I'll for sure be in Washington D.C. some time and pay you a visit.

I cannot tell how horrible I feel right now. I mean sure I know some people just take that long. If average processing time is 142 and a lot of people get approved before that it also means that there are a lot that have to be approved after that average period. What freaks me out though is not the waiting but the not-knowing. And even if we should hit 180 days USCIS will just put us of and of and of (another 30 days, another 45 days for service request reply etc.) Let's hope it won't come to that. But right now my mind is only on NOA 2 and what we could have done wrong and how we could solve the problem. I cannot even eat anymore. Dan and I worry a lot because it puts our lives on hold pretty much.


Panterchen--I know how you feel! It was the not-knowing that really made things terrible for me....I really thought that you would have been approved around the same time as me--I think you are SO CLOSE! It's so weird, I was looking at the timelines and mine is the last one in June that has been approved from VSC.
Now they are onto July and August???????? What is going on!! headbonk.gif headbonk.gif

Good luck everyone!!! Your approvals are just around the corner!!!!!!!!!! star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif

Actually, nevermind, I looked it up elsewhere on VJ and found this thread: http://www.visajourn...h...115441&st=0

I tracked my case using a variety of dates. EXP 19 NOV 2008A didn't work so I tried 18 and there was nothing to Kenya. But the reference # EXP 17 NOV 2008A turned up one package going to Nairobi! I'm betting this is ours, as not many people are going through Nairobi. DHL says it is now in London! Oh I am so excited--as soon as the consulate receives it, I can call and make the medical exam appt and also make the interview appointment! Yay!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

Hi everyone! I hope those waiting receive their NOA2's soon!!!!! good.gif
Just wanted to let you know I called NVC today and our petition just left for the consulate, so I am really excited! Did I read somewhere that there is a way to track your petition through DHL to the consulate?

Good Luck everyone! Don't give up hope!!!!!!!! good.gif good.gif good.gif

Ok, so NVC apparently isn't any better than USCIS. We gave them our case number and then the guy asks us if it was approved; and we said "not sure we want to verify since the computer system is down" and then he just answered that they will not get the case until we have an approval and refused to check if they even got it. He had an attitude like sh**. Rude people. Guess we just have to wait.


Really? I can't believe that! They were so nice to me-they just asked my what my receipt number was and that was it....I'm so sorry...could you try again and just lie and say you believe you are approved and you'd like to know if it's been received at NVC yet? Nothing wrong with a little "white lie" right? devil.gif Anyway you'll never talk to the same person twice! whistling.gif

Wow, I can finally write this message I have been longing to write for so long!!!! I took Mike and Gracey's advice and called USCIS. The first worker refused to "escalate my call" saying there was no supervisor available, and that she had all the info to help me. She actually got an attitude about it--I hung up on her I was so frustrated! Called back and the next worker was so nice-- I calmly explained my situation and asked to speak to a supervisor just to be sure about my case. She agreed to escalate my call and the nice supervisor told me what I wanted to here:

APPROVED November 12th!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!! Thank you everyone for all of your support and advice--I really would have gone crazy without you! Now I hope that the second stage will go more smoothly....but I'm not holding my breath! whistling.gif Just SO GLAD to have some inkling that this will all be over soon. star_smile.gif

Hey everyone. I decided to try and sleep in late this morning and no luck. I tried not to think about this waiting game. I decided to call my significant other. He is way more patient than I am and always says don't worry we will get the approval soon. I decided to take a quick road trip after checking USCIS website this morning and found nothing has changed. I didn't even wait for the mail to come.

But then.........................................I just got home @ 11:00 pm and checked my mail. Whooooooooooooooohooooooooooo!

WE GOT OUR APPROVAL! NO touches online. Website still reflects a last touch of 07/10/08. I keep trying to call that lazy boy but he won't wake up. I kept him on the phone so late whoops.

I'm off to update my timeline! Thank VJ for this wonderful site. I was beginning to think I screwed up the paperwork!



