WE GOT OUR NOA2! Last friday!

I was so upset today again, so I took your advice and called again, and the first guy I spoke to wouldnt transfer me to a TIER 2, until I cried and got upset and he did. Then I had a woman and she started to tell me I was still in the processing time frame, but then she said "Oh wait a second... wait... you were approved!" I said WHATTT??? She said you were approve dlast friday, the 4th! So then I spoke to her and another man and they said that the E-mail and USCIS online portfolio has had trouble updating lately. They then called CSC and CSC confirmed that my NOA2 hard copy had been mailed out.

YESSSS :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:


YAYYYYY!!! Congratulations you two! Fabulous news! x

Start by asking them to repeat their name employee number so you can write it down - I think it gets their attention. Be persistent ... you are outside of normal processing time and have the right to a service request.

Also, if you haven't already, contact your Congressional Representative and ask them to initialize a service request. I got an answer back from mine in 2 days.

Good luck, and I hope you'll have your answer soon!!!


Asking them to repeat their name and employee number is a good idea! I know when people call me at work and ask me to spell my name to them I'm like 'Uh oh', I better be nice to this person :rofl:

Congratulations to all the approvals today! WOOHOO! Such fantastic news for all of us.

My fiance called USCIS today and was told that he was sent an email on Feb 26th - which was a saturday? They refused to tell him what it was regarding. This is the best part - they misspelled his email address! WAHHH! Hopefully we'll have some news tomorrow.

Keep em coming CSC! X

Well, here I am at the 5 month mark. 152 days and still no approval from CSC. Monday I will be faxing my Senator and Representative requesting their assistance in moving things along. I hope that it will help.

John


I hear yah! My fiance will also be doing the same thing monday morning. I find it laughable that the senators website stresses that uscis are extremely "STRICT" on the order petitions are received! ha!

Good luck to you both and hopefully we'll both be receiving those elusive NOA2's this week!

My fiance cheekily called and requested an expedite since I start a job in May - they said we would hear back in 5 days, if not to call back.

Fiance will call back tomorrow. We will be at our 5 month mark in a couple of days and you can bet your #### we'll be calling/nagging/whining every day until we have our NOA2!

We are hoping to expedite the EAD also - I wonder if that will happen? ha!

I'm so sick of wishing everyone good luck because it seems to delay us even further - so ummm fingers crossed instead?

Happy hump day! x

Can I be the first to say a big fat wat the eff to these Jan/Feb approvals!? What the hell is going on at CSC? Last I checked october came before nov/dec/jan/feb. Saying that they have pulled them out for training exercises is no excuse to 'pull out' peitions filed a few weeks ago - there are mountains of boxes and people waiting that can be used for training purposes. What a load of BS!

My fiance called USCIS today and put in an expedite request - they seemed to entertain our request and said we'll be hearing back within 5 days. I don't care that we haven't reached the 5 months - neither did those that filed a month ago.

So over this ####### process. GRRRRR!!!!!

Having said that, I hope everyone has a lovely day today :) and someone checks a calendar at CSC and realises that October 2010 comes before Jan 2011.

Fellow octoberites! are you seeing this? CSC has approvals from 28th Sept! I guess not everyone is as excited as I was when I saw this lol - we were pushed all the way to page 4. haha

Some of us could potentially have NOA2 within the next week! :dance: :dance: :dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOctober 2010 CSC filers!

I'm quite confused. I was told you could not get your medical done before NOA2 because you HAVE to have your case number from NVC.


Hi Rachel-Marie,

I had been advised by a few Australian VJ members that we can get a jump on the medical. There are two doctors that will do medicals here in Sydney and the first told me I could not do it until I had my case number. I emailed the embassy and they told me that they highly recommend you wait until NOA2 - but didn't say you couldn't do it. I went ahead and called the second doctors office and they said it was fine - you do not need a case number. The results last for 12 months and are sent directly to me.

Every country is different though so check with some UK VJ'ers.

