I checked my INS case status on their website and signed into my account. I received my NOA1 on August 27 and it says my case was last touched on August 30. Is this accurate? Do they update when they touch the file? If so, this makes me so sad.. Does this mean they haven't even gone through my papers or have had my fiancé investigated ? (By investigated asking his nearby neighbors questions about us etc)

Slow processing at CSC.

Why? The million dollar question. Nobody is accountable it seems. No reason given, other than "we're late, because we're late".

And you've discovered the wonderful world of "we decide what normal processing times are, not what normally actually is".

Just wait it out. There are many who share your predicament. But you really shouldn't plan on anything, until the visa is in hand.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I should've slowed down with the wedding plans. They aren't written in stone, I just made them in case they asked me for proof of intent to marry. I see that you've applied before me, I hope you get your decision soon. This waiting game isn't for the weak, which I'm slowly becoming. Patience isn't a quality I possess, lol.

When I hit 5 months, I called to make a service request and the tier told me to call back another month if I don't receive a decision. I called today, I know, two days before I hit 6 months.. But told the tier I've yet to receive a decision and would like to send in a service request. She said I wasn't allowed to since I was still in the "processing times". I don't understand!!!! She used the "working on July 18" but they've been on that date for two months! I am so frustrated I'm on the verge of tears. I planned my wedding for April 13, and now it's looking impossible. ? What's going on CSC? Help me understand

I agree. VSC is moving as fast as lightening compared to CVC. I've tried calling but I only end up with the famous line "processing July 18" which they say to all callers. People used to be able to send in a service request after 5 months and now it won't even let you after 6. Really frustrated

I am a little intoxicated because I need a way to put myself to bed instead of thinking about the NOA2. I've been having sleepless nights watching as VSC filers are being processed and CSC is moving slower and slower as each month approaches. I need my fiancé and I want to be with him now. I haven't seen him in months and its killing me I miss him so badly. I wish they would give us a clear explanation for the delay in processing rather then telling us "they are still processing July 18". Please please please someone give me some kind of news or fact they heard from CSC.. Does anyone know anything? The reasons for the delay? I just want to be with my soulmate...

So happy for you two.. I hope mine comes in soon....havent seen my soulmate in too long

Wish I found these forums sooner, it really does help knowing i'm not the only one who's going crazy over this!

I just read under the tab "immigration timelines" that the CSC is currently processing August 29, 2012 and VSC is processing July 17, 2012. Has anyone gotten any information that would be helpful to us that are getting impatient? I received my NOA1 on August 27, 2012. This sunday marks 5 months and I haven't heard any news on our documents even being "touched". I hope the timeline is correct and that CSC is really processing August filers. Good luck to us all !!!

Hey 129F family. I just read on the immigration timeline (on the top right hand side of the bars) that they are currently processing August 29, 2012 for the California Service Center. As for the Vermont Service Center, it states they are currently processing July 17, 2012. I'm a bit confused as I received my NOA1 on August 27, 2012 and have yet to receive the NOA2. I'm hoping us august filers will be celebrating with wine over the webcam soon, and soon after, wine and dine in real life! as Mr. and Mrs. ___

Please keep us updated, and I will keep you guys updated too. Best wishes everyone!

NOA 1 received on August 27, 2012. Havent heard anything since

Congrats! Wish I was in the same boat as you and on to the next step. But as my luck would have it, I received my NOA 1 on August 27 and have yet to hear anything! Best wishes to you and your love

Hello everyone!

This is my first post and I'm so happy I stumbled upon this forum. I filed the I-129F in August and received the NOA 1 on August 27, 2012. I have yet to receive the notification of my documents even being "touched" as I've read in other forums. The 5 month mark will be this Sunday and every day feels like an infinity. Being the girl petitioning the guy, I am anxious about wedding plans, invitations, and booking all I need. Good luck to you all, and I hope we all hear from the INS with APPROVALS!
