[sara80 17]

I decided to call the NVC in the high hopes that our petition would be in their system given it was mailed from CSC on Thursday. They had it!! We have our London number!

Yey!!!

only read it just now so I just asked my fiance to phone up tmrw morning.. fingers crossed!!

Sabi, your fiance sounds exactly like mine! I had to send him detailed emails about what to do etc, plus "business" skype calls to go thro forms...!!!

Last sunday he was filling in the I-134 and he was shocked when I told him he had to send it by slow mail.. he asked me if I could just copy his signature! No way! Dont want to jeopardise my visa to save some money on a stamp! and he told me once I'm there I'll be taking care of all the paperwork, bills etc.. LOL

My fiance is the same He just asks okay what to do now? I typed emails for him and he just corrected grammar and sent it to embassy, congressman hahah

He is very organized though but likes to keep me busy otherwise I would go nuts (i am very emotional)

OH wow. That is terrible. All this time...well, someone touched your file and it isn't lost.....but that is a major bummer. Hope it's something simple! And, it's not a denial I know it doesn't help much to hear it, but at least you should be able to take care of it soon and get back in the line.

Let us know what it's for when you get the letter!

I keep thinking about meeting all of you and how for it to actually happen, we might have to wait like a year with the way things are going!!! Otherwise there will still be folks stuck in other countries....crazy. So many of you out there with no NOA2s yet... I will be starting a series of attempts to contact the embassy here in Honduras tomorrow. They said to give them 5 to 7 days to respond to emails--I sent one with the request for the interview after sending one with several questions about what to do next since it is not outlined anywhere. That was last week. STill nothing. So since they only receive calls on Mondays and Wednesdays for an hour and a half, tomorrow will be the start.....from all the info I can gather, if you don't call them incessantly, you wait at least 2 to 3 months just for a date that is then another month or two later. So I am going into attack mode here! If that doesn't work, I will take the bus 5 hours down there with some homemade cookies or pie or something and show up at their 10 am receiving hour! LOL

Phone is always busy :/ tried calling 3 days (2x last week and this Monday) and no one ever answers. If you wait for the operator, she just transfers to the number that is always busy. A complete idiotic move. I sent them 2 emails. Just gonna bombard them with emails!

Oh joy...........and they say that more emails about the same thing slows them down (says their site!) hahahahahaha....seriously, a trip to get the police certs. and to deliver treats may be in order! LOL. okay---it's FINALLY raining here and thundering, so i better get off---hope you get some rain in SPS, too! We already had summer so this second round is a bit much....

Our NOA1 was January 27th too! We received our RFE email July 5th... I hope it is something simple for you guys (keeping fingers crossed)...reply to them as soon as you receive your snail-mailed copy...

We sent ours back via overnight USPS so we had a tracking nbr and a signature receipt. I even know the time of day that it was signed for.

I am kind of hoping that since it took them so long to send out our RFE's that they will process the "additional evidence" quickly!

Hopefully Vermont will approve some of our petitions tomorrow. Terrible day today for VJ users. CSC was really pumping the K1s out. very disappointing. It's crazy to look at Igors list now and see the number of pending petitions. Especially for February. I wonder if Vermont will end up sending some petitions to Cali..The backlog is immense.

Something has to happen. I looked today and there are still a few petitions around mine that haven't been touched. And one was denied. I don't think I've seen a denial of a K1 before, especially since that petition hadn't gotten an RFE (at least not when I last checked last week).

My fiancee sara80 is an opposite one. he seemed to be more meticulous than me when it come to paperwork and now he sent me everything he has forwarded to USCIS even if i already have the copy..just to make sure for my interview:).i told him before(in a joke), once i get there i want to rest for a while and depend on him coz i'm a bit tired of being the father of my family hehe..

Oh wow, that sucks Hopefully it's something easy to fix.

Man.. so far it hasn't been a good week at all... I was so sure that we would see some movement because of people hitting the 6 month mark. This is crazy

But it is not over yet! The rest of the week will be awesome! They absolutely have to start working at some point!!

I can't understand what is going on but there are so many RFEs coming out. So sorry for everyone that got an RFE. Hope they can approve you quickly, so you can get on to the next stage...

Goodluck.

My fiance called NVC on Monday and we got our number and the package is on its way to the embassy. But I feel bad about all the people who have not got their NOA2s and are getting RFEs. I hope everything works out soon. For everyone here. Praying for all of us. God see us through this hard time and trying journey. But one day we will look back on these days and smile...Soon enough people
