There is a topic here already that deals with April filers from NVC to Interview. So I decided to put a topic like this one because I think there have been several approvals from April and May filers. Post your NOA2 dates to NVC so we can get a good picture how long it takes now between NOA2 to NVC. It usually just takes a week or two, but I think now it takes about a month or so..those who have NOA2 alreayd and still waiting for NVC post here and also once your case arrived at NVC.

Your feedback would be much appreciated..thanks..

My NOA2 was 8/29 and I received a hard copy a week later. But NVC still has not received my case today. Also, when I checked online and called the automated status line with USCIS, my case is still pending with "On May 21, 2007, we received this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), and mailed you a notice...."

We received our NOA2 on 27th August but haven't heard from NVC yet. I have been checking other timelines and for most people that fill them in it seems to take a month to get from USCIS to NVC at the moment.

17th March 2010 - Started the removal of conditions process

22nd March 2010 - Application received by CSC

30th April 2010 - Biometrics appointment

Hey guys,

NOA2 on September 19th. I actually just called NVC (I know, wishful thinking) and of course they haven't received my petition yet. The person I talked to was NOT very friendly. I guess customer service does not get any better with this process! I had to call 6 or 7 times to actually speak with someone too. Oh well, eventually it will get there!

BTW, my status online at USCIS still says I am pending too, but I got that hard copy in my hot little hands! I'm just glad to have one step done. On to the next!

kits, I really, really hope you get your approval this week. I can't believe how long they are making you wait. I read your story and I think, wow, you have such a strong case. I can't believe they gave you an RFE. But keep the faith, you will get approved and you will be with your love. I know how unbearable this has been for you, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I am praying you will get your good news by the end of this week. :)

Thank you Musicgirl0912.. Yes I was really surprised that they wanted more evidence since we have known each other since childhood. It's not like the usual case where I met her when I went back home like a year or two and asked her to marry me. And when I sent the requested evidence I was really hoping to get my NOA2 soon. But I guess my officer who is handling our case is either just too busy or could be slow. Whatever the reason maybe I wish he/she may see that TRUE LOVE exists between me and my fiancee.. just give me my NOA2 please please... so that you don't have to work on them anymore officer.. so you can get rid our case and start on others heheheh..

I seriously don't get it....why does it take so long to mail the petitions? I mean the NOA2 states the USCIS is done with our cases...okay so mail it already!!! As if 140+ days isn't long enough, they make us wait some more. Grrrrr :angry:

I'd love to call someone at CSC and say "hey buddy, here's $100 can you grab my petition and take it to UPS?" :whistle:
