This is so unpredictable and frustrating.

I was looking at the timeline to get an estimate on when I would get NOA2 and how long from them to Interview.

I found so many NSC applicants, mostly from Philippines ,France and Mexico who got NOA2 is barely under a month, and their whole prcoess took 5-6 months.

Either these applicants put in incorrect information or this is seriously weird. ...................

My heart pumps faster and faster every day. I barely see anyone here posting approvals so it's even more nerve racking. I wonder if there's another spot where we can see actual approvals and where they are in Feb :(

My heart pumps faster and faster every day. I barely see anyone here posting approvals so it's even more nerve racking. I wonder if there's another spot where we can see actual approvals and where they are in Feb :(

I have been checking Igor's List every day and for Nebraska IR1/CR1 visa I haven't seen any approvals on VJ since Aug 1...AND on the timeline for NSC it says they are working on Feb 17 petitions. Very disheartening to say the very least. I check there once in the morning and once in the evening, and I have seen no change in approvals for days. My PD is Feb 04, and my husband and I are giving it until end August (we are SUPPOSED to have an answer to our e-request by the 27th), and then hubby will start with the speed dial to congressman and senator. And it is pretty sad that USCIS lies like thieves on their website siting a 5 month processing time...STILL.

Hey, so I just called USCIS and requested an e-request and I qualified for it so they said that I should call back should I not hear from them or get approved by the 7th of next month, but he said very nicely that he hopes and wishes we get this approval soon :). I don't know, but he stated that there's so many applications and that's why it's taking longer, but let's hope we get this thing going soon and fast!

This should explain a little...

Apparently DHS is not using this contractor until they clear things up. :( So background checks are being held up..

I understand, but yesterday alone I saw 2 feb 6th approvals. How come they got through? And that's just the ones I saw, I'm sure there were hundreds more that we don't see...ugh, so frustrating!

I am sure this is not the only contractor DHS uses. Just saying this could explain some of the delays. I know it's so frustrating, and it seems that things are so random regarding anything they do. All we can to is hope and pray, and every day is a new day :clock:

Hey dualie and dehiguey23, when you called uscis did you ask what date NSC is processing? I'm impressed you guys were able to put in service requests so soon. Someone on the jan filers posted today that they were ...finally...able to put one in today for NSC? What gives? I really don't get their protocols or lack there of..

On another note....today's ride was awesome. Mt Rushmore was fabulous....when you get here, plan a vaca here ....it one of those things everyone should have on their bucket list.

Tomorrow is a new day....here's hoping that someone gets their noa2!!!!

Good morning! Well, I told the guy that I spoke with that I haven't heard anything and that I wanna put in for it, he asked a few questions and got my info, asked when my NOA1 was, I said Feb 10th, he started filling it out and said "you qualify for it". I was impressed and thought of you and Robbie since we're in the same boat, but you're from Jan so I'm not sure why they keep denying yours. They said I have to give it at least until the 22nd, but can't put in for another one until 30 days later. Call again and ask them why they approved some of us and not you, let's see what they say.

So our PD is Feb. 6th and I called yesterday to USCIS to file a request to look into what's taking so long or if there was a problem (on the site it says you have to wait for the processing time - listed at 5 months for NSC - and an additional month before being able to put in a request, so it was exactly 6 months and a day when I called. )

The lady on the phone was very sweet and she TRIED to put in a request for us, but after a few minutes she said she couldn't because the times had changed and now we would have to wait 7 MONTHS!!! before being able to ask them whats up with our case. We were crushed.

I don't understand how some people are able to file a request for USCIS to look into their case and other's cant. It just seems like they're being inconsistent with what they're telling people and how they're making decisions.

Weird...but I did forget to mention, that I did pray before I called. I asked God to help me and to show me that everything is okay with our case. H

I applied online on the USCIS website and it went through, PD 02 Feb. They said I should hear something by August 27th, and I should call if I don't.

I really don't understand why someone with a PD in Dec 2013 is being denied a service request. According to Igor's List NSC is working on 17 February. I have a very hard time believing that. Maybe NSC is the service center that had all the background checks halted because of that contractor being hacked. Just checking the backlog of Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb filers at NSC on Igor's List (as compared with the other service centers) indicates to me that there is something way wrong going on at NSC.

Just my two cents...

Omg.....I'm so excited but so afraid.

Just got noticed our case was transferred. Notice did not say where but to await further notice. I'd attach notice but it went to Tom's phone.

It's about time Texas gets some action!!!!

Here's hoping all you others get action too!

Peace all,

My wife called the USCIS today to see what's going on with our I-130. They told her that they're having delays in NSC. They asked us to call back in 5-7 days to see if everything is Ok with our case or if it's just a Service Center problem of Delay.

I'll keep you informed if we have any news....

Just filed an erequest. Feeling discouraged that so many transferes received approval so quickly. Going on six months now.

Just returned from visiting my husband. Found out a few days ago that I am pregnant. Wondering if my pregnancy could expedite this process at NVC?
