I just checked my status this morning:

On November 23, 2021, we transferred your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number EAC********, to another office for processing and sent you a transfer notice. 

Hi all thank you for your comments and congratulations. I checked our status this morning and it was still AP. However, I checked again about 1pm PH time and the status changed to ISSUED. What's the timeframe between the "issued" status until visa delivery? We chose SM Moa 2go delivery. 

Hi all! We had the interview this morning at 6:40am in USEM. I was with my fiancee from the moment we entered the door of the embassy until the interview with the american consul. Right after the interview, we were told that our visa is "recommended for approval" then stamped it with something I did not see. Hopefully it says approved. They never gave back my fiancee's passport. Does "recommended for approval" mean anything aside from the obvious? He did not say that the visa was approved though. He could've said something like congratulations your visa is approved. I dont know if I'm overthinking. 

Also. He did not ask for my income tax, pay stubs, bank balance. Nothing financial related. So this got me worried. He did not even ask me what I do at work or how much I earn. 

He just asked for our pictures which we have plenty of. About 50 4x6 photos. He looked at a few and gave it back to us. He was also smiling while asking my fiancee how I proposed. 

Right now the status of our application is "adminstrative processing". So anxious right now. We're not sure if we did it right. Anyone on the same boat?

Thank you all so much for your effort in answering my questions. When we booked our CFO appointment, there was no options whether we want morning or afternoon seminar. We just submitted the application and got a confirmation email about the appointment (it was morning even though there are afternoon seminars). How can we change it to afternoon?

Sure can. She will need to return after getting the visa in her passport to get the sticker, but she only needs to do the seminar once (and can do it anytime).

That was a quick response. Thank you! So when registering, question # 4 asks "Do you have an immigrant / spouse / fiancé(e) / partners visa?". The answer for now is no correct? Thank you geowrian.

Thank you guys! Last question (hopefully), can my fiancee schedule the CFO seminar before the interview? Our plan is Thursday and Friday medical. Monday CFO. Tuesday is interview. 

Thank you all for the response. I have booked the hotel stay of my fiancee already Aug17 and 18 near St. Luke's MC. Does SLMC send the results to Usem electronically or by mail? 

Thank your for the quick response. August 17 and 18 is thursday and friday. Then the interview is the following tuesday. Is it not risky? Too close to the interview date that if she encounters problems with the medical, there'll be no time to fix them. Please advise. Thanks.

Is it ok to have the medical less than 1 week before the interview? Our interview date is Aug 22. And my fiancee is planning her medical on the 17th and 18th of August

Thank you all for the helpful comments and suggestions. Does anyone know how hard it is to find an available interview dates within a month? OR is there a website where I can check the available dates this august? Thank you.

Congrats! When did you received your NOA2? Sorry to say that I have no idea. And currently waiting for my NOA2.

Thank you! We filed last February.

Good day to all. Finally after 10 days of NOA2. We finally got our MNL # from NVC. Currently, our status from CEAC is "at NVC". I have read somewhere that I can schedule the interview and medical with just the MNL#. I searched but most results are outdated. Thank you in advance for the help.

The interview is finally scheduled for Aug 1st. @Missabc the earliest was July 20th.

 

For everyone that's still waiting on NOA2, please hang on a bit longer. It's gotta be soon.

Omg that is awesome!! I'm so happy for you. Congratulations. Finally the long wait is almost over.

Congrats!!! 

Thank you. You're one of the most helpful people here! It took mine 135 days. Hopefully to get my letter soon. 😀

To all those who are still waiting especially with the date of Feb 28! Our time is now! I suggest to call them and speak to a tier 2. Good luck to all.

Hiii. Thank you! We got noa1 on 6th feb. RFE on 25th may and they recieved our RFE information on 22nd june. They approved us 28th june. Quite fast. Before getting RFE and waiting, my fiance called and asked to speak to tier 2 and they wouldn't put him through as we were always in normal processing times. How long have you been waiting? 

Been waiting for 133 days. 😣

Really happy to announce that we got our noa2!!!

My fiance just called me. It's almost midnight here in England! Don't think i. Gonna sleep I'm that excited! Letter says it was approved 28th June and he recieved it today. SO HAPPY. Almost 5 months of waiting! 😊😊😊🇬🇧🇺🇸😍 good luck to everyone else waiting. 🤞

Big congratulations! Finally it is about time! Did you call uscis and speak to a tier 2 before june 28? Just curious.

My fiance was meant to call them yesterday but he had a hectic work day so he's going to do it tomorrow, we have tried before and we just got the generic 'your in normal processing time'. It's a comfort knowing I'm not the only one waiting on this date, if I thought it was just me alone I would be an absolute mess. Maybe the persons desk were sat on has been on a extra extra long holiday.... to the moon. 

I agree. Knowing that I am not alone kept me sane. Maybe our file was placed on someone's desk to be checked, then that person grabbed a bunch of March applications as well and was placed on top of our applications since we're a day from March 1st. Now our envelopes are under March files. That's just my theory.

Hello February filers,

 

Congrats to the ones that have already received your NOA2, 

And for the ones who haven't, we're on the same boat. 

It seems like my case has been buried of forgotten.

We have the same dates and I know there's a couple more with the same date as us, It seems we are sat on someone's desk catching dust, honestly feel so fed up 

It's strange that Feb 28 were ignored. After 132 days, we're still here waiting for that damn approval. I'm trying to stay positive but waiting and not knowing what is going on is terribly hard. Have you guys tried speaking to tier 2? They are not very helpful as we're still "within processing times". I don't know what else I can do to let them know "hey you forgot about Feb28".

Congratulations to everyone who got their approvals and those that are about to get interviewed - I wish you luck! 

Day 132 for me today. 😔 I don't know what's going on. Called uscis tier 2 and was given the generic response "within the normal timeframe." 

There are still several Feb filers (myself included) who are still waiting as well. You could call USCIS and ask to make sure. Good luck and hopefully you get yours this coming week.

How did you get  to talk to Tier 2? Any tips and tricks?

 

I was never able to convince the person on the phone to transfer me to Tier 2...

 

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always get transferred to a tier 2 officer. Just be calm and be nice as much as possible (i know it's hard). Don't ask them right away to transfer you. Let them do their job and help you first. I usually ask for my current status. Then politely tell the tier 1 that you called few weeks ago and was able to speak to a tier 2 officer and he/she informed you that your case is still... (tell them the status). Then tell them that tier 2 asked you to call again some time this week to follow up.
