Same here sad.gif

But if it goes by 3 weeks since RFE reply like in amberdima's case, we still got almost a week to go.

But since my baby's coming over on Friday, the excitement of seeing him again has taken over all other worries and anxieties. Can't wait kicking.gif


Woo hooo! Has it been a long time since you saw him last? Im going to see Charles in 3 weeks so im super excited too.

none for me, Charles sent the RFE in by express mail on Sat. morning. They quoted him 2-3 days for delivery... Im thinking maybe tmrw or Friday processing will resume until then.... whistling.gif
Anyone else?

We got touched a day after they put the case on hold. RFE issued on the 2 Feb, touched both on the 2nd and 3rd and then 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th. sad.gif Nothing since....

Well, if it doesn't happen this month, it'll happen next month. No wedding in April for me though cray5ol.gif

Well im kinda relieved to see you were touched the day after the RFE was issued too...
/ hug o well maybe a late spring/early summer wedding? ( not sure how long your consulate takes to schedule an interview)
we are shooting for maybe a september wedding ( montreal takes forever for interviews)

pls update your timeline and include your RFE mannequinn so the rest of us with RFE's can see how long yours took. Funny I checked today and I had a touch on the 17th as well... find this very very odd thought because the RFE was mailed on the 13th and processing had been put on hold, touched on the 17th and the RFE didnt arrive in Charleston until the 21st... So i guess processing want really put on hold unless the touch means maybe it was just scanned because it was moved... anyways... its got me thinking. I hope and pray that this week will be a good week for us sept fillers. Expecting my RFE back in VT by mid week...

OK VSC, you had a long weekend and now it's time to get back to work and approve some September people. innocent.gif

May this be our week! yes.gif



YES!!!! good.gif


I do not want to sound like a #######, but... hehehe... looking at igors list, it appears that they are now processing october filers. Sooooo, the few remaining september filers, yea, prepare for a long wait. Seems like every month has a small group of petitioners who become overlooked for whatever reason as they roll on to the next month of cases.

I truly hope I am wrong, and that it is a freak coincidence that of the last 20 approvals:

10 were october NOA's
4 were september
4 were August
1 june
1 November

So, yea, as I said, I think they are moving onto october filers now. Not saying you won't get your NOA2... you will, eventually. Just be ready to go the full 6 months and beyond now.

Nick


Since igor's list isnt a fair representation of all the people who have filled for a K1 I wouldnt place too much weight on this, and yes we will all get our NOA2's eventually. Anywyas it looks like they have been very slow lately... and it still looks like the data is following a normal distribution.

Hi guys, I'm back on line again smile.gif.

AmberL, so sorry to hear about your RFE. It really sucks. First you wait "forever" for the paper copy to turn up and then when you send everything back and they "touch" you every day and still nothing... We only had to tick one little box and that was it...you'd think they could make a decision by now. It is so frustrating. headbonk.gif

And to think it's a national holiday in US on Monday and they won't be working AGAIN!!!! I was just wondering how many more days off will they have before we get our approvals wink.gif


What holiday is it?

Sorry to hear about your delay...at least you know it won't be too long now.....not sure about the security check being done so soon?? I thought cases were just boxed and stacked on shelves until an officer pulled them....then did the security check?? Who knows how they work.....well, it seems some of them do wink.gif


Yea who knows. I just hope it is something as little as needing a photocopy of something or forgot a box on the g325a or actual petition form instead of having to dig up more proof of the relationship cause I was racking my brain about what else to send that was more official then actual boarding passes and a dated souvenir photo taken by the south carolina aquarium etc... only cause I read that phone records and bank statements were more like secondary pieces of evidence because they could be easily doctored. I wish I could send in copies of my passport, but canadians dont need a passport to enter the us, which is kinda good and kinda bad i guess, im sure homeland security or the buffalo poe keeps track tho...Anyways I am not too upset about the RFE, actually im kinda glad that at least I know they havent forgotten about me. As for the large number of September RFEs i guess its not a bad thing, it just means they are being really thorough and trying to make sure every case is genuine.... i was trying to figure out when the rfe should arrive and remembered that unlike canada, the postal service works on saturday so that is one day closer... Im really curious tho what the RFE actually is about.... I wish they would say in the e-mail they sent.

eeeeek i got an RFE- request for more initial evidence, We havent recieved anything in the mail yet....
I am not sure what else I can send, I already sent in:
Original Boarding passes from 2 trips
2 colour photos of us together
And a letter explaining how we met.
Any ideas what else to send?


Doh, I just looked up what initial evidence means. For the longest time I was worried because I could not remember if we sent in a copy of Charles's birth certificate, this must be it. Keeping my fingers crossed that this is all it is and it doesnt take a lot more time to be approved. im thinking they prolly went and did all the security checks right away in september when we had our first touch, and the BC is just to prove that he is a US citizen right?

ooo and wanna hear something that will make you all LOL?
I am a part time student and I also work in a diner, and yesterday I was talking to a somewhat regular customer who tried to tell me it takes 2 days to get a visa to the US, it just depends on where you live. I tried not to laugh in her face, it was pretty hard.

I have my ups and downs.....up until new year I wasn't stressed at all, i knew I wouldn't hear anything before mid January......then the waiting suddenly became unbearable...last week I was a total nutter, checking every 5 minutes...I was totally impatient and like a bear with a sore bum. I'm a bit better this week....I just hope i'm not like a few July and Aug filers that seem to have been over looked by USCIS. Now, who knows how i'll be next week girlwerewolf2xn.gif (i've been waiting for an excuse to use that one!)


I think that we all are wishing that we are not forgotten by USCIS. And that smilley is hilarious. Laura and Tom missed my point entirely. I think I have been having an ok week, im not stressing out too much... but maybe Im a bit crankier than I thought, anyways my point was that we are seeing people get approved after us and these people who filled after us are all stressing out because they have been waiting X days which is less then many other people have been waiting, and this all seems very selfish to me, I saw a post a long time ago where someone suggested that instead of praying for a quick approval you should pray for the patience to get thru everything. I thought that was complete bs when I first read it but I gave it a try and it is a lot easier on your emotions to try and support everyone else then worry about when you will be approved. Gogogogogogo Sept fillers!

They approved someone who filed in JULY yesterday....fair enough they had to wait until mid August for their NOA1 but they've still been waiting since July...there is no rhyme or reason to how they select the petitions......you can't approve Oct/Nov people and then, 'oh look, heres one from July I just found on my desk', it can't be right!! Please Vermont, just approve me or touch me, anything as long as I know i've not been forgotten!! tongue.gif


I totally agree. They should not be working on any Oct/Nov petitions while there are still many outstanding petitions from July/Aug. As a Sept filler id rather wait an extra couple of weeks for all the people who filed before me to be approved rather then see the October fillers being approved. I dont want to sound selfish either because oct 1 is close to my filling date and I am happy for these people but it just makes me very disapointed in the system.

I hope in the future they improve their system somehow so future applicants have a better idea of what is going on with our cases. I wouldnt wish this on anyone. I know they have a lot of cases come in each day but for the fees we all paid this service sucks. Ugh. Just getting so annoyed. Its been almost 5 months since we applied already.
