Preparing for my interview on Wednesday and just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

My dad is the co-sponsor and is a US Citizen from birth. Do I need to include a certified copy of his Birth Certificate with the affidavit?

A copy of the first page of his passport is already included.

Thanks!

I'm not a december filer. I'm just dropping by to wish that you will have your NOA2 the soonest... It really pains me to see people who applied before me still waiting for NOA2. .. If only we can make better sense of this system.

I'm keeping you and all those who are still waiting in my thoughts and my prayers. (F)

Hope the coming Easter will bring good news to many people still waiting.

Thank you! and Congratulations!

It looks like we're one of the last 6 or so December Filers to Vermont Service Center on VisaJourney....

I'd love to be in touch with anyone else waiting.

I was told that our case got assigned to an officer last Wednesday but have had no touches or emails yet...does anyone know how long it usually takes once it's with an officer?

(please god, not the whole 60 days!)

Happy St. Patrick Day! Anyone else got approved?

Good luck and best wishes to all~

I'm still waiting and have not recieved any news from uscis. O well, wait wait wait.

I was able to speak to someone today who told me that my case was assigned to an officer last Wednesday and we should have a decision within 60 days, but she expected it to come much sooner!

I feel a bit better knowing that it's with an officer at least.... but this didn't generate a touch.

Back to the waiting...

We received our NOA1 from VSC dated December 13th, 2007...

Touch on 2/17/08 and nothing since

It looks like there are only 9 or so of us December VSC filers still waiting for approvals.

I'm so worried that I'll be forgotten!!!!

Please keep posting with updates on touches or approvals...it's great to have the company!

Laura and other December Filers eagerly awaiting NOA2....

I'm right here with you - I can't stop checking the USCIS site!

Most of us were touched on the17th right? Everyday I wake up hoping that day is THE day!

I'm hoping this week is the week Nick and I get our approval!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Same for us! Our NOA1 date is just a few days from yours so I am always excited to see you post.

We're keeping our fingers crossed!

I was touched on the 17th too!

And I can finally check my status on the USCIS website! I know it doesn't tell us much, but after a million phonecalls trying to get them to fix the glitch that was not allowing my number in the system, it is just so nice to be able to see it there on the screen

Hopefully we'll all hear more soon!

Hi everyone-

I have never been able to check my case status online since its receipt date at VSC - December 13th. I've called the customer service line countless times to tell them about the problem. The initial person can't see the number in thier system and always sends me to an"officer" (a customer service officer?) who is able to see the case on thier computer system.

Finally, one pleasant agent sent an email to let VSC know of the problem. She gave me a confirmation # and said that I could call back after 30 days and if it hasn't been resolved I could get expidited to a supervisor.

Well the 30 days have come and gone and I've been trying to get someone to fix this!

As you all can understand getting through the a person is difficult and having them not be at all understanding or helpful when you finally get to them makes it hard to keep calm and polite. I lost it today! The agent said "you've already called on this...what do you want me to do about it?" I was a little snappy and told him I wanted to speak to his supervisor and he huffed and puffed and then put me to a voicemail!?!?!

So my question - can they hold these calls be held against me in any way?

As it was explained to me by that one pleasant agent, it is only a computer glitch on the website - my case is there and is "in process"...I just want to be able to see it like everyone else!

Will my inquiries slow down the process?

Thanks so much! That is exactly what I was looking for. It seems we're number 112...not too bad right?

I see people mention that they are a certain # on the list for VSC or CSC. Can someone tell me where I can look that up?

Thanks!

Thanks, but I have already done that. The receipt number fails. USCIS customer service has verified that it is correct, but it will not show up in the online system. They end up sending me to an agent who is able to view the number and tells me that they are backed up in entering them into the system.

I mentioned this website and that users such as yourself (a day off from me) are able to use the system. They sent an email to Vermont to let them know about the problem, but nothing has been done (either time I went through this process with Customer Service)

I have been calling USCIS since I got my NOA1 dated Dec. 13th. I have not been able to check my case status online.

I have seen filers here that have received thier NOA1 later than mine and were able to check immediately. With all of the horror stories of files being lost and forgot about for months - I am very worried.

Customer Service has sent emails to Vermont for me, but nothing has changed.

I emailed my lawyer and asked that she try to do something about it and really verify that it hasn't been lost!

Any other recent experiences with this or advice?

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I see from this site that for the Vermont Service Center, K-1 NOA2s seem to take around 4-6 months.

Does the USCIS website always say that they are processing apps from 6 months before the date?

My Immigration Lawyer told me something along the lines of "don't worry - they always say 6 months"

Has anyone seen differently?

Also - how long does it usually take to get your receipt number working in the online system? It's been over a month since I got the NOA1 and still can't get on.

Thanks for your input!

I am engaged to a Candadian, who lives in Vancouver. My initial petition was received in Vermont on December 13th.

We have a whole wedding planned for the end of August and I am very nervous that this date will not be possible now.

Is there anything we can do to expidite the 6 month wait on the US side?!?! Not sure if it matters, but I have contracts, etc. to prove the plans.

If not, once the approval gets to the Consulate in Vancvouer, I understand that there is a cheklist of things for my fiance to obtain (medical, police records, etc) Can he do any of this in advance so that it is all ready to go and we can save a week or two and get an interview date ASAP?

Thanks for your help!!!!
