Congrats!

We were approved Oct. 6th and don´t have a case # yet.

As what I´ve seen in the NVC thread is that they are still at the 60 days.

The waiting continues.

I got my approval notice September 12th but didnt get the case number till Nov 4

Congrats!

I think it was the e request that helped, I sent a request at 5 months and some days and they said security checks and said call back in 30 days. At the 30 day mark I called and she worded it just like this

" let me put in a request to see if they can check to see if the security checks are done"

it seemed as if I never called them back then my case would of sat there until they re checked it maybe? so I think my second request was good because who knows when they would of re checked to see if it was done .

So my suggestion is put in a request and whatever response you get MAKE sure you follow up in those 30 days to see if anything was cleared up and if so just like mine I got my approval 2 days later.

one thing is you cant call before the 30 days, they will tell you call back at 30 days I called 2 days before and they said call back at 30 days

and the firs time I called she said they are aware that your case is out side of processing times lets put in a request to see why

I think these request work , for me anyways it gets them to see that your case is still in limbo ya know?

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION: no don't wait another 30 days it could save you time just go ahead and put one in now

We tried to file an e-request a little after 5 months and they said it was too soon (which I knew but my impatience got the better of me!) LOL So we had to wait another 30 days to file again which took us into our 6th month of waiting. The standard reply we received was that our case file was with an officer pending consideration - which didn't give us much information. However, my friend who just went through this process last year said when your file is with an officer, you usually hear something within 2 weeks and in our case she was right! Nine days later we were approved and received our NOA2! Good luck to you moving forward!

yea I tried to do it right at 5 months and it wouldn't let me so then I tried a week later and it worked, it said it was in normal processing time then when I tried it again it let me put it in, who knows! lol so mine was 5 months and two weeks it seems after I put in the second request the USCIS site was acting funny so I was scared that they didn't put in through but a couple days later I got approved and now that the site is working I looked up case history and when I put in the second request it actually said it was with an officer for review and days later my approval email came. so im guessing two weeks or less if its with a officer mine was just a couple days and I got approved.

now just waiting on it in the mail! im scared about this next process I cant believe people are at the NVC for so long now???!!!

I cant edit my writing anymore! lol sorry I am so a month off!!!!!! it let me put in a request at 6 months. sorry all these months are starting to get confusing. sorry amjadusa90 i waited 6 months and then put in the request, then everything i said after that is correct.

my request timeline:

• at 6 months I put in a request
• 2 days later they replied pending security checks
• I called they said call back in 30 days
• 30 day mark they said they will see if checks are cleared so put in a second E request
• days later approval