Hope this helps x

With a big THANKS to Curvebell, I did a bit of googling. :yes:

If anyone wants to get a jump on their medical, here is the link to the Service of Consular Affairs. Select your respective Embassy and it will give you a list of designated physicians, labs and x-ray clinics.

Hang in there everyone, it is almost our turn!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOctober 2010 CSC filers!

Just curious on your medical...is there a checklist or form that the MD needs to sign? If so, where did you find it!?!? Thanks!!


Hi Alex & Stacee,

The doctor provided all forms. He handed me a form that he, the nurse who took my blood and radiologist HAD to sign - I was instructed to take this to my interview.

He did have a checklist that asked basic medical questions/history. I'll see what's in the packet I receive from the doctor's office next week. I'm sure you can find that particular form online.

Hope this helps even a little bit :)

I'm hoping it's going to be 1 - 1.5 weeks! fingers crossed haha.

Also, I had my medical done today - doctor said you don't even need a case number. Got my Police Certificate too, now all I need is NOA2! ha!

Fingers and toes crossed for all of us!

Hello everyone. I am end of sept-oct. 1. I was wondering, roughly how long does it take csc to get to the next month? I know they're at the end of august now...


I think it's safe to assume that you will be waiting for the full 5 months and hopefully not longer than 6 months :blink:

We are at 3 & a half months almost. CSC looks to be processing applications from the last week of August now which is good news.

Hope they keep it up!

Just because they are good for one year doesn't prove that she didn't get in trouble from now until the interview. So basically she could get arrested, but hey!, this paper is good for one year! Look at the paper! I haven't been in trouble... See where I am going with this?

When she gets to her interview, she is going to be very frustrated when they ask her to provide a more recent document.


Bahh, I'll take my chances. A lot of Australian VJ members have obtained their Police Check as early as this, even earlier. Plus, it takes around 3-4 weeks for it to come through. Right in time for our NOA 2 :)

My projected noa2 has now been pushed back to March. I don't like this. Yuck.

With the recent approvals from CSC I didn't expect to be pushed back even further. This is so frustrating.

CSC seem to have made pretty good progress this month - it appears they are now half way through July. There haven't been any VJ approvals in the past couple of days though so let's keep our fingers crossed they keep that momentum going!

Hope everyone is well. Look on the bright side, at least we are not at the bottom of the pile anymore - there is an entire month of people waiting behind us :devil:

I am a male and I am feeling the same as most of you... DEPRESSED. It have been since September 7th since my love had to go back home. Emptiness is what I feel, headaches is what we both go through thinking of nothing but this. We see eachother as much as possible on Skype, 5+ hours of video chat a day. Planning our future together and the next steps we will take when she comes home. It is very hard, but remember... you are one day closer to being with your significant other. Just take it day by day and know each day is one day closer to the rest of your life. This wait is a very small fraction of the rest of your lives together.


I feel you! It's also been since Sept I saw my fiance. But hey - short term pain for long term gain! A month and a half into the process and not getting easier.

Skype really is a life saver.

Hello!
We mailed ours on 10/22. I received the email and text on 10/29 and our check was cashed on 11/1. Unfortunately, it isn't showing up on their website. I've been told that many people never have theirs show up until it's been accepted. I wonder if it's the California Service Center in particular that has this happen.

Here's wishing everyone luck on a fast and smooth and process! I'm hoping for a July 1st POE, anyone else have a date they are hoping for? Hard to plan anything without knowing when.

Lori


In my delusional mind, I was hoping for a Feb 1st POE - this was before I joined VJ. Way to kill my dream. haha. Anyway, I'm still hoping by some miracle CSC goes turbo and shoots up with some NOS. Fingers crossed! VJ is giving me a projected NOA2 date of mid Feb - so April-ish is a more realistic goal. I hear Sydney is pretty good at assigning interviews so toes crossed too!

Good luck everyone! Almost been a month waiting for me now and it's so not going to get any easier!