YAY! Congratulations mbbs! Your timeline is exactly like mine so I am really excited! Mike--thanks for the info about phoning! I am going to try it ASAP tomorrow. I am so hopeful now!!!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

Just back from a three day trip to NYC....and still no touches (although I've given up on that) or anything in the mail. Well, right now VSC seems like a joke...computers are screwed, documents going missing in the mail, mystery attorneys assigned to cases...I almost feel sorry for them! whistling.gif
Does anyone know if the USCIS automated phone system is accurate? I've been calling them for updates and..nothing. But if the phone system is connected to the web system, then.... headbonk.gif

Let's hope they get their act together next week!!! Have a great weekend everyone! good.gif

I guess we have to rely on the post man from now on... Maybe that will relief me of franatically checking their homepage 10 times a day. tongue.gif

Hello guys!!

I just want to share the news with you guys that I just got APPROVED. I received an approval letter in the mail today after I got home from from work. I didn't expect to receive this letter because my status is never been touch or update since July 10, 2008. For those who are still waiting don't just focus on the uscis website but pay attention to your mailbox. I am so happy. kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

Oh that is good news!!! You and I got touched at the same time, so this brings me a lot of hope! By the way, have you called USCIS? I am just wondering if they do a better job updating their automated messages than they do their e-mail system. I have called USCIS and they still say it is pending...

Dont know about Canda but the Manila Embassy Philippines no longer mails out packets you have to download them off the website and turn them in during your interview, PI only does what was called packet 4, no packet three. I have already downloaded all the forms listed on the site and sent them Fedex to Radz. She was going to pay Delbros today for Packet verification and once the froms get there she has to go to Davao with DS 157 pay the Embassy Fee and get the back of the form validated to show its been paid at the embassy. Hopefully we will have that all done by next week and then we just have to get a interview date. Hopefully we can get that done in the next couple of weeks and with any luck maybe get an interview in Dec. Well thats the hope but wouldnt be suprised if interview is in Jan. Well Good Luck everyone and hope to see some more approvals soon.


It's amazing that it is different in other countries, uk is packet 3 then 4, I am starting to get my stuff ready for packet 3 but wont send it back till jan when I get back from the states from visiting my boy in Texas for the holidays


And then there is the Nairobi Embassy, which supposedly mails out one packet (with all the forms)--but I have heard that it always arrives really really, late--if ever--and it is better just to go to the Embassy and pick it up yourself! That is what we will do--since my fiance lives in Uganda, we'll try to make the Medical Exam, and interview all around each other so we only have to go to Kenya once. Crossing my fingers!

I haven't gotten even a touch yet, so I am probably over-thinking myself smile.gif Just want to be prepared so we can whiz through after USCIS... whistling.gif

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally you were approved!!!!! i am sooo happy for you!!!!!... I am here in New York with my baby, trying to organize our lives together LOL....I renewed my license which is great since mine expired one year ago so I can drive now. I am very happy to be with my baby,it's priceless.
Dont worry about the USCIS page, dont even pay attention to it. According to the website, my case is still pending and I am already in New York!!!


Thanks honey
Gald you are so happy and you can drive, lucky you being in NY, they just changed the laws in Texas and I cant get a Texas license or a ID card till I complete AOS, bit of a worry.
I am not bothered by the page but just wanted to let everyone else know who has been touched in the last week that it might actually be there approval


Can't you drive on your international driver's license for one year after you arrive in the States? That is what I have been reading, but perhaps it varies from state to state. I know that it is possible to get an International Drivers License to supplement your foreign one...

Anyway....Another week is about to start!! Let the approvals begin!!!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

Wikipedia states:

"The stated priorities of the USCIS are to promote national security, to eliminate immigration case backlogs, and to improve customer services."


"Unlike most other federal agencies, USCIS is funded almost entirely by user fees. [3] Under the President's FY2008 budget request, direct congressional appropriations will make about 1% of the USCIS budget and about 99% of the budget will be funded through fees. The total USCIS FY2008 budget is projected to be $2.6 billion."

Now I don't hold an MBA from an ivy league school and I don't claim to be well versed in mircoeconomics, but I am not entirely ignorant either.
Supply and demand is perhaps one of the most fundamental concepts of economics. Certain visa programs are available for "premium processing" offering expedited visa approvals for a premium fee thus offsetting the ridiculous unnecessary waiting times that family based visa applicants are forced to endure.

So basically if you are the CEO of Northrup Grumman and your company sponsors 100's or 1000's of H1-B's annually for military purposes and you hold hundreds of millions of dollars in USCIS contracts, not to mention the blanket purchases you have made within the agency of course your lobbyist can get what he wants!

