October 2012 I-130 Filers

My NOA2 was approved on January 2 and we got an email on January 11 from USCIS that they had sent the case to NVC that day. So I am waiting a few days to call them for the first time to see if they have received it.

I need advice guys I got an RFE on Dec 28th. They said they mailed me the letter for RFE. I live in Egypt with my husband now, and the postal office in the country is protesting and not working So I called about 10 days ago the USCIS, and after an hour hold, I talked to an ISO, who told me he could not tell me what is in the letter. So I gave him another address of a friend in the states so they can send it to them. I have not got anything in the mail yet at my friend's address. I called now AGAIN, and a rude lady told kept interrupting me while talking. She said that I just have to wait!! She said that yesterday, the system changed my address!! I did not want to change my address I just wanted to send the freakin' letter to my friend! the lady was so rude to me and said that's all I can help you with. I asked if I can speak to an ISO, she said no, they are having problems. :ranting:

I am so sad I don't know what to do to know what am missing! I am very desperate at this point and starting to hate this process :(

They actually changed my address without my permission as well, about an hour before I did it myself though.

I think in order to send you official paperwork somewhere else than what you listed as your mailing address, they have to change it in the system to be your official mailing address, at least that is what my understanding was. For talking to the ISO, I got the impression that they'd really prefer that people don't use foreign addresses.

I got a NOA2 from Dallas and then another NOA2 from NBC a few days later and that was Dec 20th and they still don't have my case at the NVC

well seems like NBC is screwing with us, I don't understand! ppl that got their approval just a day or two before us have already paid their bills and sent their packages, it's just so frustrating to call and hear the same answer day after day. they should have received our cases by now EVEN with the holidays! I'm relly hoping they do this week

We haven't had much luck calling USCIS either, they're closed by the time hubby gets home from work

hami, I was finally able to speak to an ISO after staying on hold for an hour, she told me that my case was mailed out to NVC and that I should allow the full 30 days for NVC to receive it, asked me to call NVC on tuesday and if they didn't have it call back and talk to an ISO again. just thought I should let you know, give it the full 30 days but don't just sit waiting for it I suggest sending an email to ncsc-customerconnect@uscis.dhs.gov. She didn't tell me when my case physically left the service center but told me that IT HAS been mailed out, who knows maybe it was just sitting in the mail room and they just put a request in cause she told me she doesn't know which day exactly, but said it's usually the day after it's approved. hoping for some good news this week or the latest by tuesday

na, i say it's just tagged to be shipped, not actually left the mailroom yet.

was your casefile approved at MSC or a local office? If a local office, which one?

I have that same feeling, since she didn't tell me when exactly it was mailed out. it was approved by NBC, that was the address on the bottom of the approval notice. my I-129F was approved by a local office though, still waiting for the approval notice to come in, it's a race, we'll see which one gets to NVC faster!

3 months since NOA1... Sigh. I'm so happy and thankful I go to visit my husband in 8 days. I'm completely in awe of people who manage to do this process with never seeing their spouse. I'm so thankful my husband has a job that can make it so we can afford to be able to touch each other; to have real hugs and kisses. This is not a journey for the faint of heart, and my best wishes go out to those who have waited far longer than I.

but that doesn't mean I don't want to yell "Hurry the heck up with my case mofos!" lol RAWR!!!
