TSC is upsetting. :(

And on any of those times you called them, did they put up a service request for you?




Yes. We asked them to placed us a service request and told us to wait for another 30 days for any response from them.

Hey, chaeradaria! Did you call USCIS?




Yes we did. Multiple times already. But still nothing. Still pending... :(

My fiance's interview is in Rio tomorrow..  I'm very nervous not only because of the interview but also because it's in Rio..  at least his father will be going with him


Few more steps and you're gonna be together
I am happy for both of you and praying for the successful interview of your fiance. :)

I'm sorry but I really don't think so :( We're all "pending adjudication", even those that only filed last week. It means your file is in the queue waiting for someone to look at it. On a positive note, it probably means they haven't lost/hidden/eaten your file :-D
 
Really hope you hear something soon.


Aw! I thought it means something else.
Hoping to hear soon for those early filers. :)

My fiance received a letter from the senator's office stating that our petition is "pending for adjudication"
I hope it means something in favor to our approval.

I hope your and all other filers that are pass their 5 month mark get their NOA2 soon, I can only imagine how hard it must be. :(
 



Thank you. It is really hard, but a little hope won't make us give up.
Next week is another hope.

Yesterday was my Fiance's birthday, tomorrow will be my birthday, and today June 4th, 2014 just one day shy of six months since NOA1 we
received our NOA2 approval!!!!!!!!!!  They did not email or text, we had to see the update on the USCIS website.  I am so happy and my heart goes out to those of you still waiting.  I hope tha
t you have an answer soon.



Congratulations!!! :)
finally, a November filer!

I talked to my fiance minutes ago. He called the USCIS today, and they are now working on December Filers.

I don't know if its a good idea. :(
But my fiance said, since our NOA1 is December3 it might be our time this week or this month. :(



chaeradariaNot TellingPhilippines2014-06-03 16:59:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2013 TSC Filers

We too will be hitting six months this week!!  We put in a service request....Result: "Case is pending"...and now I have my Congressman's office helping.  They say five months is an average, I just hate being on the back side of that average :angry:.  Hopefully this will be our week.  


I feel the same way. I have soooo much hope this month despite of the stress and frustrations.

Hitting 6months in 2days from Noa1.
Senator is not updating on us anymore.
Expedite request is not granted.
Service request is pending.
Email to USCIS director will be send tomorrow.
Fiance will call USCIS tomorrow too.

Good luck to us and to those still in the long wait.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2013 TSC Filers

Ugh, that sucks, I thought all the November ones were done now :(
 
Have you contacted your senator etc?



That's what I thought also since the last time my fiance called USCIS is working with November filers. there are still November filers left.

We've done any possible things you can think of. From countless calls to the tier2, writing the senator, expedite request, service request. The last thing we'll gonna try is writing the USCIS director, but still no guarantee. :(
It really sucks! :(

Thank you. Senator left us hanging already. Will try to email USCIS director this Monday.

I shouldn't be looking at new approvals from late filers. It's making me more frustrated.

Hoping to here something from fellow November filers or early than us. They give me more courage.

Yes, sounds like it's best to e-mail or call USCIS directly. I know what you mean about seeing the new approvals - happy for them, but it is frustrating when one is waiting so long. Hope yours and others' will arrive very soon![/quote][/quote][/quote]

My fiance is doing the formal letter to be send to the USCIS director. But would probably send it this coming Monday.

Hoping it will come soon.
Thank you.

Just a reminder to those getting noa2's, please update your timelines. I have been tracking it for two weeks now and there is no change in the overview. Which is worrysome.

It is worrisome. I have been tracking also but still no change. :(
Hitting 6 months in 4 days. :(

Hang in there, it has to be coming soon! We were NOA2 at 6 months, and I had seen one other couple in this time frame too from October. Try to work with your congressional and senate offices. At this point, they may be able to intervene.[/

If I where you i'd put in a request or call. From what I have read this speeds up the process. 



Thank you for suggesting but we've done almost everything. From countless calls to USCIS, asking help from senator, service request.

5 months and 16 days waiting.

Is it true that the normal processing time at TSC is now 6months, for k1?
I read it from visa journey Facebook page.

I'm getting frustrated everyday. :(

Are there any November filers left waiting for approvals aside from Cameron&Diana and Me?

Just wondering if we're the only one left here.


chaeradariaNot TellingPhilippines2014-05-09 01:06:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2013 TSC Filers

 
That is great news! they are moving slowly but at least still moving. Pretty soon they will have most of the 2013 filers done. Hang in there if you are still waiting for NOA2, it will happen soon I
promise!


They said they're having a major backlog. I can tell too since other service centers were moving fast just by looking at the Igor list. Fingers crossed!!!
Hoping the rest November filers get approvals soon. :)


chaeradariaNot TellingPhilippines2014-05-09 01:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2013 TSC Filers

We also got our approval on May 6th, a little under 6 months after submitting the application!
We had decided that I was going to go to the US to wait for NOA2 until interview so we were a little stressed when we got the approval 2 days before my trip...
I got stopped at border control and had to answer so many questions from the first officer and had to do the second interview and after a short wait I was sent on my way to visit my fiancé!


Congratulations!!!
More approvals soon for November filers!!! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2013 TSC Filers

I was afraid to be disappointed yet again by checking the USCIS website last night, but I should have because - WE GOT APPROVED!!! Mustered my courage to look this morning and saw the Post Decision Activity, not believing my eyes. I did not receive an e-mail or text, but the approval was evidently sent out yesterday, May 7, exactly 6 months after NOA1, so I was jumping all over the place, but not sure if I was dreaming. Wanted to surprise my fiancée, but I found her e-mail later, and she was so ecstatic! She had checked last night and found out first, because of the time difference. Anyway, thanks so much to everyone for their support - Foxxy, Sparkle Pony and everybody else - and of course to FinalEmpress for creating this topic and being so supportive too. To Chaeradaria and all others waiting, I know it's hard tobelieve, but there will be an end to the NOA2 stress for you, and I hope it is very soon. It will be a great feeling!


Great good news!!!
congratulations to you!!!!
Finally early filers are now getting approvals!!!

I just hope they cleared out all November filers first before proceeding to next month filers.
I'm one of the hopeful.

Anyway, I'm still happy hearing your approval!
hurray!!! :) :) :)

Well guys, I'm at a loss..  I expect we'll receive our interview date in the next week or so, but my fiance in the past couple days has been showing signs of schizophrenia.  He has always been eccentric but things have really come to a head for some reason in the past few days.  It is really scary and upsetting and I don't know what to do.  I don't want to give up on him and our future together.  I am working with some of his friends and hopefully his family to try to get him some help but I feel very helpless and sick to my soul..


Aw. You'll be in my prayers!
stay tough, you're one of his strengths.

Just wanted to let y'all know, at 10pm I got the text that my case was updated, and had my fiancé check. Our petition has finally been approved! It was the best news I could've asked for today.

Now I hope that this ball keeps rolling for everyone else still waiting for the NOA2, hopefully we were all in the same batch together, but it'll come when least expected!


Congratulations!!!

Looks like our visa journey in nearing an end. My fiancé had her interview today and she was sooo nervous. She did well and passed the interview with no problems. She will have her visa in two weeks and we will plan the trip at that time. We are both very excited! She was all smiles and full of happiness. We can hardly wait until we are together again. Now we can finally relax and I can stop obsessing over this process and focus on other things. Hang in there everyone and best of luck!

On our 3rd follow up at the senators office, we got a standard reply to wait for another 30days for the next update.
4 days to go before 5months from NOA1.

I decided to go ahead and call USCIS for any information on my NOA2.  I have read their response on this thread before.  They told me "TSC was currently working on applications submitted from October 22nd and they have a backlog".  I swear I have read this EXACT response!!  Also as an FYI for all of you waiting, I did not receive my NOA1 until 12/5/13 BUT they counted my case start date as the day I originally submitted my petition, 11/12/13.  I think I will call again tomorrow :content:  and the next day....and the next.  If no NOA2 by 5/5/14 I will contact my congressman. 


Our NOA1 date is close to your NOA1 date, we got ours 12/04/2013. We filed 11/27/2013.
Hoping to hear news within the 5months.
Good luck to us.

I'm happy to report that I got the NOA2 approval text and email at 9pm tonight! I can't begin to tell you what a relief it is! Now let's hope my gut was right and things start to pick up at TSC! I'll also mention that I've been working with my Senators' offices and was told my petition did have to go through some additional screening and got cleared a few weeks ago. So if any of you get that bit of bad news, don't give up!



Congratulations!
TSC c'mon, More November filers approval!
