To all of Vjers, I got approved last night. Received my NOA2 today about 10:00am. I am so happy. I am blessed to have this site to get my information. I hope all of you still waiting here get good news soon.

and if so, can i get a duplicate? thanks

I am referring to fiancé visa

I realize that it is a case by case basis but i was wondering for all of you married to a Filipina, if we receive our NOA2 by the predicted date on my timeline September 11, 2015, is there a reasonable chance my fiance can arrive before Christmas. Thanks for the input.

Sorry to hear that Micky. I had to leave my love in the Philippines on August 2, 2015. Surprisingly I was strong up until the time I walked in my house and had to stare at the emptiness. I would think back to the time when I turned around and saw her standing there at the airport. I just wanted to drop my suitcase and run and hold her in my arms one more time. That wouldve been a sight- a 240 pound man charging at a petite Filipina lol. It will be tough but knowing my NOa2 will be here in a few more weeks keeps me going. I hope all of us at TSC hear good news soon.

I went twice. Once in February and last week for 2 weeks. It's sooo hard to say goodbye but that's the reality of the situation now. I am a school teacher so money is a concern. Luckily I gave a second job and used those earnings to be able to go.. Patience had to become my virtue but I realize many people have waited much longer than me.

I'm at TSC I missed the transfer by one week. My NOA1 date is 3-23-15.

All of us people who are stuck at TSC have been waiting very long for our. Noa2s for long periods of time. I have been waiting 140 days which is plenty but not near the 250 days plus people. So while I hate the wait I realize there have been people who have waited much longer than me. Also I cannot bitter for those who got routed to CSC because it's not their fault the process did this. They had no control of that. The only time I get upset is if I see a CSC applicant complain about a short wait period. What's the point? I am writing just to put my specific case in perspective. I know it will eventually happen and I have to keep the faith it will happen soon. If I don't do this I'd drive myself insane.

I am confused. When I sent my I129f packet off in March I got a text message on 3/20 stating they received my case. On the USCIS status page in the case history section it says my case was received. In the case received section it says they received my case on 3/23. Which is the official? 3-17. 3-20. Or 3-23? I know these dates are close but a day here and there can make a difference for noa2?

Same here. Filer from the Philippines. Been almost 130 days for us which I am not complaining at all. i feel this process is moving along and hopefully by mid-September I will hear some good news. Good luck to all of you fellow March filers. i am currently in the Philippines now enjoying the last three days with my fiance before i fly back to Louisiana. I will miss her dearly and it has been a magical two weeks. i am tired of telling her goodbye as I know many of you are to your spouses as well. The next time I see her, hopefully it will be the last time we are ever apart. Good luck yo all of you guys. Prayers for a speedy resolution to all of our cases.

Thank you Penguin

Getting excited Kyle. I believe we will hear something soon.

Wow, great news. I am leaving for the Philippines to see my fiance Friday. I would love to be with her when we get NOA2. I'll be there for two weeks. I know that may be pushing it a bit, but it would still be awesome. Good luck to all of you March filers.

Do I count my NOA1 as the date i got the text or the date USCIS says they received it? Could make a difference. i got my text on 3-20 but USCIS states they received it on 3/23/15.

My fiance moved to another condo within the last week and a half and I called USCIS to ask them how to change her information for the I129f application. The agent told me to write them a latter stating the new address along with a copy of my NOA1 and send it to TSC. I did so but failed to ask him if this would delay my case for any length of time. I wanted to hear from you veterans to get your opinion as to if this would delay the processing of my application in waiting for NOA2. Thanks.

While waiting for NOA2 from original i129f, my fiance has moved to another condo. How do I let USCIS know and will this have any effect of delaying the already long approval time? Thanks.

To me, it looks like, according Igor's list (yes I know it's not the official USCIS list), that TSC is picking up the pace for NOA2's the past few weeks. My projected adjudication date has moved up as well. I hope this is a real trend and that all of you well-deserving applicants from Dec-now will finally get your petitions approved. Good luck to everyone.

It's a crying shame that some of you guys had to wait as long as over 230 + days. Kind of makes me wonder what they do there at TSC all day. I wonder if it's like at the school I used to teach at. When I would go to get my classroom ready, the janitors were always on break and then when school would start they would have to scramble to complete their work. I'm not saying it is like this at TSC, but 230 or more days? Makes no sense. I just hit day 100 today and pray that I get my NOA2 within 3-4 months. Would be a nice Christmas present. Good luck to all of you at TSC who are still waiting. I am praying for all of us.

Thanks. That clears it up. That's why this site is so beneficial. Someone always has an answer.

I have a question. At the initial stage of submitting the i-129f the service center looks over the packet. If they approve it, nyc just processes it and sends it off or do they further scrutinize it? Is there some kind of approval / denial stage there or does that come after medical / interview?

I'm not asking the specific date but just the day of week.

In the initial filing of your I129f what time and day of week did you receive your good news? Do they sometimes happen during no working days and weekends? When I get mine in a few yes (lol) I'm wondering to expect.

I have a coworker who sent an i129f form for a woman he met from Indonesia. After sending it it his fiancé told him that the year of birth is wrong year of birth. She's actually younger than she told him and stated she never changed it back home. What should he do? Withdraw and resubmit or hope no red flags show up?

I am asking you guys will it be necessary for my fiancé to provide transcripts from her schooling at any time during the process. I want to prepare for this in advance of our visa issuance later down the line.

Totally ridiculous for some of you September filers not to get your NOA2's yet. I filed in March of this year. I'll be lucky to be approved by 2027. Seriously though, good luck guys I hope you hear something soon. I'll pulling for you.
