Hello All,

I just called UCIS yesterday for the first time and was hoping to hear something different than JUNE 16th. But to

My disappointment, it was again said that they are working on June 16th cases and they may take up to two months to get to my case, which is July 18th.

My question is that did anyone recently get an NOA2 ? Because calling them n trying to find out progess is

pointless, so I thought maybe you all can help me make my own time line as to when they'll reach July 18 :(

Thank you all for your time!

Thanks for the kind words:)

And yes, I've been trying to get a hold of VJ stuff and wasn't sure how to update my timeline. But my sister just explained it to me and I'll be doing it some time today :)

I feel very badly for everyone waiting. I cannot imagine what you are all going thru. I waited 3.5 months or so and I feel that was torture so I cannot imagine people at 5, 6, 12 months right now.

Please do not lose hope ever!

I am praying all NOA2 come that are over 5 months this week....Just keep hoping, wishing and praying and it will come.

Don't ever lose hope! We've been waiting on our NOA2 for over a year, and I'm not giving up hope. You love your significant other, and that will get your through this tough time.

Our Love will get us through this. It grows stronger everyday.

Overloaded implies they're actually working on family based visas. The data here on VJ puts doubt on that idea.

Someone just posted that she is at 5.5 months and her congressman told her USCIS lost her petition....

How would someone find out if USCIS lost their petition? I mean, I'm sure we cannot just call them up and harass them about this, since we cannot prove or disprove any statements they make.

The real hard part about the waiting is for those of us who have been waiting longer than that to be with our significant other. I've been waiting since October of 2010. We had one week together last August (I went to Moscow), but other than that It's only been phone calls, Skype, SMS messages, and e-mails.

ARE YOU SERIOUS!? Over 1 YEAR?! this is outrageous. Someone needs to be calling senators and the president!

Don't ever do anything you're not willing to explain the paramedics.
