This really sucks. We wait seemingly forever for a NOA2. When we finally get it, her passport and DS-160 filed, she gets online with the Embassy in Manila only to find out there is no availablilty for appointments!!!! Grrrrr! She checks every day. She e-mails and receives courteous replies telling her that there are no available slots for fiance interviews. Our approved K-1 application expires July 19th. Are there any Pinays encountering similar situations out there? What happens if there are no "slots" by July 19th? For the love of Zeus!!!

Received hardcopy notice from NVC today dated April 11 stating they received our approved I-129F petition and were now forwarding the petition to the Embassy in Manila. It won't be long now.

I kept calling every week the National Visa Center and finally today got a Case Number. Hurray!

I just almost had a heart attack!!!! NOA2!!! BOOYEA!!!!

Congratulations guys! We are really happy for you. It took us about the same amount of time (135 days, I think). Most of the time, patience pays off. Good luck to both of you.!!!

I've kept up with everyones progress, although until now stayed silent, I wish you all the very best in your journey,

I regret I will not see mines happily to the end. I'm withdrawing my petition

The same thing happened to us on our first petition. The length of time it took to process our K-1 took such a toll on our relationship that it strained both of us. So, I withdrew our application voluntarily. Then, about 6 months later, after a long back and forth plus another visit, I reapplied on November 1st and we got our NOA2 on March 20th.

Our condolences. If it is meant to be, it will be.

Please take care.

How do you find out your case number after you find out your NOA2 has been approved?

YAY!!!! Finally, TSC came through. With a NOA1 of November 5th, we finally got approved. Thank you all for your moral support. We made it through with patience even though we had frustration seeing others getting visas with NOA1's in January.

We are Happy, Happy, Happy!

YEAH!!!!!!

Our NOA1 was November 5th. Way to go TSC. I knew you could do it.

We have both been so patient, yet frustrated seeing January filers already getting visas. But, TSC finally came through. Thank you all for the moral support. WE ARE SO HAPPY!

For those of you still waiting, it will happen. Have faith and patience.

One more disappointing week with no news from TSC. November 5 NOA1. So disappointing to see January filers get their visas already while our file is still gathering dust on some desk jockey's in box.

Still no news for us......hoping that all of us who are still waiting will get NOA2 really soon.

Tell me about it K&Z. Nov. 5 NOA1. Still nothing. Grrrr.

Here's hoping this will be the week for NOA2...!!!!!

I hope so too. We've been NOA1 for longer than you. The only time I called in, they told me to wait until 5 months had elapsed. For us, that means April 5th. There is also a very long wait in the Philippines for interviews. The only thing I can say as the petitioner is that I love Cecille and will wait till hell freezes over for her. Such is life. Good luck to you ERE&RVV!

NOA1 November 5th according to their website. Still nothing.

Congratulations to all recent NOA2 recipients! We are happy for you!

Congatulations all new NOA2 approvals! We are happy for you.

Greetings all Nov. filers!...I've been following the threads and just thought I'd post my recent activity to help ease any worries about TSC approvals. Thanks all for so much usefull info and keep hope alive for all those still playing the waiting game. You're days of joy are coming! God Bless us all who've comitted to endure this process!

NOA1 November 8th 2013

COME ON TSC!!!! RA RA RA! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

And everyone who already has their NOA2, congratulations! But, please stop whine-ing. Our NOA1 was November 5th and we aren't complaining. No system is perfect. Gazillions of people want to come to our country. So, the next time you complain, look at Australia, for instance. Or other much less desirable countries' policies regarding immigration. I'd say the good old USA, even with all its warts and zits, is doing a pretty darn good job considering 75% of the people in the world would move here if they could.

My two bits from a good ole Southern Boy.

NOW GO TSC!!!!! I believe.

Still on the bench at the bus stop. Nov 5 NOA 1. What did I ever do to deserve this? Call in and told to wait until April 5th. Okeydokey. Hope that bus doesn't skip our stop. It seemed to be a bullet train for most everyone else at TSC. Have a good day. Patient, yet disappointed in Mississippi.

Thanks Sparkle and all of you. Yes, we are still waiting and waiting and waiting. Still no NOA2.

It will happen for you guys soon cause I am praying for you two!!

I am sure you have called USCIS right? What did they say?

They said, "Wait until 5 months after NOA1."

Happy for y'all! Truly. Sure sucks for us.

Whoo Hooo.... Congrats!

Congrats. Guess we've just been forgotten.

Maramimg salamat po!

We will pray for a speedy process for you too!

Congratulations! It's been 90+ days for us waiting for NOA2. We're glad for you. Still sad for ourselves.

UUUMMM.....

Got a text message at 9:45 PM, actually while I was Skyping with my fiance, so it was awesome to be able to share that experience at the same time

Thanks everyone for the really great support so far!!

Praying that the rest of the process goes smoothly (crossing f

Now my fiance and I are praying for everyone else that is still waiting!!!

Awesome! Congrats on getting approved!

I know it's easy for me to talk, but I do remember feeling that way. Hang in there, you two (or four, really ). It WILL happen, I'm absolutely sure. *Hugs*

Congrats to all that got approved. Yes, it is frustrating. Our NOA1 was November 5. We have heard nothing. One phone call and told to wait until we hit the 5 month mark. Oh well. We are in love and patient. This is the hardest part of the Journey. Hopefully, she will be approved soon.
