It is getting close to 8 months now since the NOA1 and I just don't know what to do. I am not in the states, so I can't easily contact with the CSC by phone and I hate being helpless in this situation.

It is also frustrating to see people who, from the same country and service center, have applied after me have received their NOA2 and I still have had no word.

Any suggestions on how to pass the time or to speed up this process???!?!!!!

ALMOST IN TEARS!!!

Thanks in advance

You're just past 7 months rather than close to 8 months.

We are two days away from 8 months. There are a lot of us stuck in the system at the moment. Unfortunately, there is not really a great deal more you can do at the moment but wait. According the USCIS website we are still withing 'normal processing time' as they haven't updated it since 31 December.

You just have to think that your are nearer the end than the beginning of this process. Tears are natural when you are apart from you loved one. You just have to be strong for each other.

It is difficult. Lots of us are in the same boat right now. The waiting has got to me badly. So much so that my doctor signed me off sick with depression yesterday :crying:

Check your WAC number at the USCIS see where your application is at. I had to call them to get moving on it. I believe after 7 months you can call.

Q&R - you can contact USCIS via email - they set up a new email account since 15 AUG 2012 - you can email to

ncsc-customerconnect@uscis.dhs.gov

include the receipt # and biodata on the two of you (full name, dob), indicating who is who (Petitioner vs Beneficiary)

and

inquire for casefile status. You might get a response same day, it might be three weeks. I got a reply back in 2 months, but others have gotten a reply back within a week.

Good Luck !

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
