Everything is going ok. thanks for asking. Were still waiting for the IV bill to be invoiced so we can continue this long process. It's been tough but were still hanging in there. Hope all is well with u and ur spouse. U know this isn't easy.

I'm a bit confused what to think right now. On December 1st 2014 we recieved the update that our I-130 case was approved then on December 4th it had another update stating that our case was sent to the Department of State for visa processing,...now it's saying on December 5th 2014 that my case has been approved. Is this common for cases statuses todo this? Is my case at the department of state or is it goin through the process again??

I checked my status and got an RFE. Not sure what other evidence they could possibly want unless they need my blood! :/ does anyone know what the common RFE are? I'm sure it's something simple but I'm really bothered by this after waiting for 7 months for a NOA2

I called a tier 2 officer today and they said TSC is currently working on April 2nd so I still have awhile I'm guessing. Patience is the key. Lol. Thanks for the feedback everyone. Good luck with your journey, I know it's not easy but well worth it

Haven't recieved a decision notice for NOA2 yet. Is anyone having the same issues through TSC that filed in April??

When I called a week ago they said TSC is currently working on april 2nd petitioners. I've noticed they've been working on that date for nearly 3 weeks now. :/ I've tried doing a service request and it keeps saying I'm within the time frame. It's very frustrating and I only wish they could truly understand what we all go through just to sit and wait for a response so we can start our lives with our loved ones.

Yes I've called a few times and everytime I call the USCIS they say they're in the normal time frame and to call back with 14-30 days if no changes. I see may and June filers getting approvals so I'm not understanding their whole process

I still haven't recieve a NOA2 and it's been since April 14, 2014. What is taking TSC so long??

I'm getting so anxious!! My NOA1 date for CR1 was april14,2014 and still haven't recieved my NOA2 yet or anything for that matter. I see may and June filers getting approved! I hope there's nothing wrong with my papers! When I call to put a service request in they tell me it's still in the 5 month time frame from when they recieved my petition and have to wait 30 more days if I haven't heard anything. Has anyone heard about any recent delays in TSC??

My husband is from algeria. Him and I have been together for almost 3 years. After a year and half we made the decision of me going and my second visit we got married. Almost all tourist visas being the first time applying will be denied. (Jussayin) My husband applied for one and the same happened to him. The embassy needs reassurance they have strong ties with their country and family and will return when the visa expires. Things are much different here and there but my experience was amazing when I went, nobody gave dirty looks or rude in any way. Many times being in resturaunts we were given complimentary fruit dishes and deserts all because clearly I wasn't from there and was an American. We would go shopping and I had some store owners give me small gifts welcoming me there so I guess different parts u visit there are quite different. Nobody said anything to us when we would hold hands. We didn't do it often as in that culture and in that country u just don't do that in public even tho we did see some couples doing it. From reading ur story it's clear U will have a difficult road ahead of u seeing the brother/s don't approve and u are hiding your relationship. If he finds out which he will it could be very dangerous for your girlfriend/fiancé. Keep that in mind that not ALL Muslims that say they're Muslims are good. In real Muslim culture they're not supposed to harm or do any bad what so ever but they're many that are very protective and take it to extreme levels, sometimes can be fatal especially if they feel as if she has shamed the family in which they feel they must do the unspeakable because of pride. Just be very aware what can happen. If anything I would definately try to talk to the brother or have someone such as a family member try talking to him, breaking the ice so to speak. The longer this relationship continues without him knowing and he finds out will not be good for her seeing his abusive tendencies. Another thing, just because she doesn't claim to be Muslim doesn't necessarily mean she isn't (in their eyes)..... Does she wear hijab and walk around as if she is? I'm asking this because when and if she has her apointment and that gets brought up in any of the questions the embassy there will definately frown upon that especially if she says she's atheist. Algeria is Muslim country and she's treading thin waters saying that. They will ask many questions about your relationship such as , does your family know and accept, does her family know and accept, do u have any physical evidence of your relationship such as pictures, videos, phone records, emails, skype logs. Etc.. How many times have u seen her and spent time with her and the family and what proof do u have backing that up? How long have you two been together and how did u meet? When did u propose and how? What do u have in common and what is ur interests and hers? Will u be willing to take on the responsibility financial wise if she does come?How do u feel and your family feel about her being a Muslim (even tho she doesn't claim to be),..how does her family feel about your religion? Not saying that they will base their devision on what her family thinks but I'm quite sure they will ask u some of these questions and will ask why they don't approve. Just be very truthful about everything. There's many things they may ask that u both should prepare for. I would definately try to get out here more than just once before the process is over with, ..it will show that u both are serious and willing to go the lengths to be together. Not trying to scare u in any way but just trying to give u insight of what may happen. The more evidence showing that your relationship is Bona Fide the better. I wish u both the best of luck on ur journey!!!

My first NOA1 was April 14,2014. Still waiting on for the NOA2. Any updates lately from TSC?

I'm an April filer as well. April 14th to be exact. Anyone here through the TSC with any good news? Still haven't recieved my NOA2 yet. Very anxious

That's what I was thinking. Ty so much.

We haven't gotten the NOA2 yet and waiting. My husband recently moved from Algeria to France to help his family. Should my husband ask if our papers can be transferred to the visa center in France before the decision notice or keep it how it is and schedule it for Algeria and just travel back there when his apointment date is? We don't want more delays on our papers but want everything done the right way as well.

I know it's hard to understand but all that happened is when I filed the I-130 I also applied for his citizenship along with it not thinking that I should've waited to apply after he comes here. So I sent all the papers in all at once. I received my NAO1 for the I-130. I only sent in the 420$ that was required for the I-130. (Thank god) I will definately be calling the USCIS again today and explaining again what happened and will take further action. They said everything is in good standing with my case still and is still in progress. I would hate for this all to be a waste after all the waiting and work him and I did just to be together. . Thanks for the feedback

Yes I'm very relieved that it's fixed. I can breathe again. Very scary especially after all this waiting and finding out it would be for nothing :/ I'm sure I will be calling in the next couple days just to verify it again lol

I fixed it. The woman I spoke with a second time said that seeing I petitioned for the I-130 for him and have already sent me the receipt they will catch the error or already have and will send back the other papers. She documented what was going on. I sent an email to the TSC as well explaining the mix up stating I contacted the USCIS so there is no confusion that he does live abroad and waiting for his apointment date.

Thanks everybody for the help. Ur all awesome

I just called USCIS and told them what happened. She said I need to go to the nearest office and explain to them so they can cancel out the I-485. Yes I got a receipt for the I-130 papers. The woman I spoke with mentioned she couldn't find an adress to the TSC otherwise I could write them explaining it would be no problem.

Thank u very much. I will definately check them out.

No I only sent the 420$ with the papers and I was just following what the lady had told me on which papers to file. Lesson learned.

Ok thanks for the help. It's much appreciated

That's the part I don't understand. That's what I thought about the I-485 as well but the embassy have me specific instructions to which ones to file. Omg I'm lost lol

No he has neither of them.

I got married in March and filed in April. I messed up on the numbers. I'm half awake right now at work. Been a long night. Lol

He lives abroad and hasn't filed for any visas. We only filed for the I-130 and for his green card seeing we are married I am sponsoring him

Honestly I'm new to all of this so I'm kind of lost to what the processes will be. I have an AOS. Can u explain to me what the steps r if u don't mind? Ty

Yes I'm still waiting for an approval or denial. He is in Algeria right now. And no I didn't send in any proof of employment with my papers. I can't believe I forgot that :/
