Congratulations..I know you and i were talking and waiting...Ohhh congrats to you, I've still heard nothing...What did you do to them??? LOL

Not sure about your timeline dave but I would wait at least for 50-60 days after NOA1 (at least that is what seems to be the norm at TSC). In my case I was proactive and I called USCIS on Tuesday this week and requested audience with an USCIS officer and I was very polite with her, but, I did let her know that I was not so happy with the fact that, some of the petitions before me and after me were getting approved while I still languished at the Alien Registration change status.. I am not sure, if that helped but I did get my approval yesterday.

Such a great idea...When you say you requested audience, exactly what does that mean, and what were your questions to them?

Wow.... Great news Congratulations on your approval ))

Did it match your timeline prediction??

[Devy and Lynette 46]

I'm venting today because I'm like borderline depressed about this I29f..Dagnammit I want to see my NOA2..called USCIS today and she said maybe my adjudicator is on vacation..what a month's vacation..I need his job..she did congratulate me on my marriage to be so that gave me some umph!!! I'm just going to hold my candle and say I'm at the Texas Service Center and I'm still waiting for my NOA2 and I wish it would hurry up!!! Enjoy the rest of your day and congrats to all, I hope you will be congratulating me soon...

H Davy&Lynette I hear your pain... I feel the same way here and my Fiance is having such hard time being a part for so long.... its just depressing to wait for this approvals I think very few august fillers left here that are not approved yet, and we are in that very few category.... sucks!!! Lets hang on.... Stay positive and maybe tomorrow there will be a miracle..... What does your timeline predict???

Thank you Devy & Lynette! I have a feeling y'all will get an approval this weekend! I will be praying for you guys. I know the feeling...so just be patient. I called USCIS and requested that I speak with a USCIS officer. First I thanked them for working through the government shutdown and for doing a great job (no pun intended) Then I told them that I could not understand why some petitions with a later submission date were getting approved while my petition had no change in status since 6th of september. I asked them whether my file was assigned to any USCIS officer and if there was anything that was missing that was delaying the approval. The USCIS officer gave the standard answer "Every petition is different and that normal processing time is around 5 months" I told her that I understood all that, but i just couldnt understand what made some petitions so "special" to warrant an early approval. She then asked me for my mailing address and date of birth. I just said " i hope I am not in trouble" and thanked her for her time. Not sure if that helped.

Thanks for the info imsantosh!

When I look on Igors List it seems that there is quite a few people still waiting for approval who got their NOA1 on the 14th August...I really would like to know why some approvers are so much faster than others.

I shouldn't complain though as I know there is still a number of pre-August petitions still to be approved, but I'm just a very impatient person :-)

I wouldn't put too much faith in the numbers listed here. They are really only averages. CSC burned through a bunch of them really fast and it made the average date go down. Or that's what it looked like to me. When we initially made our timeline on here, it told us January. We got our NOA2, but we are also stuck waiting for CSC>NVC. It all works out about the same for most of us. On the bright side, I've been watching these timelines all year and things are moving faster in general for all of us.

We called NVC today and they gave us a case number, and now the status is AT NVC. Does anyone know what is means? Have they just received it?

They should send it to embassy soon. When I got case number it said at NVC and few ours later it was IN TRANSIT and next day it said READY I think when I recived case number it must have been already in the way to consulate

Thank you so much for the info, I was a little confused with the status AT NVC, because a lot of people just skip this step or go through it very fast

Hello everyone

does anybody know after USCIS receives response to RFE if they notify you that they got it? i mean when i check my case number it will say there that they got response to RFE?

thanks every one for your inputs
