Some good time line news for us all. My time line just went from May 28th to May 24th...so I'm guessing everyone else's went down as well. Nice way to start the weekend I s'pose.

I check this site all day long too :P. I didn't know/bother to count how many days it has been since my NOA1. Under 100 is good for me. :P. Hope you can gets yours soon.

If it weren't for my updated NOA1 that I should be getting, I would think that I'm getting my NOA2. The reason why I say this is because I got another touch today...2 in a row. Some times (when you don't have another reason for it) the 2 in a row means NOA2. Obviously not always but looking at other people's time lines, it looks like 2 touches in a row is a good sign. Too bad mine in just the NOA1. Are you working full time John? If that is your real name. I know that having a kid def consumes my time and ability to be panicking every minute about not getting my NOA2 yet.

Uht oh. Someone made John mad...must've really pushed a button. You are usually so happy and possitive. We can be good examples to the future people get NOA2's to update out time lines and not screw with their minds. :).

Sorry, I was thrown off by you saying that you got your transcript. I thought you were talking about the PCC. Ooops. Well good job to both you and your wife with having everything prepared. I don't know about India, but for my husband's country, we have to send in the Police Reports and blah blah to the NVC.

My husband doesn't want to get the stuff until he knows it is needed. Super helpful :P. I am piecing together things for the I-864 and Have the majority of it filled out as well as the DS-230. I copied the e-mail version of the DS3230 or whatever it is and will send it to my husband for him to e-mail in. I also have things semi put together for the interview. Hopefully we will make it that far. Good job JohnDoe12 for having things ready ahead of time. I take it your certificates don't expire for a while.

Usually unless you are contacted to do a biometrics appointment, the CR1's don't do they biometrics appointment.

Thanks Tena13. Seems like more systems failures for them. Does the "touch" part of the website work for you?

I just tried to check my case again (because I can :P) and it says this:




* Case Status Retrieval Failed
* Multiple duplicate SRs already exist for the customer

What?????? I wonder what that means? I just realized I didn't check my case but rather for "touches" earlier. What a weird day for USCIS.

I got touched today. Probably regarding the NOA1 they will be sending me. Did anyone else get touched?

Well, this last time that I called, I told the guy that since I had called so many times before I was going to stop him because I pretty much know what he is going to say. I then told him the things that I wasn't calling about and told him I am not such and such but am a this that and the other and filed this petition on said date and that I know what the I-797C (NOA1) says (because they read that to you...every time you call). So all in all about 5 minutes before you can tell them your problem/inquiry.

Like I said before though, my ducks aren't in a row so I'm in no big hurry to just hurry up and wait (yet) in NVC.

Mr. Doe12- The regular way is to call the 1-800 # and talk to the operator and have them tell you the same thing they tell you every time and then after they get done asking their questions and making sure you aren't a lawyer, tell them the situation and they will make a service request to which you have to wait 30 days for a response.

The Bears- Thanks for the reminders! Less than a month left for your interview!!!! Congrats!

The e-mail that I received last night from CSC didn't tell me if they were going to send me a corrected NOA1 so I sent them another e-mail and they basically shot me back an e-mail telling me that i need to follow the regular rules first of how to get information. Ooops!

Thanks! I highly doubt that it means I will get NOA2. That would be shocking. I need to e-mail back and ask I will be getting a new I-797C or not. It didn't say.

No luck with getting a touch during the site being down. *Sigh. I didn't figure I would get one anyway. Also no luck with the e-mail response from USCIS. I will wait until tomorrow though.

Hopefully none of us gets stranded behind while the rest get speedy approvals. Too bad we can't make a plea to USCIS about your "bond" and the need for a group approval. :P.

So I e-mailed the 1st address that the operator gave me yesterday and it came back as undeliverable. Nice! So I just sent the same e-mail to the 2nd e-mail address I was given (and also told to wait 21 days for a response from the 1st one). Hahahahahahaha! I hope it works or I will be calling USIC back and letting them know they were wrong with me once again :P.

March2010, you said that you filed a I-129 correct? Have you received an NOA1 yet for that? That might be what all of the touches are about. I wonder if they have to send out the NOA1 for that before they can send out the NOA2...I sure hope not.

March2010!!!!!!! Maybe you will hear something as early as tonight. Did you set yourself up for text notification? if so, you might be getting a text at some crazy hour. Since you set the e-mail as "non-junk" you would get the e-mail but how knows at what hour. Come on March2010!!!!! Now you've got me all excited for you!!!!

Where did everyone go? I'd like to not be able to check this website for a few days at least and then come back to some good news. Sadly, I don't have enough self control and I keep hoping for good news from everyone so I keep checking.
Hopefully my husband will have some good news for me when we talk later on tonight. Me: "yeah, yeah...happy anniversary...now on to the important stuff, do you have those PAPERS or not?!" Him: (that remains to be seen). :P.

I copied the barcoded cover sheet to show to you all but it copies the info different than is displayed on the page. The cover sheet can only be accessed after a payment shows as PAID. You can either have the cover sheet e-mailed to you or print it right then and there. You can also have the payment recipts e-mailed to you or print them out.

Also, I guess that since it is letting me pay the IV fee bill, my DS3032 was accepted as well. I didn't receive any notification about that but it wouldn't let me pay that before, so that is a good sign.

Uhh.... LMFAO!!! So...as I let all of you know, I used the wrong number for the payment portal. I was supposed to put in 13 digits for my account number but only used 6 (because I thought it was only 6 long). I read that some one with the same time line as me received a confirmation for their payment today so I figured today would be when they would deny my not-so-awesome payment. I called the NVC line and the AVR said that my payment was received on June 11th (which is when I made the mistake). I just now checked the payment portal and they accepted my payment. Hahahahahahahha! :rofl: How on earth that happened, I have no idea. :blush: Now I get to go save the barcoded sheet and then go pay the other fee (correctly this time). I just used up all of my NVC luck :). Maybe I got lucky because the post service sucks or because tomorrow is my one year anniversary. Who knows, either way it is cool. Too bad that luck can't extend into the AOS and other areas where I am lacking.

Some one else around here needs some good news! C'mon USCIS!!!!

Looks like I will be sending out a new DS3032...a.k.a, don't e-mail it ahead of it/from U.S. unless you are in the U.S. The wait for the AOS bill and DS3032 e-mail isn't too long.

As for the biometrics, they will contact you if you need to go do that. The automatically do biometrics at the interview and at the POE (for foreign). I was never contacted about doing biometrics.

Tom, looks like it is time to invite more people to go kayaking. We should really all go on a kayaking trip after we get our spouses here. Fun and healthy.
