Glad to see they are working on Nov cases but are bouncing around with the dates 

 

Congrats.. I'm still waiting 

I know ... it was hard to continuously see dates way past ours getting approved, too, with no reason as to why. So I can't even imagine dates even earlier than ours. I hope yours is on the way very soon! 

We FINALLY got our approval letter!!! We were PD 11/21 and we apparently were approved on 10/5. There was no email or update on the website. I'm really still in disbelief. I hope this means good news coming asap for those of us who were waiting for so long! 

Still waiting and we are PD 11/21

I changed my address in the states and when I went to check on the app, it was like everything was erased including when I checked it online. I called, no help whatsoever. Moving on to the ombudsman because this is ridiculous. It'll be 30 days since my last inquiry next week. So that will put us 60 days behind processing 

 wow I realllllly hope that doesn't happen. I'm sorry it did to you. I'm at a loss for words.

Ok I just have to vent and maybe this information will help some of you...

i just got my scheduled call back from a tier 2 ... I was calling yesterday to find out why I never received an update on my service request I was supposed to hear back on by September 11.

Anyway the lady kindly informed me that the reason I haven't heard anything and that my case is still processing (nov 21) was because I had my foreign address listed instead of my American one. Of course no one bothered to let me know this months ago and she made it sound like I would have already been approved if I had made this change. I never assumed this could have even been a problem as I received my initial noa1 at my Japanese address without issue. She informed me that I should have an approval within 15 days though I'll take that with a grain of salt. So if any of you have a foreign address listed I suggest calling to ask if that could be the hold up. 

I'm so beyond fed up and frustrated with this entire process.

Is anyone still waiting for NOA 2?

 

I sent my I-130 from Japan to the Chicago Lockbox on 11/25. I got my NOA 1 on 12/31. 

 

So far I have heard nothing since then and I've checked my case status several times. 

 

Is anyone else still stuck in limbo at the I-130 stage?

We are stuck too. Our NOA 1 date is 11/21 and we are actually in Japan as well. 

Just wanted to offer my update. I called and spoke with a tier 2 yesterday. He said ours was stuck in the background check but at least it has been started. No idea when it was started or how long it could take. PD is Nov. 21st and this is becoming unbearable. 

Does anyone know where the National Customer Service Center is located? I've been trying to call from abroad and the only information I can find is that live assistance is available everywhere in the continental US from 8 am to 6 pm. The automated response keeps telling me to call back between those hours but I already am and it is still saying this.

Not sure about calling but you can email and request an expedite after you receive approval from uscis. You need your NVC case number first and it's best to do it as soon as you have it because if approved you don't have to pay any fees until the time of interview. You would send your request to NVCExpedite@state.gov

 

They generally respond within five days with an answer. Be sure to upload any proof of your request for the expedite and send it with your email.

Thank you! 

I know I saw some of you posting a while back about expediting once we get approved with Nebraska but Im having trouble finding the posts. Can someone tell me the page number they're on or explain to me how to do this? I thought I saw someone mention that you have to call the embassy/consulate and they can bypass NVC???

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records show that your case is currently pending adjudication. However, we have had to perform additional reviews on your case, and this has caused a longer processing time.

We hope this information is helpful and appreciate your continued patience.

 

 

 

Pd 11/25.   And got this response from inquiry.  Some cases seem to be getting more review than others 

Can you tell me how to file an inquiry on the USCIS website? I keep looking for where to do that and can't find it.

The iPhone app version of this doesn't seem to have a settings option that lets me get real time updates.
