Your cheque will have been cashed as they wouldn't issue a NOA1 without payment first wink.gif The debit should show on the petitioners account. Don't worry about not having heard, there are plenty of us from September that are still waiting hopefully!!

Doesn't NHS cover those shots?


No, the age limit is 12+ over here and then there is a strict in-school program. I don't need it cos i'm too old! I'm going to see if I can get them at work though....I have had most things already as I work for the NHS.

I just read another thread where a CSC filer got an approval notice email today, so perhaps its usual for them to work Saturdays??

Slightly offtopic45vn.gif I have been looking into the vaccine thing........i'm guessing I will have to get my daughter jabbed before the interview too?? Shes just turned 11 so that means coughing up for the super expensive HPV vaccine (about £130) crying.gif

Hello september filers. Since I am on the August/September border of filing.. and many of my august brethren have received their NOA2... I am migrating to the september filers thread to squat here for a while. Maybe you guys will give me some good luck... seeing as their are so little of you.

So, formally... HELLO.

Nick


Hi Nick, and welcome to the September club!! You know, I think there are actually more September filers left than August?? I saw this morning that somebody else with my NOA1 date has been approved........call me sad, but I can't help wondering WHere my little I-129f is languishing...is it in a box by somebodys desk...is it filed away on a shelf....AM I ANY-BLOODY-WHERE NEAR BEING APPROVED!!!!!! huh.gif

You'd think regardless of the backlog they'd still manage to approve more than 2.....I have no idea what numbers they employ in either service centre but surely, all things being equal, they should have the capacity to approve similar amounts daily??

OK, well I just got home from a good shopping trip, retail therapy really is the best!! Thanks to it I am feeling slightly more optimistic star_smile.gif (how long it will last is anyones guess!) so on a positive note, it must be anytime SOON that we will start to see more and more September filers getting their NOA2. I have never once looked up the CSC filers as it seems to me to be pointless. Its like picking which line to stand in at the supermarket, whichever I choose always ends up taking the longest!!

I had to remember that K1s and K3s aren't the only things that VSC and CSC are processing- perhaps they are working on those other visas. Also, their are tons- TONS- of people who never discovered VJ.


There is a publication on the website that states that they process an average of 30,000 applications every day. Isn't that amazing?



Thanks everyone. Appreciate it. Good luck to all that are waiting. Karri - will send my good luck your way. With the way things are moving at CSC, it looks though that you could have your approval in short order as well.

Anyone know what the next steps are for me ? How do I know when NVC received my app. Is there a number to call to check. Also, how do I know when the Consulate will receive my K1 app packet/NOA2. Do I need to contact them or they will get in touch with my fiancee (beneficiary)?
Thanks


Thats awesome news kicking.gif
You must be thrilled, I know I would be!!

I'm not sure how many people have dropped off the board and not updated their timeline but I am one of the many that rarely posts since joining, simply because the waiting seems to take forever so I don't make the agony worse by checking everyday. I certainly have had no 'touches' or anything since the NOA1.

I do have one question or observation, forgive me if I am wrong, but it does seem like the UK applications don't get processed as fast as some others especially since there are so many, you'd expect the odd one to slip through sooner or later surely *fingers crossed*!!

Well, heres to the rest of us hearing soon good.gif

Guys:

I was wondering the same thing. This September VSC group is a quiet bunch. I do see early Aug folks rolling at VSC, so we all should be next. Hopefully, by year end/early Jan they will get us all Sep filers. Keeping my fingers crossed and wishing us all good luck in our journey.

Kirsten UK - see that you are from Charlotte. So, am I. I am up in Mooresville/Lake Norman area.


I'm currently in the UK, the local office is Charlotte where my partner is from, but we'll be heading over there hopefully soon.....come on VSC!!

I think we may get an RFE, every time I log on I see more things I shouldn't have done from looking at other peoples posts sad.gif

I was on here every day to begin with but to be honest I know its going to be at least Christmas/New Year before they do anything, and coming back everyday just makes the waiting and seperation worse.

Shanira, did you every get your NOA1??

I rang UCSIS, I knew it would be fruitless but I was at that stage you know...desperate! So I rang and of the many things she said that i found either hilarious or interesting was this gem....I can see you have been appointed an officer??!! What dies this mean anyone? Are we all appointed officers right from the start or does that mean somehow I have made progress without being 'touched' and may at some point in the not-to-distant future going to hear something? Anyone know at what stage you are appointed an officer?

Now, a little while ago someone started a thread about 'why all the fuss about getting your NOA2', I can't remember who they were but if they were in our shoes now they may realise it was a bit of a daft question. Its an enormous milestone that puts peoples minds at rest, albeit until the interview.


I remember that thread, she was approved today.


Oh, cruel twist of fate!! haha, good for her though...no doubt she won't be celebrating just yet biggrin.gif

Middle East and North AfricaAnyone else hate this question as much as I do?

Maybe I should write the answer on my forehead..............."I DON"T FREAKIN KNOW......STOP ASKING ME!!!"


Yes, it's an annoying question. Ever since I told people at the hospital where I work and the church where I attend that I'm engaged, I've been asked this question. And mind you, this isn't just 20-30 people...try a couple hundred. Including people who've forgotten what you told them a week ago...so the conversation has to be straightened out all over again! I got asked more annoying questions by a few other people who've tried to pry, but I won't go into those. But back to the original question, over time that question does dissipate as people finally understand that it will take a while. I told most everybody in my most recent spiel, "I submitted the paperwork to get her here, and also after conversations with Jacki, it appears she will be here around January of next year." So now most people get that...but there are always stragglers who haven't heard the details. But one thing I've learned is, answer as politely and as methodically as you can...because most of the people who ask are only asking because they care...sure, some are gossipers, but treat everyone as if they genuinely care about your situation. Perhaps you can give them something to do, too...pray for you and your fiancé's application and visa process to go by speedily. Bug them and ask them if they've been praying for you. The time apart from your loved one isn't easy on you as it is...and everyone needs true, sincere prayer from others.

God bless-
