Wow! I'm impressed by CSC! (Never thought I'd say that) Good job today!!

:dance: :dance: :dance: CONGRATULATIONS everybody on your approvals!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:
Could I get one too? Pretty please??


It must have been that call I made to them...not exactly a threat...but you know...j/k :devil:

Congrats to all :dance:


I just did a timeline search for the 1/26 NOA1s, there are nine, four have NOA2 approvals. Am I being unduly impatient and concerned? What number did you call?



George sorry, I was being sarcastic. I didnt call....just making fun of CSC. Sorry for the confusion.



LOL... I knew about the "threats" not being sincere. But asking what number you called for information was sincere. Also, I count 13 January filers getting NOA2s today, probably a couple more today once they update their timelines.

Take heart (easy for me to say, I know), but today is Wednesday and they usually have a good last 3 days of the week. And with SO much good news today, and 2 days left this week - perhaps there's even more action just around the corner!

I will keep thinking good thoughts your way!

I was touched on the 26th of April. I called USCIS today and the young lady I spoke to on the phone basically said that my application was still pending that that it may take upto six months!! :blink:

I tried that route of wanting to change address; but she was not able to help.

I'm hoping for approval BEFORE the six months she so casually mentioned!!



Another 6 months my ###!! Why don't they try waiting 6 months!

Ooh, that makes me angry :angry:


The "6 months" USCIS always mentions is just the standard reply. I'm still counting on what the Customer Service agent told me when I called about two weeks ago. He said there was a large increase on all visa apps the middle of January. This would add another two weeks to a month to the backlog.

I found several problems in the timeline database and the search program. The database problem is there are several cases with more than one timeline entry. The beginning-end date function does not work as the search function implies because beginning/end-dates may not be included. These numbers are very close, but may be a case or two off:

Alright George, the ball in is in your court. I've got the same number of NOA2's now, but you are missing one filer (or I've got one extra)! LOL


Who is the extra? What's their name on the timeline, and their member name?



I searched K1, NOA1, 2007-01-00 thru 2007-01-32. It comes up with 99. I "briefly" scanned them with the ole eyeballs and looks like all Jan NOA1.

PS Now why would "Start" and "End" actually mean "Start" and "End"! We should have known better, it is just so obvious! :wacko:
:lol: :lol:


I just ran the search again and also got 99. I think there was another member who put their timeline up. I'll revise the numbers again tomorrow PM.

Any explanation for the 5 day February NOA1-NOA2 result of member "rebex05" from the U.S. and Cuba/Armenia?

George


rebex05? My guess is that he waited in the lobby with no food and they felt bad, he entered the date incorrectly, it was expedited, or he is just plain FOS? LOL

I see you have a Jan 32 end date, so you think the "End" date is not included in the search? The search result does say "between". I gotta pour over these stupid results. Geesh


The "between" was a bit ambiguous to me as well. Does between mean inclusive or exclusive of the end dates? That is why I put in a begin date for January of 2007-00-00 and end of 2007-01-32. Now it appears between is exclusive, NOT including the end dates.

I'm not worried at all. I just cant believe that they would just completely stop processing k1 visas. I dont buy into that 45 day thing either. I know they are way too slow, but they have been giving touches and noa2's sparingly.

Maybe another week for us 1/29 people??

Keep hope & positive.


I think the 45 addtional days is an estimate, and the explanation makes PARTIAL sense. That is, DFC's processing has been added to the workload of CSC.

I don't know about the H1 work visas adding to the workload explains much, unless there was a shift in the offices that process them. Isn't the H1 work visa influx an annual thing? One year ago, there was not a similar slowdown in NOA2s from CSC.

Here's the Congressman response I got. This will be a bit easier anyways. Not TECHNICALLY a double post, right? :whistle:

Dear Ms. Tiffany

Thank you for your recent correspondence and for bringing this matter to my attention. The decisions of federal agencies have a direct impace on the lives of many Texans. For that reason, I understand the importance of this issue to you. As your United States Senator, I am happy to offer my assistance.

Accordingly, I have contacted the appropriate officials at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and asked them to provide a response to your concerns. I will write you again as soon as I receive their reply to my inquiry.

I appreciate having the opportunity to represent you in the United States Senate and to be of service in this matter.

Sincerely,

John Cornyn
United States Senator



P.S. Thanks for the much-needed pep talk, Sjoe. Think we're all a bit down lately with CSC dragging their feet!!!

I wrote Congressmen two weeks ago Tuesday regarding inconsistent processing times and the overall lengthy process of obtaining family-based visas. I didn't (at this time) request for assistance with my own petition specifically - although I did sign all of the information waivers to provide them with any information that may be of assistance (and hey - if they want to help - by all means, get on it). Followed up with an email yesterday because I had not received a response yet. Today I got a letter in the post from my Senator who is up for re-election next year. Posted response he sent me in the USCIS forum.

My NOA-1 was 01/16.


still new here -- are you guys getting "touches" through the email notifications you set up on the USCIS website or are you having to go each time and check their site on-line?
thanks!
autumn

You must check the USCIS website for a "touch" that does not result in an action. An action that results in a change of status will generate an email. A "touch" only means the petitioner's file was scanned, resulting in a date change. This means someone is looking at your file.

I've rarely seen someone announce "just received" their NOA2 in the middle of the day. Do you think the updates at the site
