Hi Everyone,

We got our NOA2 on July 27th, 2015, and there has been no update from USCIS since. Is this normal? Will USCIS update the status once they've sent it to NVC? Who should we call - USCIS or NVC - to figure out what's going on?

Thanks


Sorry, wrong topic. Just saw this is for Jan. TSC filers.

Did you check the USCIS site to see if it ever changed to say sent to NVC or department of state..if not call USCIS and see why not

I think thats the only number, I called that number yesterday about 8am eastern time and got through after about 15 times dialing and didnt pick any options just went through the automated system until it transferred me to someone I was only on hold for about 20 minutes before someone picked up and gave me the case number. Best advise is to just keep dialing whenever you have time until you get through.

Thanks for your answer waitingstill21..

I guess you have no other option than just to be patient while calling them ;-)

hello there, looks like everyone is really coming along--glad to see that.

i know i haven't been on here for a while, life has been kinda crazy...much like this whole process, lol

well, here's my update: we now have an appointment with BGN on 22sep15. never got the petitioner letter by US mail, found out BGN only will "speak" via email--they won't answer the phone. we are still awaiting packet 3 & 4 via INTERNATIONAL :shocked: snail mail, but luckily we also got them as .pdfs via my daily, polite query emails to BGN on what to do, and was able to quickly DHL back what they needed. however, i must say even though they only answered intermittently, they did listen to the request for the interview date we asked for in one of my emails--so, well played BGN, well played. :yes:

my mind is going wild wondering what the 'BGN experience' will be like in person...yikes! :no: so yeah, i'll know in a month! :help::lol:

hopefully i'll have good news to report on sept. 23rd...and hopefully soon after that we'll all have need of a TSC Jan. 2015 survivors AOS thread to begin the next process! :dance:

If you hang up when it says they're busy and re-dial eventually you'll get put on hold :) I recommend calling early in the morning

After much worrying I received my interview appointment letter today! SO happy, excited and now nervous. Exactly 4 weeks from today ?
