Hello Augustines!

 

Yesterday was a full RFE day everywhere. 

However as we now know, by so many vjers here getting their noa2s in the mail dated these dates too,

Approvals will be in the mail! I am hoping for another fruitful weekend with silent noa2s in the mail!!!

 

What a happy weekend it was with all the good news (yet was looooong and looooooong)

 

I can't wait for them to finally give us some updates!

It really is time to see some 21s and further received date updates!!!

I am in this process for 4 years+ due to a few things.  I am doing a second K-1 for my fiance.  I am widowed, I have two younger kids with me, very stable income of comfy 6 fig + , multiple rental properties so its not easy for me to move  else I would have had moved.  I am thinking of moving now since this process is complete bull.  Due to my engagements and kids I cannot travel so easy to Pakistan to see my fiance nor she can travel on visa waiver.  Not before but now I can move out to Pakistan or Dubai for a few years.  If this trend continues we may see brain drain from the US.  USCIS needs to fix their mess and they need to do it soon.

I couldn't agree more about the brain drain. I'm living abroad in a cheap country with my fiance while we wait for the visa. I'm working for a U.S. company but I'm pausing grad school and not paying sales tax or contributing much to the U.S. economy. My fiance wants to start a company in the U.S. and this is all delaying that, not to mention making us feel alienated and unpatriotic. This is the argument I tried to make when I wrote to my senators and representative. But unfortunately, I haven't heard much from them.

The brain drain is incredibly true. I'm fairly young at 22 and we already plan on moving to Canada after a while (my career has started here and it's the best financial decision for us both right now). I can't begin to express how much easier it is to move to Canada. I currently hold a BSBA in economics and plan to have my company pay for my MBA - and that productivity will not be staying here.

+1on the brain drain -> 26 year old business owner with post-grad degree. You'd think someone like me and my fiancee (also with 2 degrees and wanting to own a business) would be the type of people America would love to keep around, but instead we'll stay here long enough to get married, introduce her to my family, and then both moving back to her country ASAP. Good riddance to the USA!

USCIS...... 181 DAYS

Ah, August!

 

July filer popping in. I know it's frustrating! It will get to you! It sucks and everything feels like your entire life is out of your hands because of one little piece of paper.

 

Take it from someone who got their NOA2 after 220 days: IT WILL HAPPEN.

 

Until then, coffee. If you have a dog, hug it. Try not to focus on the days, focus on your lover, your family and keep yourself sane

Another day. 198 days. 

Don’t really like going to 200 days but whatever.

 

Did anybody try to talk to a tier 2 operator in the past? How can you do it?

I know they updated their processing times now to aug 1 which is good. But I don’t really want to wait till they reach September before our paper moves. 

 

I know wait for more days lol. I have been waiting 198 days and most of you I know have been waiting more than that. So yes. If anybody had any experience talking to tier 2, please give me some light. Thank you.

Alot of Silent NOA2s going on. Did you sign up for informed delivery ?  Keep a eye on that mailbox. You may have already been approved but dont know it yet

Here:

There are lots of NOA2s coming in mail without an update on case tracker.

Please register for informed delivery if it is applicable in your region

USPS INFORMED DELIVERY - https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action

Dear diary  Just reading how this process breaks people up is just sad. Your whole life revolves around one thing and waiting becomes torture just to be with your loved one. Come to work check email, check VJ folder, check USPS informed delivery, check app...Log in to VJ and repeat!!! I have good patient days but some are treacherous like today . I wish I knew what I was getting myself into so that I would plan more visits to see my love though out the K1 process.  Praying that USCIS has all the manpower and tools to push these applications out. PS  August 21 filer day 184 thanks for listening
