Do you think the person telling hiim that migt have been basing on USCIS official processing times? I mean, since there it says right now they are working on January 1st, then that person automatically added the 3.5 months that it would require to get to mid April.

 

If that's the case, then we don't need to give it more thought, since we know for a fact they are in March already

 

Good luck anyway!

As long as she is here for her birthday on 12/1, I'll be ok.  Hopfully, it won't be that long.  Her daughter is 11/22, and it would be awesome if she were here for that as well.

That sounds like a great objective, hope you can make it.

 

I'm still hoping for October and then my first Thanksgiving... But we'll have to see what happens with NOA2, because if it gets delay a lot,as in nothing in August, then I might end up coming back to my seasonal job at a film festival... I don't know if this sounds bad, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to even consider the question, since then that would mean I won't be able to leave until probably Christmas time almost

 

Oh well

In what case will be a good a idea to call the USCIS? 

And is it worth it? I think they say the same to everyone, at this point I bet they are tired of answering the same questions

 

Is there any way to know if we are going to receive any news?

 

If they actually answered the questions rather than just give a canned speech like a telemarketer then maybe they wouldn't be getting so many calls   I think it's the shear lack of info that has everyone on these forums slowly going crazy.  We submit the application and we know nothing until we get a letter in the mail.  Maybe Amazon can help them with their tracking system?  When I order something online, I can see the status of my order from the moment I place it to the time it gets delivered to my house!  And there are way more Amazon orders than visa applications!  ha ha!  sorry, I'm using humor and sarcasm to help me through this process

I totally see what you are saying

If they implement some kind of system that tracks your case in every single step of the way, people wouldn't be as desperate as we are...

 

Yikes guys I think our only hope is to carry on with this waiting game :C

Sounds like a good aim, I think it helps sometimes. My plan is to get over by end of November...fingers crossed

Hope this helps

@spike198 Humor and sarcasm are great resources to cope with USCIS ways if you ask me

 

So I've just read the weirdest story about an approval on Marchies thread. Petitioner got nothing in the mail... Beneficiary was the one forwarding him an email with a PDF of NOA2!! 

Edit. Oh well, I got clarification about that. It wasn't USCIS but the lawyer who sent the email. Duh

So it's just the lawyer was notified first... Because snail mail

@Estibaliz, the Beneficiary received the an email with PDF of NOA2, does it mean that the USCIS sent an email to the Beneficiary's email address?

Nope, I just edited the post to explain what happened...

I asked them because I know you don't put the beneficiary's email anywhere in the petition, so that was completely illogical.

It turned out it was their lawyer and not USCIS who sent the email

Ahhhh.. that makes sense. When we got our NOA1 the hard copy came to me and the email went to our attorney who then forwarded it. I'm assuming the same will happen for NOA2 provided an email us sent

True, that is why I got confused "beneficiary received an email with PDF of NOA2" . Well, we do it ourselves. Hopefully, we received ours soon.

OP was confused too, lol. He had to ask again to his fiance to understand what had happened.

That would have been close to a paranormal event, USCIS contacting the beneficiary 

So false alarm... Not such a weird story after all. Duh me.

This is the last thing everyone patiently (not really) waiting on NOA2's needs to worry about! I believe USICS is backlogged and NOA2's require around 3.5 months to send out - so we're on track! I've worked with the US and Canadian Gov't for years and the summer months are brutal…things move extremely slowly as the majority of staff use holidays in these months making it harder for things to move along (short staff, lack of overtime pay, etc.). As frustrating as the 100+ day wait is.. it is a reasonable time frame.

 

I'm new to this group and sadly a late April filer! I absolutely love the positivity of this group and how optimistic everyone continues to be, as its so easy to get discouraged on a daily basis. I'm hoping to see lots of approvals soon - we all deserve it!!!

Hey Guys 

 

How is everyone doing? Sending you all lots of positive vibes, keep staying positive and we will all get approved soon!
