Heyy!! Dont worry you ll get it soon be positive! I would like to ask you about your expedite request we will request an expedit due to humanitarian reasons. What was yours? And when did you request it?

We filed us to significant financial loss on my behalf, the petitioner. We filed on May 12th and never heard anything back.

We're the same. I think our file is sitting in the same stack as yours somewhere. My guess is whoever has that stack is on leave. I'm praying that's the reason and waiting for Monday so I can call and see. We've been waiting 94 days now, I see so may others approved mid 70 days and it is soul crushing but I'm happy for them at the same time. I'll let you know how I get on when I call on Monday.

You are going to call to check on your file? I wasn't sure if I should call to check on the expedite or 'cancel' the expedite...?

We got an RFE notice on 7/13 and I was super bummed out. Today, 7/15 got the hard copy. We forgot to check ONE TINY BOX.....I have committed no crimes. Thinking of using a private, bonded, courier service to deliver to CSC Monday morning as they deliver straight to the mail room instead of the P.O. Box...... It's almost twice the cost of Fedex overnight.

Thoughts?

Congrats to all with your approvals and NVC numbers....I have been working hard to manage my envy!!! :)

You will have your approval within days of your correction guys!!

Trying not to get discouraged. Everyone around us has an approval or an RFE ?

We requested an expedite and never heard back. Makes me think our file is sitting in a separate stack somewhere, not in the queue for approval.. ??

Keep in mind, that a thorough background check is done of the petitioner and sometimes this can take weeks upon weeks for the USCIS to get information back on. I don't know if they have independent contractors doinf the research or how far they go back but it can take a while. Then the beneficiary is checked for potential terrorist watch lists, the picture is cross checked for watch lists as well. Almost anything could delay your approval. Considering the amount of petitions that are submitted monthly, its amazing how many get approved so quickly in a short time.

Congratulations to everyone whos been approved and good luck to those still waiting.

I called up NVC on Wednesday and they hadn't received my case yet, gave me the generic "you will have to wait up to 6 weeks".

I want to book my medical in London ASAP so I'm gonna call again next week. My vaccination records are proving hard to find which is annoying, but I've ordered my police certificate :)

Hopefully we will be getting our interviews scheduled in August/September <3 <3 <3!

For those calling NVC, have you already received your POST-DECISION ACTIVITY email stating the packet was mailed? I'm curious.

We've never gotten an email from USCIS lol and certainly not this new one. No NVC number as of Friday
