Any Concern

[adeese660 0]

I received the NOA1 dated April 1,2009,as of today,when I visit the USCIS page to check the status,it still shows the case as received and pending.Should I be concerned about this,as i have seen people on here that have sent in their K1 app. after me,and have allready received NOA2?Or am I just kinda jumping the gun here,we have been together for over 3 years now,I have visited her 3 times since we met,and we are really wanting to be together,but,the wait is unbearable.Could someone maybe ease my mind and tell me its ok,or should I be worried at this point because of the time its taking.I filed at the Vermont center if that helps with an answer.

Thanks,David

You are outside of the current processing date of April 23. Call USCIS and get to level 2 ask them whats up and have them submit a service request... its better than doing nothing...

My wife and children are here, have been for more than 3 months, but my status check page still reads that they have just received our application for the I-129f and will be contacting us as soon as another action is taken. HA

You folks are quick at answering things here,thats great,I will call them tomorrow,I am guessing you mean NOA2 when you say get to level 2,or do you mean something else?

when you call, the first person you talk to will be a customer service rep. ASK FOR A SUPERVISOR!!!

No, it means escalate the call. Calls to the USCIS National Customer Service Center are answered by Tier I Customer Service Reps who are government contractor employees. They are unfailingly polite and unfailingly useless. Tier II are actual USCIS officers who are occasionally more useful (though often less polite) than the Tier I drones.

Polite to a fault.. they read the script well.. i got tired of the last person asking me.. "is there anything else you would like for me to repeat" and my response was .. no please answer the question... or escalate...

Took us 150 days after NOA1...I think we both aged 5 years during the wait.

So your getting kinda close to being over the average time

I think you're jumping the gun. You are right around the normal processing time. Calling the center does no harm but I wouldn't start worrying too much yet.

Easy to say for someone who got NOA2 in 105 days. They've been waiting well over 150. They are at least 2 weeks over USCIS posted processing times—3 if you go by the page that says April 23. They can and should be demanding action.

Alla's good friend Evgenia waited over 9 months for her's. And their case was a no brainer. Everyone has to remember that the averages are just that. There will be folks that fall on either side of the average.

AND, the had to file at Vermont.

Well,for an update.I did call them today,and they told me that it is not out of the 5 month time frame untill Sept 23,and gave me alot of info that was useless and as ScottThuy got,I got the ''is there anything else you would like for me to repeat'',I heard that phrase alot during the conversation.So,If I do not have any change on Sept 23,I will call again and demand something be done as polite as I can.Nothing else I can do,but wait and wait,oh yea,one more thing I can do,thats wait some more.Thanks for the help folks,I will keep you updated on what is happening.

Sept 23? Wow they are misinterpreting the processing data.. its not 5 months from the posted date its if you filed before the posted date.. You should call back and request to speak to a supervisor... be very polite and very patient.. and most of all be persistant... the tier 1 person will eventually give in and transfer you... dont accept the stated response until they agree to provide a service request.... and please dont forget to stay calm....

I think you're just jumping the gun. Call if you like, that will not affect your timeline. It is was it is. Not much you can do except wait.

Yes, yes as one has said, easy to say for me who got through quicker, but that is not really the issue. Every case is unique and we can't judge our cases to each other.

Our case was held up an additional two week at NVC for AP and now we have to reschedule her interview because she just on Tuesday finally received the formal adoption of the little one.

Are we crying.....yes, we are crying because we know that now we will be together.

Before, it was possible they would not grant the adoption, ever. So you think we were skating free? Not in your life.

There will always be another couple's case that is worse than yours.

I assume you two are keeping up, the best you can, using all the modern methods of communication, your ongoing relationship.

It will happen. And when it will, you will no longer be sad.
