This is interesting. I thought the apps were bar coded and every time someone looked at or touched them they were scanned, that automaticly sent an update, or "touch" to the case number.

Of course I believed my email from them that said the cases are handled in the order they were received. Since ours was received on Feb. 2 and people at the end of Feb have gotten there NOA2 and we have not received anything yet, (that I know of) I guess that they are not handled in any particular order. It is becomming a tad bit frustrating. I have been pretty good at waiting and being patient. I am starting to wear down.

I am glad to see more and more Feb filers get the NOA2. Surley that means I am getting close. I do wish I was one of the ones approved though. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Patience is a virtue..................right??????

People with NOA1 at the end of February are getting NOA2's while many with NOA1 in January are still waiting. There are even a few from last year still wating. This system sucks. We just need to hang tight and wait it out. Most of us Feb filers will have our NOA2's real soon. You are early February, I have to believe you will be real soon. Patience smatience.

can someone who has used the RFE trick tell me what I should ask when I am connected?

Do I just say that I think there may be an RFE for my file?

thanks

I called and followed the prompts for RFE. when I got the guy on the phone, I said that I had been touched 2 weeks ago and heard nothing and was now concerned about a possible RFE and could he give me any more information. He then said "well according to our records you are already approved" so I asked when and he went in to another part of the system and told me the NOA2 date. He didnt know why I hadn't recieved and e-mail or the paper copy.

When I called yesterday about "changing my address" the woman laughed when I mentioned anything about first come first served... It was so discouraging...

Are you speaking of the phone system? Or immigration proceedings as a whole? If the latter, then yes, it is discouraging...makes me so mad that they would play with peoples lives like this.

APPROVED!!!!! :dance::dance::dance::dance:

I followed everyone's advice and called regarding a "possible RFE" and the nice man on the phone said, "What date are you inquiring about?" I said "Today's date." ....and he said the magic words "Actually that's your approval notice! You should be receiving it in the mail soon."

I'm going to go wake up my love now w/ the good news! :dance::dance::dance:

Good luck to everyone still waiting!

-P

WOOT-WOOT! Congrats! :dance:

ken you'll get it shortly!

we got it ... and with no RFE ......

actually we had friends who did the same thing we did and we followed all their advice to the letter.......... so i guess that helped......

We have a couple red flags that may cause RFE, but we'll see. I think we have sent enough evidence to cover all the bases, but we'll wait and see.

1. We have a 16 year age difference (I am older).

2. We filed only a few days after my divorce was final.

I think I read these things can be questioned. I don't think they are big deals, but it would not suprise me if they are questioned.

I am feeling opptimistic but to me an RFE is better than sitting on a shelf with no progress. But I will take your suggestions and go to sleep tonight with only positve thoughts and prayers!
