Yes, we do feel lucky, seemed like a real slowdown at CSC after our NOA2. I was thinking the same thing about you...only 5 days behind us for NOA1 (though I was NSC & your are TSC) and you still without NOA2, sad really. Should be soon for you...and the good news is after that things seem to move pretty fast compared to the CSC wait. We will keep in touch, let me know if you have any questions about Spore consulate, best wishes.

I know Tom...I know...arrgh...this wait is getting to be very unbearable....sadly...

Oh well, I just hope they give it to us by this week! And yeah, I'll PM you if I need any help with the consulate! Thanks for the best wishes, and I wish you guys good luck too, for QQ's interview!!

Hi Rambaldi,

Future hubby called doin RFE trick on friday after seeing wioombeen called and found out they had been assigned.

He found out from the call that we had been assigned to an officer on the wednesday.

He called again on Monday but spoke to the indian lady and didnt really understand what she was telling him, so was none the wiser. He called back 2 moro times but got the same woman!!!! what are the chnces of that lol So just hung up lol.

Got touched on the monday and tuesday due to fonecall, i noticed a touch yesterday and he called and found out we been approved, but didnt tell me till late last night lol!!! i had been checkin online all day and my emails and didnt get anything.

Then wen woke up this morning there was a lovely email from CRIS stating approval notice sent and the online status has been updated!!

Looks like they are getting the approval notices and updates sorted finally.

Think if you called you may find out you been assigned to an officer too.

GOOD LUCK

I can't believe we don't have our NOA2 yet...

We have the same timeline, our NOA1 was dated April 9th. And we haven't received our NOA2 yet either. I wonder if we are the only couples with the same timeline who haven't

No, you are definitely not the only 2 couples! Our NOA 1 date is April 9th and I'm going out of my head here!!! No touches, no nothing. I wonder if I should be calling? I don't want to annoy anyone but I also don't want to sit on my ####### and not do anything and just let our petition fall to the bottom of the heap b/c I'm not being a squeaky wheel. I really really really don't understand why some people with later filing dates already have their NOA2's. Can somebody, anybody, give me some hope?? ARGHHHHHHH

From your mouth to God's ears!!!

I just did fill in my timeline and I noticed there was no option for dates for the I-129F, only the I 130. So, not knowing what else to do, I filled in my dates under that heading.

I have 2 dates on my I-797 NOA1. The first is the Received date of April 5th, the second is the Notice Date of April 9th. So I've been referring to the 9th as my NOA1 date. Is this correct?

Thanks for your words of support and encouragement. I've certainly never been through anything so crazy and difficult before! We can't even plan our wedding date! I know, Whine Whine Whine...

It's weird you know the first time I tried to fill in our timeline, I got that same thing you encountered too! Just exit the current browser you're in, log back on to VJ, and try to edit your timeline again. It should work this time round. And yes, it should be your notice date.

Whine away, that's what this forum is for! Hopefully something good will come out from all our whining and ranting today! Let's all be positive and hope for the best! Which is the only thing we can do right now anyway.....IMO....

Another touch today! (Because of the phone call I made) Where's my NOA2?!?!

[MaRob 0]

everyday I hear "so have you heard anything on his visa yet?" "when is he going to be here?" what do you say to these people? same story everyday.. nothing yet... coming up on day 94 since NOA1 and almost 6 months since I have even seen him...

the black hole is getting bigger and is about to swallow me up in it....

My answer is always the same, "We're dependent on the Feds, so you now what that means."

I'm in the same boat, called yesterday, touches yesterday and today. We can only hope it's not due exclusively to our phonecalls. This process is ridiculous...

For those who missed it before.

RFE TRICK

Call 1.800.375.5283

follow these prompts

1,2,2,4,2,1 then enter your receipt number then press 1 to verify that is is correct,1.

This will transfer you to the Service Center your petition is at.

Wioombeen

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

I've just rang up...lol... They've said there's been no action taken as yet on my case...But..I got the typical "we are working on cases that were received in January speech...that mine will be looked over within 3 months or less". Of course I didn't say anything about me being on visa journey...and knowing that they are processing the end of March/begininng of April!! lol

This question gets asked of me so often I should just print up cards with the answer and a short overview of the visa process. And I feel you on the wait. I am about to hit day 105. I've had one touch, from the RFE trick, and the phone was very unpleasant.

Looks like we're in the same boat. nearly 4 months since i've seen her. Hopfully we'll both get ours in the next couple weeks?
