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

[CBR 0]

Good points about the list guys!

I am in need of updating my filtering mechanism. I was actually planning to do a bit of work on that, so stay tuned, it's coming soon.

You're a good man Igor

Well who says romance is dead? The CSC, that's who!!! Valentine's Day met with zero approvals ... grrrrrrrrr!!!

I propose we set up a list of all the people who haven't updated their timelines and send them all PM's to do so ! We should include june july and august filers in the list.

Then we would have an idea of who has been approved and if they just have neglected to update their info .

Anyone else interested in helping? ...there aren't more than 100 pms that have to go out! hahaha....if several of us do it (like 10 people) we would just have to send out 10 emails!

If we get a response great! If not we know we shouldn't consider them as part of the list ...

just my two cents....It'll give us desperate ones something to do while we get approved ...

my fiancee saids the same thing today. i dint want to do it and possibly get banned. we have wacthed our number get closer, then we find couples without a timeline.

[StillThePrettiest 4]

why would you be banned? if it was a polite query, no one could object to that... I've thought of doing it before

[VetsWife328 7]

STP are you gonna put a new list together for all of us waiting ?

I know this has been a very very slow week at CSC with only 11 Approvals,but it'd still be nice to see a new list.

Thanks

Nat

I'm sorry for interfering here. This is only my opinion so apologies to StP if I'm stepping out of line.

StP very generously put together her list to take the weight off bszoom's shoulders when he quite rightly became otherwise occupied with his SO's arrival in the US. I think it's only fair that after months of providing such a valuable service, which she has to generate manually, we give her a break so she can concentrate on her upcoming interview and moving plans.

Igor kindly put together a list for CSC filers awaiting NOA2 here >>> http://cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/igor/vjdata/ .

Whilst Igor too has put a huge amount of work into it, the list is generated automatically and therefore is much lower maintenance and you can check for updates automatically.

The only reason that the two lists generated differing order was due to the delays in receipting at USCIS which caused some confusion here on VJ on which date to enter in the NOA1 field. I am sure that factor is pretty much ironed out by now and therefore there is no real point in two people generating lists - unless of course they really want to.

I wish you luck in receiving your NOA2.

Very interesting ... It will be interesting to see how long it takes you to get your NOA2.

Valentines Week turned out to be a real downer at CSC It would truly be nice to see all the July and longer filings get approved. I really feel for everyone that has been waiting for that long. When I fist joined this site back in October it seemed like the wait was about 4 months , 2 or 3 weeks till the NOA - 2 was issued. It is frustrating to see everyone that has waited sooooo long and to realize that the process is not really improving. While there is really little or nothing that can be done to make the situation better, its nice to know that none of us are alone. It is also great that Igor and STP have made the lists for us all. Its really great and it is also nice to read the some of your posts. We do have a lot of talented comedians here

Lets hope that this coming week will be better despite the government holiday !

All the best and may the approvals be plentiful !

Agreed with everything that Chris says above. "We are the chorus, and we agree. We agree, we agree, we agree, si man."

Today (Sunday) is the ninth consecutive day with no word from the fiancee -- no e-mail, no call, no nuthin'. I know that she was not dead as of Feb. 15, because Yahoo sent an automatic courtesy acknowledgment that my V.D. e-card (that's VALENTINE'S DAY, you of evil minds) had been picked up, presumably by her. That card was even in Spanish, si man.

In the absence of further information, I am optimistically relying on the last known correspondence from her (Feb. 7-8 vintage), in which she stated that she would be beastly busy with her business activities during February (I believe this). Perhaps she does not have time to share her daily activities by e-mail, and perhaps she would prefer not to write at all rather than send one-liners of "I'm really busy and have no time to write."

Still: [1.] The silence is unprecedented and awfully weird. I have almost even given up worrying about her (not really). [b.] How long will it last, and how long should I put up with it? I'm still willing to love her with all my heart if she has any interest at all, but selfish thoughts have crept into my mind of telling her "either show me the slightest attention or enjoy your new life... and, by the way, return your engagement ring and the bought-in-advance wedding ring at your expense." However, blindsiding her with this would probably draw a (very reasonable) response of "well, you couldn't visit me for months, so I had to get involved in something else, and this is it -- and I'm intentionally beastly busy now so that I can give you 100% for your visit in March." [iII.] Mama T-Bone says that NOT wanting to share your life and daily activities with your S.O. is not love. There may be something to this; because of her silence, my e-mails to her have dropped to one every day-&-a-half or so, and I'm sticking to the high points only out of respect for her busy-ness. But, although it stinks not to have anyone to tell anything to, I'll keep it up.

The conflicting surmisings are: On the one hand, she DID clearly tell me that she would be very busy, and she included a few major details thereof. On the other, she never clearly indicated that she would completely drop out of touch. I am hesitant to question her about the latter if indeed she's killing herself now to have time for me in March. I do perceive that she is acting like every North American career woman whom I've ever met (job first, man second), but maybe this is "job first for now, man first thereafter." I do not want to force her to give up something (her business) that she is genuinely gaining from personally and financially. (She undertook this as an outgrowth of my having unfairly criticized her in November for staying in lousy, pay-nothing jobs where she was abused, and for not saving anything toward the eventual marriage -- duh, T-B., duh duh duh. That hurt her greatly at the time, and I realized what a mistake it was.)

I believe that she would have told me something if she had changed her mind about my visit or our relationship; she's always wanted to talk about such matters before, si man. My inclination is to keep informing her of my doings and to add a comment of "I'm feeling a little left out -- whussup?"

So: Be patient until she comes up for air, and keep waiting? If so, for how long? Other? Si, man?

Apologies for rambling and dumping, but you are all my amigos/amigas here, si man, and maybe contributing on this issue will help keep your minds off the infernal wait for CSC, si man.

I apologize for the heavy language and disorganization -- believe me, a native speaker of English would have trouble with it, si man! Part of me believes that you are right -- I really did hurt her in November, and I forgot the cardinal rule, which is this: There are two things that one must never do to a Latina -- yell at her or criticize her. I will continue to respect her. In the meantime, though, it is hard. Gracias!
