July 2014 Non-Filipino TSC Filers

[Ashley&Yuki 0]

I'm not sure if I count as a July filer or an August filer but I just wanted to say I'm here and still waiting!

When I call they still won't let me talk to a tier 2 agent.

Congrats to everyone and hope we all get approved soon!! I love these forums. They really help!

Hooray! How long will be your visit?!

Sounds about right 190-200 days. I think the waiting time might decrease until the end of this month or next, not now because still have lots of people from june and beginning of july to be approved, and they already reached 190-200 days.

8 approvals on igor's list sounds promising! Keep moving TSC! January will be good!

We just reached 187 so I am really hoping you and Maria&Steve are right. NOA 2 in 7-10 days, fingers crossed.

NOA1 July 1, 2014

NOA2 January 12, 2015

APPROVED

I thought this day will never come....

Congratulations to everyone else who got approved and for the rest, IT WILL HAPPEN (eventually).

Great news! I'm sure you'll never forget where you were when you got the good news.

That's awesome! Celebrate 1 year engagement anniversary and noa2! because, of course, until there you guys will be approved.

I looked the timeline just now, and looks like they're finishing June and already working on July! that's something!

Yep! Isn't the ideal date that everyone was hoping for, but at least they updated it. So that means everyone who is June 6 behind can feel a inquiry?

now I'm anxious to my process get to NVC, oh boy.

Yes, I really hope we get to celebrate both our engagement anniversary and our NOA2

Yes, it means that everyone who sent in their files before June 6 can now send an inquiry.

It's good news that they finally updated the date but I think they make sure that all applicants earlier than June 6 are done just so that they don't get any inquiry.

But anyways....... Am still hoping for jan to hear my good news.

TSC replied the same to my congressman as well. I am left with nothing but to wait

According to Igor's list there are still plenty of people before June 6 who are still waiting so they can file an inquiry. Though of course that list needs to be taken with a grain of salt since people might have gotten a NOA2 long time ago but haven't updated their timeline.

Your NOA1 was a few days after mine. I hope both of us will hear something very soon

I would say you count as an August filer since you got your NOA1 in August. But you're more than welcome to hang out here. I used to hang out in the June thread to keep an eye on when they might switch over to July These forums are great! Really nice support and nice people to talk to while waiting

Just because I know it would bother my fiance a lot... it's Seve, not Steve

I'll keep my fingers crossed that our prediction is correct and you only have 1-2 more weeks to wait!

Feels like a light at the end of the tunnel!
Congrats on the approval!

Now worries, thanks for pointing that out. We all are differnt about our names - I'm the complete opposite - I'll answer to anything. When I'm in ireland everyone first hears my name as "Maureen." Hahaha - Lori's so not Irish and not anything close to Maureen but whatever.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that our prediction is correct and you only have 1-2 more weeks to wait!

Thanks!

I am normally just frustrated but positive. I broke yesterday and cried a few time over this entire process. I feel helpless and my fiancé keeps telling me...everything will work out baby we have to be patient. Patient I have been but this has become a nightmare! I never thought I would be at 174 days and 6 months waiting is here!

I pray we all hear something soon. Stay strong my friend!

I think it's this stage of the waiting game. We are almost there .... but not. With no guarantee or indication of when we will be approved the last mile feels the longest. The last week has probably been my most difficult throughout this journey and like you, we never believed we would be still waiting at this stage. When we filed, the average (and even then, considered dismal) approval time for TSC filers was around the five month mark. Shortly after filing, we saw April and May petitions being transferred to CSC and mistakenly assumed rather optimistically, that the processing time would decrease. It didn't. The only comfort we have is that we know it has to happen fairly soon, and also knowing that there others who filed around the period we did, who are also struggling at this point. Your timeline is one I've been following because you are just ahead of us. So hurry up and get approved, dang it!

wow! his name is a mind trick! Thanks for saying. I might wrote wrong in some posts haha, I'm sorry.

Haha! He is named after a famous golfer named Seve Ballesteros. It's a great name but I often feel sorry for him. Every time he orders take out they get his name wrong. Even if he says it's "Steve without the T" people still call him Steve...

Wow! I checked Igor's list this morning and there were 8 approvals yesterday... Now when I checked it's 10! Woohoo!!

Was explaining to my mom because she can't absorb why there is an unexplained delay... one reason I gave her which I never thought of before was... may be because we applied in summer and that's when lots of people have vacations and they travel abroad and get engaged, therefore, we have to wait more than usual???
