February 2015 filers - Texas Service Center

i cant wait praying to happen within the 6 month not more than that like people from january still waiting, truly sometimes i am so hopeful and other so down,

sometimes i wonder people from Philippine gets so fast and other so slow, hope to have it by maximum next week

really because it's NOT about the home country. I just think that there were many philippine approvals before because of the quantity of philippine k-1s.

I dont know what system of approval USCIS use...it is sooo random >_<

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"

http://www.visajourney.com/images/noa-date.jpg

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.

VJ should change it to "Received Date" and "Notification Date" and get rid of date sent. Date sent doesn't really tell us anything because people send there's by different methods (USPS, Next Day, 2nd Day, and bla bla bla). I think the "received date" should be tracked as the NOA1 since that is what the USCIS website says. I believe the "Notification Date" is the date the hardcopy letter was printed.

Anyway, just a thought I had and just killing time while waiting for our NOA2.

yeah me too we cant do anything about it but to just helplessly WAIT.

My boyfriend tells me to just chill and don't expect anything.

I'm turning 30 this saturday... so if i received my approval this august it will be just sweet icing on my birthday cake, but then again no expectations *sigh*

on the brighter side: goodluck to everyone, I'm really happy that texas is doing feb now

My birthday is also on Saturday, I'll be 32. It would be a great birthday present if I received the approval. Hell even on her birthday of the 26th. I doubt they are that considerate. I'm tracking others similar number to my case, and someone a few numbers ahead of me shows they just barely sent an RFE notice on 8/11 after reviewing for 2 months. I have a fear I won't even be approved until near Christmas time..

This whole process is ###### terrible. I disliked the gov. before, and this just strengthens my opinion of useless agencies that do little to help their people. It's like watching the EPA whom is supposed to protect the environment destroys an entire region by releasing toxic waste into the environment. (which is where we were planning to go for our honeymoon)

I think so, too. But it's how they want to do their data and so I'm listening to them. I think I may change my signature to show both, though.

Take this experience and extrapolate it to the VA hospitals..... those poor guys :/ At least this process doesn't have anything to do with our HEALTH.

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.

Thanks! I really do think that TSC is speeding up. The out-of-order thing is, of course, infuriating but there's nothing to do about that (I think they'd waste more time putting these in order than just going with this "boxes on the shelf" approach. I'll see if I can dig up that thread where this was sort-of explained....), but I think that they've got more people assigned to these, or something. There have been a lot more approvals in just this week alone. It won't be long.

Agreed. When you lose the motive for improvement and profit all forms of products go down the drain (see USSR 1946-1988). Government has no competition therefore has no incentive to get better.
