Steph, im sorry i must have missed your post, what is the issue or question?


Sorry, thanks. I was asked about some "trick" people were referring to when they call the center. I think the "RFE trick" or something. I was wondering what that meant so I could try it.

I agree!!!!!!!!! good.gif


Of course, like everyone else, I am extremely frustrated by this process. I, like everyone else here, look to this forum for comfort. I am beginning to even become frustrated with this. It seems no matter what I ask or say I never geta response. I am beginning to feel abandoned.... crying.gif


I'm sorry that you feel that way. I'm relatively new here. I'm not able to keep up with all the posts.


Maybe I am just having a bad day. The wait is getting to me.


I have those days too. I usually try to make contact with my fiance on those days. Hearing his voice helps me re:focus. Maybe give a call or right a sappy email. That's always fun. Sometimes I'll even go shopping and make one of those "I love you" care packages with Hershey's kisses and Blue Mountain cards and mail it out. Having a "project" to focus on that involves him somehow makes me feel better. I hope you find a way to lift your spirits.


Thanks for your kind words. A care package is a FABULOUS idea. I will definitely do that. I also called him so I feel a bit better. Thank you so much!!!

I definately will....and definately try it...the person who answered my call acually asked for my full name and case number before i got a word in...that might be a sign of someone who is just saying the same old answer or someone actually looking into your file!


What is the RFE trick? I want to try it!

Great, I appreciate all of the feedback. I think each night i'll try and compile a list of suggestions. Not sure how we can agree on what needs to be changed though.

I'll give it one week for everyone to see and then start a new thread to finalize the letter and our media campaign.

So far,
1.) Take out the VSC part and make it apply to all service centers.
2.) Take out the statement about 90 days, since USCIS is quoting 6-months to process apps.
3.) Clearly state our expectations: we want INFORMATION in general; not about individual cases, we want the Service Center to provide us with accurate updates and information.
4.) Make the letter a form of a petition with many signatures.

ANY DISAGREEMENT WITH THE ABOVE?

News Contacts:

1.) Boston area, Hank Phillipi Ryan

Keep the suggestions coming AND the news contacts you want to include.
Getting your Senator and Rep addresses should be fairly easy.
Will someone work on a list of high ranking officials at DHS/USCIS?

I agree with all of the above except for point 4. I think the way to get the attention necessary is the amount of the mail/email that will come in. They can easily ignore/throw away 1 letter. However, when they start recieving a barrage of letters, that is what makes their ears perk up and listen. They need to be a bit inconvenienced by it.

That is assuming our Senators would even do anything about it. They are filled with Lip Service.

Well....I think we need to all do something. Its not just about the individual petition. Its about standing up to say we are humans, with emotions..and to me this is a bit more weighted then what my individual petition status is. Plus once we get our foot in the door and VCS Director starts getting emails, phone calls from Senators offices alll over the usa....they know we are watching, waiting and ready to take the next step...they know we stood up for our simple right to knowledge. Also, I DO understand that the individual petition is processed in its own time. If everyone wants nothing but their individual petition to go through faster then we won't gain the attention of politicians. Its MUCH more reasonable to want information...lets face it...for all we they may have a legitimate reason for the lagging. It wasnt THAT long ago they were processing in less than a month...so SOMETHING happened to stop this fast work...and we, the petitioners, who paid for a service.....have a right to know why the change... Its our right. I think we can get more on board by making others understand as an individual petition we aren't noticed....as a large group of voters demanding their RIGHTS to information on the PROCESS we will get noticed. Just my opinion. Law of large numbers. We'd never get action if they thought we ALL wanted individual petitions rushed. They just need to know we are here and not afraid to demand our rights. Any ideas on how to start and collect the information we need? Im thinking...a listing of state senators, with phone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses. A form letter for everyone to send with a space to say how the lack of knowledge and information is affecting them on a personal level. I say we CC: the white house to. Another date, another campaign.

I got the number of applicatants on file by clicking on immigration timelines...Then K1. I selected last 6 months option and it tells number of files on VJ...or did I read it wrong??? Or is that number wrong? And if it is...how does THAT affect the numbers???


