Hi,

Whilst awaiting my NOA2, I figured I would try and get the next stage planned and prepared to limit time waiting. My OH is the petitioner and therefore my financial sponser so he needs to give me:

1) The form to declare his wages ( to show he earns enough)

2) Tax returns of the last 3 years?

3) A letter from his employer

4) A letter from the bank?

He does not have any assests, only savings and what he earns which is over the poverty line.

I am just trying to make things a little clearer

Thanks in advance for any help

Congratulations, lots of patience is now needed

Keep as busy as possible and try and see each other at some point as I am sure this helps the waiting game

So after nearly 2.5 months of waiting, do you think it's safe to think we won't get an RFE? Do they even look at the files during this process or do you think they're just sitting there for months until someone discovers a missing signature, etc.? That would be awful...

I was thinking the same thing, it would be totally awful if we got 3- months into waiting and we then get an RFE - lets just pray we don't!

To be honest, alot of July filers havent been touched since initial filing so I think they ahvent even picked up the cases yet - still sat on in a box waiting to be looked at which means RFE's could start coming U just never know

Congrats on the filing....welcome to the waiting game of patience

I am sure the way your wrote the date is fine, keep an eye out for the NOA1 and the reciept number so u can sgin up online and check status

I agree!! Not long till your visitor arrives now

I know I am excited to see him, its been too long These last few months waiting to see each other and waiting for the NOA2 has been way too much. I am hoping him being here for 2 weeks will take the egde off of waiting for this damn thing. I kind of hope that he goes home to good news but I am not getting my hopes up. A few more weeks and then I will be really on edge!

I would just like to see some July filers getting through but it is nice to know that you are not the only one waiting and that no one other than a few random cases have been put through the system yet so we just have to wait and hope we are all in the same batch of paper work!

God I really hope they start July filers already.....seems to of come to a halt....June NOA2's seems to of come through and now here is to hoping they start on ours in July!!!!!

Vermont was on the roll back in July. Some even got approved in less then a month. Mine took 62 days. Looks like they are slowing down a bit, but don't worry everyone sooner or later get their turn. If they didn't misplace my petition after the approval for about 40 days my fiancee would be here already

By the way, I am also in New York

Good luck. Your day will come.

I know I am really hoping for late September - October - i really really hope this doesnt go into November. Such a hard waiting game, thinki may jump for joy when it does decided to show up!!

Where in NY are you based?

Wishful thinking I reckon!!

Hi

Yes, you need to create an account, you then log in and link your file number with your account and you can then see when it was 'last updated' i.e. touched

Luc

Edit: I have just noticed you are past the USCIS stage so therefore there is no further tracking service as such that I am aware of!

Both CSC & VSC seem to of come to a halt from June onwards.......

I was touched a few days after NOA1 ( when they cashed the money) and nothing since. Im not holding any hope for Sept - June filers still seem to be waiting so hope for October i guess

I really hope this does not go on for much longer

Day 54 of waiting and no touches or nothing.............

Sometimes it feels like being punished for trying to do things legally. So many of us locked in the waiting game because we are doing what's right. Hang in there.

I know your would think as we are trying to do things legally and it feels like we are the ones being punished. No wander some people think sod this, get married under the VWP and adjust status there. Even though they amy have heaps of problems when filing, at leats they get to stay with there loved ones!!

I hear that - everything is running at an emotional all time high! Everything makes you extra sensitive to stupid things that wouldnt ever bother u usually! I hate having to put my life on hold while waiting for some piece of paper to say our relationship is 'real'. Maybe some of the staff should try this waiting and see how well they fair!!

I cant understand why anyone would be jealous. We each have our unique situation. It doesnt make any sense to get jealous.

I am not talking spiteful jealousy, just that pang of being envious of couples that get to be together and have no waiting of being apart. I would never let jealousy be an issue, its just that 10 minutes of that over-whelming feeling of how lucky they are when you see such happy couples. Jealousy is a natural human feeling, whether your happy for someone or not, its not a feeling you cant make any sense of. It just happens.

Aren't the airport runs the worst ever!! That one journey where you are so excited to go pick up your loved one and then that horrible sinking heart feeling when you have to drop them off

Just keep thinking that this will all be worth it!

Lisa,

I just realized, your timeline says NOA1 8/17/10 but your signature says 7/17/10. Which is it?

Also I totally do this jealous thing all the time. The absolute worst of it though is when you've just left each other at the airport. Airports are really hard places for me now. They either represent the absolute gut wrenching heartbreak of saying goodbye or the amazing ecstatically happy feeling of seeing my fiance for the first time in however many days I had to wait between visits. It's really incredibly difficult not to cry when I've just said goodbye to Chris for who knows how long only to get on the train and be stuck sitting across from some disgustingly happy PDA couple. It makes me crazy.

It also makes me sad when my friends who are in regular relationships complain about how their partner did XYZ and it made them mad and blah blah blah when I'm sitting by myself in my house wishing DESPERATELY that my fiance was around just so I could get irritated at him for snoring or forgetting to put the toilet seat down or whatever! I'm hoping I'll be able to remember that feeling after we get married when I finally do have the chance to get irritated about stupid stuff like that. Its like they say you never appreciate what you have until its gone, but we've got it sort of backwards. We'll all really appreciate what we have (when we finally have it) because we know what its like to not have it!

Ooooh good spotting, my bad - its the 07/17/10 - not used to wrtiting the dates this way round lol!! Sorry - coming up to two months Hopeing for some news soon - i doubt it will be Sepetember!!

I sometimes feel jealous at those that get processed so quickly while the rest of us are sitting in limbo. I am about to have surgery soon and my fiance is not here with me. The best we can do is webcam one another daily. When he goes to his friends weddings he says he feels down seeing everyone paired off and we can't even as much as touch one another. Although, I am happy for those who have made it through the process, I sometimes get upset. I have thought about leaving VJ a few times because I get so emotional with the wait especially when the VSC is moving 20+ days faster than the CSC (which seems to be at a standstill).

We have the same timeline an if its any consulation, I am waiting from Vermont. Nothing seems to be moving!!

Just thought I would post to ask if anybody else gets the over- whelming sense of jealousy from other couples? My good friend has just announced she is pregnant and I am so happy for her but also i look at them both and they are so happy and im jealous that they get to be together and that i dont even get to see my OH on a regular basis.

Everytime I see a couple wandering together, or having dinner together, I just wasnt to shout at them do u know how lucky you are!! I also have that horrible jealousy feeling.

Today is also the day that I was due to move to NY on a year traineeship programme, i pulled out as the K1 was a longer term investment and the trainee programme I would of been subject too a home residency agreement. Looking at all my class mates leaving at the airport to go and be there and I am still stuck here.

What an emotional roller-coaster this stuff is!!

I really hope so.. I just want things to move so I have something to look forward to.. just staring into an abyss right now.. Rach and I have been together almost 3 years now and have had to deal with the long distance thing.. for some reason this is the hardest part.. so near yet so far!!

Totally get you, been 3 years for us too and now its just getting so close it seems more frustrating I just want a that tiny shred of light so I ahve some clue about when I can move! When I can start planning stuff!!

ok I give in.. im now getting down about all this.. what is the delay.. Everything appears to have come to a halt..

I know me too - sucks By the looks of it June approvals are starting to filter through so I think they are on June still

Oh, thank you!! Good luck to you too, for a fast NOA2!

Fast has already gone out the window, 8 weeks down and ####### news. Ohwell chin up

Lots of luck to you

Welcome to the rat race for approval

Another week starts, proberly another week of no change
