I didn't have an hour to wait on hold last time I called. (I can't do callbacks since I live overseas--ugh!) I'll talk to Tier 2 on Monday.

We're also waiting for an approval. My husband called couple of weeks ago and spoke to Tier 2 and they will submit a case and my husband was asked to wait for approximately 60 days for the result or callback if in case there's no response from them at all.

I hope Texas SC will do something.

This is getting ridiculous...

What did your husband get them to do, file a service request?

Yes he filed a service request and the person he spoke to said we have to wait for the result within 60 days and call back if we wont get any.

I hope we'll get a positive response soon.

Anyone got approved today?

I hope TSC is doing something so we could get our approval and we can move on. My husband called few days ago and now we're waiting for "within 60 days" result.

I miss my husband every single day.

My husband and I met on a dating site last year. We dated for 3 months and he decided to come and visit. Not only to visit but to ask me to marry him. He was here April 2013 and we got married June 2013. I didn't thought it was possible but YES it is!

We've been married for 11 months now. Happy and in love!

For those still waiting for approval, when you check the status of your case on the USCIS website does it say "Initial Review"? If so, when was the last time that information was updated? Mine says it was last updated on 23 October.

I ask this because from what I can figure my application has not been touched at all since it was submitted, is there a way of knowing if it has been assigned to an officer or is "moving"?

OUrs says "On the 29th of January an Alien no. was assigned."" that's the last time it was updated. I hope we get approve soon.

My husband called two days ago and the lady he spoke to said that TSC is still working on September backlogs. She offered to submit a service request and my husband has to call back after 3 weeks.

I'm thinking maybe the people in TSC are just getting whatever they can get and not following the order it was received.

TSC please move fast as you can!

I guess I will have to get the hubby to call because it's been over 6 months now for us also.

Keeping every one still waiting in my thoughts and prayers

Same here I asked my husband to call since it has been 6 months and 3 weeks now and we still haven't gotten any news. Hopefully we'll get a good news this week.

TSC please move!

Is Cebu worse than Manila? 1 AM? I heard 3 AM is OK for Manila. One lady who got there at 2 AM reported that she was #2 on the line.

I went there 1AM and I was already #7. I just went early to make sure I can join the seminar that day and I don't have to go back again.

I know they require 2 government issued valid id's, will the NBI clearance and Passport work? I dont have any other valid ID's aside from that

Yes those were okay. I was in Cebu City CFO couple of weeks ago and I lined up 1AM just to make sure I will be able to get a slot. After 3 tries I got to finally join the seminar. They only cater 12 slots a day for US and Canada.

Make sure to bring

- a picture of you together

- divorce decree or divorce certificate

- photocopy of your husband/fiance passport

I was asked the following.

- How did you meet?

- How do you communicate? How often?

- How many time did your husband came over to visit. What are those dates?

- Why do you love him?

Good Luck!

I hope TSC approvals will slowly move starting monday. I didn't see TSC approvals this week. Been waiting for 6 months now.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

TSC please show us some moves!

This is the CR-1/IR-1 forum we're waiting a long time for NOA2 unfortunately.

Hopefully next week you'll get your NOA2. Hopefully we'll get ours too. Good luck to us!

There's a spreadsheet for people who filed in September 2013 in my signature. There's been a few from TSC approved.

I'm browsing the spreadsheet. Thanks! It's nice to see approvals from TSC!

We filed with TSC October 31 and we were approved march 10 at interview. Good luck to you!!!!

Congratulations! Good luck with the interview!

I hope their would be a good news for us come next week.

I've seen a lot of October filers who already got approved from CSC. I wonder if there are from TSC?

CONGRATULATIONS to those who already got an approval!

I hope to get the approval soon. I wonder if the case status is updated. It didn't show any notification that the petition was transferred but I remember few weeks after my husband sent the I-130 we got notification that it was transferred to TSC.

Should I ask my husband to call them? Do you have any no. we can call?

ask your fiancee to ask the doctor why does she needs to pay more. everything is already included in the medical fee. it's a one time payment.

Yes. she has to attend the cfo seminar so she can get a sticker. I attended the orientation seminar last week here in Cebu City.

Your fiance can attend the seminar in Manila or Cebu. I'm from Cebu City and I went to the CFO office few days ago. If she wanted to attend the said seminar here in Cebu she has to fall in line as early as 4am. They only have 12 slots per day here and it's first come first serve. In my experience, I went to their office as early as 6am unfotunately when I got there I was already no. 80 in the list and I was not able to attend the seminar at all. I have to go back again and make sure to be early.

What's up with the Pre Departure Orientation Seminar? Where is this seminar held? How long does it take and when can you complete it? Can you complete it before your Embassy interview? From what I read its required for 12 or older?

I read a post where you can fly to a different destination other than USA and its not required but we will fly direct from Manila to USA.

Thanks for any feedback!

Scott

My husband and I tried it yesterday and today, it's not loading!
