Shannon Nick, how did you get your medical so quick? Did you call to set it up? is this possible? ohh sorry just getting so excited

Yes, I called NVC and got our new receipt number (as ppl have said, talk to a human - the info isn't on the automated system) - then I called DOS directly and doubled checked we weren't in AP. They confirmed what NVC said, that our application was sent to London on Friday. Since we had the new receipt number from NVC, Nick called and scheduled his medical. :)

I am so excited!!! :dance:

I hesitate to be to sickeningly happy tho.... I do feel SOOOOOO bad for those that haven't gotten their NOA2 yet, the approval system is so unfair - in that it is NOT done in order. We'll all get there tho! :thumbs:

USCIS initiates I-129F processing in the order they are received but they don't all get adjudicated in order - nor do I think any of us would want that. A FIFO (first in first out) system would require all of us to wait for those I-129Fs that require extra processing time to be completed before we could get our approvals. It would be an impossible system to manage. Imagine someone getting an RFE and taking 3 months to respond...we'd all have for that I-129F to be completed before we could get approved. No, it's definitely not FIFO - it's more fair than that. Generally, however, the I-129Fs are approved in the order they are received...think about it. All of us with approximately the same NOA1 dates are getting approved at approximately the same time. It's clearly as fair a process as it can possibly be. :)

whoops, let me clarify what I meant :)

I do think they should be processed in order. I do think that each case should be looked at in the order they are received. If someone gets an RFE, that file should then be set aside to wait for the needed info - and the adjudicator can then move on to the next case that was rec'd and start processing that one. When the needed RFE info arrives the adjudicator should return to the file and finish processing it, imho.

While I am THRILLED we got our approval and have moved further on in the system I would have rather seen my approval come when it is my turn. I think that all of the April, May and June filers should have had attention to their case in some way before mine. Just as I would have appreciated our case being taken care of before the August filers that had been approved.

Next time you address me, please steer clear of phrases such as "think about it" and "clearly" as they appear to be condescending and I do not appreciate that. We each have our opinions, please allow me to voice mine without feeling the need to "correct" me. Thanks :)

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Dear Uscis

Look I like you guys but i think your slow, I realize Mr andy got high on eggnog and then when Miss Dana swung off the chandeler she broke her arm. I understand that, but I want my NOA2. IF you could PLEASE unfold it from making the paper airplane that was shot off the 34th floor and into Mrs dumbas front room window (mind you GIVING HER A SEVERE PANIC ATTACK) I would appreciate it.

Sincerely

A fustrated NOA1 July filer

PS PLEASE make sure the smeared chocolate on my form does NOT cover my new number!!

Dear Madam,

As a point of note our name is USless it changed recently after it was found we are unable to function in any kind of reasonable time frame.

I'm sorry our Xmas party interfered with YOUR life but we don't really care. We still get paid no matter what.

We may get round to approving whatever it is you applied for sometime in the future, I'm sorry I cant be more specific but that would spoil the spirit of Xmas.

Have a great day

Mr B. happy
