Hi everyone!
 
I’m here to share my experience so far and maybe get some advice.
I received my NOA1 on April 15th and I am still  waiting for my biometrics appointment. I called USCIS on May 15th and the L1 officer told me that no appointment has been scheduled for me and to wait until May 29th to call again. According to him, in case I didn’t get the letter, I would be able to schedule the appointment by the phone with an officer.
I waited until the 30th of May and called again. The L1 officer I spoke with said to call back next day because L2 officers were not taking calls.
On May 31st I called again. After explaining to L1 officer my situation, he promptly forwarded my call to L2. They were really busy, so they called me back about 4 hours later. 
The L2 officer explained that no appointment has been scheduled for me and they cannot set the first inicial appointment. They can only reschedule a preexisting appointment. The officer then proceed with a service request. Hopefully I will get a response within the next 20 days. We’re getting concerned about this delay.
Is anyone going through a similar situation? Has anyone been through this situation?
 

Had my interview today, visa approved! They said I should get it next week 

We finally got our approval!
 
I hope everyone else still waiting will hear something soon. The website still hasn't updated for us - the envelope just showed up in the mail.
 
Now to plan for the next stage!

My fiancé and I finally received our NOA2 on 11/21 after 252 days (42 since the RFE reply was received) and we were together in Colombia when it happened. 😁 It was updated on the new site, not the old one or the case tracker app. Hoping and praying for the best for everyone still left waiting! 

My fiancé arrives next Monday!!! 
I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
 

I'm finishing my Architecture Bachelor's degree program and I've been trying so hard to focus on my final project... but I must confess that I spend too much of my free time on visajourney lol 
I should definitely go out and learn how to ride a bike

211 days! I went to sleep last night trying to remind myself not to lose hope, and woke up to THE email! I signed up for text notifications but I only received an email stating there was action taken on my case, followed the sign in link to the new site where it said approved. Old site not updated. 
 
Good luck everyone. 

So I received an e-mail notification that our RFE paperwork was received yesterday, 10/3/18! So that didn't take too long to get there. Now hopefully this goes quickly to hear back from them and get an approval  

Noa1 March 26 
Noa2 September 27
 
cant believe it, it’s so real now :)) 
hope you guys get your noa2 soon. 

Well. Should know what the RFE is by end of day based on USPS informed delivery. Of course it arrived the day after I left to visit my fiancé. But I arranged to have a friend check the mail and send me pictures of it in the case it arrived while I was gone. I’m nervous! 
 
On the flip side, having a great time with my fiancé so enjoying that. Hitting the beach today! 

We received APPROVAL NOA2 yesterday morning.  Everyone is really excited to be passed this stage and what a relief.  Received text message and email around 11:15 Am.  Checked the Case Tracker app and it said Approved.  Old site also says approved and New Site still says received.  
 
I just want to say that this process is difficult and challenging for everyone in our shoes.  However these forums have helped alot to understand why you are waiting and how everyone else is literally in the same boat as you are.  Listen to what @BJ & Christine has said many times, "Stay Busy",  this very simple concept will help the time move faster.  Also use the tools that @Greenbaum  has mentioned tirelessly throughout these forums.  This guy knows what he is talking about and using his techniques i was able to almost pinpoint when we would get approval.  My personal estimation was off by 2 days.  Stay strong, Stay Confident and Stay Busy.  Good Luck to Everyone still waiting and everyone who has advanced to the next stage.  We all started this journey for a reason let that be your strength as go through the challenges and obstacles of this process.
