I saw a pretty hopefull post on the April filers thread, the guy said if his research was correct than something like 101 of 139 April VJ filers have been approved. So that really means May filers are proably being processed NOW.

http://www.visajourn...h...t&p=1106499



How awesome would that be? OK everyone make sure that once you get your NOA2s you post on here so we can all whoop it up with you! :dance:

lol @ songs about being touched. And I thought checking the USCIS site every few hours was bad. And knowing I have it set up for e mails. I think the songs about being touched has overpassed it. lol! Sorry Annette heeheehee

Hahahaha!

This may sound bad but I WANNA BE TOUCHED! Hahahaha!


Hahahahaha! Me too! Late last night I was sitting around, bored, sad, and depressed wishing we would get a touch then after awhile I started writing down songs that had to do with "touching" or "
being touched". To pass the time... *blush* I was bored and sad, ok! *more blushing*

What did I come up with?

Let's see, I am an 80's gal so pardon the oldies.

Like a Virgin - TOUCHED for the very first time, (Madonna) hahahahaha
Touch Me - Samantha Fox (hahahahaha)

never mind...hahahaha

I could go on but I won't becuz I am thoroughly embarassed now. :blush:

Thanks for letting us know that. It wil keep me from being horribly depressed that I haven't received a touch since May 22.

Oh and by the way, just curious? how close was the VJ adjucated estimate date compared to what was the final outcome?

I am really so happy for you!

Annette



The notice is dated for the 26th. VJs timeline estimate from stats predicted the 25th up until the 26th then changed to the 28th. So at least for our case it statistically had an accuracy of + or - 2 days.

He'll be here the whole month of September. We can hardly wait. What a nice gift to get our NOA2 while he is here. I'm going to send him back to Russia with all of the I-134 information for his interview. All I can say is......keep the faith and hang in there!



Wow that sounds fantastic! How wonderful will that be when you get your NOA2 and he's there with you! So cool!

i called uscis a while ago (as the beneficiary and they allowed me..hehe!). i talked to a representative and he said that once uscis issues a letter like the receipt notice, they will not issue another one.

so, for those expecting a NOA1 from CSC and other service centers like, I guess, we should not wait anymore coz the representative said that NOA1 is not important or necessary for your future application/s.

but still.. i dont have a peace of mind.. huhuhuhu!!

i hope this will not happen for our NOA2!!!! grrrrrrr........


As I understand it, the NOA2 is more important. Still I understand how you feel. By some great miracle I actually received a hard copy NOA1 which for some reason made it all feel more real as I had actual evidence I could see and touch. Call me old fashioned but I like paper receipts.

I don't kown about those reps. over there. They all seem to give conflicting advice. I've heard that they were reissuing NOA1s and then i heard they weren't it goes on and on. Hopefully they won't mess up with the NOA2s. That would be truly awful.

Keep the faith! :thumbs: It's Tuesday hopefully we will start getting fantastic news very soon!

I assumed that it was the date the NOA1 was generated which makes me a May filer although the petition was received by NSC in April.

Hmm, that's a toughy. I'd really put you in either group. You can be an April filer and be disappointed that everyone else is getting their stuff done ahead of you, or be in the May group and be ahead of the pack! Haha.

That's kind of unusual, just from the other signatures I've seen, that they had such a gap from when they received your package to when they mailed the NOA1. Are you saying "received" as in, the post office verified delivery on whatever date? Or received as in USCIS "officially" recieved your package, checked it in, assigned number?

I just ask because everything happened on the same date for me. I mailed my package mid-April, and it was checked in, assigned my number, and NOA1 sent all on May 1st. I didn't send it certified, so I don't know what date it was received in their mailroom, per se.

The date the NOA1 is generated is the date I was trying to say, thanks! I assume the date it's generated is the date it would be dated, and that's what I was told to go by.

Michele

(PS - I see you're going to Detroit in 38 days. What date is that? Adam is coming to Detroit as well, August 23rd, which I think we figured out would be right around 39-37 days, I just don't remember now. Maybe you'll be on the same plane!)


The post office verified delivery to NSC in April but it took a month before it was received at CSC. I am going out to Detroit on August 24th on NorthWest airlines. They were pretty cheap when you book via Expedia.co.uk and they fly direct.


Same thing happened with us. I mailed our I-129F packet to NSC in April where it was received (I got a return receipt request from the post office) but for some reason it took a month for CSC to receive it once it was forwarded there. I got my NOA1 notice from CSC on May 18, a month later.

