February 2015 filers - Texas Service Center

Congrats!! I'm sure you're glad it's finally over at the TSC and on to the next stage!

What was your NOA1? Your timeline says 2/19 but I didn't see any 2/19's on today's immifairy report.

I'm 2/18. Seeing 2/17 and 2/20 and later getting approved makes me hope our group isn't the "forgotten" group.

Congrats Catherine. On to the next step now.

My NOA1 is 2/17 and I still haven't received anything yet. Hope my packet wasn't lost somewhere.

Checked the 15 numbers before and after my number and 2 had notice about undeliverable message. 1 was for an RFE.

All of the other 27 (including mine) showed a status of being received. Sigh..

Congrats Catherine for your nao2. I know you were involved in online petitions, countless escalations about TSC like we did. I hope we are next.

Thanks! Ok so about NOA1 dates---I have never really figured this one out. So, here on Visajourney, we are instructed on our timelines to look at the hardcopy of the NOA, and type in the "notice date"

For me, that is February 19. However, my "received date" on NOA1 is February 17, and when I search on the USCIS case status webpage, it says "On February 17, we received...". And I'm pretty sure that that's what Immifairy is picking up. So on Immifairy, I'm Feb 17 and on Visajourney I'm Feb 19 and for USCIS, I guess I'm also Feb 17??? Who knows what they go by.

You won't be forgotten at all--I'm convinced that those late December folks had something going on with their applications. Like maybe not an RFE (which can be for just skipping a question or needing clairification or something), but like....having filed for a foreign spouse or fiance several times before, or have had multiple DUIs, or met through a marriage broker, or are first cousins or...who knows. The fact that every month only about 10% seems to linger well behind the rest of the pack to me means not that they manage to "lose" 10% of applications but about 10% of the applicant pool has some bigger issues going on.

Per USCIS we received our notice on 2/9/15. Still have not received anything yet. It seems to get harder and harder for her and us each week.

Understand the frustration. Uscis logic defies us.. It's not sequential or sorted by date, country, application date received.. No one really knows. We are 2/17 and I've seen folks after us Get approved . We just have to pray, wait and hope for our turn. It's not fair but oh well no one cares.

Oh goodness, that's horrible - what do they want you to do? and did they give you any info on how much longer it'll take?

Hey all, just popping on to say that we got our approval last night, too!

I was getting all of your emails about approvals starting at about 8:30. I checked the USCIS case status tracker app that I have at 9:30 and nothing.,.....and then got the email at 9:40!

In a funny/not funny twist, my fiance and I have been having a bit of a fight since Monday. To spare you the details: it all came down to the fact that we'd planned to wait until NOA2 for him to be able to do something, and he just couldn't handle it anymore, snapped and impulsively went through with it anyway (this "thing" has nothing to do with the immigration process).....on Monday morning. Argument about joint decision making and sticking to plans, and "going rogue" ensued and I basically said "just watch, we'll get the approval tonight and we could have avoided this whole fight if you'd just waited a DAY".

Well, I was wrong. It was TWO days. So, we're so happy, obviously, for reasons I don't have to explain to any of you here. But it's got this "told you so" kind of tinge to it that is just....funny. But not funny. You know?

Congratulations!!! I am happy someone I follow got a NOA2 on August 11th. It was the day I predicted for us in March. Please keep letting us know how your journey progresses from here.

Im so happy to hear more approvals!! congrats to all!!!!!! I'm still waiting and it seems those with Feb 9th are stuck - that makes 3 of us so far on here not approved with that date.. Feels like our petitions were put in the slackers box.. ugh
