May 2013 filers

[BLAKCAJUN 25]

It's good to know there are a few of us who have not been transferred. Hopefully this means they will touch our files sooner. Let's be positive I'm going to start filling my police certificate application form this weekend to send it off and get my police check so at least that part of preparing for the NOA2 is done.

yes that will help the next phase go smoother. I have all the forms filled out for my fiance already. he will get his police record next week as well. I have strong feeling we will be the next group of approvals.

Sorry to hear you have not had your approval yet. It will come you just have to site tight. There's lots going on right now with uscis. Particularly with vermonts many transfers. I know your California but it does seem like California has slowed down a little. But keep the hope it won't be long now. May files are getting approved earlier than we are suppose to. I didn't expect a approval till November which would be within the so called 5 months time frame. But I got approved in 2 months 3 weeks. I was probably one of the lucky ones. Also you have to bare in mind it's not on a first filed first approved bases it's on a first background check that comes back on time then they deal with those first while waiting for others. You will get your approval soon keep your spirit up god will do is miracles.

Thanks Nurseling!it really feels good that we have this group that encourage us all the way.i will keep my spirit up!

So true...it looks like after the 2 day wave of approvals, transfers and RFE's that they have slowed down. I too am happy for the approvals but a tad bit upset/antsy/jealous that I am still waiting. I keep telling myself that it's just not my time and when God is ready for me to take the step it will happen. Hopefully, we'll get approved before month end.

Were just gonna hope for the best i guess!i pray that you get your approval soon..we really need to be our love ones this year!

Let me know when you receive the hard copy in the mail

Thanks

Let me know when you receive the hard copy in the mail

Thanks

I received the RFE hard copy today. Just to make sure I'm certain what it is they're requesting - I think they're only asking for a translation of the hotel receipts (all the other official documents were translated) which would prove that we physically met whereas I suppose only having proof that I was in her country isn't necessarily proof that we met in person? (There were also dated and labeled photos of us together that I submitted in the petition)

I'm assuming that the first part of the RFE above the line is what they want & and the part below the line is the legal requirements that'll be met with this new submitted information? -OR- Do they now want, also, a small novel written about how we first met 10 years ago?!?! Ha, I would quickly get it if they would have just written "Hey, translate your receipts"

Hi d3adc0d3

I agree with you. You should have received it by now. Are they sure they have sent it out. I quiet agree about calling them . Somebody needs to give you the correct information. Keep us updated as to what they say.

I was told to give it a full two weeks before I call. That it got dropped off for mailing that Sunday (that wasn't a glitch), that I was actually approved on the 26th, and that if I don't have the paper by Monday to call again.

But I have the date now, so I'll be able to finish the rest of the paperwork.

I believe we are both in the same exact situation. We were approved the same day o the 26th of July. They sent me an email at 8:25 pm saying this;

USCIS records show that your case was approved on July 26, 2013, and the approval notice was mailed to the address that was on file on July 28, 2013. If you do not receive the approval notice in 30 days from the date that your case was approved, please contact the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

I will wait till the 26th of August and if I don't have the copy by then I will go ahead and call them again.

Good luck to us and lets hope they transfer our files to NVC soon...

Hey looks like its in the snail mail. You and loran got approved the same day and they have not received theirs either. At least you know it's not just yours lost.

Hey

It sounds to me that not only do they want receipts translated by a certified translator they also want you to write how you both met. Did you not write a letter including where you met how you met and when the proposal took place? We wrote a separate letter for that and attached it to our application. I would put dates if I were you. At least that's what we did and didn't get a rfe. Just cover all corners. The person assessing your file is definitely meticulous.
