ha, I think I might spend most of my day today on here. I work in an office of about 120, and it looks like only 30 of us are here I might also spend some time looking for flights/hotels to Istanbul, as I think I've convinced Soufiane to take a long weekend trip there in February (he doesn't need a visa there)

On a plane to Mexico City! If that's news worthy haha. See you guys in a couple weeks

Have fun! Enjoy your time together

I submitted my I-129f and it was received at the Texas processing center on 11/10/14. Ive been anxiously checking my receipt number each day and still nothing. So the other day I went to the page that shows the Texas processing times and it says May 2014 for I-129F was the last one that was processed and the page was updated on 10/31/14. So does that mean that between May 2014 and 10/31/14 no I29F's were processed??? I would appreciate any insight..Im feeling bummed lately after reading that.

Good news... TSC has pretty much completed files submitted in June 2014 and are working on July 2014 right now. Bad news, yes... (for the most part) no I-129F's have been processed from June/July 2014 to today. The only exceptions are for expedited cases, such as military or beneficiary's from the Philippines (due to the Tsunami last year).

Not trying to be a downer, but we have about a 5-6 month wait for us to receive our NOA2s. We have a separate November K1 TSC thread as well if you want to join us

We are in the same place as you. I'm getting notifications of people going through TSC that are getting their NOA2's in a month but as Cristin describes, it's likely these are expedited cases or transferred to CSC. It's a shame that VJ can't store that information, kinda raises false hope!

e.g.

TSC > http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?cfl=&id=197758

TSC > http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?cfl=&id=181017

TSC > CSC > http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?cfl=&id=196958

TSC > CSC > http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?cfl=&id=190736

etc.

I have signed up to receive alerts when the case is "touched", just got to cross the fingers and toes!

Thanks for mentioning the cases that are "transferred" or really were just CSC to begin with (this is why accurate timelines are so important). Always forget about them

Thanks Cristin for the info....Sigh, I also just noticed on my estimated time(which was originally January 2015-March 2015) based on when my application was received that it has now changed to March 2015-May 2015. All we can do is wait. I was warned before by a friend who had told me that Texas processing was the slowest so we were hoping for Vermont which did hers really fast but no dice, lol

Im not good at all this forum and thread stuff how do I get to the other thread you mentioned above?

Yeah... my estimated time has moved from December, then to January, then to March/April, and now it's March-May. Take this with a grain of salt.

Standard processing time for TSC is 5 months, so even if you call the hotline and try to get a Tier2 worker, all they will do until April is tell you you're still within the normal processing times. It's unfortunate, but I also just read in the July 2014 TSC thread that a USCIS representative said that processing times should improve in January. We will see.

Forgot to mention that Vermont used to be pretty slow, but they no longer process K1s (I believe K3s). We're all hoping for a transfer of applications from Texas to California as the processing times have slowly become worse and worse.

Here's the link to the other thread - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/525507-november-2014-filers-texas-service-center/

It's not very active, as we really don't have much activity going on with our applications. I would expect more and more once the Spring is here.

I called NVC last monday and was told that they Haven't received our Case from USCIS yet. How would I know if they received it already? Will it show on USCIS website? Or i have to call them? I sent NVC an email but no reply Yet.

I just hope to get my MNL Case Number soon so I can go Medical Exam as this Medical Exam makes me Think every night. I'm so scared to undergo Medical Exam. I just Hope I'll pass it. Finger Crossed.

We must be in the "same pile" going to NVC (looks like we got approved on the same date). I called last Friday and they still hadn't received it. I've called twice so far. LOL.

When I called the first time, the rep told me it's taking 35 days to get to NVC from USCIS. I wish they're tracking system with this entire thing was a bit better. One the notice it says, "your file has been sent to NVC" when I'm not sure exactly how that's the case if they (NVC) haven't "received" it yet. Even snail post would have gotten those docs there by now.

I'll call them again this week. LOL

Congrats! Can you update your profile and timeline? Looks like you're from California, but your service center shows Texas (it would be california if you live in Cali). It's helpful to keep estimates accurate thanks

Hello fellow November filers...

We mailed our paperwork on Nov 7 and even though it was supposed to be there on Nov 10, it didn't arrive until Nov 13th. However, it was processed quickly through DHS once it got there. We received a NOA2 date of Dec 4!

After waiting a couple weeks, I tried calling NVC on Dec 18th about an hour before closing. Every call attempt went straight to the message saying to try again later. The next day I started calling about 4:30 pm EST and it only took a couple of attempts before I was put in the queue. I was on hold for 53 minutes before I was connected with a representative. He tried several ways to find my case, but determined it hadn't been received (or put in the system) yet. I was instructed to call back in a couple of weeks. He said sometimes DHS is a bit slow actually shipping out the approved document.

BTW: how does one get your timeline to show up at the bottom of your posts?

Best of luck to all of you...
