[AUS2USA 0]

From the looks of it, 4-5 weeks . I'm not getting my hopes up though, as hard as that is

[sachinky 465]

God, this waiting is so damned difficult. Good to have company though! =)

Tell me about it. I've been the through the worst of it in the past week I think. I contracted bi-polar haha. But yeah, I have been keeping myself SO busy today though! The news of people getting their NOA2 in 4-5 weeks has definitely put a spring in my step, but as I said, I'm not going to hold my breath!

To make matters worse, a friend of ours from Australia (Her bridesmaid) landed in California today, and so they're spending the day at Disneyland and all sorts of funness... Ah well, house work for me =)

[sachinky 465]

Haha. Have fun with the chores. I need to get a life. I am spending all my free time either on the USCIS webpage or here on VJ. Maybe I should get a headstart on the next step in the process -- what are the documents I should have in hand for the NVC phase of this long journey?

Yeah the chores were great! Chopped down a couple of dangerous trees and helped a buddy move house! Not the whole house, just the furniture hahaha

From my understanding (which isn't much), once you pass the NOA2, the consulate will send out DS230 + DS2001 to the beneficiary. So yeah, get em done! Careful to read the instructions as per usual. I think it was the DS230 that you DON'T sign the second page. meh, i'm sure you'll be fine haha

I hate life at the moment

AUS2USA, I love your picture every time I see it I smile. I just filled out and sent my husband a copy of the DS-230 Part 1 & 2 for him to look over and fill in the parts about his education so we can start to get ready for the NVC. You can find these forms online. I found them at travel.state.gov

Hello friends.

I am not complaining , but how come CSC approves applications out of order, like ppl are still waiting who filed in august or july and some of september filers are getting approval.???

By the way i got my NOA1 on september 4 th, and waiting.

I think they approve cases depending on embassy/consulate workload. If the USEM is going fast then you will get approved fast at service center, maybe, i could be wrong.

I filed CR-1 for my wife and I have 3 months old daughter in pakistan , who i havent seen in person.

I am planning a trip in JAN 2010 to go there and file her CBRA or CRBA whatever that is. By the way anyone knows how that process works and how long it takes? is it like really time consuming process??

thanks.

What's USEM?

Also, where does one see the "touches" I notice people referring to?

Keep the faith, Waiter. There's nothing we can do but wait.

hey sachinky.

USEM is US Embassy

after you get your NOA1 and register an account with USCIS. you add your NOA1 number to your portfolio. and when the column "last updated" change, you know you got a "touch" (hope i explained it well?.... )

i know waiting is hard. i am not good at waiting. this whole immigration process is teaching me how to be patient

keep the faith guys

Hey there! This article should provide some insight about the wait period. I read this a couple of weeks before, pretty informative.

The new USCIS site doesn't seem to have the 'last updated' section. Unless a touch now means foinh from 'initial interview' to 'evidence required' etc?

i think your looking at case status in order to see your "touches", sign up here for online case status updates https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/termscondi...ntextType=CU_EN and you add you WAC# to your portfolio and then once you login the "last updated" date tells you the last time your file was accessed (touched), once you have registered here's a link to the login page https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/login.jsp
