[trust&believe 0]

Hard copy NOA 2 arrived today followed by a text and email that petition has been shipped to NVC! Things moving quickly now! I hope this means things will be speeding up for those of you still waiting on Texas for NOA2, special prayers for all of us on this journey!

CSC is not that fast for some cases. I filed 1-129F on 7/31 for my partner/fiance, got NOA1 on 8/7/13, still waiting on NOA2. I sent my I-129F to Texas lockbox, but got my NOA1 from CSC. I am getting nervous, now. I was thinking, if I might get a REF or something. If it has been this long, if I did have a REF, I would get a letter by now. I looked at other August filers and some filed after I did and they got NOA2 already. Could it be because of the country my partner's from? I saw a few cases from Vietnam and Philippines that got NOA2 already.

my VJ timeline:

Processing

Estimates/Stats : Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between October 5, 2013 and October 15, 2013*.

Does this mean I'm near to NOA2 hopefully next week?

Thank You and good Luck to you guys...but please tell me this means NOA2

On October 7, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

If so VJ was right on!

An approval! Means your NOA2 has been sent to you (wait for hardcopy) and paperwork has been forwarded to NVC. As for us CSC approvals, we have a long wait to go. So enjoy the moment and all the best!

Congratulations! Lucky you, TSC gives you notification as to when your paperwork has been forwarded to NVC. CSC doesn't do that.

I just got a text/email a minute or two ago. They request for additional evidence. I don't know what yet...have to wait for the letter in the mail. I am happy that there is progress in my case but SAD that I got a REF. I heard from another tread that if I send the additional information in, usually they will likely approved, right? Anybody has a REF and got NOA2 afterward? How long did it take after u send in additional evidence and received your NOA2?

I feel like I want to cry.

We received approval last night! We got noa1 8/13/13, RFE sent 9/5/13, and approval 10/7/13. That's some speedy activity from CSC! Yay! Good luck to all! What comes next though. Interview and medical but what should we prepare in the mean time!?

Any CSC approval got the case number from NVC yet?

What took them so long? It's just a matter of sending it off! Oh well, I was going to wait until the end of the month before I start calling.

I'm in USCIS status and kinda play around with SRC# increase/decrease the last digit and it seem like the last digit higher than mine already got NOA2 (129F) this week, Oct 8 and prior. Why they skip my number? When call, they always say first come first serve lol.

Congrat! to those who got approved.

Did you file through tsc or csc? Your timeline says csc. I got my noa1 on the same week as yours and still no noa2. Hope its on its way. Congratulations on your journey

Hey guys, saw this in one of the thread. Thought I'd share it here too.

http://travel.state.gov/visa/questions/news/news_4413.html

Department of State Transitions to DS-160 for K Visa Applications

Effective immediately, all K visa applicants are required to complete the DS-160 Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application. The DS-160 replaces forms DS-156, DS-156K, and DS-230.

For K visa cases already in process at a U.S. embassy or consulate, the DS-160 is not required when, prior to October 7, 2013, one of the following situations exist:

• The K visa applicant is already scheduled for an interview.
• The K visa applicant has already been interviewed and has been requested to submit additional documentation or is pending administrative processing.
• The K visa applicant has already submitted a valid, signed, unexpired DS-156, DS-156K and/or DS-230 or received instructions to do so.
