God please let these three day be when VSC processes NOA2 for JV members and ME. This would be the greatest gift of all. Good luck to everyone i hope that we will all receive our NOA2, so we can be with our loved ones.

I will be following this flowchart,

http://www.visajourn...amp;page=k1flow

I know the steps and the flow of things but I wont have to do any of it, I have an Immigration Lawyer doing this all for us. I have kids in the petition.

My fiancee is getting passports for the kids on Monday and I wait to see if my approved petition is at NVC after a week or 2.
Things move a lot faster now.

What you can do while you wait, get your evidence ready, chats, emails, letters, basically everything that proves a bonafide relationship. That should get your mind of NOA2 for a while.



Thank you for suggestions.

Hey Habibi, just to make you aware VSC has always been ahead of CSC and in my experience I always kept my expectations very low, you can ask any member of this awesome August thread, I rarely check the USCIS site, I only started this month, December 7th to be exact.

But personally i expected my NOA2 between January 20th and so on.
But then as December rolled along I became very ansy and at times getting angry at CSC.

I wish I can give you some figure or a clear estimation on your NOA2, I know its torture to see your processing center lay dorment and not process as much as the other, some of us got lucky and got ours before Christmas. Rightnow the only figure i can go with is your timeline, that's as close as we could get to an estimation. The numbers don't look great but then you need to be optimistic and strong, hang in there my friend, that NOA2 will come.


I tell yah these things come when you least expect it. I never expected to get mine this early, I didn't even know who CRIS was, I was so close to deleting it or putting it in my SPAM folder! it was actually an approval confirmation.



Thank you for your response, now that you have received your NOA2 what are your next steps. Does the NOA2 automatically gets forwarded to NVC? Do you have to pay filing fee to NVC? What are you doing now in order to bring your fiancee to US. Just wanting to be prepared. Thanks for any suggestions.

That's a pretty negative comment but that is definitely true, so many will be taking vacation time and time off but unfortunately deathnova is correct. May that's why CSC cranked out so many this week. As far as VSC they got some done.

Soinlove you have been a member here for awhile now, looking at my time and your experience that you have seen thru other members when is realistic time when i can get my NOa2.

they totally missed the early filers!!, i hope they realize this soon because a few September people is getting approved? huh.gif


At least someone is getting approved at CSC, at VSC no one is getting approved. Early filters and late filters are just sitting at some ones desk. crying.gif


We got no touch either. I wonder if VSC will work next week, cos it's Xmas week. That means they will get even slower... crying.gif


Federal government offices usually shutdown a week before Christmas and stay stalled out until the beginning of the year. There is basically no work going on at my office unless you count coming in to check e-mail, stare at the walls, lick the windows, and wander outside for "extended lunch" at 10:30AM.



I really hope that you are wrong, i hope that they will work on some NOA2. I need my NOA2. O by the way what government branch do you work in, if its not secret?

A got it, o and i was wondering do you check on USCIS website or when you registered at USCIS and them they email it to you.


Touch is just another name for the last updated date, they do not send emails when they update the case unless it is an approval or RFE (even then not everyone gets an email). I check the USCIS website and look at the last updated date to find out if my file has been touched or not.



Thank you for informing me

Why is VSC is so slow compared to CSC?? CSC is cranking out NO2 they are up to 25, but VSC looks like they left for holiday break early. Anyone knows what's going on? And when do you guys think looking at my time line i will get NOA2, just interested in your opinions. Thanks

Yes i will do that. Ill have him email me all the questions and the answers. I know he said she asked him to tell her about my childhood, he couldnt because i just havent told him about it like that and what was my hobby, she asked him my parents name he got that right and where i work. I believe they had issue with where i work because he answered i work for west at home and she said he was incorrect because i work for hsn, but they r both right. Im a work at home agent i work for and get paid by west however i take calls for hsn who is the company that pays west. When he told her my hobby was reading, she asked him to name the author, which he couldnt because i have never told him I always say a romance novel. But im gonna ask him tomorrow to give me all the question and post them on here. We also had plenty of info, yes we went through the vermont center






hi, miriam. sorry for your situation. we are just finishing up being denied in 2008, the refile, and now we are on AP. so if you are determined enough, and your relationship is truly valid you will win :star:
with that being said, what were the exact words on the denial? go over all the questions that he was asked. were there any answers he was unsure of or hesitated to answer? you will need to know what went on in order to really get an idea of how to proceed. in our case, we were denied the k1 for lack of relationship evidence, including an engagement ceremony. then we had submitted over 1 year's worth of phone records, emails, letters, and cards. still it wasn't enough. when we tried to comply with what they were asking (to the best of our ability) they told us our case was expired and being sent back to uscis.
which brings me to another question. when does your i129f expire? if you filed with california, they will let your petition remain expired, and you are free to refile anytime. we opted to get married and file cr1 instead since the i130 does not expire. if you filed originally with vermont, then i would advise holding off the getting married part because i have seen where vsc will revalidate the petitions.
so with that being said, go over every detail of your fiance's interview to see what the real issue is. if it is a complicated case, then i recommend getting an attorney who is experienced in denials. make sure they can show you documented proof of their success. i know there is an attorney that will pop in every now and then, marc ellis. you can find him on vj as ellis-island. he is well-known for returned petitions.
good luck to you, and if you believe it is real, then it will happen for you :star:
