Wanted to update you on how long it took to get the interview scheduled. Today, my fiancee received "packet 4" which was the interview appointment letter. It is scheduled for August 19. We tried to be proactive once we got the NOA2. Pestered NVC until we got the LND number. Scheduled the medical as soon as we had the number. This was while the case was still at NVC. Once CEAC said the case was "Ready", we went ahead and submitted the DS-160 and the Readiness form. This was all before she received Packet 3. Then we waited. Also, we did put down a wedding date that was sooner rather than later. Can't say whether that works or not, but interview is only 11 days away.

When submitting, they do allow you an out. You may not "remember" the exact date you mailed, so you can enter in just the month along with the 1st of that month as the day. I realize that it is bending the rules, but after 5-6 months, you will try anything.

Check the trending chart for I-130's and I-485's. You will see that TSC has a lot more of those, recently. In fact, there was a sharp uptake in 130's for TSC dating back to Sept 2013. I think the 129's are competing for attention.

Hey guys, while I was waiting for almost 6 months for approval, I decided to keep a chart of a bunch of SRC numbers that were below mine. I found about 70+ plus numbers that were for I-129F, and they pretty much had dates that matched. Periodically, I would scan through and update them if anything happened. There was a rare approval or an RFE, but not much activity. Anyway, it has picked up as of late, but yesterday was a huge update. Of the 71 numbers I had charted, 13 got approved on 07/07/14. Only 13 had been approved prior to that. I would say that this whole "working on Dec 3rd" is BS....which you guys already knew.

Thanks. I did put in an e-request last week, but took someone's advice to just put December 2013 as the receive date. My e-request was accepted, and I got back a response saying I should get a status update by middle of July. Instead of getting that update, I received the NOA2. I wonder if I will still get some response back about the e-request.

Been lurking for awhile, but decided to officially join once we got some good news. Essentially 180 days to the date, the NOA2 finally came. Got a text/email around midnight last night. Someone at TSC was working late.

Thank you very much. There are still too many waiting. Wish all the TSC people with NOA1's in previous months had their approvals as well.

More good news for January filers...congratulations!!!!
