YES YES YES!!! Got approval notice today Feb. 28th!! I hope this is a good sign for all you who don't have approvals yet. I pray yours come soon!!! We are so excited!! COngratulations ....We are also November fillers,but until now we haven't receive our NOA2 yet.. GOD LUCK........ Thank you so much! It will come shortly for you I know it!! Keep your chin up approvals are happening everyday for VSC filers. They are moving fast and you will get yours soon I know. Please call them using TboneTX's guidelines for talking to them......I called 3 days in a row and got my approval 5 days later........Don't get mad or upset on the phone with them, just talk their language like it says. You will feel so good after doing it. Good luck and keep me posted on your progress!! How to use the TboneTX's? Here is TboneTX's guidelines for calling the USCIS. Good luck. I hope it works for you too!! See below These tips are not guaranteed for speeding receipt of your NOA2, but they worked for me after many weeks of banging my head against stone walls and unhelpful front-line call-screeners. They have also worked for other VJ members whose K-1 files had been sitting unapproved for some time. I recommend trying these tips if you're approaching or have exceeded the posted "we are processing applications received as of" date at the CSC. These recommendations may (or may not) appear similar to what has been called the "RFE Trick." There is no "trick" involved here. Until now, I have posted these tips in individual response to plaintive cries for help. Without exception, others have stated that trying the recommendations proved effective and served to relieve their own personal stress. Perhaps the VJ moderators will consider pinning this thread so that all who are frustrated can have one place to look. --- Here is what I did to shake things loose. The keys are to [1] reach a correct person, and [2] speak USCIS's language. Call 800-375-5283 , then hit 1,2,2,4,2,1; enter your receipt number; hit 1,1. (There is no need to wait for all of the recorded options to be read before you hit these buttons.) The recording will almost certainly say that "additional evidence is required," but don't necessarily believe it. When the phone rings, you should be speaking with an actual Immigration Officer (not a clueless front-line screener who can tell you only what you already know). If the recording said that "additional evidence is required," ask the ImmOff exactly this: "Why does the recording say that I have a Request For Evidence?" He/she will almost certainly tell you that there's no record of an RFE; thank him/her profusely. Then (or first), ask exactly this: "Will you please tell me exactly where in the Division my file is?" He/she will tell you. Then say exactly this: "I'm aware that several files received after mine have already been approved, and the USCIS website clearly says 'we process applications in the order we receive them.' Will you please send an e-mail to the floor, and ask the person at the ____ station [whatever the ImmOff told you] to please hand-carry the file to the next station?" The ImmOff will appreciate your "speaking the language," because it is so different from the usual plaintive "do something!" that they hear all day, every day. The e-mail should at least cause one of the processors on the floor to handle your file, and your record on the USCIS Case Status website may soon reflect a "touch." The procedures that I have recommended are worth it, and you should feel better afterwards. Depending on how long ago you have submitted your application (the longer, the "better"), you can repeat this process every 10 to 14 days. Do NOT mention that you are part of an on-line community; this is not necessary, and mentioning it could hinder your success. However, feel free to post your stories on VJ! Thank you for th guidelines...We will try it soon and see if things will work out fine... Your welcome!! It won't hurt to try it.......you got nothing to lose and only maybe some touches and hopefully an approval to gain!! Good luck and let me know how it goes........I will pray for you!! We did not try it yet..but we will try,a simple touched is better than not being touched..lol...Thanks for including us in your prayers...	ronin6280	Female	Philippines	2008-03-06 21:09:00
