    Try to have a good weekend

    in K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Good luck to all and thank God this week is over, its been H-E-L-L :blink:

    Amen to that... This week was HELL at work and ofcourse as far as USCIS is concerned, especially due to those what-I-call-them "fake" touches... Seeing these touches get your hopes high up (no matter what I cant seem to prevent this) and then bam.. the day ends and still NO NOA2...

    Talking about touches.. this is interesting... After both of my petitions got touched for past 3 days in a row (Oct 30th, Oct 31st, and Nov 1st), NEITHER of my petitions got touched today (Nov 2nd)... so I assume no adjudicator worked on my app today... :crying::unsure: I guess this just goes futher to show us more of what kind of Black Hole this whole USCIS system is..

    JohnWendy, I know exactly what u have been going thru coz I am going thru the same.. I 'll be approaching six months myself pretty soon (in about 10 or so days) and I know its a terrible feeling having to wait this long.. esp when you see people who filed after you are already getting approved.. I am happy for them but I am entitled to some of that too.. Right?

    Anyways... I m signing off ... Its been rough and frustrating for past few days... Try to have a good weekend yall.. Let hope for some more NOA2 next week.

    TC and enjoy your weekend. Good Luck. :thumbs:

    I am keeping my fingers cross that we see some approvals coming through today :) It will be wonderful to "green out" a few more names on G&As list :)

    I compare my touches, which have been ONLY last 3 days (since 10/30) ... I am not holding my breath for NOA2.. call me pessimistic but that unfortunately that maybe the reality... I hope I am wrong on this one...

    Anyhow, here's to hoping for faster NOA2 for all.... :thumbs:

    I think this whole process makes people pessimistic, so you're not alone in that Pkwel. If doesn't take long to realise that USCIS can let you down at any moment, and I think accepting that scenario is the only way to stay sane and get through each day. It is too much heartache and emotion to remain optimistic in this process.

    Here is really hoping for an approval for you :thumbs:

    Thanks Cheryl for your kind and encouraging words. They do help us all who have been waiting.. Good Luck to u (and all who are already approved) for the rest of your VJ.. Hope you get to NVC faster...and get your Visa even faster than that.. lol :):thumbs:

    One more day this week. I hope tomorrow is your approval day fatih11, nerdette, gogo, pkewl, my honey and the rest of you guys. Good luck :thumbs:

    Urge: In regards with my call to USCIS, the CSR did NOT tell me anything that I(we) dint know.. It was the same 'ol story of my petition still being under six months and "officially" CSC is still processing April petitions.... blah blah... She basically just read what we read on our CRIS portfolio.. even tho I try to prod into it.. but she wont give in and dint let me talk to an Immigration officer.. because she "does not" have that option when she pulled up my I130 case.. K3 was never mentioned...

    In regards with your second post of.. Tomorrow being our day... I seriously hope so.. but unfortunately and I hate to be bearer of this bad news(at least in my own case) I see/know people who have had touches on their K1/K3/I-130 since about Oct 25 and they still haven't received any word about their NOA2 so when I compare my touches, which have been ONLY last 3 days (since 10/30) ... I am not holding my breath for NOA2.. call me pessimistic but that unfortunately that maybe the reality... I hope I am wrong on this one...

    Anyhow, here's to hoping for faster NOA2 for all.... :thumbs:

    My honey...nerdette... pkewl

    I've been touched all the days you have been too. This is getting to be ridiculous. I hadn't been touched for four months to the day and got really excited when the touches started. But now i'm just plain anxious... I agree that something's broken at the center.... what else could this be about. Atleast its reassuring to know that the many many touches are happening to more than a few of us...

    Have you recieved an RFE? Or maybe you are with the same Official as Nerdette and I. I think this official is memorizing our applications word for word. Just crazy!!

    Nope....no RFE....atleast not yet. arrgghhh!!!

    Same here.... No RFE... at least yet :unsure:

    Ok, so, I dont know what to make out of my recent touches:

    Touched 10/30 - Both I130/K3

    Touched 10/31- Both I130/K3

    Touched Again: 11/01 - Both I130/K3. AGAIN.. :wacko: Oh come. on..

    BTW, I did call today so maybe this one is due to my phone call but then again I dint even mention my K3 case#... come to think of it again.. Maybe both are getting touched, per say, if they are already paired up, which at this point they should be... but who knows and frankly at this point, I dont care about these damn touches anyways.. I 'd just like a NOA2... please.. Is it tooooo much to ask for after almost 6 months of waiting? :)

    Good Luck to all :thumbs:

    8:18AM Update : Due to a problem accessing our system, you would have to call back later...

    UNBELIEVEABLE!!! NO ACCOUNTABILITY by USCIS! I believe there system is totally broken!!! We are receiving updates that don't mean anything... :angry:

    Touches, Touches, and Touches... I am bruised... As days are going by(touches after touches and NO NOA2) and seeing how many VJer's K3 has gotten touched so many times(and no NOA2) in last couple of days... I am starting to believe more and more that my hunch was/is probably a reality: that touches are just that, touches...and I dont like to rely on them.. that or USCIS' computer systems are REALLY going crazy and generating all of these maybe unnecessary touches by itself on ppls petitions...

    Ok, so, I dont know what to make out of my recent touches:

    Touched 10/30 - Both I130/K3

    Touched 10/31- Both I130/K3

    Between my petition filing and now, I have made only a couple of phone call inquiries (First one was 10/19 and another was on 10/26) and only gave CSR my I-130 case # and hadn't even mention my K3 petition case#... Anyhow, I saw no I-130 touches within a day or two after that, well until 10/30. So, I am almost positive that these touches CANT possibly be due to my phone calls unless there is some LONNNGGG system delay in case status update due to phone calls... who knows what goes on in CSC/USCIS :unsure::wacko:

    Good Luck to all :thumbs:

    April K3 Filers

    in K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted · Edited by pkewl

    Looks like there are not too many or any approvals this weel......

    True, axp101. For last few weeks, I have been closely tracking the K3 NOA2 here on VJ and I can tell you that for CSC, we DO NOT have any NEW being reported as of, atleast, yesterday. So far we have had about 26 K3 NOA2 for this(Oct) month and sadly that number has been stagnant for past couple or so days. Although, many K3 filers have experienced touches/updates on their I130/K3 apps in the last couple of days, I dont think we have any VJers reporting new K3 NOA2 at this time. Lets hope we have a slew of them in the next few days. Good Luck.

    Urge: I dont exactly remember my estimated NOA2 date from G&A's latest chart but I believe it was between Nov 8th and Nov 15. :unsure: Anyhow, thanks for your wishes and heres to hoping for a quick one.

    Good Luck to all. :thumbs:

    thank you everyone

    you all make dealing with this entire process easier, on some levels

    as for my son's approval, well, it won't be happening any time soon, for sure...

    we haven't sent his I-130 yet :wacko:

    had a problem with his birth certificate, so i had to take care of it first

    feelicks will submit within the week, i hope

    we are ready to wait some more, what choice do we have

    congratulations Banfield, C and J, and Maria :dance:

    hey pkewl, it seems your approval's coming up soon

    i'm guessing second week of november, tops

    Thanks a lot, neenuh. Appreciate it. Power to your words. Lets see what USCIS has in store for me. According to G&A's last updated table, I may get my NOA2 around Nov 8th. So, you may be correct in saying 2nd week of Nov but I will just take it a day at a time, otherwise, disappointment results in too much of an heartache.

    Hope things work out really well with your son's approval too.

    Good Luck to all :thumbs:

    Regards.

    Got some bad news, guys

    Where does it say to wait 4 weeks to get to NVC? I really hope it's less.

    I hate to be a bearer of the bad news but from my latest tracking/readings here on VJ, most approved(NOA2) petitions are taking anywhere from 4 to 5 weeks(as of recent) and I think for some apps it has taken even more time/weeks to transfer to NVC. Hopefully, I am wrong on my deduction.

    I still haven't recieved my NOA2 yet but this long transfer delay to NVC(once NOA2 is recieved) is depressing and disheartening to me, as for many here, I am sure. For me(and I guess for most post April/May filers), this is yet another blow. I still remember back when I filed my wife's I130/K3 petitions in Mid-May, the USCIS to NVC transfer time was just 4 - 6 DAYS and NOT 4 - 6 WEEKS. Anyhow, at this point, I personally would be just happy to receive a NOA2.

    Sorry once again but unless something changes, this is the reality. I would rather have my mind psychologically ready for 4 - 6 weeks than NOT because otherwise when I get disappointed, it hurts too much, just like my increasing timeline to receiving NOA2. :(

    Good Luck to all. :thumbs:

    Anyone over 180 days?

    I don't know what USCIS is doing. I've made several calls these last two months and not once have my petitions been touched.

    Same here... I have made about two calls so far and haven't been touched even once on my online CRIS account, which gives me weird feelings too :unsure: but I m not too big on touches/updates so I am going to try hard NOT to think about it... Speaking of calling them, I got the same 'ol saga both the times.. USCIS CSR: "It hasn't been six months... call us after if you still haven't heard from us... " blah blah :angry:

    This wait is gettting ridiculous now, espeically when I think that there are people who have been waiting even longer than me...On, Nov 7th, I will be 5 months for my K3 and come Nov 15th I will be more than 6 months... Arrghh...

    But lets hope that this week brings out lots of K3 NOA2... gluck my honey, gogo, JG0407... and everyone else who have been waiting.. :thumbs:

    No Touches Until After Approval!

    Thank you gogo, MelissaHassan, My Honey, kalina, pkewl, supernova, Erika's Husband, Maria~n~Dane, YgandMat, and hheaven67.

    I hope gogo, MelissaHassan, My Honey, pkewl, YgandMat, and hheaven67 get their notices tomorrow. :thumbs:

    Ed,

    Thanks for your kind words and encouragement. It means a lot to all of us who have been waiting a long time. Since we have been almost stand still at CSC with K3 petitions for past few months, seeing your approval and others give us lots of hope.

    Lets churn out some more K3 NOA2s CSC... :thumbs:

    Regards.

    Congrats to all the recent approvals and good luck for the rest of the VJ :thumbs: I am really happy for them. :D

    Seeing recent K3 NOA2s from CSC is indeed encouraging news. Lets just hope that they keep it going this time compared to the CSC K3 NOA2 drought we experienced post-August (after most of the March filers were approved in the month of August). I dont want to sound too pessimistic(well this long process make u one anwyays :)) but the long time-waiting K3 filers(April/May) at CSC and I m sure other K3 VJers knows for sure and agrees with me on my "K3 NOA2 drought" sentence.

    Anyhow, recent CSC K3 NOA2s are really good news and lets just keep on praying/hoping for lots more... I dont remember the exact timelines but I think edp333, C and J, MY honey, Urge, gogo and maybe G&A.. you guys have to be getting pretty close now..U guys are probably next in line I believe...

    Good Luck to all and lets hope CSC puts out more K3 NOA2.. We still have a few more days left in this week... Hope the best for all. :thumbs:
