January Filers

[TimsDaisy 0]

Whenever I see a fwaguy update with the days-since number slowly rising, I get this voice-over in my head like in a bad movie with someone in the jungle, keeping a diary . . .

"Day 82.. . we've begun to run low on food. Morale in the camps is low, the natives are getting restless. . . . "

Very well said!

But the fact itself, that the CSC is so slow in approving January filers, is rather sad and frustrating

I've been always wondering whether there might have been more petitions filed in January (compared to November or December for example) - thinking of all those couples that got engaged over the Christmas like we did...

Well, who knows. Let's just hope the CSC will pick up speed and we all get our NOA2's asap!

I just keep hoping that rather than movement actually being slower at CSC, things are slower HERE at VJ. By that I mean, fewer Jan filing couples joined this site and contribute data, which might make it look like there is less movement because there's no one reporting the dozens gettig approved daily, right?

Kinda?

Maybe?

Well, I'm going with it anyway.

Jen,

Just FYI, I called USCIS when I got the RFE hard copy. The customer service rep said that "the passport pages do not really show that you and your fiance met...maybe you were just visiting the UK on vacation....many people visit the UK on vacation."...(and vise versa for him flying into LAX apparently). Which is also the case with most other "primary evidence" they are looking for (receipts, airline ticket stubs etc. don't indicate both of our names on the same piece of paper). We did meet in Peru once and so we both have passport stamps with the same date of entry into Peru (so we really highlighted that in this go around). However, because it was work related, we have no hotel/spending receipts etc.

Just wanted to give you a little insight into their way of reasoning...if you think you may not have sent enough evidence the first time, maybe start gathering more now. It has taken me a couple days to get all the evidence together. ...I know it's silly but that you all understand...I cannot stand to wait 1 more day than necessary. The scariest line of the RFE was, "...failure to submit ALL evidence requested at one time may result in the denial of your application." ...so it had better be right this go around!

Anyways, good luck and keep us posted.

Wow, thank you so much!!! I am worried about being able to find the kind of evidence that they will want if we get one, but I will start the hunt now. I completely understand how even one day is excruciating (sp?). We did fly to New York together, but unknowing at the time that we would be needing this, he threw the airline stubs away. The tickets were bought on Orbitz...but I will call them and see if there is ANYTHING they can do. We also had professional pictures done at a studio, I will call him and see if he can print up the pics with dates. Thats about all I can think of. Like you, we have tons of pics in the US as well as the UK, but all digital with no dates. Other than that, I guess all I can hope for is that the immigration officer that goes over our petition hopefully took his happy pill that day, got laid...whatever floats his freakin boat!!! The line of your post about the failure to submit all evidence could result in denial of your petition, yeah that looks pretty scary. I really hope for you that you gathered the evidence they were looking for. Hopefully the next officer to look at your file is not such a pucker butt!! And one more thing, if they are looking for more detailed evidence of the petitioner and benificiary meeting, then WHY is that one of the things that they list for evidence on the petition directions???? And WHY don't they list on there that the pics MUST have dates listed on them??? Are they just setting us up for failure? Last night I had some customers that went through the K1 process (English) so of course we got in this detailed discussion of their journey...yeah, it was hell for them too. They said the immigration officers were just cruel. Immigration lost their papers twice, and then sent them a notice (after the woman had received her visa and arrived in the US) saying she had 36 hours to leave the country. I hope that none of this happens to any of us. Hmm, anti-anxiety meds might be in the works for me!!!!! Anyhow, please let me know what happens next for you, I really am pulling for you!!! Ali, are you directly in Reno? If so, your not too far away from me. Hope you have a good day. Jen.

I'm just trying not to even check my status everyday. I wish I were in Colombia with Wendy...that way I wouldn't even think about the NOA2 and when I come back...boom NOA2 waiting in my mailbox.....just a dream

WHOA!!!!! JUST HAD AN IDEA!!!!!!!

WHOAAAAAAA!!

Does anybody know if the case #'s have anything to do with who's case will be reviewed next????

For example

Case #WAC00000001 just got their NOA2

Case #WAC00000002 should be next in line to be reviewed???

Maybe this way, we can at least know how many cases are before us. However case #'s are to be kept secret right?

I second that! I wish I were with Marlon, living it up on the beach, drinking Rum Cream and dreaming of an NOA2.... *sigh*

My Sweetie is arriving today to spend a week with me. If only we had our NOA2 waiting in the letter box when he comes back home..... I'd be beside myself with happiness. But with the speed CSC is working now - I don't think that is going to happen.

Anyway, I'm going to enjoy the time with my Love-Bug now without obsessively checking our case status every other while and see you guys next week. I hope you will have some good news for me by then!!

Yes the SO visit definitly helps the obsessive checking... AND my obsessive VJing I've only been on to both sites 3 times or so since the 9th when my SO got here

Hmm, maybe something is really wrong with me! I am with my fiance in England and I still obsess over the NOA2. I don't like to think about how obsessed I would really be if we were apart like most of you guys. Lets all keep positive, we'll all have our NOA2s soon:)
