May 2011 Filers

[Team Katman 9]

There is more than one officer working on the Visas, and some may be faster than others at getting through their piles, some may have more visas that need AP or RFE, and some may be lucky to get through really quick, they also do not complete them in the order they come in. Some visas need to be sent to another desk, so if you see a touch but no NOA2 it's gone to someone else's desk, maybe for RFE, maybe not, but to say that means they have processed till May 18 seems an illogical leap. A to the accuracy of the stats, they are only a snapshot of what people actually put in their timelines, if someone doensn't update their timeline, and there are a lot that don't, then they will skew the results. VJ is only a very small percentage (3%?) of people filing for K1, a lot of people file without even hearing about this site. As to if you will be processed close to the date that was suggested for you.... The March filers seemed to be within a day or two, most before they were told it would be by the stats, myself included.

Wanted to let you all know that my case went to NVC on Jul8, and out to the embassy on Jul9, so now I'm stalking DHL to see if or when it arrives at the embassy. Packet 3 going out as soon as they get it!

That's awesome!!! Yay!!!

We're getting excited, as of yesterday Vermont starts approving May petitions.... Good luck and God bless.

Yay!!! That is such good news, I'm starting to feel hopeful. Good luck to us all!

Hey fam!!! How's yall's weekend??? Mine was okay, been helping ny girls with reviewing and art projects. They'll have another sets if exams in 2 days. And my baby has been calling the nvc but were told "case not found" I assume that it means our petition hasn't arrived n nvc yet huh?

Me too Miss my sweetie. So many killings around my baby today when I woke up. I feel sick to my stomach about it. Syria and Iraq...the world is nuts! I want him HERE NOW! My trip it toward the end of September, but still...I'm nervous about that too. I will be going regardless. I miss him SO MUCH! I'm praying for peace there....and for my honey and his family to stay safe. Turkey to stay a peaceful country!

Yes...cmon VSC dammit!

Sabrina.... I'll be praying for Tolga and his country too. I know what you mean. The world is crazy. Everytime I hear something about the Red shirts in Thailand, I get nervous because Chiang Mai is red shirt target.

Trying to understand the data I am seeing here on VJ.

The trends for CSC show now processing June 4^th.

The Igor list of CSC shows less than 60% of the May filers are approved.

That puts them around completion of processing as May 18^th filers.

Does that mean it takes an average of 17 days from start to finish for an approval? Or does it mean that the stats are incorrect?

That's too mathematical for my brain

LOL! I'm more than ready for this wait to be over !!!

ME TOO!! This waiting is making us insane. Literally. Happy one day, angry the next. It sucks

It's good to hear from the March filers that the timeline is pretty correct. I just hope we get lucky and it's early

May the force be with us. I hope we all get approved in August. wishful thinking....

Glad you're doing ok, Ate Britt. Sounds like you're busy~ that's good!

As for me and Ice, we're hanging in there. Ice is studying hard, and I have been working hard, studying how to run hotels (I'm a sales manager, still learning). In my free time I've been filing out all of the DS forms even tho I know we can get them later. And I organized a copy of the petition in a binder with the DS forms, the I-134 stuff, all of the stuff he will need for the interview, and left spots for copies of the medical papers, police certificate and translated documents. I know it's early, but I'm organizing now because my classes for my last year in college start in five days, so when I have full time school and work, I won't have much time for this stuff. It's the calm before the storm....I'm about to do the impossible: full time school (five classes), full time work (40 hours), part time home business (5 hours a week?), plan a wedding AND find an apartment. Wish me luck!!!! And goodluck for us VSC!

hey wat was ur NOA1 date?

[me&him 2]

Hey guys I have a question. I'm sure its been asked before and I apologize before asking. Is it normal to get an approval or rfe without seeing any "touch" on USCIS website. I'm asking because my noa1 date is may 9. After seeing that VSC working on some May files I checked my status and it has not been touched since May 12. I hired a lawyer. This was of course before I found VJ. He did not ask me to submit any proof of meeting in 2 years. After reading many post about getting rfe because of no evidence, I believe I will also get RFE. Just wondering if there is a time limit on when they send RFE after NOA1. Thank u so much in advance for any information I get.

From posts that I've read, some people have gotten an RFE 5 or 6 months after receiving the NOA1... I think it's just whenever USCIS begins adjudicating your application and they see something is missing (or whatever the case may be). That's when they issue an RFE. Have you started gathering evidence of meeting in the last 2 years?

If the proof of visit turns out to be the reason for your RFE, I would be all over that attorney. It is one thing to have a bad judgment call on the quality of proof. Like employment proof, (pay stub, W2 or employment letter).

But to completely miss the 2 year meeting requirement. That is just incompetent.
