It seems that there are many approvals today. I pray that this carries on for the rest of us waiting for our NOA2.

My PD is Dec 17, got NOA2 June 13.

I called NVC today and they told me they received our case July 1, and that it will take 30 business day to get a case number

Is that usually so long? Or should I call every day or so in case my case number is available before?

I am thinking to all of you who are still waiting for NOA2... this is so stressful and frustrating.

You can learn more about NVC process by reading the NVC Wiki Saylin created: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

It's usually taking 30days to get case# assigned.

Here's where you can read more from other VJ Members going through NVC:

Hope this is helpful.

Also A BIG CONGRATS to all December Filers that recently got NOA2!!!

However, I was wondering if we should send them in addition of that a proof of bona fide marriage in our RFE's reply with a cover page stating what's in the package?

To make it clear, we didn't send any proof of bonafide marriage with our I-130 Package because we didn't know we should do it at this stage. I should have done my homeworks and read the great article on VJ about the I-130 Package

Also, should we use the enveloppe they sent us to reply or use our own enveloppe?

Thank you in advance for your responses!

It might be to late, but I think you shouldn't send anything beside what they ask for. If you feel like you need to add more proofs of your marriage do it on nvc stage.

205 days at NSC and counting

Anyone had any luck with service requests yet..? fyzah, axs, nanana, Monirasohel,CBO, yumisleidys03, victorioussect, faisal.sial and the rest of you guys with PD between 12/3 and 12/24.

My dreams of xmas in the US with my wife is starting to fade

Hi. no luck with anything, tiers are keep telling my hubby that we are in the normal processing time frame (because on theirs computers states that nsc is working on Dec3... BS). We emailed an inquiry to NSCFollowup.NCSC@uscis.dhs.gov , and got response that our case is pending background check clearance. ( how much time it can take......... ? )

Today we were able to put E-request. I am wondering what kind of lie they are going to give us this time..

o h GOd I was approved on 3july just saw it now,THank u jesus

Did your wife call them ??

NOA2 RECEIVED!!!!!!!!!!

God is so Good! Keep praying, our faith must be bigger than our problems!!

My heart is so happy! I wish you all to feel thaript soon!!!

YAY ! awsome ! great news.

and to your previous question - yes you can apply for tourist visa and go visit your spouse.

I was on business trip with no access to VJ and with no time for checking the case status, thus I could take my mind off this endless process for few days, but somewhere deep in my head I was hoping to get approved by now and see much more approvals here..

I hate waiting. I will erase that word from my dictionary once this process it over.

Hang in there guys.

It seems that about half of the December filers have been shoved to the side, and now they are approving January filers. Every time we do a service request it seems like we are all given BS answers like

''USCIS electronic records indicate that this case is currently pending background check clearance."

" We are actively processing this case. However, we have to perform additional review on this case and this has caused a longer processing time. "

and we are either told to wait 90 days for a decision, or to go bite on a rock as they cannot provide you with a completion date.

For all of us that have still yet to receive our NOA2, We could stay patient and suck it up or try to be proactive. I have put in 2 service requests at this point and they are worthless. I am going to write up an email and contact the ombudsman. I think it would be great if we all did the same on a given day. We could write up a generic email and each one of us could tailor it to his/her case.

Anyone interested?
