Really ??? ?

They said that I-129F is the quickest way but MY ###

Here's a thread, only one page long and three members have already posted that they are over the 300 day mark waiting for NOA2 http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/546948-300-days-and-still-waiting-for-noa2-k1-visa-i-129f/

That's in addition to the ones I referred to who have recently been approved over 250 days. It makes you wonder how many others there are.

219 days today. It's not even *my* amount of days that is bothering me, but more the lack of approvals in this forum; things are looking pretty grim.

[ Spring 2005 ] Met online, in-game (WoW)

[ February 2012 ] Finally admitted our true feelings after years of staying hush hush!

[ March 22, 2012 ] Made things official!

[ April 13, 2012 ] Met for the first time in real life and fell in love!

[ July 8, 2014 ] Got engaged!

[ September 10, 2014 ] Filled out paper work

[ September 19, 2014 ] Receipt Date

[ September 23, 2014 ] NOA1

And after 246 hellish days (8+ months) of being trapped in TSC purgatory....

[ May 27, 2015 ] NOA2 :)

Agree! It's not so much the fact that I haven't received approval, its that there are hardly any approvals at all. Even yesterday, 3 approvals and 2 of those were October :(

I'm at a point where I sometimes look at that other case number I found just to see its "My Case was Approved" message.

That'd be funny if it weren't so sad.

Hahhaha, we're descending into a state of madness! Curse you TSC!

I have this odd urge to get a job there one day and show 'em how it's done. If only they had people working there who WENT through this process before- maybe then there'd be a drop of compassion.

Ha, I do the same thing. I want to know what it will be like to see that message, but pretending just disheartens me more.

At the beginning of last week, things seemed so hopeful with the approvals that came in. I felt as though the next few weeks would be a bowl of cherries for us September TSC filers.

Boy was I wrong.

Now I can't help but go back to thinking about the worst case scenario.

But! Someone has touched your file! You know it wasn't lost or tossed, at least! Also, correct me if I'm wrong (and I very well could be) but an RFE just means the case is on hold until you send more information, right? And once you do, they continue on with it? I doubt the wait will be that bad! Keep your chin up; an end is close to being in sight for you.

My file still has the possibility of being lost or tossed.... haha :(

I'm so sorry to hear this. When I saw the pasted text in your post I got all excited thinking it was your approval notice. I didn't even see your text above it.

It's possible that it wasn't you. It wouldn't be the first time submitted documentation has been misplaced at a service center (CSC included). It seems like the letters usually arrive within a week of the RFE notice. Here's hoping it's something simple and a quick fix.

Thank you both. I really hope it is something simple, however M's name changed from Birth because he was Adopted, however the records were sealed and he couldn't get anything that really showed his name change from birth to adoption - we did get letters from the adoption company explaining the situation. I just hope they don't need more for this, because we're at a loss then.
