What I mean is, why are they allowed to not do our petitions roughly in chronological order? Dealing with a large group later rather than sooner does nothing to lessen the total number of petitions.

VJ is a big help. It's nice to have a group of people who understand the process. After about 4 months of asking when my husband was going to be here, real life friends and family finally decided to b

For those of us July filers who still haven't heard anything while early August filers are starting to get their NOA2s I wonder if we have cases that are considered more complicated and are in a separate queue from the 'easy' petitions.

In my case both my wife and I were previously married and divorced. My petition also includes a step-daughter from my wife's previous marriage.

At this point i'm half expecting to get an RFE for something stupid like not putting N/A in a field I left blank or not having enough evidence of a bonafide marriage.

For those of you July filers who still haven't received a response from USCIS do you have 'complicated' cases as well? I'm just trying to understand why i'm still waiting while others with NOA1 dates after mine have been approved.

We're still waiting (216 days now) and I don't believe there's anything complicated about our case. We have no previous marriages, no children, and no criminal records. So I don't think it works like that... or at least it's not working like that in my case.

USCIS (221 days)
07-13-2011 -- I-130 sent
07-15-2011 -- I-130 NOA1 received in the mail
02-21-2012 -- I-130 NOA2 approved

NVC (26 days)

03-21-2012 -- Case completed at NVC

Consulate (50 days)

213 days since our priority date. We have no outstanding issues I don't think. No records (well he has one but it happened when he was a minor and nothing went to court), no divorces, no kids. Our case was pretty straight forward: we had been communicating since 2006, married in 2010, spent lots of time traveling back and forth to see each other, and now we just want to live together. I'm thinking along the same lines... did I miss a N/A somewhere, did I forget something important (almost forgot to send a copy of our marriage certificate, caught that at the last minute thankfully!)

I prepared a letter for our Hawaiian Congresswoman for an inquiry into our case, but he hasn't sent it yet aaaaaaaaaaaaaahsdfhsjhfsdf

Thanks for your replies. I tend to over think things sometimes and want to know a reason for why things are the way they are. I think in the case of the USCIS there is no way to give reason to how they work.

Good luck to both of you, hopefully we hear something soon!
