Yes, at TBIT smile.gif Ah yes, the cutie little pup. I will remember that. What we have here at ours are great danes though.

Hi all,

I got a NOA1 from CSC on May 15th but there is no word on NOA2 and only one week left before the 5 month processing time deadline. A few questions for you all:

1 - Is there anyone else in a similar situation?
2- Can the NOA2 be delayed past the 5 month processing time?
3 - I see that some people have "touch" in their timelines, what does that mean?

many thanks in advance...


Hi,

I also received my NOA1 around may 15 or so. On the advice of some great people (Starlight95 mostly) I contacted my representative about a week ago. Today I got an email from the representative saying that I was approved for the NOA2. I'm sure that the congressional inquiry played a part in getting the approval. So,... my thoughts to you is to contact your Representative today.


Update: After a service request with USCIS and two congressional inquiries, my petition was finally approved yesterday (10/28/2009).


Congratulations SUMO! and Congratulations trdc3lica! rose.gif

To answer question: Yes timeline is different for everyone. The only reason that is quite obvious is on background checks. Some get delayed, some get done more quickly. For what this is could be in detail, only the CIS knows. The touches are the times when your paper is looked at by the staff working on the petition at CIS

For those interested in my interview experience, just please look at the embassy/consulate reviews. Summing up, it was a really very nice experience for me.

Hi May peeps.....

I am still waiting on my NOA 2...... nothing yet.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I called the congressman in Sept and he made a inquiry and said they are still looking into backgrounds....

now my processing time has come and gone ... so I finally got a real person to make a service inquiry about out of processing times....... since then my case has been touched 2x and 1 email stating when they forward my case to a officer I will recieve an explanation and futher instructions...
the email came 1st then the 2 touches Thursday then Friday but NOTHING yet.......... Strange thing was the guy on the phone( VERY VERY HELPFUL AND VERY VERY NICE... BRIAN) he said I have what it looks like 2 dates May14 and May19 I am not sure to think of this.... but it does not give me comfortable feelings... I am terrified I am going to be denied why and how come they are touching but not doing anything else......

congrats to all that have recieved interviews and GOOD LUCK>>>>>>>>
soon you all will be in the arms of ur loved one.....

AMANA/KIM


What Rhiann is saying is true. Touches are a good thing as you are certain they are looking into your petition. Whatever is the outcome, you can answer it for certain (be it RFE or what-have-you from USCIS Cali). It's very hard to wait that is for sure. But hang in there Amana/Kim. We're with you. Perhaps the next thing you can do is to call your Congressman/Senator offices again. I am sure they are more than willing to help you on this one.

Your approval is here soon, you'll see.

As for me my fears are coming up for my fiances interview. He is going to hopefully get a date this week. Lets see when it is.

Thank you Star! You are in our thoughts as well. Work... I know how that feels Star. In one hand, cramming all work stuff to be done flawlessly and the visa concerns on the other. It's like walking on a thin line. Had it not been for work, I could have done it all since the 1st week of October. But first things first.

Is the interview set already?

For everyone on the waiting end, we're with you. rose.gif

Just an update: I have passed the medical examination on Monday and Tuesday here and shall be going home a few hours from now. I am flying back on my 28th October interview. Have to say that the poking and the needles were daunting for me but contrary to experiences I have read from fiance/es in my country, it was all a breeze for me. First day I was done in 2 hours considering I came in the clinic at 2.30 and the next day, I only waited for my results to be released for about 30 minutes after an hour waiting to get inoculated. All in all, I am considered physically viable to enter a foreign territory as a virus and bacteria free alien in strict compliance of the requirements of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. biggrin.gif
