K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary Filers

I called USCIS again just now and found out I was APPROVED back on April 24th!! I posted a new topic on it. :D Ridiculous how the online status didn't change, nor was I sent any emails. FIGURES!!!

THe officer I spoke with didn't mention anything about pending approval though like another VJer mentioned...


Congrats...looks like you are moving forward...

I can see a trend now of people calling USCIS now... :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

I also just called USCIS. LOL. They're probably wondering who all these crazy January people are who are all calling within minutes of each other! LOL!! :lol:

Anyway, yeah she told me exactly what it says online, blah blah blah. I told her that I had gotten 'touched' last week - she was like "you got WHAT?" - LOL. She asked if it had been within 6 months of me filing yet....grrrrrrrrrrrr. I told her that I just wanted to make sure the online notification was working right....

What the heck # did you guys push to actually talk to a human being??? I wonder if I call and press the 'change of address' number I'll get better info like a previous poster got. Jeez, somebody just wake me when all of this is over. :P


It really depends, I have talked to helpful people...then I have talked to the standard run of the mill government sheep(follow all the same drills for answering questions over and over again)...

Ok,

Monday & Tuesday normally dont mean much to CSC. Now we will be getting into crunchtime, wednesday thru friday. Expect some NOA2's coming to you. I hope all the best....again. Hopefully we get at least 9 NOA2's this week.


exactly...but more than 9...


I was thinking more along 25-50 this week... :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Remember - not everyone gets NOA2 emails or sees status updates online after approval.


I hope to hell everyday that I'll open my mailbox and find something . . . but there's isn't much comfort in knowing that I don't know if/when I'll get approved or if/when I'll know if I get approved.

That is probably the hardest part of the entire thing...the not knowing...maybe if the Service Centers had an accurate time line rather than the cover my ### timeline then the wait may not be so bad and we could anticipate it...

Jenny,

Hopefully your first touch meant NOA2 and they just didnt update their site correctly, and the second touch meant that it was mailed to NVC.

Hopefully....

I want you guys to get your NOA2 up and done...so us Feb guys can start going to bat...good luck guys...

omg...i'm here's i'm looking at the numbers, not including evan and dave at 55 days:

jan. filers with noa2 dates from 3.26.07 - 4.15.07 - 30 noa2's, avg # of days = 81 days

jan. filers with noa2 dates from 4.16.07 - 4.27.07 - 17 noa2's, avg # of days = 92 days


an 11 day slowown :wacko: :angry:

Well, hopefully they are speeding things up now that those H1B's with premium processing are finished...

TOUCHED!

MotherF-er, Finallllllly. God. Feels good. PleasePleasePlease NOA2 by the end of the week.

Pant-pant-pant. I need a drink.


Hopefully they start giving it up(NOA2's) that is instead of just touching...whenever I see that picture I just get pissed, extremely, it makes me feel as if they are laughing at me because they have total control of my life right now.

Guys...come on now...you don't REALLY expect them to work on a Monday, now do you? :lol:

Seriously - didn't we decide the emails go out at 9:30pm Pacific Time anyways? Still hope for this Miserable Monday. MAYBE they'll be some sent out tonight. I'll hope to wake up to good news in the morning. Don't think I'll make it to see that time (11:30 CST) tonight. Gonna be lots of them. Think happy thoughts.



I'll think happy thoughts for us all...however reality sucks...good luck and lets these January NOA2s out of the way already...come on CSC...show us why Cali is supposed to be number one.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary Filers

I have a thought. It seems to me that most approvals come in during the later part of the week. wed/thurs/fri. Could it be they work on the cases the first couple of days, yet do not mark it as touched? Then boom approval few days later.


Maybe they will work late and catch up the work that they missed during the early part of the week... :thumbs:

I don't know if this is going to make you guys feel better, but this week I saw about 2 people get their petitions approved at CSC for their K-3 visas. :yes:


Yes, I found some K-3 activity-- 2 or 3 NOA2's for the 17th. At least we know somebody made it to work yesterday. :crying:


It helps a little... maybe I can move to Vermont to escape the hot summer weather!

George


Jesus, I have been in and out of posting because of being in Korea these 2 weeks...but no body got an NOA2 this week? Wow...CSC is breaking records here.


There was a 129f approved today according to another post...and it was out of CSC...wow...one a week.

How is it that 2 Feb CSC filers received their noa2 already?!?!?!?!?!?

See link below
http://fwaguy.250fre...m/February2.htm

I noticed that. How BIZARRE.

If I remember correctly, they sent their petition out Jan 10. So they probably counted when they received via snail mail their NOA1, and not the actual notice date. So therefore, USCIS probably received their petition somewhere around the 16 of Jan. Of course I am just guestimating here, but that would be my interpretation of what has happened.


Yeah, true...however it doesn't matter...you guys were ahead of me...by CSC standards way ahead of me...but I thought it was odd as well. :blink:

I second that! I wish I were with Marlon, living it up on the beach, drinking Rum Cream and dreaming of an NOA2.... *sigh*


My Sweetie is arriving today to spend a week with me. :dance: If only we had our NOA2 waiting in the letter box when he comes back home..... I'd be beside myself with happiness. But with the speed CSC is working now - I don't think that is going to happen. :angry:

Anyway, I'm going to enjoy the time with my Love-Bug now without obsessively checking our case status every other while and see you guys next week. I hope you will have some good news for me by then!! :thumbs:



I def. understand that, right now I am in Korea, living up life with my SO...it is just too dang cold...I want some of that beach the other person was talking about...BTW you Jan guys, hurry up and get your NOA2's...I want to be next... :thumbs:

Wow, this is making me skeptical about the evidence that I sent in too...I too sent in a packet prior to finding VJ...all I sent in was photos, passport copies, military orders, letters from both of us and small really insignificant things...now I kinda feel worried.

How do we get through this strenuous process???? I love my man and he is certainly worth it but I can't help feeling lonely from time to time and sneaking a glance at the hot new neighbor! lmao i just can't wait to hear some good news!

No, it will be 30 days on the 11th, and no, I think I will wait on using the big guns, cos ya never know when you will REALLY need them. For something like this, I will just have to wait and see what their next move will be, then try to figure out some battle plan, I guess. :angry:
On the flip side, I already told them to submit the request. I would hope they did and did not screw THAT up , too.
