You know, the reason coolguy thinks this is probably b/c most people haven't changed their service center in their timeline. The way a lot of us check what's going on with our service center is by che

HI everyone

My husband filed our petition mid Aug, our date was 20th August 2012.

I flew from the US and arrived in Malaysia today, on a short trip home. When I checked my email this morning, I saw an email from USCIS, saying they'd sent out NOA2 and it should arrive at our home address soon. And I almost deleted it coz I thought it was SPAM haha

So very happy about it, because before flying back, I was feeling a little disheartened by the long wait, but a friend of mine helped me go through the documents we should be sending for NVC stage, so now that we're getting the NOA2, we'll be sending the next packet to NVC real soon.

So for those still waiting, do try and call the helpline and ask to speak to a Tier 2 officer, we did that last week and got more info than speaking to the normal CSR you'd get. And don't lose hope, it's disheartening, having to wait but once you get the NOA2, it shouldn't be too long til you get your visa!

Use that time to get all your NVC docs together, thats what I did, and once we got the NOA2, we can put them together and send them all out!

Very sound advise there - use that time to compile the required documents for the next stage so when the ball comes back to your court, you're ready to 'hit back'!!!

Thanks!

I registered to vote in DC but I went to the polling centre just to see in case someone came and voted as me! Glad to know they put a mark on my name, signifying im a postal voter so I'm happy about that.

I'm back alone, but looking fwd to kicking NVC's butt and going home soon :)

I was also told to call NVC instead of waiting for a case number from them as waiting could take as long as 3 weeks. Intend to do that as soon as we get our NOA2 in the mail!

Anyone else got their NOA2 in the mail?

Don't wait for NOA2 to arrive in the mail! idea9dv.gif

(See 2nd post in the NVC thread for details.)

And yes, everyone gets NOA2 hardcopy in the mail. secret7vf.gif

my husband called USCIS yesterday, i told him to speak to a Tier 2 person.

he was told that tier 1 and tier 2 are just the same, that they give the same information.

well anyway, according to that person our case is stil at NBC and the volume of their load

causes the delay. :(

hubby has an infopass at baltimore office scheduled on monday, would it help even our case is still at NBC? or infopass only matters if your case is in the local office?

Wow! Congrats Treva!

I know you've been waiting for this for so long too!

Any advice on what else you've done or waiting is the only option?

It seems I am the only one left here from August filers who hasn't got the NOA2 yet, :(

By the way, it's exactly 10 MONTHS since my hubby filed the petition.
