Hey guys! Just wanted to share an update on our NOA2, we actually got it today in the mail (with a notice date of 12/23/14). It was ridiculously fast, it went through TSC and we had a turn around period of just over 30 days! We were very surprised to get it so soon, we were expecting it to show up around February or March.

Congrats! Not to belittle it, but you've been expedited due to being from the Philippines. Congrats again!

I completely understand. Everyday that I check my status, it's always showing when it was received:( I'm just looking to wait 6 months which is May, hopefully it comes sooner but if not, I'll krep expecting the worst while hoping for the best.... Be strong! We're all in this together!

Just want to say I watched all the episodes of 90 Day Fiance, wow and wow. What a hot mess.

Also if it makes you feel better (like it did me) I contacted both my senators on the unfair comparison in time frames. Both wrote back and one specifically said he submitted an inquiry on my behalf for my fiance. It says he will have an answer in 25-30 days. I'm sure it will lead to nowhere but it does make me feel better.

Yes, some of the cases are just a mess. Gives hope to some of us whose fiancés come from high fraud countries that we will actually stand a chance getting approved :). I definitely may write them starting in February. It'll be 3 months since our noa2... Which means most of our CSC nov filers should be getting their medical and interviews done then :-/

I've heard this rumor as well, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt. I'm only going to assume that things will speed up in January only because the holidays are over and most federal employees will be back in the office starting 5 January (I'm a fed who works in DC and most of us aren't working right now).

I definitely understand where you're coming from. The stress is taking a toll on me and I'm starting to have issues in my relationship that stem from it. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one whose relationship is having issues, but at least we have this forum where we can go to each other for support :)

I feel that our relationship struggles at times too because of this.. I think the busy holiday season isn't helping either with us not having as much time as normal for each other! Hopefully that gets back to normal soon. That would be amazing if TSC starts getting a little faster... definitely don't want to get our hopes up though.

Totally agree with you. The holidays and the distance is tough. It's extremely expensive for me to travel to Morocco, and it's nearly impossible for him to get a tourist visa to the US. I have been trying to get my SO to take a trip to Turkey in February because he doesn't need a visa there and it's not too expensive for us, but we will see. If we don't get to take this trip, I'm really not sure when we will see each other next and that's pretty frustrating.

Thanks to everyone to hearing me whine a little :) I know you all understand!

BTW Jules - Do you live near Dahlgren? I'm there from time to time for work :)

I do! I pass it every day! You should let me know when you're in the area!

I'm trying to get Peter to visit in February too. I want him to be able to experience a little bit of my pregnancy at least (I have an ultrasound set for a day in Feb :) ) If he does visit, all he needs is just a return flight and he should be okay, right??

I'm sorry visiting is so difficult, I can only imagine. I'm sure that isn't a cheap trip at all! Hopefully Turkey does work out!
