Yes, some VSC filers might receive their NOA2 in a month, but I doubt that will be the case for CSC. Hopefully though they will start going fast again (like they did 2 weeks ago) and we won't have to wait 6 months either.


i am certainly hoping for the same.

I'm waiting too.
I took a break after the first set of paperwork. Last week, I started looking at the documents we'll have to file next (DS-156, I-134, ..) but without doing anything. I just looked at them to see if there were things I didn't understand. Then I'll think of all the evidences/documents I will need at the interview. And then, a little later, I'll tell my US fiance everything he has to file, to get notarized and to gather. But that's going to wait several weeks/months. It's not as if our petition was going to be approved next month tongue.gif


We're already seeing december approvals, it is not impossible for January filers to start getting approval before March ends, i am even very positive that there will be January approval by March... at least for those who filed at VSC.

For those who filed at CSC, we will be praying that CSC will soon catch up. At least they are already working on some october filers.

At any rate, I wish for us all to have speedy journey.

We got "touched" on Sunday, 2/17! I saw many people from December saying they got touched on the 17th. I hope that means something good!!

Just was linked to a great post...by a poster named HUSKERKIEV...it's called "1st post former NSC adjudicator now petitioner"...it certainly explains a lot of the murkiness of this process...

On another note...do you think some (certainly not all or most) of the more established members on the site belittle our uneasiness and confusion? I sometimes don't post because I don't want to be "zinged"

I simply had a question about being or not being touched and I got this response: "Yes, you should be worried that you do not have enough patience to survive this process."

Maybe it was said in a joking manner, but I was just asking people who obviously had more experience than me if the touching or lack of touching was something to worry about...I will be much quieter on that thread in the future...guess I should stick with you guys, since you are my "own kind." good.gif

Thanks for listening to me rant...


I could understand how your feeling <BIG HUG>.

BTW, have you checked the UNITED KINGDOM thread? its on one of the regional forums here on VJ... since your fiance is from UK, you'll surely find helpful infos there, especially on issues specific to embassy in UK.

And our January thread members will always be here to give comfort and encouragement to each other. We're all in the same boat, so we might as well sing the same song. good.gif good.gif good.gif

I hope so...not checking the USCIS site multiple times a day, just once...but no touches since 2/5...wonder what that means...


don't worry, there are a lot of cases here which were never touched till the day they were approved. good.gif

the irony of this is, you guys who don't get touches worry why you don't get touched, while us who have been getting touches are also worrying that they might be finding something wrong with out papers that is why it is generating so much attention whistling.gif .. that's the beauty of life.

Anyweiz, now that we've seen the first december filer get approved, lets have faith that we will be seeing January approvals before March ends. good.gif good.gif good.gif

The timelines here (for processing anyway) are so skewed beause of the influx of petitions last year. That slowed things down considerably for a few months.

Historically VSC has always been pretty quick and consistent in the amount of time it takes them and it seems to be that way regardless of the time of year. I'm hoping that they are now back to their 'old self' and that we're in for a speedy ride! wink.gif


What was the fastest this year (not including cuban expedites)? I think it was 17 or 18 days... Maybe you'll beat it KIM, i'd be happiest if you do! kicking.gif

Good luck to all of you who have filed already and those who are still going to file this April. I wish you all an RFE free and really quick approval. And I hope and pray that none of your relationship will suffer because of this roller coaster process, instead may this strengthen the bond that you share with your SO.

I'm holding you all in my thoughts and prayers! rose.gif rose.gif rose.gif



p.s.: I hope someone could also start with "april csc filer's thread" or just "april filers thread". it is really nice to be in touch with people who may have filed in a different center but have filed in the same month. The january vsc filers thread will never be as wonderful as it is if not for the lively contributions of our january csc filer family (their part can never be discounted) and also all our friends who filed on different months who have showered us with support and encouragements. i hope all of you april filers will be able to experience the same bond we share with both the VSC & CSC january filers.

But I wish you a wonderful summer and good luck! star_smile.gif


Very very true, you would never know what can happen. When we filed january we were expecting approval june or july but come mid february and some of the january filers were already receiving their NOA2, then march came and some february filers were receiving their noa2 in as little as 18days from filing. We were not approved the fastest but I still consider us lucky to get approval 49days after filing. VSC was zooming with approvals that time... then came the slow down sad.gif .. but I know this is just temporary and VSC will start kicking back in.

Here's hoping for a speedy and RFE free visa journey for all of you. good.gif good.gif good.gif

Hi All

Ok now im back and focused on this stuff, are we gonna stay on this thread as we go for AOS, EAD and AP or will we have a new thread.


I was wondering the same thing. Even though Liam isn't going to be here for a few months I want to get this AOS/EAD/AP stuff ready to go. All I have to say - thank God he'll be living in the same house this immigration round! smile.gif


We will be having different AOS & EAD filling date, some of us won't be starting it till after a few more months but aren't we supposed to be sharing one thread again in the "Moving Here & Your New Life in America" forum?

It will be nice to be able to keep each other posted on the ups and downs of married life and etc. yes.gif .. If somebody will start one, pls do reserve a seat for me. I won't be there till first week of September.

Liam: thanks for the info on medical. I hope there won't be more changes come october (we would be filling AOS by mid or late october)

I would just like to share one of the best thing that happened when I was in Manila (the capital city of the Philippines which is about 4hours-- by bus+plane-- from my place). I met up with some of other filipina vjers the night before my interview and we had a blast. We did the planning in the Philippine forum and it turned out fun. We did have a name tag with real name and vj screen name to be able to identify who is who. biggrin.gif We had dinner together and then lots of picture taking.

Some of those who join the meet up are still waiting for NOA2, a few had been interview already. Some are on K3, some on the CR1/IR1 visa.

I hope I would also be able to meet some of my january filers family in person someday soon. good.gif

here's some of our pics.

I am also interested in what others could share about jobs in the US.

I have worked in field sales most of my life and then went into retail business in the past few years. I still want to go into small business when I get to the US but as of now I still don't have any idea what business to start there yet... and of course start up capital will also be a factor coz our savings has been eaten by this immigration process already (the cost is times 3 for us).

As of now, I just want to find a job that will be able to let me work from home. Even simple data encoding will do as a start.

That sounds like fun!

We made a "Visa Journey Book" for Marco when he went for his interview. It has all of our stuff, NOA1, NOA2, tons of pictures, some flight coupons from our trip to Paris, ticket stubs from all of our trips together, so perfectly organized.. They didn't even look at it at his interview... but I guess it's a good thing for us to "remember" our journey by....


We don't have packet 3 here, only packet 4 which means we don't mail anything to the embassy, instead we will bring all the needed documents and forms with us during the interview... so I have bought several bendable folders and will be putting all the docs in separate folders (one for affidavit of support and supporting docs, one for proof of relationship, one for all those DS forms, one for the photo's, one for proof of engagement, etc.).. it will be like your visa journey book, only in chop chop form coz they say the window at the embassy is very small so we need to keep our docs very thin in order for it to pass through.

My laptop did that once when I logged in, and was like huh?? At the top of a thread you are in - there is an "Options" button - down at the bottom of the drop-down - it shows 3 options - choose standard. Unless of course you like the clumped up version wink.gif

Been reading the boards for a while, finally thought I'd register. Lea and I filed late December, CSC received application 12/31 and NOA1 1/3. I guess that makes me a January filer.

Big hopes for May good.gif

Very simple and small..but I like it!

Since my dress has pink accents, all the roses on the cake will be in pink only...
Is this picture working?
