So as a Virginian, got Texas Service Center. Received notification today December 4, 2014. Package was received at lockbox on December 1, 2014 and sent via priority mail on November 28, 2014 (Friday). I know many people hate TSC and reading through the forum, I can see why. With that said I am very happy to get the journey officially going. Time to prepare even more for a future with my beautiful and fantastic future wife ;). I guess there is a small chance that we still may get married in the Philippines. But we are hoping that the process will not be as long as reported by many. Either way, endure we shall!

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
Hebrews 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Use to get really worked up on the wait time, but I have learned to go with the flow and appreciate the time given to prepare for marriage. I actually see it as a blessing and not a hindrance. Waiting

Ugh. Seems like the NOA2 approval date for non-Filipino filers is slowly creeping up to 200 days. That puts my NOA2 around mid/late July 2015. Sucky, sucky, sucky!

Just so you know I am a Filipino filer, but have yet to receive any notification. For example, the one Filipino couple that was at TSC filed later than I did, but already received their NAO2, but I have yet to receive anything. Part of me wonders if those who are same sex have some priority right now?

So I never received a hard copy of the I-797 referral number by mail and called for a second time to request a hard copy. I was able to talk to a tier 2 person and supposedly they will send out a duplicate notice to me. I have the referral number already, just not the hard copy. Hopefully I receive the hard copy this time.

We have no choice, now, do we? It's not like we can speed up the process or USCIS is accountable to anyone.

Oh well, my one month anniversary of my USCIS jail term is coming up and I fully expect the process to NOA2 to take another 6 months. They have barely begun processing July 2014.

I try to distract myself and focus on my job. I get pretty down every now and then because of the limbo, but we just gotta wait... (F)

So, despite my best intentions I am feeling really down today. The unpredictable wait. The fact that we have easily another 6 months until we hear something about our petition to get NOA2, let alone the visa itself... The lack of approvals from TSC reported on here this week - all but one are either misreported or expedited... :crying::cry:

God, I hope the weekend will help me feeling better.
