K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsstill waiting for NOA2 since NOA1 4/23/08
Seems that there are always a few people with the same date waiting longer than other (like in my case skeez&titanic and us). This is so weird.
I wonder what USCIS does with those petitions.

Ok, I don't really know but this seems weird to me.
Have you already started a service requested with USCIS? You can do that as soon as you are over the current processing time which I think you probably are. USCIS then has 45 days to repsond and will most likely give you an answer on what is happening.

Another option is to go to an infopass appointment. You might end up with the same at the end though. They will probably just start a sevrice request too.

Good luck!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsstill no NOA2
We read about the RFE trick and tried it. Somehow we couldn't get through at VSC. Maybe we always pressed the wrong numbers...?! VSC changed their menu numbers some time ago so must of the ones mentioned on VJ will no longer be valid.

Anyone here that knows the right combination of numbers?

You could try and call but they will probably tell you that you are within processing times as per the USCIS processing times listed on their website. It's currently March 2008.



Which is complete bullsh*** as everybody here knows!!! I hate USCIS. mad.gif

Hey!
I know how you feel. We are still waiting too.

K 1 petition sent: June 20
NOA 1: June 24
last update: July 10


Is there anyone else than just us two with around the same dates?!

Dan goes to an infopass appointment today in OKC and hopes to find out more. Other than that we will contact our congressman after 180 days. Hopefully that 'll help.

By the way you have waited around 120 days now. That's not too much. Many get approved between 130-150 days.

Don't worry, seems to be standard processing for USCIS.

Some people have to wait longer than others for no reason.

If you have waited longer than six months, I would try to get answers!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNeed Help Please
Hey,
we are here waiting still too.

I have already posted it a few times, but have you already tried an infopass appointment???
We had one last week and they could actually tell us that yes we are late but we have already been assigned to an officer Nov 13 and that we should hear something within 2-4 weeks from now.
Those people cannot speed up the process (however they can put a service request for you in) but have more information than the call center agents or the online platform. And if you ask, they will probably also tell you if you got stuck in some checks or if there is anything wrong with your case!! We did it. She said, for now, she doesn't see why there should be anything wrong with our case. It's just a little late which might be due to the officer's vacations etc.

Infopass offices are in every major city. Make an appointment on the USCIS webpage a few days in advance and go there with your NOA1. It really helped us to know what's going on and you finally get to speak to a life person. Even though she tried to tell us the "we are aprproving March right now"-sentence, she was reasonable when my faincé told her what we know and that this is not true. She just said "hmm...okay, true." Be polite, reasonable and I am almost 90% sure they will try to help you. If not, try a different office!

I am sorry to hear about your case, but there are a few june filers still waiting. Seems we all got a little late in processing time to me.

But you can filter it for the year of filing, K1, Service Center as well as beneficiary's country. I don't think that should give you more than 200 hits.

I would think its not a good sign if they didn't check your cash because thats what USCIS usually does first too.
I would call them. However, they at least touched your case so you are in the system smile.gif

You can call the National Visa Center (NVC) and they can tell you whether they already received your case and/or forwarded it!

How do you know they are working around the clock and hired new staff? I can just hope this is true because I am one of the last June filers still waiting and desperately need my NOA2. This wait is really on my nerves right now.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsToo Many "Touches" ?!?
Could mean anything. SOmetimes they work on your file and get back to it the next day or later. Maybe the changed your adjudicator (sign in 1, sign out 1, sign in 2). And maybe...your approval is close. I hope so for you.

However, a lady at infopass told us this week that our file was touched on Dec 16 for an audit that is something they do regularly for inventory purposes. So this could be one touch too.

Relax, I am sure you will have NOA 2 soon.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsextended review
I have never heard this term before but my guess is that this is the same as "administrative processing" where they perform additional background checks or have to resolve hits from your background checks. This can take weeks or even months. If you look around in this forum, you will notice that quite a few of us have the same problem.
