  1. I hear ya.

    It took me 42 days to get the NOA2 after an RFE (forgot to check yes/no on criminal background).

    I did a service request on day 35 and it may of taken longer than 42 days if I didn't.

    It then took them another 25 days to send it to NVC (had to call USCIS and talked with a tier 2

    to get an "expedite"). Got NOA2 on 6/4/12 NVC received on 6/29/12.

    I'm hoping it is at least sent to the consulate now. I don't want to do the request/calling game with

    NVC as well.

    I have to bone up on the rest of this process now. I am just relieved to get this far. Maybe I should try to expidite the sending to NVC right away?

  2. Finally, I was not sure what was going to happen but I got the NOA2 approval today.

    To the extent that it may help others here is a brief overview of my efforts. My filing date was Dec. 2, 2011. In April 2000 I recieved an RFE requesting copies of my divorce decree as filed with the local jurisdiction. I forgot the exact words but I had sent a copy of my divorce decree that was entered in 2008. The copy I sent had been provided by wife's attorney and did not have a court stamp showing it had been filed in court. I ordered a certified copy and sent it off and my RFE reciept date was April 25th, 2012.

    After revieing these formuns I expected an approval withing two weeks of the submission. The notice said I should have decision by 60 days from RFE but most people reportied getting approval withing two weeks of the RFE. When the approval did not come within two weeks I called and put in a service request. I followed up after fifteen days of the service request and was told by CSR that the reply to the service request was that I would have should have a decision in 60 days from the service request.

    It seemed that VSC was just kicking the can down the road so to speak. So I follwed the email follow up proceedure by sending an emal to follow up. I had no response so within the 21 day period and send the ten day email. ( using terms for those who know these proceedures). In addition, I contacted my congressman and followed their proceedures and the congressman's office sent an email.

    I got a boilerplate respons from the 10 day email. However, Monday of this week, I was suprised to get an email from VSC that in repsonse to my email, my petition was being expidited and I should have a decision very shortly. Today I my status was changed and the petition approved.

    The link pasted below shows the email follow up procedure I referenced in this post. I am not sure if any of my efforts helped in moving the case but I wanted to record my experience in the event someone finds it helpful.

    I will have do a Tebow here and thank God becaue he is indeed ultimatly in charge of all things. Thank you Lord.

  3. I just can't believe it. Yes it is such a battle between my head & my heart. I just don't want to believe it but it's like the facts are right in front of me. I guess I just wanted someone someone else to hear my story to confirm what I know to be true.

    So if I understand what you're saying is I need to bury my emotions & wait until our appointment before saying anything? I am on the verge of tears all the time now, I don't know how to hide that. Ok, does my letter need to be notorized? Do I start divorce or annulment proceedures? Can I do this without claiming fraud? Remember I love her with all my heart & even though this is happening I would hate to ruin her chances for reentry into the US later. My heart hurts so much...

    What a horrible thing to go through. It is so hard to deal with your own emotions. Apparently you know what you have to do but you are just having a hard time doing it. There is no easy way. If you cut this gal lose you have a chance to find someone that cares. I am putting my situation in God's hands and asking his protection and to open or close doors.

    God be with you, Jesus is with you in your pain.

  4. :crying: i am not too sure exactly when my baby put in the application cos of his busy schedule he doesnt even remember what date exactly so my timeline for the noa1 might even be wrong ,however we did recieve our Noa1 email confirmation on june 13th am seeing something here like there seems to be a backlock at the VSC? is that true .cos i know it might take almost 6 months to get an NOA2 i dont really mind the wait but what i do worry about however is the consulate here in Ghana .THEY ARE ALWAYS SLOW.its really getting to me this wait! i need a vaction from all this.PLEASE INFORM ME OF ANY CHANGES IF U ALSO FILLED AT VERMONT :help:
