Congrats to all the recent approvals! After reading through more posts and getting a bit more active on Visa Journey... It does seem like the CSC are processing faster than TSC. And it really breaks

I finally submitted my I-129F petition today April 3, 2014. And the waiting begins! Any other April filers here?

:dancing:(L) Received temporary approval on our visa!!! :dancing:(L)

Even though I make more than enough for our I-134, they have requested a co-sponsor. (I only worked for 3 months in 2013-- I had just returned from Asia). I think they may have only looked at my tax return and not my pay stubs, offer letter, etc and decided it was not enough... But no complaints here, as long as we were approved! Sending over the paperwork now, fiance just needs to submit the paperwork along with his passport this next week and we should get the official visa after two weeks!

So excited, I don't know what to do with myself!

Looking at flights now. Any suggestions for GZ, China to SF?


Getting frustrated ....... NOA1 on April 8 - transferred to CSC on Aug 11 - no word on NOA2 yet - ridiculous

Hopefully, now that you have been transferred, everything will move along more quickly!

Sending good vibes your way :thumbs:

NOA1 April 7th and nothing but confusing status changes on the USCIS page. . Any thoughtsssss??

Lots received a glitch update (including myself) a few days ago. Call up and speak to tier 2? or get senator involved. It really does feel like we are helpless, though. Meh..

Hey Visa Journey Community!

I filed for K-1 on April 1, 2014 and received my NOA1 April 8, 2014. At the time USCIS said our wait was 5 months, now it's been extended to 6 months. I know I am not the only one who has said this or felt this way, but this process is so frustrating. I see CSC cases get speedy approvals, while TSC cases seem like they are sitting in a dark room collecting dust. We haven't received a notice of a transfer or anything, so we do nothing but wait. I must say if it wasn't for my faith in Christ, I would be a mess lol.

I have been looking at visa journey blogs for a while now and never registered, but I am happy that I did. And I am pleased to know that my fiance and I are not the only couple out there still waiting. This blog has given me a lot of hope and reassurance that we will receive our NOA2 very soon. Thank you and good blessings to all of you.

It will come ! This is not for the faint hearted, that is for sure. We are April filers and were approved in June but NVC forwarded our case

to the wrong embassy and it took forever to get that straightened out. We were given an interview date for next month but will try to get

an earlier date. It always seems to be one thing or another. This is our second filing !!!

Best wishes for the rest of your journey.

We are approved!!!!! Our NOA2 text and email alert came through last night at 8pm. I am so excited! Seeing all these approvals for CSC was leaving me discouraged. But after 5 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days, God granted us one of the many blessings He has in store for us. Thank you Visa Journey family for being supportive. I know it's not over, but I'm grateful for this stage in our process.
