Hey,

That's great news! For you both to have your NOA2 so soon, but also gives hope to the rest of us that someone is actually awake at the CSC (no offence guys!!).

September filer patiently waiting.

I believe all Haiti applications sent to CSC are automatically expidited, due to the earthquake a few years ago. Look at the timeline for others from Haiti and you will see this common. Congrats on

It's a shame my fiancée isn't Haitian. 235 days and counting here. It's hard not to be filled with anger and envy.

It appears CSC never got the memo about not auto-expedite. No real surprise the two service centers operate differently. Just further proof the whole immigration system is broken.

Hi guys. I understand that this post is going to be very discouraging for some. At the same time, I feel that my experience thus far needs to be shared. Maybe it will give some hope??

I applied for a K1 Visa for my fiance in Haiti. It was mailed on February 11th 2013, and then we recieved our NOA1 on February 20th, 2013. We just recieved our NOA2, stating that our application was approved on March 11, 2013.

I do not know why we have been so blessed. I feel unworthy of this fast pace, when I know there are so many others out there that have been waiting so long to be be with thier loved one!! Praying the interview goes as smoothly....this can't be real!!!

Omg i got tears in my eyes, wow you are so blessed i am so happy for you, i hope for now on everything go very smooth, congratulation

Consider yourself very lucky but they are processing most visa applications from Haiti very quickly. I am on the other side of the rope with waiting over a year it seems like it will never end.

Family-based petitions for Haitians ARE supposed to be automatically expedited. Some of the service centers and people reviewing your case know that and others don't. That notice on the website is still valid because...it's still on the website. It doesn't matter that it hasn't been updated. There are other notices on the site that haven't been updated recently, and they are still valid. It's up to you, the petitioner, to follow up and kindly remind them (and insist if necessary) that the notice to expedite the petition for your fiance in Haiti is still in effect. They may try to tell you no, it doesn't apply anymore, but IT DOES. After calling one or two times, some people get discouraged and decide not to push the issue (I was initially one of those people), but keep at it if you want the approval of your petition expedited.

Well, as selavi says. Push and push. But for my case, I pushed for 2 months literally (called every single day, emailed them the notice found here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=7b001ef371367210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=b72e901bf9873210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD ) and finally decided to wait, then 2 months later NOA2! Maybe it's VSC (since they receive so many applications for Haitian visas, etc...
