Hay i got a touch today :dance:

Wow...Thats good news :thumbs: ...Wish you be approved sometime very soon...

We dont have news yet... :wacko:

We got our first touch dated 2-17-08...on a Sunday, but we'll take it.

Frankiebrina, your approval gave us a boost of hope as our timelines are very close! Hopefully this first touch means NOA 2 is right behind!!!!

Good luck to all of us!

I'm glad my vibes are working. I got touched yesterday too. Dont know why. As previously stated I was approved on Valentines day 02/14/2008. Now what? What happends next... how long does it usually take for my fiancee to get the package? Should I be preapring any documents. What are the next steps in this long visa journey? Can anyone describe what will happen next step by step and if i'll have to fill out anything else before she gets here? I'll be traveling to Brazil in 2 weeks for a quick vacation... should i take anything that she will need when she is contacted?

Give me the scoop...

Frankie

Hrm..

So today I received an envelope from USCIS with a letter stating they were missing a document from the file and cannot proceed until they receive said document.. sent it out for next day delivery this afternoon hoping that will keep the process going quickly.. but I'm a little bit disappointed, to say the least. They've had our packet for almost four months and this is the first I've heard that there was a document missing. It's very frustrating.. especially when it then says 'from the date this office receives your resubmission, a minimum of 14 days will be required to process your form. if you have not heard from us within 60 days , you can then contact the USCIS.' :crying:

I wonder how long this minor mistake will hold the process up now.. :(

Needless to say! That's why we were touched on the 15th.. hope everyone elses recent touches were worth more than mine was. Really wish that they would put what it was they were needing from us on that day too, or at least 2-3 months ago!

What can you do *shrugs*..

Hello my October buddies!!

I cant believe it! We got our NOA2 in the mail today!!! It says the notice date is Feb 14th. I am signed up for the email notification, but didn't receive an email at all. I check the USCIS page everyday but it only changed once on oct. 26th and once on feb 14th. I considered them both touches but i guess the 14th was the real deal!!! In fact it still says when I login that our case is received and pending.. but the paper is good enough for me!!

I was starting to loose faith in CSC with its poor performance since feb 13th... but have hope I am sure it is coming soon!! Hang in there everybody!!

Congratulations to Sweety&baby and kcgreene!

Also, thank you for posting your good news. Kcgreene filed at CSC, so that is especially encouraging--and knowing that it is conceivably possible that they've issued the NOA2 without updating their system is even more encouraging (my NOA1 took 8 days to reach me by mail, and I expect the same for the NOA2---this is what I get for living in the middle of the cornfields...).

Halle, sorry to hear that, but don't get too discouraged---the don't call until 60 days thing is to discourage you from calling. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee they won't take that long, but it will more likely be pretty quick once they get it. Most people who have gotten RFEs have gotten their approvals as soon as they mailed back the requested information, although there have been exceptions.
