Still no letter from the NVC, a letter I was told I would "most definitely" get. Apparently the people doing my fiance's medical need it. Has anyone who went through the NVC gotten a letter from them? How long did it take?

Sorry to ask about something else but about how long did it take for your fiance to receive the packet from their embassy after your CEAC status changed to "Ready"?

Oh man I just booked the interview, it doesn't even feel real!

Congrats that's awesome! Quick question, how do you check your CEAC status? Thanks!

One of the senators I had contacted previously finally got back to me and forwarded me the email they received from the USCIS rep. They actually provided the UPS tracking number for the package sent to NVC. What's interesting is that when I looked it up to see if it'd been received I saw that it was mailed out on July 22nd while the USCIS site said it was sent out the 18th. I know it's not a big deal but I guess it doesn't get mailed right away all the time.

The hard copy came in the mail today, thank you everyone!

Thank you! @jfgk1987 you live in my area, how long did it take for the hard copy of the NOA2 to get to you after you got the notice online?

Hi everyone, I'm a January filer who was sent to TSC. I got some great help from my Congressman's office who called USCIS many times on my behalf. On Monday they called for a followup after speaking to a supervisor the previous Friday and were informed that we had been approved.

My only concern is that since then our status on the USCIS site still reads as initial review and I never got a text or email notice I'm hoping to get the hard copy in the mail soon. Has anyone else here who's gotten an NOA2 from TSC gotten their hard copy before the website was updated?

Congrats!!! May I know which congressman you contacted?

Ah @cmtlegacy so sorry I missed this before. I contacted Bill Pascrell, he's the local congressman of my area. I also had tried both Senator Booker & Menendez but got no reply so I would definitely recommend contacting your local congress.

Do the USCIS even work on weekends? Haha!

Yeah I thought the same thing but the congressman's rep called the USCIS while I was on the line and confirmed it. Hopefully working weekends will help them get through more applications.

Wow congrats!! Very happy for you. Although that phone call was unusual but hey glad u sorted it out

Thank you very much! I really hope you hear some good news soon too! I was informed by the person helping me that when a senator or congressperson's office calls the USCIS that they speak to different officers so once they call TSC on our behalf that we shouldn't do so on our own anymore because whoever we speak to will pull our file for review and delay things even further. I'm not saying that you will but just wanted to give a heads up just in case.

I called my congressman's office before and was informed we were approved! No change in status in the USCIS website nor next notice but the person who had been helping me called back and was told that we were approved over the weekend (which means that missed call from USCIS was about that) and that the case would be sent to the NVC.

I want to thank everyone on this thread, you've been a fantastic source of support and information. Anyone still waiting for their NOA2 definitely contact your local congressperson or senator if you haven't done so already. Every case is different and every state is different but it's a big help. Good luck!

Has anyone here ever gotten a call from the USCIS? I had a missed call yesterday but no voicemail. I looked up the number and it was USCIS but when I called it back I just got a message that it wasn't a callback number. They haven't called back, hoping they will tomorrow.

I called my Congressman's office for a follow up and to let them know that I haven't heard anything in the 3 weeks since they called on my behalf. Unfortunately I found out that me calling USCIS after they had called could have delayed the process since they pull your file when you call. She called them back again while I was on hold and told me that it was being given to a supervisor to reassign. She advised I call her back Monday afternoon and she'll follow up again. All in all this is a process that's hard to understand. Just hoping for that NOA2 by next week, we'll see what happens.

I called USCIS this afternoon, the person I spoke to gave me the December 3rd date so I asked to speak to a tier II officer. I got the call back within the 90 minute waiting period. I informed the person I spoke to this time that my case had been assigned to an officer (learned this from the rep from my congressman's office) so they sent a message to that officer and told me I should hear back from them by July 17th the latest. Not sure what this really means in terms of a timeline but all in all it's a step forward. I hope we all hear some good news soon.

On another note maybe we should start a thread for recent petitioners who were assigned to TSC and give a few do's and don'ts, i.e. do contact your senator or local congress person and don't read the general threads to avoid seeing how fast CSC is processing K1's.

Good news indeed! What is privacy consent form? Where did you fill it in?

Hi Tonester, every senator/congress person requires you to complete and sign a form that allows them to pull your info and contact USCIS on your behalf. If you go on your local senator's or congress person's website it should be on there, if not call their office and they can fax or email it over to you.

Some good news today. Yesterday I sent the privacy consent form to my congressman (Bill Pascrell) and I just got a call from his office. They called the USCIS and were informed that my case was being assigned and we should hear some news within 30 days. Definitely a needed pick me up!

Just read about an April filer receiving their NOA2 in 13 days...just wow. Congrats to them of course, but wow.

On days when it's slow at work it's really hard not to check our status. Will say though this forum is a huge help

@pmarshall congrats! The rest of us let's hope for some good news this week!

Hi everyone! Any word from January filers in the Texas Service Center?

Thank you! Looking at your timeline we filed and received the NOA1 a day apart, I hope we get some good news really soon

It can be noted on the NOA1 that it was transferred right away or they can do a transfer later on in the process. What prefix does your case number begin with, WAC or SRC?

It begins with SRC.

Hi everyone, I'm a first time poster here. If your case was transferred to California was that noted on the NOA1 or on the status page on the USCIS site? For me neither has any sort of indication so I'm assuming Texas is my service center (especially since I haven't gotten the NOA2 yet lol). Anyway, I'm glad I found this forum!
