It's obviously rigged, but it's what we have to work with. 

But we can also use that in calling them. Letting them know that their system, the only oen we have to go off of, hasn't been updated in 2.5 months. That means they are well beyond December 15th and should start using the next date they pull out of thin air.

There are many people with that date with approvals. There is no logical flow to things over there that we can see. We just have to wait and keep an eye on the date on the USCIS website

 

https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processTimesDisplayInit.do

 

Choose CSC / Service center processing dates. We are unmarried K1.

 

If your NOA1 date is past the date they have posted, you can officially ask USCIS what's going on. You can also roll the dice and try calling them before you cross that date, but if you read up at what I just posted, there is a possibility that calling early might help or hurt you. Generally, you just have to wait, wait and wait some more.

 

Perhaps it will make you feel better to know I have been waiting 130 days and still no NOA2.

What's incredibly annoying, is that they have been saying they are working on December 15th for over a month now. And on that link you send, it says this is accurate as of March 31st. IT'S JUNE 10th USCIS, So as on March 31st, (for 10 damn weeks) you have been processing ONE DAY. GTFOH!!!! 

Sorry it's in Spanish, but that is the configuration of my computer and this page won't change to english for me....

TriloByte I bet my application is right next to yours lol. My number is WAC1790199389

We can be the three amigos. Mine is lost in La La Land. 119 days, and I booked a trip back to the US for the end of this month to be able to speak to a tier 2, and I will also be making an appointment at the USCIS in Philly. Wasting money I just don't have because of  lack of support we get from them

Good afternoon!

I usually view this site from three devices, phone, home computer and work computer. I have been locked out of my phone and home computer for a good while now. I had been emailing with people in support, but no link they sent back to me worked. Can someone get in contact with me and help me rectify this? There has to be another way other than creating a new account. 

My thought is that I have to be logged out of VJ on my work computer, to be able to create a new password. But I am afraid to do this in the event I am unable to log in anywhere. PLEASE help. 

Thank you!

Hey everyone who is still waiting for NOA2. I just had an emotional breakdown this morning after seeing yet another day with no letter in the mail. This is on top of one of my kids moving on to middle school and leaving elementary school behind. In many ways, I feel like my class (all of my friends here who have their NOA2s) are my graduating class, and I have been left behind. It's a tough road, this is, being separated from the love of my life, with all of the emotional torment that comes along with it, and still trying to keep up with my daily life. There's nothing magic here that I am trying to say. I guess I just wanted to say that I have picked myself up off the floor again, and am trying to carry on. To anyone else out there that's suffering like me, you are not alone, and I understand what you are going through.

114 days as of today. I know just how you feel. This emotional roller-coaster is unlike anything I have ever been through before. I wasn't able to log into this site since Friday, and I was hoping to hear things within USCIS were fixed and they were racing through things. Nope!!!!

I posted about this a month ago in the January thread and here I am still waiting and seeing the same.

 

The way the government handles this is unethical IMO. If the case is to be sitting for 5 months, why not reach out and set an expectation. 

 

I think the widely accepted assumption on this forum is that there are a bunch of workers who are given a "stack" of cases to work on. Why in the age of such awesome technology are we processing applications by papers in "stacks" in the first place?

 

What they COULD do, theoretically, is have one main center that processes incoming petitions. The receipt numbers would be entered (ordered by date received) into a master database that's shared across all service centers. All documents would be scanned electronically into a database and linked to each receipt number in the master database. Only valid petitions make it into the database. The people processing the incoming would immediately reject any petitions that had incorrect fees, etc. Nobody has a "stack" on their desk. Then, when any worker at any service center finished the petition they were working on, they would query this master database for the next petition in line. This way there never would be a situation where someone who got a receipt at the end of the month gets movement before someone at the start. There would still be situations where an RFE delays a person and causes someone who got a receipt at the end of the month to get APPROVED before someone at the start, but that's acceptable! haha. 

 

Very well thought out and I couldn't agree more with you. People keep saying that things can't be electronic because of hackers and #######. BS!!! This is the US government. They have so many blocks in place and even if some highly intelligent person could get through the walls, do ya honestly think they would go after the USCIS. Files still have to be reviewed by the Embassy, and they are well known to deny applications that the USCIS has approved. The excuses people give to the why's make my mind spin.

Yes it is 😊

What is your recieved date ? If i may ask, 

i am so concerned, many people with recieved dates later than mine have already heard back and i have not yet ... 

My receive date is February 9th. Seeing all the approvals (even RFE's) that were done to cases after that date is so discouraging. It should all be done on date received. That is how any processing job I ever worked at does things.

Yes we are ! My fiance lives in the state of Michoacan, city of Morelia, its a pretty known city due to its tourist activities , 

this process is tough ! Its been tough ! 

And yes! Lets stay in touch, we can help eachother out especially once the next step comes to schedule medical appts and the interview part... 

 

I have friends that go to the Morelia Film Festival every year. It's definitely a beautiful area.

100 days for me unfortuantly 😞

So we are on the same time line practically and dealing with Mexico. Let's stay in touch to help each other though the process here on out. Where is your fiance at? We live in Cancun.

