APRIL Filers!!

[Mel_and_Daniel 1]

So I called USCIS yesterday using the RFE trick, however this time I proceeded as though I didn't have my receipt number. This led me to a different call center than CSC. The first person I spoke to had to be new, but after a few minutes of run around he agreed to escalate my call. I was excited at the prospects, but as usual I was dissapointed with the results, though I did find it more useful than talking to that one woman at CSC. Anyway, I kept waiting for the 'double touch' as a result of my call. I never saw it change to 8/2 but when I checked this AM it said 8/3. I'm cautiously optimistic yet scared to be hopeful that maybe our case was finally assigned.

Also, I said I'd report back on my NVC email, after one week I've gotten no reply.

Come on Super NOA2 Friday...no whammy no whammy no whammy!

APPROVED!!!

After the touch I had to call. I got a cool guy at CSC and I simply asked, "My case was touched and I want to know if I've been assigned or better yet approved?" Almost immediately he congratulated me and told me I had been approved yesterday. I called my girl right away and we are both ecstatic of course. It's been a tough last month on us, it's nice to finally be through this phase. With the consistency they've shown the past couple of weeks, it should be no time until this thread becomes all about NVC and interviews. I'm confident the rest of our April family will follow shortly.

BTW, he told me they sent the notice yesterday but my case still shows as pending online...

Hey congratulations... It seems like things are moving quite well this week....

We got touched on 08/01 and 08/02. I called Mel to let her know about it. Her internet is down and she's working away from home. She's a Peace Corps Volunteer in St. Vincent. She said that she thinks that I should call to find out about the progress of our case. I am kinda skeptical about that bcos I suspect that they may bring up some privacy issues regardless of the fact that I'm the beneficiary. Do you guys think that it's worth it for me to call CSC, or will I just be wasting my time?

Thanks for the congrats. My suggestion is absolutely to call. You are the beneficiary and therefore have the right to do so, hopefully you will also be informed that you are approved. Good luck!

Well, I just called and the guy who answered said that they cannot provide information to anyone apart from the petitioner. I told him that from listening to the recording at the prompt, it said that either the petitioner or the applicant is allowed to call. He said that since I'm the beneficiary, he could not provide me with any information. So I guess Mel will have to find a way to call them. I'll be calling her in a while...

That's too bad, but at least you'll find out soon.

Hello fellow April filiers, I called CSC for the first time today, and a very nice woman told me that my case was assigned to an officer and they were processing files from 4/17/07 (which just so happens to be my NOA1 date, ha ha). So, for those of you who have an NOA1 around that time, I think you should be hearing something VERY soon!

Good luck to you all!

WIOMBEEN.. I was surprised to get a reply from CSC this quick. I mean I sent the email last night like after midnight and today after lunch I got a reply and this is all it said.. it still left me to a dead end..

First off WOW. I never even got that haha. And who knows they are transferring the letter to the appropriate place so maybe it can still do some good.

either way this late in the game I am sure you will get your NOA2 before you will hear from them. Yours has to be soon as well as everyone else's baring no RFE's

So far 18 April filers have been approved this week. That's amazing. I know it's frustrating that your not one of them, But 18 still. CSC is really cranking them out now. Hold tight, it's a coming!!!!

Not only 18 this week, but no RFE's that I am aware of for weeks. I think that they are far enough behind that if the app is even close to complete they're going to approve it and approve it with only a quick review. This could be the only upside for those who have suffered through the last month.

I did very well at the NVC. Out petition arrived at the NVC in 6 days from USCIS, and only sat in the NVC for 4 days b4fore being forwarded to Manila. :):)

Oh too bad! But good thing that i found out from you that beneficiaries aren't allowed to make calls. i was thinking of doing that since my fiancé works at night . . i hope we've been approved already. both of us are touched on the same dates!

Congrats Deron! :dance: Hope you'll make it to NVC quick!

I really hope that person was kidding...or maybe it means that all the filers before April 17th are already approved! wishful thinking!!

Hope to see more approvals later!
