Wow!! kicking.gif kicking.gif Hope it is an approval for you! You were last touched July 11th....our last touch was July 10th--hope they didn't skip the July 10th box!!! I know there are a few of us in there!
Good luck to everyone for next week--let's hope for even more approvals than last week smile.gif

OMG! I wasn't here for 2 days and all of a sudden so many people got approved. Congratulations! I am getting confident now that we will hear something soon too. Would be awesome since my second half is staying with me right now. :-)

Hope you all had a happy halloween. I carved a pumpkin for the first time in my life. Hahaha

and why should the elections matter? are they all working for the Republican party? If not, Nov. 4 should be just another day.


Because a lot of the USCIS staff got transfered to tasks related to the elections I read...

Good morning, everybody!
It's sad to see that no one else got approved yesterday. I thought this journey should from now on be quick for most of us... sad.gif
I just hope USCIS will get back to normal processing times after the election is over. I am praying.

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

Same here. It makes me sooo angry to see October people approved. I mean, not that I am not happy for them but that's just so odd and stupid because so many people here are still waiting, some even for a year. I know I would go crazy if we had to wait for a year. My fiancé and I already keep talking about that now. If that would happen, he would come here and we would get married here and stay here. I mean #######. Why should I ask any government when and to whom I may get married to?! (yeah I know immigration policies)

I am just having such a bad feeling. It seems that more than half of all June filers got approved by now...


Actually, I did some independent querying of the VJ database two days ago and my conclusion was that only about 1/3 of the people who filed in June have their NOA2.

There were 116 NOA1's issued in June, of those 55 have their NOA2 and 22 of those were May people crossing over. Going by filing date, there were 89 peeps who filed in June and 34 of those have their NOA2 (one got the NOA1 in July).

So see? Not so bad.



I am sorry. headbonk.gif But sometimes I just can't stand it anymore and go crazy about it. It just feels like such a pain in the a**. I mean ####### VSC. That's just all bullsh**.
Ok, enough being angry.

I am just having such a bad feeling. It seems that more than half of all June filers got approved by now...When will it be our turn? Also I noticed that most people that have the exact same timeline as me and my fiancé (either NOA 1 as of June24 or last touched July 10) didn't hear anything yet. I just hope we are not all in a pile behind some desk.

Look at it this way; someone workes on your petition and it did not get lost! :-)
Depending on how soon you will be able to respond to your RFE and how soon the officer will start reworking on it, your approval will come. From my readings here in this forum, 10 days seems very optimistic. I would think it can cost you at least another month since Vermont is slow as hell right now. But hopefully I am wrong.

I wouldn't worry too much. I have read pretty often by now that the online status system is not accurate or in some cases just doesn't work at all.

This waiting is killing me! All I want is the NOA2 so I can plan the next step!!! I can't even plan to see my fiancee again until that comes through. Meantime, my SO has gotten her police clearance and will go for medical as soon as NOA2 arrives. When I started this process, the timeframe for VSC was beginning of Sept., which already seemed an eternity then!



Yeah, I can feel you. When we sent in the petition in June we thought that we might get able to get NOA 2 in September which seemed like a realllly long time from then. And now here we are...in October...Still waiting patiently. whistling.gif

Ellie, I know it is hard to wait. But I am sure you will have good news soon too. Don't know what reason there is that they do not work on the applications in order though. That sucks.

I would also suggest to collect all the documentations already now. Look at the forms, fill out whatever is already possible because it is a lot of time you will need to gather that information. I also got all my medical stuff done (vaccinations, tests). So that I will only have to go to the Medical examination now and wait for NOA2 and pack 3. And then I hope everything will become very quick. Because I want to spend new year with my fiancé!

@BubbleTea: Our petition also got touched last on July 10th. I guess we are sitting in the same boat. ;-)

Good luck to all of us!

I actually read that in an article. They approved thousands of people right before the elections and stopped working on K1 which you can see by just looking at the NOA 1 dates of all July filers.
panterchenFemaleGermany2009-01-07 14:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOctober 08 K1 Filers
There were so many August filers because USCIS issued almost 90% of all July filers NOA 1 in August. This was because of the elections as USCIS stopped working on K1 and just did naturalizations so people could go and vote. That's what messed up their timeline I think.

Good luck to all you october filers. Most of you still have to go quite a long way to your NOA 2. Keep your heads up!

Just type in "(your state), senator" in google and you'll get to the webpage of one of your senators. Fill out their privacy release they have there and send it to them. Follow up with a call a week later to make sure they got it. You will hear from them 2 weeks later. Don't expect too much though.

Hello,

as Chadherm mentioned...I am one of the June filers waiting too. There are quite a few of us plus it seems to me there are also a lot of beginning July filers stuck with us. Don't know what happened with our cases.

Try to contact your congressmen or senators. Sometimes they can have a pull but don't expect too much. Look at my comments in my timeline. We are trying anything. USCIS keeps telling us we have been assigned to an officer mid-November. Don't know what the he** is taking so long. I would think we are a straight forward case as we have no kids involved, were never married before, are not from high fraud countries, have blank records and I even had a J1 Visa before in 2001 for the US and have never been back there again since 2004 even though I could have used Visa waiver to just come in....

Whenever we have tried to talk to USCIS we have been contantly disappointed. They are so not willing to help. Went to two infopass appointments. Both wanted to always tell us that they are processing March 7 and everything else is a lie. One lady gave in and looked our file up and told us we were assigned to an officer and are not in AP. The next time my fiancé went there, another officer told him that they don't even have that info in their system. When he replied that this is strange since " last time they could give that info when he was there" the lady all of a suddenwas able to look up our file in the system. They are all a bunch of liars. The call center agents have just been trained to read info off of their webpage. Nothing else they can do. Oh yeah, they can file a service request on your behalf after 180 days of waiting. What it actually is though, is just the same information you'd get at an infopass appointment any time in a local USCIS office.

So, if you really want to find out whether your case got hung up in security checks, I would try an infopass appointment. Other than that we can just sit back and wait until we lose more and more precious time with our loved ones.

Good luck!

My fiance and I have applied for our k1 Visa and recieved NOA1 as of June 26th 2008.We have sent all the paperwork, photos, evidience, and marriage agreements signed by both of us.How is it that it has been 6 months and not even the NOA2 has been recieved.We would like to know how many applications for the k1/k3 visas are also waiting for their NOA2 from the Vermont Center.The official website of the USCIS has stated since November they are reviewing up to March 8, 2008. Although there are many here who claim they have either recieved their NOA2 or got the whole process approved in December and they appiled after we did. Anyone else in this situation from this particular office? Also is certain countries such as mine in the Philippines delayed particiuliarly as other countries are much faster?

This is very frustrating and it seems no one can help us at the Vermont Center until they are officially reviewing the June 26 2008 applications. Please let us know how many more out there are waiting or if any resolutions to improve on this? Thank you for your time!


Oh and timeline.gif !!!! This helps all of us to see who else is waiting with us.
