NOA2, at last I don't have to chase for you anymore!!!! Today is the happiest moment of my life so far, I am now approved!!!! Thanks be to God and to all of the people who gave me moral support and encouraged me to keep on believing. By the way, we received our NOA1 on August 2, 2012 and our petition is being handled by CSC. I am hoping for a smooth visa journey.

congratulations!!! To God Be the Glory!

:blink::wacko: such an awful tracking process but no help :(

We did not do it quite often since they won't give you more info than what one can get from website, but you just confirm again that the service centre is really limited to help us.

Congrats and go smoothy at the rest journey (F)

Hi Alex&Amy,

We didn't do something like that but we filed some service requests before. We called customer service almost everyday and most of the calls were full of frustrations and disappointments. We argued a lot with the representatives and tier 2s because all they tell us is to wait and that they can't do anything. We never received any correspondence from the service requests that we filed. One time, a tier 2 told us that he will look into our case and will give my fiance a call the following morning but he never did call. When we call the next day and searched for that person, the representative that we spoke with said that there is no tier 2 with that name there. They were of no help to us. We just waited and became really patient. Prayers, for me, helped a lot! You will get your NOA2 when you least expect it. Good luck to everyone. :)

Until NOA2 Approval

Congrats. :-)

Glad to see some movement from CSC finally, though I wish they'd finish up with us July filers here soon! We are a week away from waiting 8 months with not even an RFE.
