• Can anyone knows the difference  between the Tier 2 and the Ombudsman?

They are two different departments (actually even calling ombudsman department is kind of weird, they are public advocates)

 

I believe 

tier 2 is a level 2 officer (meaning clearance level and information they get is higher than a tier 1) in USCIS

 

Ombudsman on the other hand;

I know the wait is long and they're still working but I just need to rant. I was really hoping to have my fiance here by the beginning of January next year but we've yet to see movement with our case. I've tried to expedite our case for financial reasons (it's complicated) but they denied us and now I feel like our case got pushed back. I'm also worried because there is a single sentence on our application where I started we met online (tinder; I didn't specify) but there was no other mention of it and I didn't attach anything with Tinder in it. I did put that we met in person at a theme park and included tons of photos. I'm worried of an RFE. Also, I spelled my fiance's middle incorrectly in one of the slot by mixing up two letters.  Anyways, I'm rambling and I'm super stressed and upset of how long things are taking. I hope you guys are all having a good day and I hope we all get to be reunited with our love ones soon.

Try not to worry about things you can’t control...I know, easier said than done  Hang in there, and if you do get an RFE (hopefully not!!) I’m sure you will be able to fix whatever they want easily!!

152 days and I’m going insane!!!! So emotional! Why does it have to be so hard to be with the one you love

I know exactly what you mean. I've had the same worries, over the way we met online (xbox) and minor errors on a form. I don't believe meeting online is an issue, since others have described meeting the same way, without triggering an RFE.

 

Besides...what can we do except wait and deal with whatever cards we're dealt? If we are asked to provide more evidence, then that is what we'll do. Right? Right.

 

I know how much it sucks...I know! I've spent two weeks in person with my fiance in the six months since we filed.  It's heartbreaking. This process is among the most tedious, trying and difficult endeavors I've ever endured.

 

For what it's worth, I don't think adjudicators 'punish' anyone for errors or deliberately put us to the back of the pile. I very much doubt they're happy to have a work backlog, any more than any of us would like to be in the same position. Lately I try to remember that adjudicators are people too. People whose back hurt, who care about their families, who sit in traffic and pay taxes and have to wait when they don't want to sometimes, too.  People who just want to go home at the end of the day, like us.  

 

I can always be wrong...and I've vented about it too, believe me... but I guess I want to believe the best of people and I want to think that they're just swamped and struggling to catch up.

 

Take heart, friend, we're with you. We're all here with you, bobbing along in the same boat, in these seemingly becalmed waters..bickering sometimes, laughing other times, but together waiting for a glimpse of land.

175 here and nothing...  It is amazing how much this is stressing me out.

[MinalN 58]

175 days...

[John & Rose 7,239]

...and my timeline loses 3 days today.  We are now in December... the emotional extremes are amazing.  Yesterday was a day to anticipate great things.  Today I wonder if i will see anything before my trip to the Philippines a week from Friday

It's strange because according to my timeline here I should've heard back either today, if not then by tomorrow

so I don't know whether to be excited or worried

That is very strange.  I am a 6/6 filer with a Dec 1 estimate.  You are a 6/8 filer with a November 29 estimate...you filed 2 days later but your estimate is 2 days sooner.

On my vj timeline it’s says it should be adjudicated between nov 29 thru dec 3 i know it’s only an estimate let’s see I’m praying. I have witnessed 2 weddings so far I hope and pray I’m next. I had to dye my hair black from all the gray hairs. I also cancelled my trip I can’t leave my kids for the holidays. ☹️
