With uscis nothing is normal and you are 100 percent reliant upon their timing. There are 2 people on vj still waiting from June 2017. And others waiting from July, aug sept oct nov and December.

 

It’s been said many times not to make any plans because of possible delays. That being said you could receive noa2 Any day now but with uscis there are never any guarantees. 

@GP1977 Totakky agree with your statement. I’m trying to keep the faith that it’s any day now for any news, and God forbid my application takes longer like the previous months you mentioned😭😭😭 

any update with your RFE????

Ok so Day 191 here NOA 1/25/18 and I received 3 BLANK emails from USCIS today. I called USCIS and not once but twice I get in the middle of talking to both representatives and they had nooooo problems hearing me verify my information and then all of a sudden both times they say; “hello,hello, I can’t not hear you, I will disconnect please call back...!” Are you kidding me?????? Two representatives that’s insane like seriously?!!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬

I remember when I started this process I was sure I would have a chance at an expedite because i have written documents from my doctor and documentation to show financial loss directly related to my K1case. After being denied I applied again and was denied a 2nd time and with a heavy resolve, I gave in and said at the least I will have an answer by mid July (my timeline). I would hope and imagine I would be one of the early approvals like what happened to November. And  when that happened maybe at the very least I would be approved with my same fellow NOA1 members.

Not in my wildest dream did I imagine I would hit the 210 mark but here I am. From wanting an expedite  to Outside "normal times". 

 

I understand there are people waiting longer than me. I just needed to vent and rant and only everyone here truly understands this process because when i rant to my family the timelines and the dates go over their heads. I have a bad panic disorder so this process affects me in a rough way.

 

Congrats to all the approvals regardless

Yes we can all definitely empathize and understand the struggles of this entire process. Last night/today is one of these days for me as well that I am like omg in 17 months I have seen my fiancé for a total of 30 days...it is sooooo very overwhelming and definitely gets the best of us all at times. 

Im praying for all of us still waiting that we can be there for one another to “listen” and help lift each other up! We’ve got this @JayHouser our time is coming soon!!!!!!

I'm not a 100% sure if NVC will accommodate your request. Most applicants that I work with change there mind after the file reaches their Embassy. If that happens to you then follow my directions below.

 

If you wish to have your immigrant/fiancée visa file transferred from one Embassy to another U.S. Embassy/Consulate, please contact the appropriate U.S. Embassy/Consulate directly in the country where you wish to apply and follow their instructions for case transfer. Please click here for the full list of all U.S. Embassies and Consulates overseas.

 

Please let me know how this works out for you guys.

 

Thank you sooooo very much @Greenbaum I will keep you updated as the time nears!! I’m sure you’ll be hearing from me hahahaha

Your welcome. It's nice to hear "Thank you" when one has gone out of their way to help. Most don't take the time and appreciate that someone just saved them a ton of time with information they would never have found on their own. Again, thank you for saying thank you.

 

All the best and smooth sailing.

@Greenbaum well I know that I have definitely sung your praises and the appreciation for your knowledge, insight and help is AMAZING!!! 

I actually have a question for you, still waiting on NOA2, and my fiancé and I are seriously thinking to have our case transferred from Abu Dhabi UAE, to Islamabad Pakistan.... I believe we need to make this request for transfer once at NVC stage...I haven’t found like a transfer case forum, unless I’m blind and not seeing it😅😅😅😅😅

The approvals, where they at lol?

 

Definitely not a good way to start off the week. Thought there would be a lot of approvals today since there was none yesterday. 

@SilverMonk completely agree with you. Looks like many of us will be in the 200 day + club.

For those of you who have received an rfe you can ask for tier 2 and they can fax the rfe to you. I received notification on Saturday that I got an rfe and I expect the us snail mail to take a week to get to my location in the east coast from the west coast so I had them fax it to me. I just said something along the lines of I want to start working on my rfe as I know it has a hard deadline and can’t be extended.  I downloaded a free app called FaxBurner and it gives you a free number and faxes or right into that app.

Thank you for the information @GP1977 hope your RFE gets straightened out quickly!!!

Yes. I see that. I dont go off what their site shows. I go off what i am hearing from this forum. Sounds like they are heading to february very soon. I just wanted to let the other gal know that those dates were not accurate.

I know the dates aren't accurate. I am a January Filer and there are people from November that are still waiting to hear. Was simply stating that USCIS now shows 2018 people that's it......

Good luck to all of us on this journey!!!!!!!!!!

Just thought I would share as I find this interesting... Peculiar?

 

July 16th (around 545pm EST) I called to check on our petition, I was told it hasn't been touched yet....

July 17th (around 620am EST) I got the text saying there was a change to our account, which was our NOA2

July 20th got our NOA2 hard copy stating our NOA2 date was July 13th.... 

Wow!! Congratulations! Thank you for sharing! 

This is sooooo weird! But then again, it’s USCIS right?! Lol

I know, I tried very hard to get distracted with my two boys, but they are on vacations from school, so there is not much activity going on, I started selling all my stuff from my buisiness and I wish I could go to visit my parents in mexico city but have to save money, and I wish I wouldnt be so anxious but its impossible when two months ago the wait expected was less than now. Anyways lets pray and hope for soon noa2's for everyone. Im trying not to check on the website all the time. haha I will try harder not too. 

Hahaha I know right?! I am making myself slow down on checking the website too, because it all can be very discouraging! Even on here sometimes, I need to step back for a few days if I can 😜😜😜

12 minutes ago, JDY said:

Is there any approvals today?? I feel USCIS is not working at all! Like someone said probably they are super short on staff or this feels like the slowest month ever, I thought December was slow, but January is been crazy slow. 

I swear I feel the exact same way! I think I’m trying to concentrate on further plans but here lately I have been experiencing a lot of sleepless nights and not focusing on work just waiting and waiting 😅😅😅😅
