I truly hope you get your noa2 right away... this is beyond ridiculous. Sounds like a good plan to meet in Canada... it will be good to see each other again!

Thank you... yes.. it is way beyond ridiculous. There have been several other calls to them in between that have gone nowhere and I haven't even mentioned them here, but the most recent infopass meetings have finally unravelled everything and this supervisor has been able to show how it all looks in the system. He was getting pretty angry at the fact that we still hadn't received our case number etc - without that we've had no real identity; so he's followed through and said if we don't have something in a few days we are to contact him but from the meeting it sounded like things were finally going to happen. I'm just hoping he's given them further recommendations. :unsure:

Yes it will be SO GREAT!! to see each other again... talking for around 2hrs each day is one thing, but we are both so much happier now we have plans to get some time together. Just got to find some flights that will work..

Mar 2011 - After 5mths denied for lost docs - Attempts to follow up failed. Mar 18 2012 - I-129F sent - No sign of NOA1 but they have banked the check...Jul 24 - Update - USCIS has located our file
Infopass Apt - they sorted through everything - our 2011 and 2012 file keep getting mixed up - getting us a Case# (still waiting) Dec- Infopass Appt- expecting to get a case # in about a week ..Still no Case number
Mar 2013 Infopass - advised file was in a box somewhere,and it would be quicker for us to refile. Life gets in the way... New petition submitted July 2014 .

UGH! Stop. At the risk of being flamed by everyone, and being a visajourney member myself, I still have to ask if you guys could keep this stuff offline and off the forum? This can't be the only way y

I can only imagine the dread that April and May filers must be thinking. The same things we did when we saw February people waiting 200 days. The denial... "Oh, surely they will catch up by us?" or th

In honor of the amazing super fast VSC rep holding our case hostage, I've written a poem. It is to the tune of "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch". I call it, "Ode to Mister Sloth". You're a slow one,

It is so sad when some of us get left behind and thrown into a random stack that USCIS refuses to look at. I also have been waiting a long time to get the approval and have found that calling immigration and opening service requests are completely useless. Currently I am at the mercy of an immigration lawyer that is trying to get my paperwork moving because ICE decided to freeze my file.

Yes it just feels so hopeless at times. I feel the same for you... Most of the time you just get the standard answers, even from Tier 2's. There are no reasons... no answers - we have thought we had everything put on track several times - they seemed to understand and be taking control, but then nothing happened after that. You try to be patient to give them time to process everything and later find out its all just back in the heap. Does your lawyer seem to be getting things moving?

Yes.. so we've had our file looked at by them finding it by names - in the end it was in four or five different places in their system. We are supposed to be getting a number ... how hard can that be???

I'm hoping that they might hurry up after that - each supervisor that we've spoken to says we have provided everything - there is nothing missing, nothing else we need to send. Maybe they will keep processing it once they give us a number and see how long we have been waiting - but I'm trying not to be too hopeful.

She had an info pass meeting the other day and i have not heard anything yet and she has several business contacts that work for ice making inquiries as well. I know this all takes time but i am so tired of waiting but i a sure she will get things on track. My fiance and i have not seen each other for 14 months now what agony.

This process can be so cruel... it takes a lot to keep hanging on when you haven't seen each other in so long. We have now been apart for 2 years so I understand how difficult it is. I'm really hoping for the best for you.. it tests every strength I know. I think that you must be almost there now so hang on .. you deserve for it to all work out (F)
