Where the heck is my NOA2

[cchhat01 14]

My mind is a mess.

Ever since I started seeing people with NOA1s in May getting approved, I have been glued to Igor's list and the USCIS status page like a magnet.

Its having a detrimental effect on me. It is testing my patience so badly.

I'm having trouble concentrating on anything else. I am longing to get this petition approved so that we can move on to the next stage at the embassy and then get my fiancee here.

It is frustrating beyond imagination and I just don't know how long I can go on being unnerved like this.

VSC: I filed my petition and gave you all the info you need to approve my petition. Its all in there. All you need to do is look at it.

PLEASE LOOK AT IT!

End Rant.

I keep telling myself to hang in there and that its just around the corner. If not today, then tomorrow. The collection of gray on my head has significantly increased since starting this process.

Please restore some sanity and bring things back to reality for me VSC. Kindly approve my petition.

Sorry for the open-ended rant.

It'll come and It's not worth having grey hairs. You need to stay young for your fiance (atleast till you get married) . Use this time to prepare all the documents that you will need for next steps. Obtaining certain documents in India is time and energy consuming. -- Just a thought. Hang in there.

My Fiancée went to Nepal to learn meditation. My hair is still grey.

Deeeeep Breaths......It'll happen!

Hey there...I know it's tough. I'm in the same position. May Filer awaiting my NOA 2. It's in God's hands now. So smile today, someone loves you and is willing to do what it takes to be with you. You're going to be ok. HUGS!

Hang in there. It is a long stressful process but you're getting close. Set the email and text message alerts on the USCIS page and try to restrain yourself from checking more than once a day. It will come soon. And don't let it give you grey hairs. That's your future wife's job

I'm sure it's just around the corner! Keep your chin up!

Chigs, I feel your pain. I too, am obsessed with this process. I have dyed my hair alot since May. LOL I cannot stop checking VJ, Igors list or USCIS website and phone. I cannot think of anything else in life. I just want to be with my husband.

I too have sent in everything and checked it all 3 times before sending it. They have an easy task. Just grab my file, check it quick (it is all there-family pics, emails, letters, snail mail, phone bills, forms, coverletter, credit card bill with both names, license, translations....), and send me my approval so I can feel some relief for a short time till NVC starts. I am ready for NVC. I have all the documents signed, prepared, organized, envelope ready....Just freaking send me my approval already. You cashed my check pretty dang quick, now earn your pay and give me what I paid for. I paid for your attention, your processing and your approval....NOW!!!! If I buy a heart transplant i do not wanna wait 6-18 months for it. I want it when i pay for it. My husband is my heart and I need him.

I know I have only been waiting 3 months but it is the 3 longest months of my life.

Good Luck

I am already on it..

Already had my fiancee get the Passport Clearance stamp.

The Police Clearance Certificate will also be done soon (only a matter of days now).

I already requested the past 3 years tax transcripts and are ready to be sent to my fiancee once the NOA2 comes.

I get electronic pay stubs so i can just send three of the most recent ones before the interview (once we know the date).

I already asked my fiancee to look at the Mumbai visa checklist document to make sure she gathers all the necessary information.

I already sent her the copy of the entire I-129F packet.

Only thing I need to do is actually fill in the I-134 Affidavit of Support.

I am on the ball when it comes to getting things done. Apparently, VSC is just holding me up.

Thank you for the kind words.

Oh god no... i completely forgot about that part of my life... lol... j/k... I think I'm ready for that because atleast we will be together. More than anything, we will be there for each other. So, I'm hanging in there...

I'm sure it's just around the corner! Keep your chin up!

Chin lifted up for the time being

Wow. Your packet is so similar to mine. I had snail mail, too And you seem to feel the exact same way I do.. It a pity that this process is so tedious. Even more so for those who have already married.

Hang in there...

I know how you feel... mine was accepted on April 12 and I've been waiting for NOA2 ever since, checking status daily. Today, the online status changed to RFE! But I don't have the letter yet and I have to go away for vacation in a couple days... now I'm really freaked out.

Chigs, if we were not neurotic before then we will be soon!! I really hope you get yours soon. You two make a beautiful couple. Good luck with everything and I hope you are together soon.

Be prepared to wait the maximum amount of time listed on the processing pages.

Find a hobby or keep your mind busy doing something quick. You don't want this to lead you into depression. Trust me, I had a bout with this about a month and a half ago. It's NOT fun at all.

I understand your pain, I truly do, but if you want to keep yourself sane and healthy you'll find something to keep your mind busy.

I also want to warn you. Your a K-1 Visa applicant. If they find any doubt in your petition( I hope they don't) you can be put on A.P.= more wait time. Be prepared for it.

I found that knowing all aspects of this process helped me cope with the grief I had.

I wish you all the best.

I looked at your timelime and everything is happening very quickly for you my friend. You received your NOA2 within 2.5 months. And already done with NVC at month 4...If mine would go that quick I think I would be in heaven!

Yes it is. Still in the early phases of USCIS there was a lot of gray area. This is what really bothered me.

Right now I am waiting for the interview date, but I have found my coping mechanisms from my earlier bout.

I also use the fact that this is the longest separation I will have with my wife (god willing) and we have a lifetime ahead together. I can't wait for these days.

[cchhat01 14]

Dave,

I know where you're coming from and I understand what you mean but its one thing being approved in less than 2.5 months and then telling someone else to cope with possibly waiting out 5 months. At the time of my filing the I-129F petition, I was prepared to wait 6 months because at that time, it looked as if it would take 6 months for me to get approval. It was really looking grim. However, a month back, VSC really started chugging along. And I got pumped when they started approving April petitions. I understand that you're month of bout made you stronger and you learned to keep yourself busy. I do that myself as well. Keep myself occupied that is. Its difficult bro. Times are testing. Don't Patronize me, Bro (i mean that jokingly with the "Don't tax me, bro" reference).

Being that you're going through CR1, your added buffer gets utilized at the NVC. But you already knew that ahead of time.

I don't think there are any "A.P." flags in my petition. In fact, our mumbai residences fall under the same PIN CODE. Its a very simple case of "Boy Meets Girl."

I wouldn't be so frustrated if folks with NOA1 in MAY weren't getting approved. I am happy for them, but somehow, I can't help but feel brushed aside.

You give good advice, but I can't do much but vent my frustration. I'm sure others in the April boat at VSC feel the same as I do.

Also, CSC folks have everything going their way (except maybe the slowdown in sending the approved petitions to the NVC as of late)... food for thought.

Chigs.