Ok...I guess we need a committee to make letters, help gather information and make a plan on how to recruit petitioners to send this and call. Also, its not just VSC...we can include ALL centers....this isn't just VSC issues....no one can get ANY information for many reasons. Plus the more....the merrier. Anyone interested in helping....message me and lets get rolling. I will look for volunteers to help organize this till next wednesday...then we can make a meeting in chat to discuss the details...look for more details to come..I will start a new thread for this tomorrow. Keep an eye out for it...

I know-it is extremely difficult. I just keep looking forward to the next time I get to see my fiance. I leave this Friday night to spend a week with him in Spain. That should hold me over for a few weeks. I am still holding on to the hope that I will get my NOA1 the end of the month.

No approvals yesterday....wow.

I thought that with Labor day over VSC would be back in full force but I guess I thought wrong mad.gif

All this waiting is starting to get to me...when is it going to end cray5ol.gif ranting33va.gif protest6wz.gif mad.gif



I don't understand how someone that got their NOA1 in May still does not have their NOA2. RIDICULOUS!

I won't even call because I think the stupidy of that organization will push me over the edge. I don't want to piss anyone off until I get my NOA2. whistling.gif That being said, this organization is a joke! it is run horribly like most government organizations. My only advice it to take whatever they say with a grain of salt. They are idiots.

Sorry to ask this but how does the RFE trick works, i mean if i say that i have a question concerning the RFE i received (know that i dindt get anything like that) and they ask what typ of question, what do i answer?


It looks like your case was already approved, so there is no need for you to use the RFE trick. If you are calling because you didn't receive the hard copy of your NOA2, which you will need for AOS, then simply tell them that.

If your case was sent to NVC, has you fiance received packet 3 from the embassy? Have you tried calling the DOS to see where your case is?



I called because i didnt recieve the hard copy of the approval and they told me that they dont have any records about my case and at another time i called, they said that they need the new case# to able to check on my case.

no i havent receive pack 3 yet. What is DOS?

DOS = Dept. of State. DOS phone number 202 663 1225 ( press 1, 0, 4, 3, 0 ). However, if you don't have your embassy case # they may not be able to assist you. It sounds like you have a situation just like the poster udlike2no2.

I've been looking for ways to to keep myself occupied while waiting for my petition to be processed, so I compiled this list of I-129F VSC filers with NOA1s waiting for NOA2s. The data is from the VJ.com timelines, and specifically from the reports available on the timelines. The number I have listed to the left of names is simply the sort order based on NOA1 date.

Obviously, we have no idea what order VSC will process NOA2s (once they start processing them for us again) but its something to help pass the time.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......well 190 days has come and gone since VSC recieved our petition........I am just plian worn out now.......I had hoped for Christmas together then New Years.....well how about MLK birthday or Valentine's Day.....This is so retarded.....How can this be the land of the free....I feel far from free at this point....I am a hostage of ineptness.....of disregard for my rights.....of just lack of compassion for what this is doing to our lives....Mine, Oscar's and every single other person who has to endure this agony.......So tomorrow I start again with the fight....the phone calls...the emails.....but I am so close to just loosing my mind now........I wish I could travel to Peru....(medical reasons) or Oscar could come here to visit us...but of course he was denied a tourist visa......protecting American against the "vile" person who I love.......THIS IS A BUNCH OF B*LLSH*T........



U know i was reading a post, on a related thread i think, where someone was describing the process for Canadians. It seemed like when ur ready u just bring them to Canada, no worries!!! Weird it seems so sensible.
Sure there would be a lot of phony engagements, but when they are turning a blind eye to millions crossing the border anyway it's BS to give our fiance(e)'s the third degree. maybe cap it at two or three, but it doesn't need to be so arduous. And the expense is ridiculous. Aos is like $1000 not including EAD and fingerprints, more medical, etc. and ur separated so long u need to visit so airfare's a killer.
BTW since u can't get help til 30 days after the six months, isn't it really a 7 month commitment. Of course when u call they'll say 'ok now wait 60 days will get back to you.'
So I'm not fighting it anymore, it's like when the doctor snaps on that rubber glove - just tell me when your done vsc ohmy.gif



I am with you.....I would rather have a colonoscopy while awake then to ever do this again........I have yet to figure out why our government has the right to deny me my happiness......I have parents.....I do not need the government to perform that function.......I have the ACLU looking into this for me.....Even after I get this all done...I think I want to stick it to them just because I feel like it.......but in the mean time I am like you....they have us hostage......by the way I got lost in Catonville Maryland once......I was trying to get to BWI...hahahahaha...on my way to Peru....one of my 6 trips there........You are right this is not a cheap endeavor....Anyway...since it looks like everyone has abandoned us I guess it is just the First 2 weeks of June people left on this thread now......I keep getting yaked at on the other thread about being negative.....Oh well bite me.....I know ours will be worked someday but in the mean time this sucks....Hang in there Virgil.........Lora



My RFE evidence was recieved by VSC today signed by the receptionist. kinda concerning, but at least they have it. Now I am back to waiting.................................. helpsmilie.gif

Hey Y'all. I finally got a touch today. Its been 173 days for me. I really hope that means that the VsC is serious about cleaning up the backlog from May/June. Time to update the timeline. I really hope that the rest of you who are waiting without a touch are in the same crate as myself. Am I correct that the approvals have been going from later June to earlier in June over the past week or so? If that is the case, then perhaps the reviewer is progressing through a crate in reverse order of receipt?





I was thinking that myself so Virgil and I are at the bottom together......See I told you Virgil.........the only touching that has happened on our petition has been between them....hahahahahaha....this has been a tough day for me and my humor has gotten worse as the day has gone on........I had to leave the other thread for a while....too much cheering and happiness.......so I come here to pout......sorry guys



Feel free to pout Lora..this is the perfect spot for it.....

Abyss....im sure that your touch is going to be good news....

Thanks for the good wishes. They came through. The approval notice was in the email this morning.

While I am very much relieved, I am still hopping mad at the wait, the red tape and all the other trouble that we have been going through. I will still be working my Federal representatives for change and a hearing.

Hang in there Lora, Virgil and all other waiting. I know that it is dark right now but there is hope. It just suc%s that VsC continues to process out of order.

I am off to work where I cannot write to the forums but I will be watching and hoping for you.


Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

Seems like it varies. Some people's get processed right away like Byron's and some people's take forever like Melinda, and Mel & Syl.



Ugh, I am so scared. crying.gif crying.gif



Dont be scared Steph...this means that once they get your information they can proceed with your approval..thats nothing to fear. God never gives us more than we can handle. If you believe in prayer...PRAY. You are strong...I can feel it in your posts.

It says in 1 John 4:18, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”

Isaiah 41:10, “Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

In Psalm 56:11 the psalmist writes, “In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.”


I hope these can help..read them when u feel afraid....We are here for you


Thank you. I guess it wasn't a complete shock. Not sure if you remember that I has a feeling the stupid divorce decree may be a problem. Thing was, when we applied, we didn't have it. The original will be here the end of the week and I have asked Darren to request more originals. I am just assuming this is the reason for the RFE, but I am not sure. I will feel better when I know.

Thanks again. I have come to look for your postings an support. You have a gift.

I think its hysterical that they advertise Ambien on this website. They do know their audience....

This morning I overslept, and one of the first things I thought was...

USCIS just doesn't understand my need for a reliable alarm person to shove me out of bed.

Maybe tomorrow. Or whenever.



I know this is hard for everyone that has had to wait soo much. RIC I cant believe yours has gone so late as well as Loras, and some others....My thoughts are with u


Thanks. It's okay. I'm .. i'm not going to say I'm content to wait, but I'm okay with it. (which totally doesn't mean that I'm not checking my status every few hours!) I'm pretty sure the only way the system is going to help me is if I just wait for it to get to me. My congressman was no help whatsoever and promised no additional help until January. I could ask Hilary to sic a minion on them, but I'm fairly sure that'd get me the same result. 'It's with an officer. you'll hear in a few weeks at least'

So I will wait. Just like waiting from visit to visit. One day at a time on the bad days, one week a time when things are going well. And Pete's gathered his documents that prove he's going to go home, and he'll be here in two weeks. We will get approved, one day or another.

If it goes a week or two out of six months then I'll reconsider my stance on waiting, but .. Byron was approved at like 181 days. Maybe I will be too.

I really thought it was bizarre that that's what I thought when I thought it though. Not, oh ####### what happened to my alarm, or oh no! where's the phone to call in and let them know I'd be there as soon as I could-- no. USCIS doesn't know I need my alarm Pete. My brain boggles sometimes. blink.gif

I'm glad you FINALLY got yours- especially since you have so much time on the other side of the approval. (and hey at least we don't have the NVC wait times like CSC. Small favors right?!)




I got an RFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe this ######!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How long does this delay things?????????????

Hi Jamie. I am not sure I understand - what is the 90 day period you are referring to? What is its significance?

I am seriously considering cancelling as well. Might be time for me to move to England.

Thanks.


Jamie, I just saw your other posting. I am sorry that things are not working out. This is tragic. No need to answer my questions.

Charlene,
Stay on top of that.....Dont let off that pressure...If that congressman hasn't called, contact your other state officials, the other congressman or your local state representative. You have waited WAY to long. You need someone to locate that file and MAKE SURE it gets worked...dont you stop till one of those officials makes that call and help. Remind them of their duties to the public as OUR representatives. Write more letters, every day if you ahve to and call every day if you have to to get attention. Dont give in to their ways...

We felt we were losing it at the end to...BUT that just means its soooooooooo close. It WILL come....what is hard is not knowing when to expect it. If your files are with an adjudicator its any day..the day you least expect it it will happen...

Once Amr asked me why women have more than one baby, if the first one hurts sooooooooo much to have. I said that after the birth, the new mother can only focus on her new little one...and the love she has makes her forget all the pain she endured to bring that baby into this world. He still didnt understand.

This morning he said, Faith, this is so odd, so weird. He said...Im so happy that I dont remember the wait. I said THATS CHILDBIRTH!!! LOL. BUT...its deep what he said....we work so hard, sweat it out till we get that approval, agonize over it, cry over it, worry over it. Then when that blessed event of an approval happens...we soon forget the pain of the wait...an d focus on our love and the future. Just like that new mother. So keep in mind, this is like labor...delivery is about to happen...and soon...all will be forgotten....Keep your eyes ahead, not on your feet.



You just made me cry. Thank you so much for your support. I am trying....

Hang in there...you are almost there....has to be anytime now...they are getting to close to the 180 day mark for you...call your congressman for an update if you haven't already...


I wrote my congressman and one of his minions underlings assistants said it was with an officer. That was last Thursday, I believe. They also said don't call back until after the new year. I might ask my senator if I make it to 180 days. We'll see. I'm annoyed and frustrated, but Pete's very calm, and it helps.


It looks like you and I are on the same schedule. I spoke to my congressman's office last thursday too and they told me the same thing. I am really starting to lose it. I just wake up in the morning and start crying. I don't know how much longer I can take this.

Better information, better communication, a complaint "process", there has to be a more organized way to do this when its overwhelming.

I called USCIS today and I got a contradictory message. First of all, they told me the usual unhelpful answer "We are now processing April 29, next week we will probably start processing May applications."

Then they told me that our application is in security check. What does that mean? Does that mean they have started processing our application? We have had no touches since June 14 (NOA June 5).

Thank you,

Kelah and Ramiro



That is the OLDEST petition they have that is not completed. If you are in security check then your case has been assigned to an adjudicator. There is a back log in security checks. Hang in there...you are being worked..Im sure.

I was told that my case COULD BE held up in a security check and that is was with an officer. Which means nothing. COULD BE??? Is it or isn't it. They must at least know that. USELESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I just spoke to Senator Webbs offices. Very nice man there that represents the senator...said...

Security checks are backlogged..making the process longer. In addition, the senators (at least here) are WELL aware of the issues and is sure they will be discussing it when congress reconvenes in January. I explained that its not the backlog that concerns me but that those petitions from April, may and june that are waiting should be expedited since those wren't even touched..while they are process MID AUGUST!!! He said if I hear nothing by weeks end, to call and they will open a case for me. Find out exactly WHERE in the process my petition is.


He is the senator of where? I wonder if I can contact him????

I think we'll hear something by the end of the week, at least. If they weren't just making things up to get us off the phones, I figure even a slow adjudicator can't take seven days to get thru a crate, no?

Steph, no one is twisting your words. It just appeared that you had said that the best option was to lie. Which is never the best option. Saying that you are there to see friends and family isn't exactly the truth. The truth would be to say, 'I am here to see my fiancee'

I apologise if I misread what you said.

They seem to only turn people away if they have been on lots of visits within a short period of time. If you have enough evidence to prove that you are going home, it's usually ok.

But on the other hand, I suppose it depends on who you get on the day. No-one is guaranteed to get in anyway.


Never said to lie. As I stated earlier, I don't advise you do this. Maybe I should have used a different word then "friends". A mistake on my part. Replace "friends" with "fiance".

I bet there will be a whole flood of NOA2s. Consider this...maybe VSC is not updating the website or sending out the NOA2 notices. Maybe they have already been processed but they are lagging behind in getting the word out. Stay optomistic...I bet it's coming soon for all you VSC filers! good.gif Who knows what's going on.

It took us 142 days from the say we mailed it to be approved. We were approved Monday 10/08 from CSC.


I can see being optimistic if you are a CSC, TSC, or NSC filer, but not VSC filers. As I said in a previous post:
"A friend of mine told me today that his lawyer said that the VSC does not expect to get to any until at or after the 6 month point because of other "priorities." You guys better keep writing elected officials, USCIS, the ombudsman, etc...it is a hell of a lot more productive than coming on here and making excuses for them or being patient. Don't be patient, act now before we all get abused by them more."

By the way, I checked with the NVC and they confirmed there is nothing from VSC sent to them and VSC is not having system update problems as occurred at CSC a few times.



I am calling a lawyer today to look into what can be done if anything.

Please don´t lie to them. It could make it worse. Answer what they ask and be honest. Take some proof with you that you have the intention to go back to your country. Good luck good.gif



Also, they know that u r on a k1 visa. It's in the computer system and this is known by the immigration officer.


Actually, i'm not sure that they do know that unless you have told them on a previous visit


THey do know it. My fiance came through JFK this summer and the immigration lady knew about his k1 before he even mentioned it. I believe when they cash in ur money, the names get put on the computer.


You are right, they do know, that is why you shouldn't lie. You should be casual and say you are visiting friends and family and leave it at that. If you give them reason to believe that you won't be getting on a plane back they could turn you away. My fiance got stopped-believe me.

i'm not sure either if they will know we've applied for the visa since they don't have his passport number and there very well could be other people with his name.

but i agree however it is better not to lie..his best bet will probably only offer information of what is asked of him. and they have no reason to ask if he has a child here.

It is very important to be sure to NOT tell them he is waiting on a fiance visa. The reason to turn someone away is if they feel there is reason that they are at risk of staying illegally. A child is definitely a reason and they will find him a risk. Whatever he does he should NOT tell them about seeing his kid, you or anything. If asked he should say he is there for a vacation to visit friends.


Only offer the minimum information. If they don't ask then don't make a point of mentioning it. But whatever you do, do not lie. I recommend that he says that he is coming to see you. Not friends.

Sorry Steph, but I don't think telling someone to lie is very good advice at all.


I didn't say to lie, I said not to mention that he is hear to see friends (meaning his fiance & family), but not to mention anything about a child. I agree that you should not lie. I wouldn't tell someone to do that!

If asked he should say he is there for a vacation to visit friends.
