So many variables involved, it's hard to make sense of this whole thing. I really hope the end of the week brings a huge batch of NOA2s for folks in both CSC and TSC.

Congrats!!! :)

So the cases that used to go to TSC (Florida state) are still being processed quick...good for you.

God, I am still jealous...filed months after other filers and still got approved earlier. Oh well, lucky draw, right place at right time!

I almost wish we had delayed filing 3 months - we'd likely still get approved earlier than we have a prospect now.

Anway, celebrate and good luck at the NVC stage!

Yeah, we have gotten the same reply - they claim there is no processing time difference. No speeding up at TSC for now, but at least the slow down has ceased for now. I have seen average processing times go from 190d to 220d since last December. Don't wanna see that carrying on.

a not so good update for our papers... after a few days of not checking in our status in uscis, as it was always the usual no update page... i just checked today and found out an RFE is on the way :(

Now i wonder what it will be. my fiance (petitioner) and i have not met on a dating site. He was married once but we have included the divorce decree. And we have reviewed the packet a dozen times :( Oh well... many things on my head now :( will they speed up our process once we send back their requirements? Can't wait for the mail to arrive. how long does it take??

will wake up my man later on the wrong side of the bed... challenges! Challenges!

On the other note, congrats to those who received their NOA2.

I really thought we'd get an RFE because like some here we mentioned that we met first on an online dating site but didn't state which, but this morning we woke up to an approval email! I am so relieved. Congrats to those who got approved as well and for those who are still waiting, hang in there :)

An RFE is a good thing, it means someone picked up your file. Especially as early as 14days after NOA-1.

I would be thrilled for an RFE, but my case will likely be collecting dust for another three months.

Wait for the letter, should be there in a week and send them what they ask - come back and ask for advice if you are unsure. Upon RFE receipt, you are very likely to get your approval within a month.

Congrats to everybody getting there NOA2's!

I really hope we get to join that group soon! I have to admit it's so disconcerting seeing people get approved when filed after us! But happy for them at the same time!

A bit bummed that those that mailed after us are getting approved ahead of us, but I am very happy for you all. :) Checking daily for updates on ours. But, I am really feeling it for you folks in TSC, it will all come at the right time. God bless.

JoeyKeano, I am going to call on Monday. Just from what I have seen there is a small batch in the middle from 3/11 to 3/19 that is not processed. I am wondering if we are in some pile together. Maybe a call may have them look at least. I know I sound like a baby when the TSC folks are still having such a long wait but it just seems a bit weird to me. Edited by Sunya and Tim

Don't apologise! You get to be thrilled and ecstatic about your NOA-2, just as us TSCer get to be bummed and despaired.

Good luck with the rest of the process.

Don't apologise! You get to be thrilled and ecstatic about your NOA-2, just as us TSCer get to be bummed and despaired.

Good luck with the rest of the process.
