Hey I went 10 months to get my noa2 through TSC. It's hell, we know.

11 months from the day I filed. My fiancee was sobbing on skype the other day when it went over processing for the third time. I can't tell you how gut wrenching and how empty it makes a man feel to see the one you love sobbing and you can't do anything to help or change the situation. You gotta just keep digging deeper into your love for each other to hold on to it. I really am thankful for this experience. I truly believe if we both keep this experience in mind while married when tough situations come up we will dig deeper again. This experience either strengthens you or it will kill your relationship. You'll find out in time. If you're still waiting it happened for us 11 months almost to the day.

Actually I'm taking some good stuff out of this experience. My fiancee has calmed down and is taking it as it comes now. She realizes I'm fighting the best I can for us, and goes with the flow a lot better these days. If you can get through the horrible TSC experience it's a good tune up for marriage and riding out other situations together as a team.

My last RFE I put into separate folders for each requested piece of information. Each one labeled and put into a folder so they all stay together. A second rfe is basically saying someone doesn't want to pick up our cases for some reason. Saturday is the last day and then we are over normal processing times again. I think I'm going to call my congressman's office again on Monday. Think I should get an appointment at the local field office too right now. INSANE BROTHER!!

Anybody beat 290 days and waiting? Went over normal processing times, and promptly got an rfe. REturned to TSC on jan. 27th..... about to go over normal processing time AGAIN, on March 27th. THESE PEOPLE'S SERVICE IS A DISGRACE TO AMERICA!!

Maybe we have the same officer? LOL. Absolutely insane brother. I'm expecting the same thing in 12 days or so. They're going to rfe us again with some kind of idiotic request. They got it all. Looks like you guys and us are in for the long ride.

Well I'm coming up on 10 months and still haven't gotten to noa2. TSC of course went over normal processing times, and basically asked for everything to be redone. I neatly redid the entire packet and placed each section in a manilla folder labeled for even a moron to be able to follow. They've got 10 more days on the rfe before they go over normal processing time AGAIN. THESE PEOPLE ARE A DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY. That's how I feel about it. Thank God I have a loving buddhist fiancee who has rolled with it, even though almost everyone we came in with has already gotten their visa's and their loved one here. You get real sick and tired of hearing some California petitioner whining about 5 or 6 weeks or whatever. Come to Texas and really get your relationship tested is what I have to say to you.

Waited 165 minutes to get a Tier 2 officer on the phone today. Was told our file hasn't been assigned to anyone and hasn't ever been picked up or looked at. 7 1/2 months and not even looked at. A case number was assigned and sent to TSC I guess informing them of our file past normal processing times now. I doubt they give a damn.

The original poster that came in here and got things riled up was out of line imo, and that's why i told him to STFU. This thread is for people with noa1's in June who have had to endure a long wait. We've had to endure seeing MANY people get what looks like preferential treatment. We have had to see people get noa2's well before us, and know that uscis lies to us all the time on phones. The purpose of the thread is so that we can bind together to keep our love and our relationships moving forward through trying times. Sorry if I feel someone tinker belling in saying how wonderful his deal is getting an noa2 in some kind of obscene time frame gets bi*** slapped. Start a thread titled: Tinker bells who got a gift jan noa2. Meanwhile, I believe this experience has strengthened my relationship with my fiancee. That's something the tinker bell will never have cause he hasn't ever experienced it. I still have an noa1 date of june 5th still awaiting my rfe i just got. For the people still waiting I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that as soon as the clock has gone over normal processing times you go on a full offensive like I did. That means.....appointment at local office. ....calling and putting in requests with usccis that you are beyong normal processing time...... staying on the phone 165 minutes to get a tier 2 officer and let them know you are beyond normal processing time.... call you local u.s. congressman.... mine had a young lady very aware of uscis and their incompitence. Call you U.S. senators and get them calling uscis. USCIS logs all of this stuff. Once they get a squeaky wheel in the works they're going to do something to get rid of you. Up until going beyond normal processing time you are pretty much powerless. After that, IT'S ON!!!

Congrats Zaw: You know they have you on the radar and just a little bump in the road on your journey.

Very good news folks. Uscis has moved up it's normal processing time to may 6th now. If things go wrong within a month or so we should be able to file for expedition since we got no answer. Maybe not what we are all looking for but at least it is progress, and an understanding that we can be kept on a string for just so long.

Andies: It's usually 2 to 4 weeks more like 4 for an answer on rfe's from what I've seen. You should be coming up soon.
genr87: You can use igor's list to compile this.... count how many applications were done on those dates then change the filter to only approved applications and subtract. You then have your % of completions.
My noa1 date is june 5th.... there were 13 applications taken that day....only 3 of us are still waiting.... Hope people can understand why I'm getting tense... it's as if they just forgot us.

Congrats Yamen!! Glad to see someone right around me get some!!!

I found out by making an account on the uscis.gov website. I thought i'd either get something in the mail or the system would let me know i had been approved. To make a formal complaint your case has to go past their processing times. Presently that is april 5th according to them for the texas center. They change that every 15th of the month. So the worst is another 2 month wait guys. The ROCK BOTTOM. I think i'll go to my appointment on the 11th to get my paperwork since I never got any. Wow!! Honey is going nuts in Thailand at 4 in the morning now!!

Oh because a typhoon hits that's an expeditable situation but a coup de tat isn't? Hummm... A typhoon comes and is gone but my fiancee is listening to gunshots all night for a couple of weeks. Yeah you can say I'm on the hateraid when California people get expedited in 2 months and here in Texas it's 6. It's bullshit pure and simple.

Ok June filers I just finished a good call with USCIS. They told me that they are now processing NOA1's from March 4th. Since my application was 5 months old and I raised some serious hell with them I am now in for expedited service. I was given an expedited number, and told my application now will be processed within 30 days, and I should receive something in the mail within a week or so. Don't sit there and take the anymore June filers. There is no reason that people in the California service center should get noa2's 4 to 6 months faster than us. I'm not a second class citizen, and neither are any of you. Call uscis get someone on the line and raise hell. Squeaky wheels get grease.

You don't have to be Dohan. You are past your adjudicated timeline date already. Look at your timeline. If you call uscis and raise enough beef like I just did I'm sure you will get an expedited number like I just did. The agent called the Texas Center and I was on hold a few minutes. My new expedited number looks like this: T-1E ten numbers then TSC I have a funny feeling the E in the number means expedite and from TSC at the end. You can sit patiently or you can demand serivce like what California people get. I'm not a second class citizen. I've waited patiently for 5 months. I only deserve what other people are getting like in California Service Center.

Can someone explain to me why visa requests from the Phillipines get preferrential treatment? Filter out just Phil K-1 requests and look at it!! They get noa2's in 2 to 3 months while the rest of us wait 6 months. That's bullshit!

I don't think so. I got curious a few days ago and looked to see how many transfers did not occur and I think there is a huge number of April and May filers still ahead of us at TSC. We all jumped to the conclusion that with the transfers, they would skip right on into June - at least I did - until I remembered there are still large number of nontransfers waiting. I was hoping that with transfers that would speed things up from the predicted 8 - 9 month wait. It did, but I think our wait time is going to be right at 5 - 6 months with the way TSC is lagging, meaning approximately mid November - late December approvals for a lot of us. I had high hopes for TSC after the transfers, but it's sad that the transfers at CSC are getting approved faster than some March and April filers still waiting. As of now, standard 5-6 month wait or not, I have nothing but sheer hatred and contempt for TSC and our congress on their inability to reform our sad sack of an immigration system right now. . .
