APRIL Filers!!

[DeeZee 0]

I hadn't checked my case on the USCIS site for the last 2 weeks to keep myself sane…. until yesterday my fiancé told me that WE FINALLY GOT OUR NOA2!!!!

It arrived via snail mail. Approved July 19, 2007, never received email notification.

For those April filers who are still waiting, I know this is soooooo frustrating, but hang in there. I hope to hear your good news soon!!

Congrats!!!! Best of luck for the rest of your journey!

I wonder why is it that some people got the email notification, and some people don't?

Congrats!!!! Happy to see another april filer approved!

rambaldi, i guess their system is just messed up!!! nothing is certain from USCIS!

Was your account showing a "Touch" before this date?

So much for the announcement earlier in the month that they "fixed" the notification process.

Congrats!!!!! You're one less ahead of us.

When you guys are calling and actually getting to talk to a HUMAN what are you doing? Are you selecting the option (after you check your status via unhelpful automated message) that says that you believe you are out of the normal processing time?

I'm getting really anxious and I just want to make sure that I talk to the right people since I finally have a day off during their 'open' hours for calling so that I can sit down and speak with an actual human being.

This entire process is being exaccerbated by the fact that I can't really plan our wedding until I know when he will be here (at least within the month) which means I definately won't know until we get the NOA2. AND my fiance's family is egging on my anxiety by saying that we won't be approved until next year. Oh frustration.

Cassandra, use the RFE trick, my fiance called 2 weeks ago and he got a very nice guy who told him that our case was not assigned at that time yet.

Remember this will most likely result in a touch. This touch most likely does not mean your case is being processed.

I see you got your NOA2. Congrats!!!! We got our NOA1 at the same time as you did too, so here's to selfish hoping!!

And I hope all of us who are waiting for their turn get approved!!!

At this point, I'm realling starting to think they're just being slow as hell in order to wait for the fee increases to kick in.

My account online isn't showing a single touch yet.

wioombeen,

I've done this several times but the 2ND CALL I'VE MADE IS THE ONLY CALL THAT A VERY VERY NICE AND HELPFUL LADY ANSWERED. THE REST SOUNDED LIKE THEY DON'T WORK THERE. IS THERE AN EXPLANATION IF MOST OF THE TIME YOU REALLY DON'T GET TRANSFERRED TO A REAL CSC EMPLOYEE AND NOT JUST SOME CALL CENTER UNDER USCIS? BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED HOW OTHERS GOT GOOD NEWS OF APPROVAL OR THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND MORE INFO ON THEIR CASE AND OTHERS USUALLY JUST GET THE "WAIT FOR 30 DAYS; THEY ARE ONLY PROCESSING DECEMBER 2006 OR 2007; OR STILL PENDING..THIS IS WHAT SHOWS IN MY COMPUTER SCREEN, DO NOT CALL TOO MUCH WE TRACK YOUR CALLING HABITS, ETC. ETC.. AREN'T THEY SUPPOSED TO BE HELPFUL WHEN YOU CALL? I MEAN ON THEIR WEBSITE THEY HAVE A PICTURE OF A LADY THAT SAIS "HOW CAN I HELP YOU TODAY"?

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I called and a somewhat groggy and confused gentleman told me that my case was assigned on July 19. I could burst into tears I feel SO relieved! Now I'm just wondering- for those of you who know when you cases were assigned- how long did it take to get processed between that time and your NOA2??

how long did it take to get processed between that time and your NOA2??

I was assigned on a Wednesday and approved that Friday. But every case is different. But I think you can relax now. won't be long.

I don't think so. I think there are just a lot of miserable people up there. That is actually one of the things the USICS said will change with the new fee increase haha. You just need to be lucky and not have on of them answer the phone.

I just called using the RFE trick. I've tried not to for two weeks but I figured I've been patient enough. I got an Indian lady that I had talked to a few weeks before. Besides poor english skills, whe was a complete b$%&h and only begrudgingly checked to see if I had been assigned. She told me this wasn't going to expedite anything and that I couldn't call back for a month. This was after she realized I hadn't called for two weeks and I mentioned that I've seen people with NOA1's after mine get approved. Can you believe the nerve...If you get the woman with the indian accent, I suggest just hanging up and trying again later.
