Hey ho, is there some people here from september waiting for NO2. Am I the only one ???

You are not alone! September 17 NOA1 here, and I'll be here until everyone in this thread gets approved!

Approved. I received the email at 9:06 pm edt. My NOA1 date was Sept 30th. TSC received by RFE documents on May 6th (Initial RFE notification on April 24th). NOA2 on May 20th. Oddly ... no text update.

Congrats :)

Nothing for us. I might be wrong but it seems like they are approving people who had an RFE, as far as I know, we haven't been processed at all. Case still marked as "received" since September 16th.

I'm gonna randomly throw that here, would anybody on this thread be interested if I'd do a Facebook group (closed) where we could share a bit of our lives about the post-TSC? I've got to known a couple of you personally and it would be awesome to see your weddings/littles ones. I'm suggesting a group because it's allow us to show limited things, for those who wishes to keep their personal Facebook.. Well.. Personal! :)

I did my waiting! 9 months of it.. IN TSC!

Hey mewbear-

Well personally I loathe Facebook and everything it stands for; as a computer professional I consider it a waste of bandwidth. However, I did create an account some years ago, but only at the persistent insistence of my mother, who is a FB/texting Queen. That being the case, I'd actually use my Facebook more for such a group as this, meaning that I might actually log in more than once every few months. :rofl: So if you put a group together, count me in.

ps-sorry to hear that y'all haven't received your approval yet, continuing to pray!

Day 252. And no end in sight... My Fiance has given up on even checking the website! He's been here for 2.5 months already and now I am honestly beginning to think the NOA2 won't arrive before he leaves in the first week of June. It's so hard to have people - family, friends, coworkers - ask "what's up with the visa?" and to have to explain that we just got the short stick in this situation and there is little we can do about it. Called an put in an inquiry, and contacted the our congressman who hasn't given any response back.

We were really hoping to get married this August on our 6th year anniversary. We are really tired of doing long distance for the past 5 years, which I'm sure all of you can relate to. Even that is a comfort, and so thank you all for posting (the good and the bad) because it's nice to know there is an entire community of people who understand this very particular situation and point in all our lives. I hope everyone gets to be with their loved ones soon.

Soooo I called USCIS for the first time (Rich was the one to do it so far), and got told by the customer service that they couldn't tell me anything, or get me through a Tier 2 officer because I was the beneficiary.. has that happened to any of you?