This is just one example of the corporatocracy that controls your government. There is no way that the average family based visa applicant is any more of a threat than the seasonal immigrant worker! We know from a former adjudicator that it only takes 20 mins to approve a petition and an FBI check takes even less time than that.

You politicians preach family values, but at the end of the day we know why employer based visas are a high priority for you. So as you lay in your lofty suburban homes with your family there at your side I hope that our karma will soon bite you in the...

It's 4:30AM and I have a message for you

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul



them's fightin' words!!! devil.gif

Definitely food for thought--I never considered the *real* reason for premium processing. Too bad, I don't think any of the USCIS workers bother to read this site... whistling.gif

And individual VJ users will never start their own lobby group because they'll (we'll) lose our steam after we get our visa and are again reunited with our loved ones. USCIS has us right where they want us ph34r.gif

I mean this Isn't like shopping for a pair of shoes or something! We are away from our families and most us us have been away for a long time. Anyone who advocates being patient and acts care free is suspect to me...or just plain weird!


Thank you!

It is so difficult to make plans together for our future when we have no idea when that will start... it is hard when everyone asks, "So when is the Big Day?" And you have to explain that you have no idea and you have to try to explain the visa process and how it could take 2 more months or it could take 6--you just never know! The only positive thing out of this is the love my fiance and I have is holding us together--actually my fiance is holding ME together!

oh so right, i got tired of answering that question too, and its really hard to be patient especially for someone like me who hates waiting, i did cry a lot whenever i get frustrated and hopeless about the NOA2, i bet im gonna cry again in a couple of hours because that damn appointment letter has not come yet,

nobody here can tell you what to do to make you feel at least okay,

cheer up, you're not alone smile.gif


and of course, mad.gif mad.gif for good luck smile.gif


Hey Uday, I just looked at your blog on multiply and found your writing to be really moving. I also enjoyed looking at the pictures of both of you! You two seem like such a wonderful and loving couple--I wish you all the best! It is so hard during this time, but hopefully very soon it will all be just a bad dream star_smile.gif

I don't know about you guy's, but I get so tired of hearing peeps say "be patient"! No I will not be patient. I will be on edge and stressed out to the max until this approval is handed out! I mean this Isn't like shopping for a pair of shoes or something! We are away from our families and most us us have been away for a long time. Anyone who advocates being patient and acts care free is suspect to me...or just plain weird!


Thank you!

It is so difficult to make plans together for our future when we have no idea when that will start... it is hard when everyone asks, "So when is the Big Day?" And you have to explain that you have no idea and you have to try to explain the visa process and how it could take 2 more months or it could take 6--you just never know! The only positive thing out of this is the love my fiance and I have is holding us together--actually my fiance is holding ME together! He is the patient, calm one--thank goodness one of us is! blush.gif

Good luck everyone! Let's hope this is a good day!

I just saw that someone from Colombia with an NOA1 date of September 12th got approved! What is going on??! From deciphering the spanish in the post, it appears that they are also surprised and I don't believe an expedite was filed. I'm happy for them, but I also wish it were me or someone who filed before me! USCIS would process petitions in a more orderly fashion--waiting in line and knowing that if the person ahead of you gets approved than you're next is much less stressful than the apparent randomness that is USCIS wacko.gif wacko.gif wacko.gif
We should all be assigned numbers and workers should process our petitions in the order of the numbers! blink.gif blink.gif blink.gif

I'm not really angry, just confused. But here they are anyway!

Jippiehhhh! Just found out my fiancé is coming this thursday to stay with me for 3 weeks!! My family knew just no one told me about it...Now that I found out I am soooo excited.
Gotta get a haircut and some other beauty treatments to make sure he will see my at my best kicking.gif

I thought we wouldn't see each other before I can first enter the US on my K1. But now I am even spending halloween with him. Thank god, I am so happy. USCIS doesn't matter for the next 3 weeks... Maybe we will receive NOA 2 when he is here then. Would be the greatest gift ever. jest.gif jest.gif jest.gif jest.gif jest.gif jest.gif



Wow! What a wonderful surprise! I am so happy for you! Happy Halloween! halloween.gif
