_{diane79 Congrats Good to see that they are actually kicking some of us Midwesterners to CSC.}

Thank you!!!

Yeah, I've been reading TSC is a pain in the ###.

I hope it goes fast for you and all the people waiting. It really sucks how slow they can be.

Hi there. February filter here. Just got casse aproved last week, now waiting for NOA2 to arrive.

Best wishes for all of you, and I hope we can all have a fast process.

Wow!! Congratulations!! Soooo fast! How did you do it? Was your case uncomplicated and your petition front loaded? I'm hoping ours happens that quickly. I'm wondering how much getting approved quickly through CSC has to do with how complex or simple each case is.

Thank you!. CSC is really fast.It is not about complexity, they just work faster than TSC (aka black hole / hell hole ). If you sent all the documentation required and filled the form thoroughly be sure you wont have any problems. My fiancee got the NOA2 in his mail yesterday, just 1 month before he sent the I-129F. Im sure yours will be fast as well. I know every day feels like a month, it is the constant anxiety on "when we are going to get any news". We must be patients, I haven't learnt that tho. lol

Check Igor's list and other's ppl timeline, it will really help you to know when other cases from your beneficiary's country are beign processed, or have an idea the process times for your country

In case you dont have the links, I put them below.

Btw, dont forget to change in your timeline the consulate, it say Armenia. you can change by editing your timeline and picking a country in the "US Embassy" option

Many Congrats you got your NOA2 hard copy. I have a question here . our petition was approved online by 27th Feb where they did mention that they will mail the hardcopy but we haven't got one so far. How long does it take to get hardcopy?

Normally they say electronically that they sent the hardcopy but in my case they said they will send the hard copy. Is it normal? and also how long does it take to get a hard copy. Thanks

Thank you.

Yes, this is normal, they said they "will send it", but that means they are "sending it". First you get the acceptance/approval electronicaly, then, in about a week/10 days you will get the NOA1/NOA2 in the petitioner mail.

I just got my the email and text saying that our petition has been accpted! Yay! Is that our NOA1 date or do I wait for the hard copy to update that in my timeline?

That's so great. Thank you for all of the info. I'll do all of that. I'm excited about this journey because I know it will be worth the wait. Good luck to us all! =)

hi all

our Petition was approved on Friday, Feb 27th, They have updated the status online for our petition acceptance, on 27th. But we haven't received any email or text message and also we haven't received any hard copy for NAO2. Any idea when should we get any update from USCIS/NVC ? Thanks

I never got an email or text message about NOA2, just the website status reporting that it was approved. The hard copy NOA2 came in the mail just a few days later.

Oh that's great. I have seen your time line, it says you have been accepted on Feb, 26th whereas we are on Feb, 27th but we haven't got our NOA2 hard copy by Post yet. may be there are some delays in post . hopefully we will get some time next week. Good luck and have a smooth journey

We are in the same area....I live in antioch. Good to know someone close is going through this at the same time!

Hi All.. We've finally received our NOA2 (Website update and not the hardcopy yet) ... now do we wait for NVC to contact us?

Good luck everybody

P.s am so happy for this topic

Hello Vj Family !
it is so nice yo find a lot of people here on the same boat
My fiancee(USC) sent the package and it was recieved on Feb 26th , we got our NOA1 by email on March 3rd . and we got the hard copy NOA1,on March 9th .

I am from Morocco , will i have the same timeline for getting the NOA2 ? does it differ according to the benefeciary's country ? or it is the same for everyone ? if it is , should we expect the NOA2 in about a month because our petition was sent to CSC ?

Very exciting !! i wish the best of luck to everyone ! i hope to hear Good news from you

[Kali2015 21]
