Just an update. My fiancee waited for me to get back from work and we beleive we got to the bottom of this.

Before we called USCIS I called the NVC to see if they have out case. They do not. Therefore, USCIS must still have it.

My faincee then called them, spoke to another agent who said they will be sending the NOA2 notification next week. As you can probably understand our frustrastion and lies, we did not beleive any of this, so we asked the agent if we can speak to the supervisor.

After 15min of waiting, we finally got hold of a supervisior. Very nice and articulate person. This is what they had to say about our case:

  • The reason why we having misleading information from other agents is because they have been outsourcing their workload and thus a line of miscommuncation has occured with our case, which he did apologise for.
  • Our case was delayed because they needed to have some police background checks on my fiancee (long story short, both parents in prison and now adopted)
  • Should get the NOA2 around end of December or beginning of January. If not then call back around 3rd January.
  • They charge my fiancee $170 not because of resending my packet 3 letter, because the agents thought she wanted a copy of the police check (?!?!?!). She will be given a full refund.
  • The WAC/EAC number the agent gave us was incorrect. Should be getting another copy of our NOA1 soon.

Well, at least this story kinda makes sense. Not the good news we were expecting, but hey at least we know where we stand if this story doesn't turn out to be yet another lie. So just have to continue playing the waiting game.

In other news got some more bad news. The chemothrapy fluid in her brain has not gone down enough for the doctors to aloow her to fly over. My family are giving me the emotional blackmail of spending the last xmas with my family (and my sister is gonna give birth to another child on Christmas Day), so really torn on flying over there. I think I will in the end, they have to realise that I have my responsbilities now. She is my family too. Besides I have not seen her for 7 months now, and she will probably need surgery to remove this fluid.

*headshake* This is just _insane_ the way they keep jerking you guys around. Good luck, man!

GUYSSSSSSS I CAN'T BELIEVE MYSELF IT FINALLY HAPPENED AND I GOT ITTTTTTTTTTTT. IT HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO AND I WASN'T EVEN AWARE. I WAS LOSING HOPE TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS JUST NOT CHECKING USCIS ANYMORE. AND I GOT NO EMAILS AND I PUT IN MY RECEIPT NUMBER TODAY AND IT SAID I WAS APPROVED ON DEC. 10TH. I WAS IN SCHOCK. I WAS SERIOUSLY SOO DEPRESSED BUT THANK GOD. GOD IS GREAT.

THANKS SOOOOO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. I COULDN'T HAVE KEPT MY SANITY THROUGH THIS W/O THE SUPPORT OF YOU ALL. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND I WISH YOU ALL ALL THE BEST :) :) :)

Just an update. Still no word of NOA2 or change in status online. Our service request deadline is December 20th so if no answer by then we'll call again. I really wonder what could be the holdup. 216 days of waiting and counting.

I just got mine Dec. 10th after I was losing hope too. I got my congressman involved and two service requests until it finally happened. It's gonna come, no worries! Keep your faith and keep us updated!

Thanks a lot Brock. I was just reading your post. I hope this mess gets settled down pretty soon. Just be patient and have faith.

BTW, you do a service request by calling USCIS. They usually let you do it if you are outside normal processing times, like I was. Call and see if you can do it. Good luck with everything!

Thanks so much guys. I still can't believe it. I checked the website 100 times to make sure that what I read was really correct :D

I guess the hardest part is over. Again, I couldn't have done it without you all :)
