I came to tell everyone here that after NOA2, everything seems move so much faster

My fiance just passed his interview and he is flying to Orlando before Christmas on the same day with me to see my family,

We are going to have a Merry Christmas.

Just to think about all the tears, frustrations and things we had been through, I like every one has been so positive and encouraged.

Thanks everyone and Wish you have a happy holiday!

Just let everybody know, we are approved today,

We almost lost hope yesterday, and "I worked all day"

When i got back, like 10 mins ago, My fiance called me and told me we are approved without a RFE

God Bless me!!!!

Thanks everyone here for the encouragement and support!!!

So desperate now, people from Feb keep hearing good news, but mine

Just wanna cry

I am so upset, depressed, i probably won't have a nice weekend, hoping the weekend is over, so they can work

Two more days, we are going to hit the 6 months mark, I am just so sad and depressed. God, please help me, please. Lately i fought and argued a lot with my loved one, he is so frustrated also. I am just too depressed

I am truly happy for those who got their NOA2 this week, very exciting and encouraging. Hopefully all you cases will forward to NVC soon enough to make up the time we lost.

I am still waiting, finger crossed, and God bless me, keep praying!

Ok, just another update

Just got off phone with them, what they have told me is Jan 16th, how many f**king days they have been worked on Jan 16th

Jesus, Please help me!!!!

I miss my hubby so much

NOA2!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy!!

Congrats，so happy for you ,

See, what have i said, as long as they have reviewed your case, you were gonna hear from them soon

we have been waiting exactly 1 month longer... we contacted our congress person- nothing, we've managed to put in a service request (21 days ago) - nothing, now we have contacted our senator and waiting for them to contact USCIS today and try to get our case expedite! and to be honest , I think it won't speed things up either... it is frustrating but we all have to think about our reward at the end of this journey our loved ones waiting there for us... the good thing is, it will happen! We don't know when but it will stay strong!

I am actually prepared for waiting longer than 5 months, because the slow VSC, and try to occupy myself a lot

Admire your positive attitude, just keep praying, I pray everyday, and in real life, sometimes it isn't fair, people who waits longer, and people who waits really short

Congrats!!! I just got my RFE reply response last night. I'm hoping my approval is right around the corner.

I think you will hear from soon, as i said earlier, at least they looked at your case

They probably put my case at the bottom of the drawer and forgot about it

Everyday I tried to encourage myself and my fiance that we are going to get NOA 2 soon, but every day is a disappointment for us, the only thing i can rely on the God now, this is not what i expected. There is a reason why God let us to wait, that's what i told myself, We will get it, maybe really 6-7 months

We are now halfway through the week with very few approvals i hope it picks up by friday. We need a good pick me up for everyone still waiting for noa2s.

It seems like they are still processing Jan cases, well, ours might be for another month, you know i gave up my hope everyday, if i can get by Sep, I will be thrilled, looks like i might get around sep

Hello, I've received NOA1 at the end of May, We haven't received any news from USCIS so far.

Usually When will we receive NOA2?

Well, I got my NOA1 on FEB 29th, so VSC is super slow now,be patient

I start to feel so bad now by just looking people who got NOA 1 on FEb24th have their interview on July 17th, which is today. I feel so discouraged, even with all my heart try to stay calm and positive, still i can't help feeling sad and helpless. Some people are just lucky, some are not i guess.

U guys are all feeling what I am feeling right now, it is a torture, and it is so unfair to see other people who filed in Mar,April got their NOA 2 faster than i did. We should all pray together, and stay strong, positive, let's face it, the day will come, and we will be with the ones we love.

NOA 1 2/29/12

well we see things from different perspective, you having your NOA2 in your pocket and being what? a month, maybe 2 max from getting your case number and me being X months away from it you see the difference? I do!I am not trying to prove anything here, just saying that people will always find sth to complain about not seeing that they are actually pretty lucky with what they have I am not talking about you, just in general... I am sure there is tens or hundreds of us here seeing people complaining about how NVC is slow ad thinking to themselves that they would actually happily switch with them

And just to be clear, I am really discouraged seeing other people from my service center being approved before me, even though they filed days/weeks or months after me...

I totally agree with you, I don't even know now do i need a RFE, is it gonna be another month

And

on the plus side, they REVIEWED YOUR CASE, which is more than alot of us have gotten

just dont waste time sending the RFE back and you might get a answer sooner than you think!!!

I think you are totally right, an RFE at least means they looked at your case, mine, I have no idea when it's my turn

Thanks for the info, Scott. That's very helpful!! I'm hoping I'm in that waiting period versus the NOA2 waiting period soon.

Hey, I received NOA 1 at the same date with you on FEB 29th, I haven't heard anything from them, after RFE, I believe another week or two, your NOA 2 will arrive, so stay positive, at least u hear something, I am getting sooooooo frustrated

Hang in there - it must me close. I am 5 months and 5 days since NOA1

Stay positive, we are all going to get it

Mine is 4 months and 2 weeks

Hi Darnell,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I should pat myself on the back for finally being free from the nightmare standing on her bully pulpit waiting to find the next victim she can scam and scream at.

Time to celebrate my freedom

Sorry to hear your experience, I hired a lawyer also, so far he seems very reliable, but needless to say i kind of got regretted bcz this whole process didn't seem like that difficult. I guess Me and my fiance wanna make sure everything goes smooth with a professional's help.

I saw ur NOA1 date is like 1 year ago,so what happened?

NOA 2 - Approved!

So just yesterday I was feeling hopeless because of our March 14 NOA1

and now.. wooohoooo!

Thank God!

Congrats, hope ur next step even faster, and give some of ur luck to me

It may be hard, but might I suggest people take a step back and breathe? Don't obsess over the USCIS site and Igor's list. Things will happen when they happen and nothing you do will change that. If there's a delay of a month, then a small blip on the radar of your life together. You will survive. It hurts, I know it does. Obsessing makes it hurt more. We all have energy to expend...only you can choose to be positive and creative with this energy or be negative with it. I'd much rather do something constructive and positive with my life than sit around worrying about something I have no control over.

------------------------------

This is encouraging, I would love to stay more positive, because I have checked USCIS more than 10 times a day, all my life was around it, and I lost my happiness. However, We need to be more patient and wait for amazing to happen

This whole process is frustrating and I miss my fiance every minute, we wait and wait not a slightly news, however, we should stay positive though, this Visa thing actually made me and him more appreciate our lives in the future. We are going to spend the rest of our lives together, so wait another 6 months, i think i can challenge that. Don't worry, be happy.

Does anyone know if they are hiring or are at least willing to accept volunteers at VSC? Because I will glady help out for free if they need more people...

LOL, I don't think so, working for gov't even without a detailed background check?

Wait is all we need to do now, i am getting crazier each day

Mary, I really needed that today. Thank you!

Hey, our NOA 1 date is the same, we should wait together, mine probably is slower than yours since my case is China

167 days here and counting ...

getting frustrated already? heh well my petition was received in Vermont on January 20th....

Did u give a call or something, anywhere over 5 months is over VSC's normal processing time, and i saw others like your time,some of them already got NOA 2
