Greeting to Everyone...

After waiting 5 long months for NOA2 I contacted the USCIS. Reply is like this "Your case is currently under review. You should receive a decision or notice of other action within 60 days of the date of this letter."

What exactly should I read here?

TIA.

Rok, it only means your process is going through the slow churning motions of immigration. It is not bad news, other than you have to sit tight and wait....

I know WAITING is not fun but most important thing you have to remember is: 5 months is general time frame....Honestly, I dont know the timeframe for NOA1 @ VSC at this time....Seems little bit slower than when I was at the same stage....

It seems you already put the SERVICE request and USCIS got back to you to wait 60 more days for the further action. thats the genetic email. You might hear way sooner than that time frame....but around 6 months might be more practical time frame to get NOA1......

goog luck.....

Sorry to hear....Most of the time we can't do anything beside WAITING...the process really tests our PATIENCE...but try to talk to Tier 2, you might get different result.....

Good luck....

Strange how that information is on the DHS site and not the USCIS. Thank you for the link. That would have been very helpful had I known about it months ago before I joined this site. I have seen several people mention the Tier 2 rep on VJ, but I never knew how or where they ever found out about it...I just assumed through experience. I'll definitely try that out.

I have contacted my Representative's office (Brian Higgins) three times now, and have received no relevant help.

I have contacted one of my Senators, Charles Schumer, and his office hasn't done anything for me at all, which surprises me a little, because he is an attention hound and loves to get his face plastered all over the place.

I did get the 60 more days notice from the service request...29 days left on that. But, I'll still call for this tier 2 soon, maybe tonight.

I'm getting worried...my wife is from Venezuela, and rumor has it Hugo Chavez is end stage cancer, giving him roughly 2 months. The problem with that is, if and when he passes, there is significant likelihood that the military will take control and close down the borders. That would be disastrous all the way around if she gets stuck there. Of course, I can't get an expedite based on rumors or even speculation of events unfolding from his predicted passing.

Anyhow, thanks again for the info!

I am fully aware that its really hard to be postive when things keep going other way....I can see that you already did all measures that you can do...contacting your Senators, representative.....just want to put my 2 cents advise...Believe me your time frame is not OFF the chart...I personally believe you wil hear from USCIS very soon if there is no red flags...and if you are in normal process time ( I am talking about Practical time frame not per the official USCIS website) Senators and other people cant affect the outcome in the process....

Looking forward to see your happy post about NOA2...best of luck... :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
