Any February 2012 filers?

[X Factor 1,111]

I have "read" differently some people even say past midnight they get them but then again I heard as early as 10PM CST.... but who know when we get our emails

Exactly - it's just anybody guess

I know we have been approved, but when will they e-mail us?

Thanks for the reply btw

Hey Aaron and Zaruhi,

Congratulations on your NOA2!!!

Same thing happened for us, we didn't get an email or text like the NOA2 but 4 days later the NOA2 hard copy was in the mail.

What does it say?? Have you been approved? Because it says, on .../July/2012, we mailed you a notification telling you this petition was approved...

If it has been approved, then wait for the NOA2 hard copy in the mail. Don't worry about it, its fine.

Congrats Scott76. My NOA2 is around the same time, so should tell my fiance to call NVC to find out if We have a number yet. What is the number to call?? Thanks

I hope everyone gets their approvals very soon because the wait is not so easy for anyone. Goodluck to us all at whatever step of the process we are at.

Your fear is true! I think CSC employees must be so happy about being faster than VSC that they have totally forgotten about sending the approved petitions to NVC the average now is above 25

Oh no! above 25 days? Phew.. awaiting moment still continue

The weirdest thing is my fiance (petitioner) still get no text or email notification from USCIS, though he included the notification form along with our application. Luckily I have account on USCIS and marked option for send me alert on my email. That is where I found out we are approved.

Must be a budget cut CSC probably letting it stack up till they fill a truck up before sending them. Its cheaper for them.

Lol probably they feel too tired and wasting times to work back and forth to send one by one ..or logically dozens to hundreds after the application has been approved. I wonder, what truck are they using to send out our applications to NVC? Haha

Oh my - CSC rock! My NOA1 is Feb 8 and nothing. ConGraTuLaTions

Yes, CSC rocks! They actually had a typo error on my first NOA, I thought it would make it longer to process but it didnt even reach the 5th month before I had NOA2!

Thanks! =]

Congrats, hope ur next step even faster, and give some of ur luck to me

Yeah Sheryl you'll have yours soon =] just think positively and don't give up. Thanks!

Hi, congrats on NVC!!! Did you have a "touch" indidcated on your USCIS case on or around the day NVC received your file? Still no file at NVC for us...Call today and they recommended emailing them, so I did that.

Just called NVC again at 7am EST--they said that they had received our file (FINALLY--23 days since NOA2)but did not process it at all yet and there was no NVC case number yet. But, they also said that it would be 20 business days until our file would be processed and we'd receive a NVC case number? Can 20 business days possibly be true??? That would be over 40 days from our NOA2 date. Have any Feb filers out there successfully received their NVC case number yet??

Yes I miss her too. back when we were just 4-5 on this thread her posts used to crack me up. I hope she is doing okay.

Back to VSC, not THIS is how a service center should work. Keep it up VSC! you rock!

[KTandTommy 31]

Congrats to all the NOA2s

I was just thinking about Joy yesterday... I totally get needing a break though. Hopefully she'll come back and update once she gets her NOA2

I guess VSC finally got tired of being out-performed by CSC or something...whatever it is, I like how they're pumping out the NOA2s now!

[Bryan and Isabel 29]

were there any approvals today out of VSC?

1 so far. NOA1 was 1/23, so they're still working on January petitions.

WOW, 23 days? I don't think the NVC processing itself is going to take 20 days! They don't really do anything! Just look at these timelines and you can see that it is usually taking 3-4 days:

K1 Visa Timeline (scroll down to see the NVC dates...see the next pages as well )

of course, I am really happy for having our petition approved, and I wish the same thing to all of you my friends. But, you'd think that getting NOA2 is the end of this frustrating game, but it is just the start of another waiting game
