Hi all, congrats to my fellow refugees who have received their NOA2.

For the sake of our friends who are still waiting for approvals, please consider asking your NVC-related questions in the thread titled "CSC to TSC to NVC: the Saga continues" thread.

As you know, prior to approval it can be extremely frustrating to see other people getting advanced to the next level and you're still stuck in the black hole. Repeatedly asking non-TSC-CSC questions here, specifically regarding the NVC, AOS, etc., in my opinion is in bad form, and inconsiderate towards our friends who are still waiting.

Please do think about this and take your questions to the "CSC to TSC to NVC: the Saga continues" thread.

To those of you still waiting, we're all rooting for you, keep the Faith!! :thumbs:







Thank you so much asking people to do that! It is very frustrating to wait specially at 7 mounths and don't know what is going to happen.Thank you again.

Put it on your fridge! :lol:

As more and more people get their approvals there will be less posts here. I'm just here waiting for a response from my RFE. Hope I get an approval by the end of the week.

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting. It has been 8 months since I filed my papers. This is ridiculous. I am not even going to be that happy when and if I receive my approval. This whole ordeal took all the energy out of me.



I feel exactly just like you, 3 more days it will be 7 months for me.I didn't get response for my RFE either,only a touch on 3/2. I really started feeling bad and I am sick.I am not going to be happy myself.Each time I got a messege from USCIS,I woke my husband up(8 hrs.difference )hoping there was a approval.RFE,touch..touch..touch..sick of it!

Send an email to this reporter, Cindy Carcamo ( ccarcamo@ocregister.com ), write it in Spanish, that will get her attention. Also, in the Subject line, put <NOT SPAM>, she'll be sure to see it.

Good Luck



I am going to write to her also!

I'm still in complete shock. Hubby is so happy as well! When I got the email my son ran out the room when I was screaming and gave me a weird look and said "ssshhh...I'm watching my movie" (an almost 3 year old btw..smh).

I hope that many others receive their approvals and any corrections to any confusion (celldoc), as well as NVC #'s. For those with RFE's hang on, just take the steps needed to rectify whatever, and you will be in smooth sailing...I want us all to get out of this black hole!!!

Goodnight to all! *does the Carlton dance*

well folks - we had news today but not great news - put us down for an RFE. At least our papers aren't lost but it is a bit disheartening after 7 months to suddenly get asked for more documents. oh well...



I know exactly how you feel,I got one last week also.You're not alone..

to wait or not to wait, to badger or not to badger, to be or not to be patient,.
i was just talking to the wife online,she says she is going to call CSC tomorrow after work,but im wondering if thats the way to go, we have had some action this week and yall know we had a reply from cheif badger, who said he was REACHING OUT to those at CSC from TSC,.... So,who do we contact there? or do we go automated with the phone helpline, or ask for a tier two officer, or email,
we are so lost right now, and i just want to be home in sunny florida with my lovely wife,,,

You are not the only one didn't get NOA2,there are few of us still waiting,It will be 7 months in March 11th for me.

My dearest VJ family, who've been through, and are still on, one of the most disturbing roller coaster rides of our lives, I haven't received ANY text message or ANY email regarding the status of my case.

At 8:54PM, after having finished my cases at work from 6 this morning, I followed my usual routine- get on VJ, read up on how my friends are doing, and for the hell of it log on to the USCIS website.

My I130 and I129F cases statuses were both updated as of today.

I immediately clicked on the I130 and my eyes fell on a blue dot overlying "Post Decision Activity". Not having mailed in any wedding photos, tickets, receipts, Skype screen shots, affidavits, joint account information, etc., I feared I was in for the mother of all RFEs.

The notice reads as follows:

Post Decision Activity


CONGRATULATIONS!!!VERY HAPPY FOR YOU!!!
On February 22, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.


The notice for my I129F reads as follows:

Post Decision Activity

On February 22, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.


I am in sheer disbelief.

Good morning CaliforniaGuy,

That's exactly the same RFE I had first. We sent 5 family, co-workers and friends' affidavits.
We got to keep the faith


Hi There,

After you sent the affidavit's,how long it took USCIS to approve you?

The tax returns would be a good idea as well as adding her to your checking account. Hopefully that and your affidavits will appease the officers.



Can not add beneficiary to checking acct.,I tried,they are asking social security number and they don't have yet.

I just received the RFE in the mail today and they want me to submit evidence to establish the marriage is bona fide. I am furious!!!!! I sent 2 dozen pictures from several different cities with me and my wife. I send cell phone bills showing all the phone calls between us. I sent my marriage certificate. What else do they need??? I am not living with my wife helloooo!! How am I suppose to have the following?

*Documentation showing joint ownership or property
*A lease showing joint tenancy of a common residence
*Birth certificate of children born
*Affidavit sworn to by 3rd parties
*Any other relevant documentation to establish that there is an ongoing marital relationship

I am not living with my wife! Helllooooooo How am I suppose to have a lease or property??? We don't have children yet! So I am now freaked out!!! I will get 2 affidavits from 2 people (relative or friends) does it matter who I get it from? What else can I include??? I thought the telephone statements and the pictures from several different trips would have been enough. I can't even prove that my marriage is bona fide! Please help people I don't know what to send.

I HATE OFFICER # XM 1117 !!!!!

I got ANOTHER NOA2!! #######!! :rofl: :wow:

At least I have my Congressman's attention now. Can't wait for CaliforniaGuy to get online to see if he got a call from the Congressman's office as well (we're in the same district). I mad a "tweet" last night about another constituent (CaliforniaGuy) not hearing from his office as well.



TSC making a mistake left and right.I just received RFE letter from them and guess what guys,they have somebody else's name as a beneficiary.I included a letter and told them,that name is not my beneficiary's name.Maybe I didn't even needen RFE.They are mixing Couples :bonk:

Please let me know when you receive the RFE in the mail. I got it on Valentine's Day as well just like you. What a gift lol. Since you live in Texas, whichever day you receive it in the mail I will most likely receive it the following day since I'm in California. I hate the waiting! Keep your hopes up and keep in touch.


I will let you know as soon as I receive it and please do the same.I will keep in touch with you.

That's messed up. Made you wait and ONLY NOW give you that news. Here's hoping they messed up in giving you that news, and then send you an email saying you are approved. That's possible, cuz they've been doing that to Wade- giving different infos, that you don't know anymore what to believe in.

I hope you do get your NOA2 soon.



Thank you so much,you just made my night!I don't feel so good since I've got RFE.I hope you're right!!

Tell me about it. I am going bananas waiting to see what my RFE was about. Out of anger I sent an e-mail to Angela asking for more info on the RFE. Waiting a week to find out what you did wrong after waiting 6 months just makes your blood boil!



same here,I got the RFE for Valentines day gift from TSC.I am also waiting to see what is this RFE about.
ceyhunihalFemaleTurkey2011-02-16 23:15:00

I am convinced that many RFEs simply mean they lost your evidence and need another copy.
