USCIS Service Centershow many march 2013 filers who got approved this days?

Yes you are right, CSC is slowing down comparing to April and May, even the first few days of June was a bit faster. Roguhly abut 35 of March 2013 CSC filers form this group approved including the expediates.

 

5   In MAy

10 First half of June

19 Second half of June 

1  in July

 

It looks like most of the March 1-7 were getting their NOA2 in last two weeks of June. Hope this answer your question. (BZW this data is  just by little reseach from timelines of this group)

thank you for your info.:)

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)visa status administrative processing

you are fine. Just hang on and have the patience with you smile.png

 

Thank you!:)


 

They didn't ask your documents because your papers are sufficient to full fill the process. If they need any more documents or you've missed some papers sure they will contact you for the papers which they need. so you don't worry about the status.. u'll get the visa..

 

Thank you.:)

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)visa status administrative processing

Were you approved on September 10? 

 

the confirmation window told us that we are approved thats was sep 10, the consular didnt ask any other documents for us. 


DahlenFemalePhilippines2013-09-17 06:34:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)visa status administrative processing

Administrative processing basically means they are currently doing background checks.

It is not necessarily a bad sign but the problem is we never know how long it can last. It could last one hour, 3 weeks or even 3 months!

 

When was your interview? 

 

i was interviewed sep 10, 2013. i hope it wont long.. thank you for the reply.;)


DahlenFemalePhilippines2013-09-17 06:08:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)visa status administrative processing

National Visa Center (Dept of State)is this true that the case # is more than 10 to 15 days?

Got ours in 25 days called NVC as early as 7:30am Eastern time..... it feels like forever when waiting....... never expect through mail or email.

 

While waiting try getting the paper works done here in the Phils. (NBI/Police clearance, NSO Cenomar {got 2 copies}, NSO Birth Cert {more copies pls}.

 

Cheers,

 

 

i only have 1 copy of nso cenomar.. is that okay? 


Yea they told us 2 months too but looks like the general consensus is one month! Which is definitely better than a 5.5 month wait for NOA2 lol

 

 

i hope not that long, its so hard to wait, but i have no choice just to wait..:(

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionHeLP!!

You just keep on checking the status for one or two days. if you find the same status then just try to consulate and confirm about the status. So that you came to the exact status, don't be confused of some wrong updates.

 

thank you, i was just worried..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsGood News Out of the CSC! NOA2 (3.5 Months...what???)

I'm delighted and a little bit shocked to say that yesterday 7/12/13 Maria and I received our NOA2 from the California Service Center!   Our first NOA was 03/28/13.  that means that we only waited a total of 115 Days.   I don't know what's going on in California, but we both feel extremely blessed for this expediency.  Now on to the next round and preparations for our interview in the Moscow Embassy.

 

I hope for the rest of you who are waiting, this fast time is a sign of new speed on behalf of the CSC.   I know we aren't done yet, but I haven't stopped smiling since yesterday afternoon.  

 

Best Wishes to all of you!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportswhat is I-797?? need help..

It means it will be forwarded to the NVC.  whether it actually has been shipped or not yet is a question you likely cant have answered.  I got the letter and then 2 weeks later got an update from USCIS on my case that it had been shipped.  I am still waiting for NVC number over 3 weeks now.

I was transffered from VSC to TSC though and it seems people like myself face a longer wait for some reason.  others approved at VSC and CSC after I was have already been given their consulate numbers from the NVC.

 

It will be soon for you most likely. keep your head up =)

 

thank you, i hope and pray.. :)
