Murphy's "law" is, in fact, an adage, or just something "people say." Wouldn't count on it too much.

I highly doubt September '12 filers will wait until September '13 to receive an NOA2. The dam will burst soon and the approvals are bound to begin pouring in.

I too am hoping/expecting that NOA2 would be before September 2013.

But, NOA2 is not the visa. The visa takes more time.

So, if NOA2 does not come until July, a visa in September seems reasonable.

If, say, the absolute worst case non-RFE scenario were to happen and there was a full eight-month wait, you'd get the NOA2 in May, and the interview in July. Yes, I see how you are trying to make a preemptive strike against this.

If I were in your situation, for me it would come down to how much risk I was willing to take on. I would probably begin the Uzbekistan visa process immediately. After all, if you did apply for the visa today and she got the NOA2 tomorrow, what would the disadvantage be? You'd be able to fly there and be with her during the interview.

Endlessly reloading the USCIS webpage has finally paid off!

On March 26, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice.

I'm so happy I'm in tears. I just can't decide if I should wake Michelle up. She just went to bed an hour ago....I'm waking her up.

OK my fellow CSC September filers, how often do you get to visit with you fiance(e)?

My last visit was in January. At the time, I was expecting to obtain the NOA2 during the second half of February. That would have given us March (and maybe April) for the embassy part of the process with the visa granted by then end of April. Then, I could bring her to me in May. That was the plan. Now, of course, who knows?

But, now there is a new problem. Should we just wait, or should I arrange for another visit? For us, this is not a trivial matter. To visit her in Uzbekistan, I need a visa which typically takes about two months to obtain. And, to obtain the visa I need evidence of paid round trip airfare. So, a tourist visa for me is not a trivial issue in terms of time and expense.

If we September folks are certain that it will not be until next September for our visa approval, then I would arrange for my next visit right now. But, there is no certainty. Murphy's Law (the most powerful force in the universe) would guarantee that NOA2 would occur once I pay for my airfare and tourist visa (unless, of course, I try to use this system as a way of speeding up the NOA2's arrival).

It's the any day now nature that complicates this. Do we wait, potentially a year or more, before we are together again? Or, do we plan for me to visit anyway?

Any of you face a similar quandary? What are you doing?

I/we are in the same situation. I was trying to visit every 3 months and just came back March 4. I wasn't planning on returning until the interview is scheduled. For now, I think my only choice is to sit and wait. I only have so much vacation time and resources to visit. Maybe if it takes too long I can have an extended stay and she can come back on the plane with me, just trying to look at the bright side.

Sure if the amount of time gets too crazy I will go back and visit regardless.

Journey so far:

Did you file a change of address? If not, it's probably just a clerical error.

Perhaps it's really your NOA2?

Might be time for a call.