I don't know if I am a April filer or a May filer so I just sort of go between the two threads and 'woo-hoo' for those who get approved and hope for the best. And yeah, we are at 90 days.

The way thngs are now doesn't seem to make much difference where we land as for NSC it's an August 27th adjuncted date and CSC, at last check was August 22. *sigh* Guess we are the in between-ers, RoseMarie.

California Service Center Now Issuing Delayed Form I-797 Approval Notices
USCIS is pleased to announce that it has resolved the systems problems creating delays in Form I-797 notice issuance from the California Service Center (CSC) that had been previously announced to the public. CSC is in the process of generating and mailing the delayed approval notices and affected customers should expect delivery by July 20, 2007. We appreciate the patience our customers have shown during this effort.
Affected customers who have not received a notice by the July 20, 2007 date (for example, if you have checked the online system and it indicates that your case was approved and you have not received an approval notice), may submit an inquiry for review to the e-mail box. Please include your receipt number and/or your A number with your inquiry. The CSC e-mail address for inquiries is: CSC.NoNotice@DHS.Gov

Welcome to all the new people in our May club! My internet has spotty and I haven't been able to get on much.

Like I said before I had called June 15 re: not getting the paper NOA1. They said they'd generate it. Still haven't gotten it. I'm thinking of calling again, maybe around July 15th. Adam is (hopefully) coming to visit around mid-August, and I'd like him to have a copy of that with him.

I can't believe it's already been two months since they officially received my package. It's funny, I had ALMOST forgotten about that situation (and by that I mean, I had stopped incessently checking my case update info...hee hee) and when I realized it was coming up on two months, I have to say, it did go by kind of fast.

One more month! Well, best case scenerio, of course!

We're doing it!!!! Yay! I can't wait to start seeing NOA2 congrats in this thread!Michele


I keep looking for that too, I hope we can see some May action soon! Good luck to us all! :thumbs:

Whats up May Filers!!!

This is the first post since I have filed my I-129F on May 22, my check was CASHED on June 01 and I too have NOT received my NOA1. I got the WAC# off the back of my check and am tracking my case that way.

I have signed up for e-mail notifications and to-date my case hasn't been touched! Which isn't surprising! It seems like we should receive our NOA2's by end of Aug considering you have no RFE's based on others and how things are going!

My Fiancee, she is in Pakistan so I hope that being from that area int he worl doesn't slow down my case too much!

Will update once I receieve a "Touch" or any other action to my case!

Best of luck to everbody!



Nice to have you on board! Hope your visa journey is a speedy one...

My situation is identical to your. I mailed overnight delivery on 4/23 and was told on 5/4 that my case was transferred to CSC with a receipt date of 5/1 but I have not received a NOA1 yet.. I'm not going to call anymore about it as I think the NOA2 is much more significant and as long as I know they received it, I'm fine.

Before i found vj i was really stressing, now i understand that the NOA2 is what we will use to file my AOS. And it's almost 60 days since we filed, so we should receive our NOA2 by the first week of August.... Hope i'm right. good luck to alll May filers .

Hey guys,

I was just wondering exactly when is our "time to bat"? I noticed that the processing time has increased 14 days from what it was when I sent in my petition. I'm wondering if I go by that number, or do I stick with the processing time from when I received my NOA? :unsure:

Thanks alot everyone


Our time to bat, so to speak, is really an estimate. I believe there are a bunch of April VSC filers ahead of us, so when they go through, we should be coming up afterwards. I don't know if anyone can give a proper estimate, but we are all hoping it is sooner then later.


yeah, it is just an estimate but heck it's all we got now, so I cling to that hope. Good luck to all! :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsATTENTION : MAY FILERS ... lets keep in touch!

I think the VSC is still busy processing the H1B receipt backlog. Fiance(e) applications are lower priority then other petitions, so when they are busy catching up with other things, that means less people working on fiance(e) visas.

Based on VisaJourney's estimate, nothing will happen in June for my petition, so I'm just lying low and trying to not think about it.


Yeah, I thought about your post and decided that I am gonna to try and lie low as you are. You're right there isn't a whole lot we can do about it now so might as well not let it get to us until it really IS our turn up to bat.

All the best!

