Wors, we are all sympathetic to our friends who are currently at TSC.

No one is trying to rub it in, just to show support

I wouldnt be too worried, I filed in March and still haven't got NOA2..

Ya cause Texas Service Center..they're about to approve Applications from January so..just a few months more probably

I don't see the support in Sabrina's comment. I took it negatively, just like Wors did. But maybe the support was lost in the translation, but one thing that I know is that Sabrina said the TSC just started processing January - that's not true. There have been posts on here that show that TSC is working through and getting to February posts. She may have missed those, but by posting a comment with the wrong TSC processing stage, any support intention is lost on the reader.

Wors was commenting to the fact that Sabrina's AP was going to be short. Many others commented on here that their visa was approved, and how long their AP status lasted. I understand Wor's reaction and why he felt her four posts about being in AP were a little too much. I may be wrong, but he expressed what I was feeling, "You are approved, relax. Your visa is coming soon." If I was posting this much about my AP, which lasted for five weeks, I'm sure someone would have told me the same.

At the same time, Wors, you know that Sabrina can't do anything to help or harm your case. She can celebrate her positive position and it doesn't change anything on yours. I know you weren't attacking her, but you did express what I was feeling. Just remember that sometimes when someone has English as a second language, they may not have mastered the language as you have. Then add to that that we are communicating over type, so even perfect English speakers fail to appropriately transmit their true intentions. I don't know how frustrated you must feel; but I hope you post all your joy on here when you get NOA2. We want you guys to catch up too!

We are flying home tomorrow. I'm a little worried because when we picked up the visa the envelope for customs is open on one bottom corner. Like the envelope was cut to display the amount of documents but not enough to pull them out. The top is stamped and sealed so I assume this is normal about the corner, but it has me feeling nervous. I bought a clear plastic folder to protect it.

That corner is normal. Don't forget to pack the "envelope" with your carry on luggage/purse. Keep it close to your heart and no one is to open that packet till you arrive at immigration at your POE. No one. Safe travels and Congrats.

My take on postings here....., this thread should be called March CSC since many of you have your 129F passed. Since its not... for those at TSC, enjoy the celebration of others. They only fret and worry because they are concerned for this journey to be over just as we are anxious to begin.

I know for months many of the people here were CSC from the Philippines. We shared in their trials and concerns. We the Black Hole survivors will get there very soon. Keep positive, we are all taking the same journey, some of us are on the interstate, some are on the local state highway. We will all get there. Some just some of us sooner than others.

K-1 Journey

2/27/2015: Sent I-129F to Black Hole in Texas:
3/13/2015 NOA1 Received by snail mail:
8/18 2015 ; NOA2 APPROVED. Perfect timing since Linh's current B1/B2 visa stay expires in 3 days and heads back to Vietnam
8/24/2015: NOA2 Shipped to Department of State (DOS) - National Visa Center (NVC)
9/1/2015: NVC Received NOA2 Package and have assigned a Case Number!
9/22/2015: Received PKT3... Finally..... Can now make appointment for Medical Examination
9/28/2015: Medical Exam - Took 3 days... Cho Ray is a mess. Vaccinations delayed until passing Interview because of shortage of vaccinations in Vietnam
10/7/2015: Interview at Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City and APPROVED!!!!
10/22/2015 K1 Visa in hand. Son's K2 visa only valid for 6 months (W-T-F-?) Thought good for 1 year. Inquire at consulate and told visa good only as long as the medical which is 6 months K2 VISAS NOT GOOD FOR 1 YEAR AS ADVERTISED ON DOS WEBSITE!
10/29/2015 POE Chicago; Easiest pass through for Linh in her 4 previous entries.
11/2/2015: Not tuned in enough to Social Security not to pick "the first day of the month" to try to get signed up. Read VJ advice, it's spot on, we had a processor who knew K1. We were in the SAVE database in 3 days so it was easy after a 2 hour wait.
11/21/2015: MARRIED IN GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK

AOS/AP/EAD Journey for Wife on K-1 Visa

12/8/2015 Completed 4 days of torture to get Vaccine Verification from Civil Surgeon

12/9/2015 Package with Applications Sent FedEx Overnight to Chicago confirmed received 12/10/2015

12/14/2015 Received 3 Emails with Acceptance confirmation of 3 applications all received 12/10/2015. Check cashed

12/18/2015 NOA1 for all 3 applications received by snail mail. NOA 1 date of 12/10/2015

12/31/2015 Received I-797C letter for Biometric Appointment on 1/11/2016 in Nashville instead of Memphis Yea!

1/6/2016 Biometric Appointment Walk IN - DONE

1/14/2016 Received a I-797C letter dated 1/9/2016 that we DO NOT need to do biometrics, already have enough information in the system from previous entries (Likely from B1/B2 visa last year)

2/9/2016 I-765 EAD DENIED But... a minute later....

2/9/2016 I-485 Application CARD ORDERED on 2/6/2016

2/10/2016 GREEN CARD SHIPPED on 2/9/2016 2/11/2016 GREEN CARD IN HAND!!! RECORD TIME 62 DAYS

AOS/AP/EAD Journey for Son on K-2 Visa

3/16/2016 All arrive in Chicago from Vietnam. Son passes customs with flying colors. Wife is delayed for 3.5 hours. Homeland Security lets us go with no questions... amazing. We miss our connections and get home thankfully at 1AM

4/11/2016 Package with Applications Send Fed Ex Overnight to Chicago and FedEx confirms delivery on 4/12/2016

4/26/2016 Received 3 emails and 3 text with Acceptance of confirmation of 3 applications. NOA1 Date 4/25/2016 WHAT IS GOING ON CHICAGO? Took 10 days longer than last time to just receive mail

4/27/2016 Check is cashed. Still can't look up Receipt Numbers on Case Status online at USCIS.GOV WHAT IS GOING ON?????

5/25/2016 Walk in for a "junior" Biometrics for an 11 year old (supposedly not required). Oops wrote down the wrong day, appointment was for 5/23/2016. USCIS office was nice and accepted us 2 days late.

7/13/2016 Finally the Check Status Website worked. Approved EAD and AP. Website still not working on AOS Green Card Application. No email notification at all....

7/15/2016 Card for EAD mailed. Card is for both EAD and AP. Received 7/19/2016. Waiting now for AOS Interview or Green Card Approval

7/19/2016 The USCIS.GOV is now working for our AOS application. Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Seems others have access to USCIS.GOV Check Case now. Glitch fixed?

8/15/2016 I-485 Approved. Status now Card/Document Production

8/20/2016 GREEN CARD DELIVERED -118 Days K-2 Process complete, see y'all on Lifting Conditions board in a year or so

I just got off the phone with my fiancé. On the street that my family lives was a huge bomb that went off and some houses collapsed. Eight at least are dead and 200 injured. Thank God none of my family was hurt! All the glass is shattered from the buildings in the neighborhood. The bomb went off around 1 am for maximum civilian casualties. Throughout this journey, this is the third Talib attack that has been near my guy.

This visa is coming at the perfect time. I know and can relate to some of our frayed nerves. Believe me, I know the feeling of trying to have a normal day and trying to push aside the feelings of melancholy. This site is important to us because we probably all have family members that are doubtful or suspicious of our mates. But sometimes you realize that while you got a cut on the foot, your neighbor didn't make it.
