marriage strictly for the Green Card. (Which woud prove to be difficult because that's exactly what it is.) So, you're asking advice on how to best defraud the USCIS? Answer: Don't even try!

Well, in my case, I live in Hawaii and my love is in Jamaica - not the easiest thing in the world to visit, especially since Jamaicans can not get a tourist visa.... Money, jobs, etc. We're close to the end now though

How eloquent......

The NOA2 is NOT an approval, just means your petition has been approved. Still have to do interview with supporting evidence, can still be denied.....

Nobody's forcing you to stay.....

Appreciate the responses. I didn't post this to complain about the waiting - I was aware of what I got myself into! I posted because I wanted to share the response I received from my representative's office......

So I just read about someone who got their NOA2 from CSC in a month and a half! While I'm very happy for them, I can't help but wonder how I can be sitting here, five months from receiving NOA1 and still be waiting? It seems that plenty of people who filed way later than me are getting their NOA2's so I guess I'm wondering if anyone knows why this is? Who at UCSIS randomly decides who gets expedited? I know military members get expedited but they can't all be military....
Just feels really unfair....No RFE either, just....nothing

Doubt that, but thanks for your input. I am originally from Sweden and my boyfriend is Jamaican so the "back home" does not apply....Besides I immigrated many years ago...and I didn't "dump" anyone, I was the "dumpee" at the time
