November 2013 filers?

[ajain88 3]

Hey all, I need some advice. On Friday I'm leaving to visit my fiance for a couple of weeks. Since we haven't received an NOA2 when seemingly most others from the CSC have, I'm suspecting that we'll get an RFE. I'm worried I might get it while I'm gone and won't be able to check the hard copy to see what it's for. I'm considering doing a change of address to my parent's place for the weeks I'm gone, that way should we get one my parents could check and let me know what it is. Then if it's something I need from him, I could just bring it back with me instead of losing time with the slow and sometimes unpredictable mail service there. What do you guys think? Is it silly to change my address for such a short time period when I have no idea if I'll even hear anything while I'm gone? Could it cause me problems in the future? Am I completely overanalyzing and overthinking this process, as is so easy to do??

Considering mail usually has a lag time of about a week...you might only gain something for the second week. Is it worth all the trouble just for a week? It's not like the RFE would be super time sensitive, and I doubt you would need much from him, as long as you submitted authentic signatures (not copied) on his documents - this portion is mostly just a background check on you.

I wouldn't do it. Just enjoy your time with him!

Also it seems almost all of early November has already been processed or RFE'd - hope you find the same surprise as I did!

question....alien numbers....i got the message it changed a while back...is this number shared by USCIS? I dont know my alien registration number and pretty sure they dont send us the actual alien number...i have the receipt number beginning with SRC...just makin sure im correct.

If anyone knows their alien number that filed in november can get me up to speed on where its at? Im pretty sure im ok but with the K1 of course you never know what your missing..lol

thx yall!

I finally figured it out. EAC = Vermont Service Center; WAC = California Service Center; LIN = Nebraska Service Center; SRC = Texas Service Center

You have nothing to worry about.

Sincerely,

James

Thanks! I called them today and the officer said the order to send the NOA2 had been given, but it wasn't logged as sent. He gave the order again, so I can send the copy to my fiancee for "Evidence of approved I-129F" (stated in DS-160 confirmation page).

He also said "Congratulations! Your petition has the fastest approval time he has ever seen"

Hope you are on the same track as me - Good Luck!

Hey can you share the number on which you called?

Hey can you share the number on which you called?

Sure. It was 1-800-375-5283.

After getting your case status, press 3 to talk to a customer service rep to report a problem. The initial person I talked to, was very lower level, so if you need anything that requires authoritative answers, they will forward your call to an officer. The wait time for me was 90 minutes, so I left a call back number, and they called me back after about 100 minutes.

You'll see your Alien Registration Number when you receive the NOA2 Hardcopy. Don't forget that the SRC number is a number for the petition, so it's independent from the Alien Registration Number, which is for the beneficiary.

Just for a couple of weeks, I would skip the address change. It might even be that you won't receive the RFE at all, and changing addresses twice in such a short amount of time might complicate things. Can you not ask someone you trust to check your mail while you are away?

I will make sure that I call the USCIS today maybe they just haven't updated my case yet on the website.

Well, here's my update...

NOA1 date - 11/08/2013

NOA2 date - 11/25/2013 (From CSC)

Called the NVC today, and YAY! they have it. Received 12/17/2013. Not processed yet, but it's in the system.

They're moving a LOT faster than I had expected. Which means they're going to be waiting for us most likely instead of the other way around.

I just called on ours. Our NOA1 was Nov 7. The agent said on the phone that our status was in initial processing and that I should wait to call back until 5 months after the NOA1 date. Ok, great.

I guess you should ask to speak to an officer.
