Naw mate, I got a call from USCIS tier 2 this morning.  It's Saturday in America so I was REALLY surprised.  I still can't believe what they told me so I'm waiting to make the announcement until I see the app update or a letter in the mail.  This could mean that some people are getting mailed updates instead of app updates for July applications though so that's good news!!! CHECK YOUR MAIL MATES!!! CHECK YOUR MAIL!!!!!  

I hope it is true. You deserve it! I've been following your story, and I was hoping you'd hear soon!

[Kat&Joel 484]

I rang them first last weekend and I had to wait for a call back.  I missed the first call but they called back again today.

[Kat&Joel 484]

Everyone please remember to check your mail and also keep in mind that USCIS is working on Saturday now.  You have a increased opportunity to get in touch with them via phone!! I know they have done a ####### ton of approvals on the app but they aren't at 100% app update success yet.  So your approval could very well be in the mail!!!  Keep up the hope my peeps!!! The July extravaganza has begun and is kicking off with fireworks!!!

So we have to do all this while it's at the NVC? Not when it comes to the embassy? 

You have to complete this and then send copies (and possibly originals) to the K1 beneficiary prior to the interview.  Since it could take a while to complete this list and mail originals, it is recommend that you get started as soon as you get the NOA2.

I would, yes. You never know how long it will take to get this information from the bank, etc. It's better to start preparing as soon as you get your NOA2. When it comes to the embassy, it is time for you to apply for the actual K-1 Visa, all of the requirements listed above are needed to do this.

Heee hee hee.  I have some news but I can't share it because I don't want to jinx it omg I'm in shock.  I need to wait a few days to make sure that I'm not in a hallucination.

BUT wait, now you HAVE TO TELL US. APPROVAL?!

I'm going to ring them on Monday morning if I've not heard anything. I'll be sure to ask for a supervisor. Congratulations in advance!

After they give you the June 1st spiel, just say "may I please speak to someone who can tell me if my case has been assigned or if the background check has been completed?" and then they'll either transfer you to tier 2 or arrange for tier 2 to call you back.  That's exactly what I said to them and they called me back.  Took them 7 days but they did eventually call back.  Also, some of the approvals aren't coming up on the app for some reason.  I dunno what that's all about.

Every time I call I get the same scripted answer. How are you guys getting to a supervisor and call backs? 

 

Let me in on the secret?! 

We’re July 5 NOA1 and I’m going crazy!

They told me that they were working on June 1st cases.  I listened to their spiel and then I basically ignored what they said and replied with "can you please transfer me to someone who would know if my case was assigned or if the background check has been completed?" and then I got transferred to tier 2.  They may have to give you a call back but they tried calling me 3 times so they do make an attempt to get a hold of you.  Also, since they are working weekends now it might be easier to get through.

I haven't written the last six months while waiting for USCIS to process each of our petitions. I wanted to thank each of you. I have enjoyed reading your responses/conversations, and I have languished with each of you as we have waited for our approvals to come. I am extremely happy for those July filers who have received their notifications/approvals, and I pray that soon each of us will receive the same notification. Again, thanks for your words; it has kept me sane since this process began...
