Nice. Thank you. Where and how did you send that?

No problem. I googled who my congress person is, I think every state has different districts and there's a congressman or woman assigned to each district. You can put in your zip code and congress representative in google and it should come up. On their website there should be a contact tab and see if you can send them an email, they'll reply to you and ask for your receipt number and your fiancés name and they'll send you a form to sign for privacy info release and once they send it to USCIS, they have 48 hours to reply to your local rep.

Hello Vicky. I emailed tyem already and would love to call but I can't get thru the ivr I wanna talk to an agent but its always the operator. Does this mean we can't pay the visa fee to sched the interview? My petitioner got a letter from the NVC with my MNLcase number with correct info. But the email sent to us yesterday werent my info. I checked my status at ceac it does not say may name but it says ready to sched interview

Hello there. Wow! Congratulations to both of you. April filer here and the beneficiary. haha.. This waiting game is really challenging but I know with strong faith and the power of the love I have for my man, I can get through this. Anyway, I don't know if you know about this link already but I thought this will be very helpful for you and your fiance for her interview preparation..K1 and K2 Interview Preparation Instructions - English_February 2016_.pdf.. In this link you will see 3 ways how you will pay the visa application fee and many other infos.. Have a pleasant day and journey to you guys. Good luck for the rest of your journey. I hope and pray for our NOA2 and for the others to come soon especially those who've been waiting for so long already. USCIS should/must fix their app asap..

Would it be okay if you could share with us what you sent to your congress person? I looked up my congress person and noticed they have an entire section on their website under "services" for "help with federal agencies". Debating on if I should send an email and what I should write.

May I know when did you contact the congressman after you have been waiting for NOA2? My fiance also mentioned it to me yesterday if we should contact our congressman, but he told me we needed to write a letter and mail to them instead email. I just think if there has email, that helps a lot and much faster to wait a letter. And I also have a question, the city my fiance is living is not the city he born. Is that ok?

Hey, I'm a January filer and just got our NOA2 last week. Currently waiting for our MNL case number. Why did it take that long to schedule your interview if I may ask.

It may seem like it, but there's still quite a few Jan folks still waiting. I run the numbers every night, so I can give you a rough estimate of the number of couples not approved.

 

There are 942 people who are not in received, not rejected, not approved. These include RFE, etc.

 

Then on May 1st, roughly, USCIS stopped updating the online status checker for approvals. However, before they stopped, we were seeing an average of about 70 approvals per day. Right now I see 991 people in received. So if I multiply the average by 10 days (May 1st - now) I optimistically get 700 approvals. 991 - 700 leaves 291 still in received.

 

This means there are roughly 1233 Jan filers who are not approved.
