They're sitting there in their little cubicles, thinking of new and cruel ways to toy with us... Hey Courtney - I saw your post about visiting the UK. Not sure if you will be permitted to enter, but it sounds like you have a lot of proof tying you to the US. Just be confident and polite. I hope it goes well!! I'm visiting in Jan with my 8 y/o daughter and am already freaking out if they will admit us. Never had probs before, but adding a kid to the mix makes me nervous. Good news is I have 2 other kids, a full time job, mortgage, etc. to come back to, so I think it will be OK. Fingers crossed for both of us!!! Why would she not be permitted to enter UK. As far as I know, every American with a passport may enter at anytime. Been there several times. Maybe I'm missing something?	Jason-Sasha	Male	Russia	2007-10-22 22:27:00

Does he mean an email notification? I never got one. Maybe you get one if you are able to get registered on the USCIS website before the NOA1 is issued? I can't remember if I got registered before my NOA1 notice date or not but I know I never received an NOA1 email. I registered before I got my physical NOA1 cos I got the number from the back of my check as soon as it posted to my checking account. I can't recall if I got my NOA1 electronically, but I don't think so. Yeah, i'm pretty sure most of us never got a NOA1 email.	Jason-Sasha	Male	Russia	2007-10-22 22:11:00

At least you know whats going on, just make sure you send it back as fast as possible. Good luck Syl I doubt Byron will wait a month to return the requested evidence. in fact he might just drive it to them personally!! but seriously, don't let this whoop your @ss, Byron. You've come so far and an RFE is so much better than not knowing or a denial. Mel and Syl, I'm sorry. I just noticed that my first sentence could possibly be misunderstood. i was in no way assuming that you waited a month by choice. I'm sure there was no way around that. I was just making a little joke about how fast Byron would correct this issue... Edited by Jason-Sasha, 22 October 2007 - 04:22 PM.	Jason-Sasha	Male	Russia	2007-10-22 16:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Waiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?	Byron, Cheer up and try to stay strong. At least you know for sure that your petition has been reviewed. After this RFE arrives you should be very close to final approval. try to take some comfort in knowing this. It's got to be better than waiting without answers, right??	Jason-Sasha	Male	Russia	2007-10-22 16:04:00

Some countries take super super long time until interview dates. Some couples have been waiting almost a year and other couples got visa within 6 months. It depends. Also processing time at USCIS varies. Each case is different. We are not marrying the same person. Everyone is different. So, just extending the estimate time does not apply to everyone. It seems you are downplaying the terrible service we are getting. We will see how you feel and the tone of your posts after you have been waiting 4, 5, 6 or more months for your NOA2. As I said earlier, don't wait until it is too late to help yourself, write your elected officials and media now! Here are the minimum points to make: The system is not fair. The 6 months is not reasonable when added to all the other times for steps in the process to be apart from your loved one, as is the prioritization of work visas over K1/K3 visas and the fact that USCIS does not let you pay for and get 15-day premium processing like many other types of visas. Don't wait...do it for you and your loved one now. I don't believe we can convince the general public to care about our needs. They really don't care if we are ever united with our loved ones.....It doesn't concern them. Only if taxes are raised are they concerned. We have to accept it in the backside and just grin alot. Always being so patient.....Eventually approvals will come..... Yeah, well at least you're with CSC.	Jason-Sasha	Male	Russia	2007-10-20 22:24:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Waiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?	I too agree that calling the service centers does no good at all. I'm always afraid that I will piss off the wrong person and suffer the consequences. Kinda like being too much of bother at a fastfood spot. I'm always worried that my tasty burger will come with extras. But I suppose I will change my mind about this when i hit the 150 day mark.	Jason-Sasha	Male	Russia	2007-10-18 00:03:00

I changed the processing time period to one that covers from the date the petition was sent to the NOA2 date. The projected number of processing days is based upon the number of open petitions divided by number of petitions approved per day for the last 30 days. As the approval rate changes, the projected processing time will change also. Perhaps dramatically. Please do not take the projections too seriously.

My comparisons have nothing to do with policies or politics. I was speaking about the waiting and trying to help keep people thinking positively. Half full/half empty. But it's obvious some people prefer to be angry and negative. I'm sorry about that. All I'm saying is it could be worse. There's always going to be someone who has it worse than we do. Try to be thankful immigration is even an option for those we love. The waiting won't be so bad when we're looking back at it.	Jason-Sasha	Male	Russia	2007-10-15 14:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Waiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?	When I was in the Navy we were sometimes deployed for more than 9 months at a time. Then we'd be home for 6 months and leave again for another 9-12. It was horrible for relationships. Thank God we don't need to wait this long! Troops now are in the desert for more than a year at a time. Imagine living with that separation, and the possibility of never seeing each other again. Just think about that for a moment and this process doesn't seem so bad.	Jason-Sasha	Male	Russia	2007-10-15 13:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Waiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?	I just got back from seeing Sasha in Moscow. We had originally planned for it to be my last trip before she comes home to me. But now, because of this extended wait time, we are planning another trip in December. we weren't able to spend New Year's together for the past 2 years. I think these frequent trips make the waiting much easier. But for the love of God!......VSC has to pick up the pace!!!!
