I contacted my Senator, just to make sure they have not lost my file or something. They sent in a request that I wanted it expedited.  Which would be great, but not exactly what I was requesting. I then got a letter listing 7 reasons why to expedite from my Senator. One of which a 501c3 Non-profit reason which I am the CEO of one in. So I called two weeks ago 7pm eastern time, after my senate office was closed, to USCIS to see if I went that route to get expedited what would I need to send and i talked two a tier two person, who i think was a tier 1.5 as he just typed some things in but did see where my Senator office was in contact. On Saturday i got a Informed mail i just knew what might be our NOA2, but when i opened the letter was a note saying my case was with the senate division, and I would need to contact my staffer. Called him yesterday and he says too write a letter, list all your 501c3 information, how your fiance is going to help with the nonprofit (administration and Marketing Volunteer, we all are, how it benefits the USA (we have outreach to the homeless), how you feel about your relationship outside the 501c3 etc, with 501c3 pictures. 

 

I have not done this yet. It seem as more and more NOA2 are getting approved with similar dates as ours, even thought A LOT is getting approvals in April. We will wait another week.  :(:(:( Hope she here before Christmas when our events to the homeless really get busy.

I did not know they had a senate division. Wow, that's a lot. How long would it take you to gather this information? You should do it quickly and maybe they can speed up the process and I am positive she will be here before Christmas..sigh I pray so. I wasn't requesting for mine to be expedited but the Senator office suggested it so I just agreed.

Hey guys! I feel like maybe I'm missing something? My case has been at the NVC for like two weeks now. Am I supposed to do something? I mean, it just shows "AT NVC" and I guess I thought that maybe it would go to the embassy rather quickly as it has been for others. I'm wondering if it is because our case has to go to Caracas-Venezuela and the situation there is not so great right now. Anyone have thoughts on this? Also am I supposed to fill out anything right now such as DS-160 or DS-260? Help please :D 

I think you might be right it has to do with Venezuela political situation, as they closed the Embassy a few days when they had the Election for "La Constituyente". Actually they had to reschedule end of July appointments, so maybe that caused a small backlog.

 

Still, it shouldn't be a long term problem, so I hope they send your case to the Embassy soon.

 

And yep, you can start working on the DS-160 whenever you want, as long as you don't submit it until the case is ready at the Embassy.

 

Good luck! :)

I just saw I told you to give it a try at USCIS, but I actually meant to say NVC, USCIS won't be helpful with that.

I'm sorry, it was almost 2am for me when I replied and had an intense day yesterday :unsure:

hey , thank you for getting back , i got you anyways . I will use the email address KB2015 specified.

Did you ever write your senator? They are working on expediting mine. They have been in contact all week after the CSC office lied about when they received my petition. I am so over this process it is driving me nuts.  Even when I get the NOA2 I have to re-plan everything accordingly. Whole summer...gone

Half hour left of this last day of 9 consecutive 12hr shifts,  Trading hospital food for fair food and ballpark dogs at the old ball game.

5 days off again but this time, Flying to the Home of Rock and Roll - Cleveland, OH  Going to visit family and give chasing our dream a rest :D

Called Tier 2 today and they assured me I have at least 45 days to approval (yeah, funny isn't it - surprisingly they are still on Feb 1st)  So might as well go to the North Shore and enjoy family for a few days.

Any approvals, be sure to scream them loud, I'll be checking for them :D