Exactly! When I first came to VJ, USCIS was updating the online tracker ACCURATELY. Then, right when my number was up, the system broke and scans were no longer useful. Then I have called USCIS 3 times over the past month and got useless canned and sometimes outright rude responses. Then, I thought, well at least that person posted about the USPS informed delivery option, so I can see if I have been approved when I wake up, then that stopped working. Some people had luck calling the NVC if their case had already been sent over, not me, I called and was told to call USCIS. I am thinking about a 1-month drug induced coma. Maybe when I wake it will all be over.

OOOOH So YOU are to blame???? Just kidding I had a call with a Rebecca at USCIS on Tuesday that sent me into hysterics at work. She was so condescending and gave me the complete opposite information than the guy before her a couple weeks ago. Living in Mexico, my fiance and I don't have the option of a 2nd tier support to call us back. There are so many angles of this process that has us royally screwed and no one at USCIS give a damn. I'm not asking for a cheerleader, but I do expect thorough and accurate details given in a mature nature. I am a very patient person, but this process has tested that. Lucky for me, my fiance and I live a 10 minute walk from one another. So I do have that over most people. But wanting to leave with my fiance to go back to my home country and have a "normal" life void of all the Mexican stresses, doesn't make this any easier for me (us).

Well i hope to hear something soon on my case .... 

thanks for the information 

So do I... 107 days as of today.

Was 2/16 the date you got your NOA1 or is that your recieved date that shows on the app ? My recieved date was 2/15 and i didnt get my NOA1 until like the 20th ... 

All timing is based off the receive date. I never even received an NOA1 in the mail. But all time tables and such is based onthe day they received the case and issued the WAC number

My fiancée had her interview today and she was approved! They said it'll take 2 weeks for her Visa but I thought I read elsewhere it would be sooner. 

 

Anyways, thank you, Visa Journey!  I seriously couldn't have done ANY OF THIS  without you and your support, both individually and through the forums!  I will definitely write a huge review so that I may help others through this process the way you have all helped me!  God bless you one and all!

A giant congratulations. Can you tell me how the experience was in Juarez fro her? Where did she stay? Where what medical place did she use? Still waiting for NOA2, but like to hear others experiences to be prepared.

Thanks! I do know that, but the funny thing is the email only had pictures for two letters, even though I received a ton of mail today, including the NOA2.

Geez!!! Can we please have any method of notification that works?? No USCIS site, no app, USCIS customer service is the pits, and the USPS scanning system isn't accurate. Annoyed and frustrated beyond belief. 107 days and counting

I changed my address about 3 weeks ago, and I had to do so by AR-11, as I live internationally and they can't updated any address over the phone or online for the USC. With that format, I read I don't get any confirmation either. So how the hell am I supposed to know if it was done? The entire Immigration process is so stone age and not user friendly. So, I sympathize with you. 

Btw.. there is not direct number to CSC. you have to call the USCIS.

You have a good point. Any other modern company would have these options. For me, there's the added issue of my mailman that puts mail in the wrong mailboxes. Yes, it's a very delicate situation because of their archaic ways. 

Better than my situation. Snail mail is as good as non existent in Mexico. In 8 years, I have yet to receive and mail from my family. 3 weeks ago I changed my address (against my better judgement as it's not true) to my address in the US we will be living at. But even that, I don't know if it went through or not. So without an online outlet to check status updates, I am pretty much in outer space on my petition.

I do really appreciate your positive spin on it .  For me though it so frustrating that we have to basically turn back the clock on technology.  I mean the fact that we should be able to know our case is approved the same day it happens and not have to wait possibly a week for snail mail is so infuriating to me. I know it is petty of me, but it is 2017 come on USCIS!! 

AND snail mail is not 100% guaranteed. These notices should be sent by courier at the cost we all pay for this process. It's the least the US government could do.. or allow us to pay for it to be Fed Exed/DHL mailed.

So I found that my received date was February 9. 

 

And NOA1 is February 14. 

Same dates as me. Let's hope we have the exact same luck on the same day!!!!!!

I was very excited yesterday when I checked my case status online and discovered that the case logged right after mine received an RFE. I was hoping to get an approval yesterday...Still hopeful to receive one soon. My NOA1 was Feb 1.

This may be linked somewhere, and I just haven't read far enough, but how do you check that? Please pass the link  

I'd like to say that this was a VERY informative post. 

THANK YOU!!!!

Hi, my NOA1 was 104 days ago. Things have been improving. We think there is a problem with the computer system because several people in the January and February filers forum have been receiving their NOA2 in the mail and the app/USCIS site still shows a received status.  Just keep looking in the mail. Here is the link to the February group just in case you are interested in following. 

This makes me so nervous. I never received the NOA1 in the mail from February, and I already know I won't get any mail notifications of RFE's and NOA2, so its the USCIS website that I have to follow to proceed. UUUGH!!!! I changed my address to a US address 2 weeks ago, but I don't have, and won't get any notification that it was done. This is disheartening.

Yes just a photocopy of any supporting documents. Good luck!

thank you!!! And the same to you. you have the big Interview coming up. How exciting.

On 9/5/2017 at 7:33 AM, Chi&Clint said:

If you need co-sponsor, he or she needs to fill a separate i-134 form, and provide those support documents, along with his/her photo passport, photo of birth certificate/ green card/ naturalization...

It's only a copy of one of these things... right? I doubt my Dad will give me his passport to take to another Country for the interview.
