Oh, since the beneficiary is "male" from a Muslim nation - this could be the reason of this lengthy background check.  There is another person on VJ, male beneficiary from Pakistan - took 12 months for NOA-2.



Yes I figured that too reading other people stories from Pakistan!!!! At VJ Which suck

If you have not already contacted your senator, please do so; it helped me; they put inquiry for me on Friday, and I was approved on Monday.
I was also transferred to NSC on 12/12/13 - total time from NOA-1 to NOA-2: 8.5 months.
Good luck.

I received the response from Senator today by mail. That is a letter from NSC response to Senator on Mar 20. The funny thing is that the same resolution (background check clearance) but difference answer. Let see

- NSC response on my inquiry : Wait another 90 days
- SCOPSSCATA response on my inquiry : Wait another 60 days
- USCIS response to Senator : Wait another 30 days

Haha, the next is USCIS response to God : Wait another N days :)

The RFE was accepted yesterday....Took a little longer than expected but well within our time frame to respond. In two months it will be one year since we filed. I just keep thinking there will be a day soon when I will go to the airport to finally hug my husband I havent been able to hold in over a year.

I received the letter ( not email) from my Sanator today, enclosed the Privacy Release From to Authorize Senator to make any action or an inquiry on my behalf. They work really fast, I just emailed them on last friday. My Senator also said in the letter that he had asked a Constituent Service Representative in Atlanta Office to look into this matter for me. The bottom of this letter is noticed "Upon receipt of your privacy release, Mr. Spry will make an initial contact with the Nebraska Service Center on your behalf"

Wish my case will moving forward in this week



I hope the senator are helpful to you! My senators were not helpful at all he couldn't do more then telling me its under processing time!!!!! When I called uscis and tasked to tier 2 she told me they had submitted the inquiry for my husband back ground check on February 21st 2014 and that's the only thing they are waiting for as soon they get it they be able to make decision i feel so helpless don't know what else to do and who else to ask for help!!!!

Hi every one I just talk to tier2 she said because Pakistan does not have computer system so it take little longer then usual to get them for background check or any other information by mail so maybe that's why we are little BEHIND it does make sense to me BUT who knows

We were told the same thing as well. My wife finally put a service request in on the website, and quoting what the letter said. We have to wait up until March 14th to hear an answer. I know a trick my wife did was she called USCIS one time and said "Oh sorry, I was connected to a tier 2 but was disconnected on the line, can you put me back through" and the tier 1 just put her back in the queue. Our senator also sent us an e-mail back stating they haven't heard back from USCIS  and they are still attempting to get a response from them. I think they're just ignoring every little detail now or just can't find our case and can't be bothered to look in the massive of boxes they have... 



Same thing happened to me last week lady I talked to totally helpless and my senator did inquire 2 weeks ago had not heard anything yet

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDS-156

The proof they're looking for at this stage is a second letter of intent to marry, from the USC petitioner. Like the one sent with your I-129F, but dated closer to the interview.


Thanks so much for the replies, its put my mind at ease slightly :)

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDS-156
Hi all, I am new here and need a quick question answering if possible. My fiancee is an USC and I am a UKC. We have just started the fiance visa process and I have sent off everything for the I-129F application. But I have looked at your example form DS-156, where it says that proof of engagement is required. What prrof is needed? as the only proof we have is facebook posts to state we are engaged. I visited about 5 weeks ago and had to come back for work. We got on that well that we decided to get engaged, but could not afford a ring yet. We posted on facebook and that is the only proof we have. What could we do to get more proof about our engagement. I know the DS-156 form is not needed at the moment as we have just filled in the I-129F application but I just want to make sure I have everything when I need it.
Thanks in anticipation
Dave

Ditto on cheers for the info . . . but bloody charming that they think they need more money off us! And just to double clarify, this is 350 dollars not 350 pounds?


Yes its Dollars

Is this in addition to the $340 I-129F fee?


Yes
You now have to pay the $350 over the phone to the Embassy in London.
I never knew this until earlier this week either.
