Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?

[Eli the Barrowboy 16]

Ok Mercedes called tonight and spoke with a woman who was gruff and unhelpful.

Anyway, get this. They had my address as the one in Oregon. We checked back over our forms and we were correct - we put both our addresses as in Northern Ireland and Mercedes permanent residence in the USA as Oregon and we recieved our NOA1 here in Belfast.

They changed Mercedes' address for her, said we were within timeframe, and that was that!!! Said there was nothing unusual with our case and that they were filing in order.

So, to counteract the negative vibes given off by CSC we spent the last few hours looking at wedding photographers and are gonna book one this weekend before Mercedes leaves for Easter - think of it as a '**** you' to the nay sayers.

So don't be expecting anything too drastic from us over the next few days/weeks. Until we are the last people in line I'll bite my tongue and not moan too loud as I do feel for the people still waiting. Once and if we are last in line, oh momma ...

Have a good evening y'all!!!

It was the weirdest thing. Yesterday, I was bored at work, it was around 5 PM PST, so I figured I would check and see. Still no activity since 12/12. So since I was bored, I thought I would call to see what the touch in December was about. WHen the system asked for our case number, I mistyped it and then tried again. It told me that our petition was approved on 03/11. I thought, "What? that's weird." So I went back to USCIS and checked and sure enough it showed as approved now. I just sat there saying oh my god a few times, jumped over to a co-workers desk. told them what happened. tried to call Riza, but my cell phone won't allow international calls, so I went looking through my wallet for my phone card, emailed Riza, called my mom, charged my phone card, called Riza, no answer, got an email from Riza that she had gotten the email from USCIS and she was crying, and she left her cell phone at home.

It was a pretty good day.

Haha - that's awesome!!! I was kidna freaking out like that when I got my first touch It had been so long that the fact someone had looked at my file was more important to me at that point than NOA2

Eli - I am sure you will be fine with the wedding date you have planned It's nice to book things as well We're in discussions with our wedding planner about a few things they want to charge us for and we are disputing so that is fun(!) because we really get on with them well

Well done Ryan!!!

Well another week almost over and CSC is not exactly setting the world on fire with their approval rate. It looks like they are starting to do some november filers not much consolation to the 30+ october filers still waiting. I got 2 touches this week, so there are signs of life but they are capable some of cranking out 40+ per week or more if they really wanted to.

It is so frustrating when week after week VSC cranks out more approvals and we all know they have less staff than CSC.

Igors stats here incase anyone needs Igors Stats

It looks like they are starting to do some november filers not much consolation to the 30+ october filers still waiting.

Actually, if you take into account some of those October filers haven't logged in since 2007 I'd guesstimate that there are 24 October filers left - of which we are numero uno.

They are saving ours for St Paddy's Day!!!

Wouldn't that be both ironic and awesome?!

How are you going to celebrate if you have given up alcomahol for lent?!?!?!

Prayers have been answered-two more CSC November approvals: Kay & Jay, and James & Jen. That makes three so far today and we're just started!

Congratulations
