September filer with the blues.......?

[Rodrique 3]

Does anyone here other than me have the September blues.......?

I received my NOA-1 dated Sept. 23, 2011 and have not had a touch in my case. What is going on at the CSC.......?

50 days and nothing reported at all. Is CSC really that far behind.......? Can anyone shed some light on this as to why VSC is pumping out completed I-130's like cookies on an assemly line and CSC is gasping for air. Has anyone else here filed with a date close to mine and have had no action taken on their case yet?

Well, not in your situation currently,but we waited nearly 5 months with no touches. Our case did not even show up online until we were approved. Plan on 4 to 5 months at least.

Seriously - touches mean nothing. Don't worry yourself about them. Lots of people never see their case touched before approval.

Hang in there. I was nearly in your shoes this time last year. My (now) wife and I had sent off our K1 application in July - got our NOA1 right away, but didn't get our NOA2 until... I think January or late December. We lost nearly a month because the Embassy didn't send her the interview package - but we were able to assemble the documents ourselves and schedule the interview. One thing that helped us cope was to try to prepare for the next step. We both got our papers in order. She had her important documents translated and got her medical exam. We had all the forms filled our (just lacking date and signature because we were waiting for word from the embassy). If you ever truly feel like the process is taking too long you can always call the USCIS. I usually would say something like "Hi I just wanted to see if there was anything else you needed or anything I can provide to move the case along faster" and they were able to tell me "Oh no, we dont' need anything, it looks like everything is in order and your case is due for approval within the next 2 weeks" or something like that.

A female friend of mine compared it to having a baby. She said "it hurts at the time, but once it's over you're so happy that you instantly forget the pain"

Good Luck!

My husband filed on august 24 and received NOA1 on september 1, we had a "touch" on september 6, but anything till now...I am relly preparing to wait more than we have expected, so hopefully we can keep in touch! I think that maybe we could get our NOA2 whithin this month...I don't know. My husband also thinks that the holidays should speed up their work a little, but other people just think it will slow down. So let's just cross our fingers and pray that all the couples that have been missing their spouses very much can finally get NOA2 and have their cases moving faster!!! Good luck to all of us!!!
