Hope to see some approals in sept for previous filers so we can get in queue !

I'd like to start seeing some approvals as well. Up until we filed, we had a rough timeline of when we are to expect an NOA2. But no, that timeline is out the window! Quite frustrating!

Hi liefie, mind if i ask why it was sent back? Thanks

Actually I have not seen the rejection notice because they sent to my hubby and we are not together, he is currently on an assignment in Indonesia and I have to stay in my country under the restriction of 2 years home country residency of my previous J1 visa. He thought it would be better for him to receive mails at his office address, but his office address looks very strange and looooong, he attached one page for his office address.

We are filing CR1 and CR2. The rejection notice says we should have attached two pages, one for CR1 one for CR2. But they sent back our package not to hubby's office, they sent to his house address, we were wondering how they knew his house address, I think they picked the last address we lived together. At least we know they dont like his office address, too weird.

Then we filled in a friend's USA address when we redo the I-130s. We hope the friend in USA can get anything from USCIS or anywhere the case will go faster than they mail to Indonesia.

Leaving in 17 days to go and visit my husband for 3 weeks. Last chance I have for this year, as I don't see work giving me anymore vacation leave till Christmas, but thats only for 5 days. Not enough time when you need 3 days just from travelling. Next time I see my husband, it will be in Feb 2014, and I better damn have an NOA2 by then!!!! ranting33va.gif Though I know deep down its unlikely! sad.png

Hello,

What is the time frame one should ideally be expecting for the final interview if i130 has been sent in August 2013.

I sent out my i130 on the 1st of August and have received the soft and hard copy of NOA1.

I know you are all in the same boat, but in case you have been following trends, what looks like a likely time frame?

Right now the only trend is no trend. It seems everything is at a stand-still. March filers are barely getting any approvals at all. And any calls made to USCIS for processing times, filers have been told 6 to 9.5 months just for the NOA2.

Lets hope this new OP Kansas office really does have hundreds of workers, and they will start working full-time this month. You never know, lets all just hope if they are really on it they can get through the back-log in a reasonable amount of time and we can get to the next fun NVC stage.

Been reading up abit on the new NBC in Kansas that will be opening up end of september. Wonder what it means for all of us that has just filed. Will it take longer because it is a new centre, which means new employees, or could it mean a faster NOA2??

Food for thought...

Its interesting that you mentioned Kansas, our NOA1 hard copy came from an address in Kansas. Could it be the new office is already sending out NOA's or maybe just a coincidence?