That's how i'm trying to see it too...VSC is taking quite a while compared to some i've seen.
i think the reason i'm slightly annoyed is that i am also going to see my love in August.
i put my passport application for this in the beginning of APRIL. and still don't have it. as passport service is backlogged due to american travel this summer. that would be okay too except that i i'm not coming up on the status-check online at all either.
so now i'm waiting for a passport to see him, and his parents are having an engagement party for us and all so i want to make it over so badly..
AND waiting on the NOA2 at the same time.
booo :)


So much on your plate now, I wish you all the best! I hope you get your passport soon. I saw a story on the backlog for passports on the news the other day, that said they were totally unprepared and swamped. I hope you get yours soon. Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

After reading your post I thought about it some, and decided to lie low and will try not to stress out so much about NOA2s or RFEs as it's not even the May Filers time to be 'up to bat yet'. *sigh* all we can do is wait I suppose, it's all out of our hands now...

Take care and keep us posted! :thumbs:

Has your check been cashed yet? If it has, you can get the case number from the back of it and check your case status online.


Not completely sure but I think Texas is now forwarding to CSC too, but don't quote me on that... but if this is the case then it would expalin the delay in receiving your NOA1. The same thing happened to me, I filed in Nebraska and then was forwarded to CSC. Keep us posted!

Think you should contact your bank to see if they cashed your check, (do you have online banking?) if they have cashed your check, your case number will be printed on the back. Keep us posted and let us know how it goes.

Annette

Brownskin2

Haha, I have no doubt that's exactly what the storage is like!

Yeah, I think Nebraska is sending everything to California (so actually, should I change my timeline info from Nebraska to Cali? Hmmm...)

Well, let's see, they cashed my check...23 or 24 days after I mailed the package, so I would think about calling USCIS soon if they still haven't cashed the check around that time frame. I ended up calling them yesterday because it was two days shy of a month from me sending it, and no word, and they were very helpful. They did ask if my check had been cashed (which it had at that point but did not have the WAC# like it seems it should have). They asked for my name, date of birth, type of petition, when mailed and where, blah blah, questions you should be able to answer easily, and were able to give me my receipt number over the phone. From there, I registered for case status updates, that's how I could tell my case was received May 1st. The person I spoke with told me that as well. My NOA1 was supposedly mailed May 1st as well, but I have yet to receive it.

I don't think there's any harm in calling. You know your package was received, I hear they assign your number, cash your check, and send your NOA1 pretty much immediately upon arrival. I myself work for the government, (enforcing domestic court orders - i.e. divorce files, we have 50,000 open files right now) so I can definitely say it's not unheard of for things to be received and then never be seen again. Sometimes things get accidently put in someone else's file or accidently marked as resolved even though it wasn't, etc. Human errors happen. Hopefully it's not the case for you, but I say better safe than sorry.

Keep us informed of your progress!


Thanks Michele, think I wil give them a call to find out what's going on this week. Hopefully they will find mine buried someplace. Best of luck to you...

Well, it's officially been one month since USCIS says they mailed my paper NOA1 (I-797) and still haven't gotten it in the mail.

I called, and was told now we have to give it 45 days from when they say they mailed something till you should call if you haven't gotten it yet. Uh huh. So, I will be back on the phone June 14th if I still haven't gotten it.

I also asked if she could check my address to be sure it's correct. She said she didn't have my personal case info in front her and when I asked who I could ask, she hmm'd and haw'd and I was like, 'that's fine, I'll delve deeper into that when I call after the 45 days if I didn't get the NOA1 yet". She sounded relieved.

Sounds like the customer service people only have the info that's available to you online in front of them.

So, just a heads up, 45 days for paperwork to possibly arrive. They should probably change their website which SPECIFICALLY says call after 30 days if you haven't gotten something they said they sent...

How really irritating, you know, if she really doesn't know then she should just say so and not try to 'sound like she can help' when she can't. It makes things much easier for everyone that way.

Hopefully your NOA1 will be arriving soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys. Hang in there! We will get through this!

Happy Firday everyone!

I mailed off my K-1 May 3 and was told to wait another 2 weeks. They have no record of it. :unsure:


Hi- if you sent it to Nebraska then it's on it's way or is already at the California Service center. That's what happened to me. I am pretty sure yours is there too. If you can keep an eye on your bank statements online to see when they cash your check that is helpful. Also, if there is someone on here who sent their K1 stuff around the same time you did, it gives you some small idea of where and when yours might begin processing too. I am sure it's fine! Best of luck to you, and keep us posted!

Well I guess I am in the May filer list. lol! Well the lawyer sent out the paperwork to Texas about a week ago? So I am assuming they have received it. But apparently Texas cases are sent to California. blah! Well hopefully I see some progress soon. My kids and I are looking forward to him being here by Christmas. *crosses fingers* They miss him badly and of course I do too. We shall see how it goes.


I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully you wil see him a whole lot sooner than that and everythng will get processed in super speed. :thumbs:

Take care.
