I saw the samething. I feel uneasy. I want my approval notice like everyone else for security

I jumped on the website this morning and saw this. It doesn't say approval and doesn't look like the same notices that I see other people post. And I've gotten no email or text message. So is this a Noa2 or not?

Copy the bio part that has your information. I think it had your picture too. I'm not looking at a passport now. And also copy the pages that show you traveling to the beneficiary's country

Retired. Assets. Longterm stocks. I myself bought stocks in 2022 that I haven't touched at all in 2023. They wouldn't be relected in a 2023 tax return

Side note: Passport doubles as evidence of travel when you show them pages of visiting the country.

It's accurate for the lucky 80%. Sounds like you are in the 20%. I'm in the 20% pile for November and still no NOA2. But it looks like they going back to November now, so maybe December will get looked at again in a couple of weeks.

In the I-134 declaration of support instructions, it tells you what evidence to submit. It uses the words "as appropriate", meaning you only use evidence that support your financial claims. If your sponsor is wealthy enough without income, theoretically they don't need to show a tax return. But they will have to show cash / assets of 3 or 5 times higher from what I've read on the internet (I don't remember seeing a government document point to this).

I was under them impression that cash and assets can be used in lieu of a tax return. I'm sure say a millionaire who hasn't worked in years wouldn't need to show tax return Income isn't a requirement. Only proof to support it. Income is just a form of proof to support

I would so if I barely managed to pass the income requirements. Don't know how much it would help.

I'm not sure, but I thought the beneficiary keeps their paperwork until they arrive to the U.S. and immigration takes it. So the visa is never used until they reach immigration

It was a lot of action yesterday at USCIS for November cases for people still waiting for their NOA2. Hopefully it's be like this for the rest of the week

If they got a ton of stocks and cash.

I'm sorry, but your bubble gum, pop replies are infuriating. You are just repeating B.S. that USCIS says. I don't care what their 80% processing time is. That is 100% irrelevant to the last 20%, especially when how the speed of processing scales from fast to slow as cases decreases for a month (like from 90 a day to 10 in some cases). It's useless information to us. And it's not even the real estimate. They are doing 80% in less tha 12 months now. They are almost done with 80% of March 2023. 🙄

Kinda condescending hearing that from someone who got their case approved in a year. There is nothing normal about what is going in. And the May date you showed is for average Joe asking USCIS. The date I was given was for my congressman office to get involved. They can inquire any day they please.

I wrote my congressman with detailed information about what is going on with people not getting their cases seen at USCIS. The response from one of their workers: "Thank you for contacting our office in regards to your immigration concerns. The documents you provided do not come from a .gov website and I would not hold any high hopes when interpreting information from those sources. To that end, all of the information you will receive from our office will either be from a .gov website or from the agency themselves. Your case was received on November 7th, 2022. As of right now USCIS is processing I-129F’s, like yours, at the California Service Center within an estimated processing time of 15 months (February 7th, 2024). I have included USCIS’s expedite criteria below, if you feel as if you case meets one of the criteria below please attach documentation/evidence to a reply to this email in order to justify the criteria. What I would ultimately suggest doing is to contact our office around that February date and we can more suitable contact USCIS with a stronger argument to finish adjudicating the case. I will wait for your reply before closing anything on our end. Please advise. If you have any questions please let me know." 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 So "we may not believe you, but call us back next month if you still have the same issue"

I'm stupid. I meant to say Noa2. Can't edit post. But there's still over 500 of us that USCIS is ignoring

Would have to be an evil person to penalize a stroke victim

how many of us here still waiting on Noa1?

Oh snap! I didn't know this was a thing. What about Khat? Do anyone know if they will deny someone that chew Khat?

I don't have that app. I just saw some stranger on the internet post that picture.

I think I'm going to get an RFE. I did my own packet before I found this site. I learned a lot of stuff on here that I didn't see in other parts of the internet. I didn't copy all pages of my passport. I see that I should have from reading here (but I don't remember seeing anything about that in the instructions the government supplied). I also only did a computer print out of my fiancee passport photo. I saw other people got RFE'd and were asked to supply a glossy photo. Finally, I'm unsure about my birth certificate, I might get an RFE for not copying the back, even though nothing is really on the back. If I do get one, hopefully it will not extend my application for than a month.
