I've heard quite a few members here said that once the NOA2 is 'approved' things move relatively quicker. I don't get what that means. Is it quicker because it is psychological? Whereby a definite timeline exists and some activity is evident. Because I've started to be concerned that once the NOA2 kicks in, I might have another 3 month wait until the interview.

For some reason, I had a scene of "Life is Beautiful" in my head before I slept last night. The character Guido played by Roberto Benigni was a care-free and could make light of the situation for the sake of his son. This was all done despite the challenges faced.

Sure, one could argue it is a wonderful lie; but it made me reflect upon myself. Faced with all this waiting and uncertainty, I've been feeling rather miserable.

I wondered how do I stay happy and positive as this (visa process) is a very frustrating experience. I feel worn out, basically feeling like a cat rug. Run over numerous times.

Guido in his tattered clothes, fatigued and starving still made an effort. I guess being happy is a great effort. Overcoming that urge to slink into the comforting mud hole of depression.

Ok. So my fiance just called USCIS about our case since it has past the 5 month mark on 30/31 Dec 2010. They said they will submit an inquiry. And told us to call back in 20 days.

Now what?

yamashita,im so sorry that youre still waiting,i really feel for you and your fiancee,just a couple of more weeks


Three more days (30 Dec) and we'll hit the 5 month mark. But thanks to everyone's experience here I've lowered my expectations drastically. Been trying to keep myself preoccupied with learning something new. Spending some time with some good friends and eating everything that would be considered exotic or expensive in the States. I would have thought I'd be there by February. Looks like it will go on longer. I hope it won't take more than 9 months for the total process.

@thelastpetitioner: Thank you. I'm also glad to hear things worked out with you too. Were you user "ygr"? Wishing you and everyone here a Happy New Year. Please keep this thread alive.

:unsure:

I am still waiting for mine and sympathize for those who have past their 5 month mark.

I've run out of things to say, really. What else is there to do but wait?

It isn't exactly the most difficult time. Yet, I find the whole process dragged out that all enthusiasm is quite lost. A "meh" instead of a "yay". Right now it is a BLEH.

Bleh. I hope this coming week brings more VJ members approval. I'd like to see something moving forward. That gives me some skewered sense of hope that perhaps they are working closer to mine as well.

@Blob18 : Yes, it is good to be prepared. I hope they don't take an issue with that and able to correct it at a later stage. I am preparing some supplementary evidence since the time I filed. The idea that it might take another 2-3 months after receiving the NOA2 really makes me feel fed-up with the day to day routine. I hope USCIS officers get back to work on Monday. :wacko:

So we're at 4 months since our NOA1 now. What are people going to do in a month from now when it gets to a 5 month wait?


I believe then we have a reason to contact our local congressman to inquire on our behalf to USCIS. I hope it doesn't get to that stage.

To the senior members, has USCIS ever missed their 5 month commitment?

From Job to John Lennon ... Got to love VJ!

Hang in there, Sam and Abby . We are all literally on a stretch here. What luck July has to come to a halt. I have since lowered my expectations for the full 150 days. I've watched VJ's estimated timeline adjusted thrice from late Oct to early Dec. I wished we had someone on the inside to let us know what's going on. It is already mid-week. Another day I've skipped lunch. Just completely lost my appetite. I am not giving up though.

Today, I was checking out Google Maps to familiarize myself with the area I'll be living. Shared with my fiance where are the places she often frequents and talked about places we'd go once I'm there. Read up about employment, taxes, and savings for the future. I'm also in the process of figuring out my personal belongings and making an inventory so I can figure out what to donate to friends, dump and ship off.

I feel sorry for you, jereremmy for the RFE. Just be aware that you are not alone and you definitely have a place in our prayers.

So just to let off some steam. Let me just say:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!


Anyway, while we wait. Please share what you are doing to keep yourself sane. Might help us get some ideas.

Hi Faith & Andz, 1 month does sound lovely. I'll be at the Malaysia US Embassy, so from what I've read it is issued after 1 working day. I hope that one goes well. I really do hope she gets to be with you by January. I am probably looking at February for mine to complete, but would be flying off April the latest. Did you get to try those Cebu dried mangoes? Those are heavenly like lips.

I wished postmen worked through weekends. And so do USCIS staff.

It seems rather inefficient that this important method of communication be stumped by weekends. It reminds me about ordering stuff on Amazon - never later in the week or else I'd have to wait an additional two days. Over the weekend, I was catching up on the Hannibal Lector movies and oddly the character played by Anthony Hopkins said 'Good things come to those who wait'.

hi, its megan finally! thought i'd make a post! he's already updated you on the baby stuff, next appointment is the 30th. the whole being apart thing is really hard on us both, as everyone else i'm sure. it's just missing out on being together and him not being able to be at the doctors with me which sucks for both of us. our first little one is going to be a christmas baby of course (december 20th) is the due date.

kim i want to thank you for what you did for us! i'm sure it will come into some great use here shortly! should be able to hear the heartbeat next appointment and we'll have a nice video to put somewhere! so thank you again!!!
