Yes but do you notice that those who have gotten their case numbers today (Congrats to all btw) , have all been from VSC. I'm with CSC and they are being snails.

Hey I noticed we both received our noa2
Around the same time we are September 12th and we are also at csc hopefully they will receive our petitions quick!!!!![/quote]





Ours is Sept. 13 very close to yours too.we already tried calling last week to DOS and got a info about the 6 to 8 weeks waiting period.i tried emailing nvc and got the reply that they dont have our petition yet. And instruct us to email them our scanned NOA2 so that they will be the one to check it out to USCIS.i notice that nvc is now processing NOA2 approval from Aug 16 to 27.so guys whoever got their case number beyond this date please let us know.so that we will know what date range CSC now sending our approvals to NVC..

We are thinking about a Feb 14th wedding, but no plans as yet. We aren't going to send ourselves bankrupt doing a wedding, but it will be nice and just the way we want it. 

I was reading a thread the other day about VCS vs CSC. It seems that VCS are getting the notifications about file being shipped to NVC, but CSC aren't. CSC seem to wait till they have a month load of cases and send them once a month ( I could be wrong, but thats how it seems). I guess I can play the waiting game a little longer. Medical is booked without case number, so technically, I have 24 days to get our case number before the worry kicks in LOL

where did you read that ozgirl?now im worried!!i read somewhere also somebody ask them about the waiting time for CSC and they say that it will take about 15 business days before they gonna shipped it to nvc. i dont know why they have to wait that long?!?!?!i guess your right about the month load of cases..guess its true that we have to wait for 6 to 8 weeks before it even get into their system..this waiting thing is really really stressing us both..and we dont even have a choice but to wait again..dont think im going to be there by thanksgiving...huhu!cray5ol.gif

I never received an email saying our case had been shipped. We dont have our case number yet either thou. My fiance is calling again tomorrow. Hopefully our case number will be available.
Keep your head high. Each day is a step closer to being with your loved one..











Me too!but i notice those that are from vsc or tsc has been given this kind of notice, making their process much faster that ours.we are really positive that we will be together before thanksgiving but i guess we have to wait much longer..

Congrats to those approved! How long did you have to wait before your status changed  (forwarded to DOS for visa processing)? We are coming up on 4 weeks, which is only half of the alleged 8 week wait for the case number. 

did you receive the status that it was shipped to NVC?if not, i think CSC had a different way of processing their approve petitions. i notice that they send it in bulk to nvc, like those approve from august are still starting to get there case number this month. So we have to wait for about a month. Yours will be coming soon. While ours, will still be waiting for 2 more weeks..huhu! start emailing NVC, no response yet..its supposed to be much faster when it gets to this phase..just dont understand anymore..

Thank you Bryneff! I know right! smile.png we supposed to call NVC/DOS right, after 2 weeks to get our MNL case number? or we should call right away? hehe excited much? wink.png

To add to what Nursling said, try and download packet 3, if available at your fiance(e)'s country's embassy website, so you know what you send to your fiance(e) for the interview.

 

Typically you should send:

  1. Signed Fiance(e) letter of intent with a new date (original)
  2. Affidavit of Support with original signature
  3. Copy of 2012 Tax Return or Tax transcripts
  4. Copy of W2
  5. Letter from Employer
  6. Copy of your last 4 paystubs
  7. Evidence of ongoing relationship (phone logs, text logs, Instant Messenger logs, proof of you going back there to visit them, etc etc)
  8. Certified copies of: Birth Certificate, Death Certificate of Deceased Spouse (if applicable), Divorce Decree (if applicable), and any other official documents they may require.

 

What I recommend also sending along:

  1. Statements from friends/family/co-workers stating that your relationship is genuine and why they support it, etc.
  2. Copy of your entire I-129F petition with original signatures where the USC needs to sign, and the original date you signed it on.

 

I could be missing something though. smile.png

lol!thanks!i'll keep this list and start checking ours too.we might forgot some that you just listed..better be ready..

So I am the petitioner but I have been living in Israel for the past 3 years... and yes I mailed it directly to uscis
Also are you in the California office or the Vermont?

i see! were at California office. i know, there moving fast on the approvals but for rfe i think they sort of schedule it on a specific date before looking into it. i dont know, our rfe was an easy one and i couldnt think of any reason why its taking them so long.ClockWatch2.gif


bryneffNot TellingPhilippines2013-08-29 04:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

I hope so!
I mailed it over a week ago on the 20th from Israel and still nothing im starting to get worried that it might be lost somewhere in the mail because it usually takes exactly a week hopefully we will both hear something soon!!!

did you mail it directly to USCIS address?or to your petitioner?they already receive our rfe last aug22 but until now there not doing anything on it.even those before me were still not being touch.


bryneffNot TellingPhilippines2013-08-29 03:16:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

I hear you.. They can take up to 60 days for NOA2 after RFE. Earliest I have seen is 9 days. Dont lose hope. CSC received our RFE on 26th Aug.

For those who have been approved... Yippeee.. Congrats!!!!

For those who are still waiting.. Please dont give up yet. It breaks my heart to see you guys/gals not being the one leap closer to your loved ones. I'm thinking of you and waiting on good news from you all. 

Love and peace to everyone 





thanks ozgirl. its just frustrating sometimes, cause were planning already his trip to be with me when i have my interview and we cant do the whole thing without the noa2 on his hands.huhu!
