Thanks..... what on earth could be taking ours so long???

My only thought is when they went through the stack, there was something not done, maybe backgrounds, having trouble contacting people, who knows. So it was scanned in, looked over, then for one reason or another tossed back into the pile and maybe it went to someone else who's slow. I really wish for all the cost and time that's spent here regarding our petitions we could get more official answers.

As it is I find it ridiculous I have to go through the government to approve of my relationship.

First a huge sorry for being so selfish and not saying a huge CONGRATS to all those approved.... I had to step away from the computer because it is just so hard to see so many approvals and still nothing..... with that said, thank you so much for being supportive....

Do you think that the fact that Adriano was in in the US on a J1 visa, then had it changed and extended a couple times while he lived and took some classes here?? And then he went back and got a crew member visa (sorry I stink, Ihave no idea which visa that is) Would that be holding it up? He was never here illegally, but had a couple different visas??

I think I'm at the lowest point I've been on this "journey" yet.... do you think God will be more likely to respond if I have my preschoolers pray for us???? :blush:

I will say faith and patience. Most of us will never have to go through the time that some others have had to go through.

Off the top of my head, Sunnybear had to go some 7 months before NOA2, and of course, I keep bringing it up, but estadia has gone over a year without NOA2, and a really sh!tty time with the CSC to boot.

That's just why I'd like to see things a little more transparent. No one can really know why your petition is being held up, just some random theories. At your last touch, it could have still been pending, so it was put back into the stack which means it takes a while longer. That's why I was crossing my fingers when I got touched yesterday that it wasn't that case. I've gone through so many DOJ backgrounds, applying a few times to be an officer, getting ATF clearance to be able to handle highly potent explosives, guard card when I was going to help a friend out with his security company (requires yet another DOJ authorization), that I'm probably easy to get backgrounds on. It's like "background for [my name here]", "oh yeah, that guy again".

thank you guys for "congrats!" and its nice that we got many approvals yesterday!

and

BrazilianXuXu,

you dont have to say sorry. i can imagine how you feel when you see approvals for people who filed after you.

its too heartbreaking and frustrating.

there was a couple who filed on january08 and rfe-ed and approved on august.

and there was a couple who got approved on their 110th day from their noa1 although the average date was around 140.

not fair but we can't do anything with this.

but please remember that you are NOT the only one who's waiting on noa2 more than average.

Do you think that the fact that Adriano was in in the US on a J1 visa, then.....?

---

it could delay the processing time but never be the reason to decline your application.

dont worry. he stayed in the us legally. the one who authorized him to get many types of visa is the us government. your fiance did nothing wrong.

so your noa2 must come sooner or later :thumbs:

i hope my english is okay. my fiance sometimes doesnt get what i want to say. have to study more!
