry, it's not important.

On another note: I was thinking about this whole situation and the impact on those who paid the higher fee. I'm at 180 days now. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but looks like August filers are going to face approvals outside the six months too. I know it should speed up shortly after August approvals are underway, given the fact there are a lot less, but what a fantastic service people are getting for paying three times the fee eh?

Oh and my projected approval date has slipped from Christmas to Feb 5th. I haven't looked at it for a long tome so it has probably slipped in the meantime through various January dates. February 5th! I was hoping to be there by easter. *Downs the 40*

Are you clicking on the left-most arrow in the NOA2 column (the one that points down)? When I click on the left arrow, I see the most recent NOA2's.

Oh maybe not. I probably clicked the wrong one. Thanks

I hope you'll be calling CSC tomorrow. You'll be outisde the 6 month window and unless they change the rules again they'll have to investigate. Hopefully that means they locate your file and get it on someone's desk.

Calling on Thursday for sure. Slightly concerned that we'll get the 'don't phone again we need however many months to investigate your case' response. I should update my sig to reflect the touch I got last week after I called but I figured they were meaningless touches.

[bakofoil 27]

Don't let them browbeat you into not calling. If I fall outside the 6-month processing time, I'll be calling weekly. They really can't take any action against you for calling.

Oh, and it's also time to call your representative and get pressure started from that end.

Yes absolutely. Time to apply some pressure.

Defo - it is getting silly now - I don't understand why things have slowed down so much but they should have defo got around to sorting the rest of July out by now... couple more weeks and you'll be looking at the six month mark - there are a fair few July-ers I think that are and it seems a bit odd - I really admire your patience - part of me wishes I could swap places because I am not in so much of a rush *hugs*

As for being quiet - I am always out on a Tuesday night so I am just popping on In other news, I got the NVC letter/NOA2 hard copy from Jeremy today to add to my visa file so I can store it all together - exciting stuff! I have a little display book I am using - one for my visa stuff and the other for my wedding stuff

Also want to update July filer spreadsheet again tomorrow evening - I have added a couple things in that people have PM'd me but after I spent all lunch hour on it and lost it all I am not really in the mood to update at near-midnight

[Jeraly 4]

What do you mean unruly?!?! What are you saying about babbles?! She was practically the only person here! I am sure you are grown up enough now to handle one person!!

Will be around more tomorrow night though... that is if I don't fall asleep at my desk until 10pm after being up so late I haven't even opened my parcel from www.firebox.com - Am going to do that when I get a drink and go to bed!! Which I really should do now.... now... NOW...

...

Nope - still can't tear myself away Tuesday night is always D&D night with my geek friends - you must understand that surely?!?!

Goodnight all ... everyone go and look at the lyrics to Acrobat by U2 ...

"And you can dream

So dream out loud

And don't let the ba*tards grind you down"

Here's hoping that CSC send approval emails out in clusters at 5.30pm PST

PS Excuse my French - I'm Irish - and have a potty mouth!!!

[Jeraly 4]

Hahaha - I speak to the Irish lots when I am in work and they are nothing but sweetness and certainly no potty mouths Of course I think they are just trying to be polite... who knows what is being said while I am on hold...

*likes the way you had to excuse your "French" because you're Irish...*

[Jeraly 4]

On that note I am going to bed - I still need to open my parcel and get some juice or milk or something and I am soo tired because I am doing someone else's work as well as mine at the moment... coupled with the stress of impending wedding etc creeping up on me I feel like a walking zombie... Ohh I can't wait til all this is over and everything settles down - then we can introduce Nadya to the joys of D&D moxie - she'll think we're nuts

Something else to do on our camping/road trip/visit thing

Night guys!

Nothing again from USCIS. This is getting so hopeless. And it doesn't help that I am very upset at Phil tonight. He called at work at 4:55 to tell me that he will call me in about a half an hour. Well, no word. I am so pi$$ed at him. I know that he fell asleep and this has happened so many times before. I just feel forgotten. I'm hurt - again. He tells me that he's tired and I tell him not to stay up until 11:30 to talk to me but he insists but then he falls asleep. What do I do? I just want to ignore him for a couple of days........Help? Anyone?

Ladies and gentlemen, in an astonishing display of...um...approviness, CSC have approved 2 filers today. Give it up for Alex and Barbara, and Masayo & Casey! Congratulations to you all!!

Congratulatation to all approved!

BTW Alex and Barbara are a Cuban couple so 11 days from sent date to NOA2.

[Igor&Elina 0]

Yeah, that's incredible isn't it? Cubans are automatically fast-tracked, but this is even the fastest Cuban approval I've ever seen. Tells me that there's no longer a bottleneck in the mail room.

Yep, just checked the lists, it is the fastest ever from CSC!

[Igor&Elina 0]

Oh and holy ZOMG, there's yet another CSC approval. Jan & Tim, congratulations!! Go CSC go!

Congrats to them too!

This is interesting. This is one of those timelines that has no profile linked to it's name. It also doesn't have a timeline linked icon either.

So maybe those are not just (possibly) deleted profiles, but also the timelines with no profiles asscociated with them?

[bakofoil 27]

Please please please let this be the start of a flurry of approvals! Igor that list is great and low maintenance too. Thanks so much for taking the trouble to do that.

Looks to me like they're working gradually through the July filers who received late NOA1's. I've noticed a few with August notice dates being approved lately. However, that doesn't explain why there are still June and July filers with June/July NOA1's waiting.

Audrey, hang in there. You'll feel a whole lot less stressed when you get your NOA2. Hopefully CSC are gaining momentum and you'll see yours very soon. I wouldn't give him too hard a time about it. Jesse and I only talk 3 or 4 days out of 7 these days because of the time difference and work commitments. It took a while for us to iron that out and we argued a little when he returned to college in September and I was waiting up late so I could call him. After a week or two of getting tired, cranky and biting each others heads off we realised there was no real benefit to either of us by getting stressed about what we can't change. He clearly wanted to talk to you when he called at work. I'm sure he is not being thoughtless about it. Hang in there

Awww hun - I know how you feel - sometimes not seeing your OH is better than spending time "with" them online/phone etc - I used to be realyl clingy online and things and now I am like I couldn't care less!!! Sometimes I want time for me where I can look forward to being together properly and for real instead of this pretending half-life where you stare at a 2x2inch image of your OH... not really all that great - so much so that Jeremy and I haven't even used webcams since he left in December

Maybe you should make some plans for you - plan a couple of evenings just for you, or a weekend just for you Maybe one evening you can get together with your girlfriends, another evening you could do something nice with the kids - just take time to enjoy living and remember why you love each other. I became so miserable and down all the time I turned into someone else and that wasn't the person Jeremy fell in love with. Ok we all have our ups and downs and we all have our bad days but try and remember that you have to have a life for *you* as well as waiting to be with him...

I think as soon as you realise you have to do things to make yourself happy as well as spend time "with" your OH and as soon as you take steps to do these things that you enjoy, the sooner you will relax a bit more and find some peace
