Our NOA1 notice date is March 11, 2015. We have heard yet. What angers me is that i have seen cases that were filed after ours and are at TSC and they have already been approved. I even have case number of one. USCIS says they service on a first come, first served ibasis. I debated that with a USCIS rep many times. My fiance is from the Philippines and i have heard whispers that Filipinos get quicker turn arounds. I am here to tell you that is not our experience. In an effort to get more information from USCIS, i asked if our seemingly long "nothing" period is due to us being same sex. She said no. VJ folks, in no way am i claiming discrimination atall. It was a thought provoking question i wanted to catch a customer rep off guard with. We have had no RFE's either. We interviewed and selected an agency in PI that does visas. I brought all i needed when i was there on vacation in Feb-March 2015. My partner had everything he needed prior to my arrival as well.

In closing i have come to believe that the customer service reps at USCIS are useless. We cannot do anything until we are past normal "processing times" whatever the heck that means. This is the most overwhelming experience i have ever dealt with in my life- on every level....it does take it's toll. My partner and i have agreed to essentially believe that he will not be arriving in Massachusetts until February of 2016. If the US government can make systems so tens of millions of citizens can track their tax returns with the press of a button, why can't USCIS have a system where the LEAST they can do is tell us where our case is and the status thus far.

I will continue to hurry up and wait!!

Newbie here,

Our NOA1 is dated March 11, 2015. It has been just over 120 days and we have heard nothing. It took USCIS 3 months to put it on their site that we have a case. Have called many times to find out status. Just found out they are pretty useless and can only tell me what i can see(at least that is what they said). TSC says it is working on I-129F petitions from October 2014, yet here it is listed as December 25, 2014. This is confusing. I am wondering if our case is being held back because it is same sex. I live in Massachusetts and my partner lives in the Philippines. I have seen several petitions filed after ours get their NOA2 and another case filed just under a month from ours and they already received NOA2 as well. I called USCIS yesterday and voiced my concern about the possibility of being discriminated against...they replied absolutely not.

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Thanks
