I'm just afraid they lost a container with all the June 6 files in it.  I just want to know the file is somewhere.

That would really suck if they lost anyone's petition.....but to lose a whole container with ALL the June 6th files in it to be lost is just unthinkable.  It would be a catastrophic blow to the will of those filers.

Hope it's for one of our friends here.

I can't imagine waiting for more than 200 days but I guess that seems to be the trend lately.

Congratulations to WAC1790353528!  A June 6 approval!  I hope it is someone here.

 

They had an 12/6 RFE that was successfully answered.

Do they still have containers? It’s 2018, and you’d think they’d scan everything in by now. Then again, it’s the government.

usually we were seeing them do a bunch first, but honestly, I don't think there is a particular order anymore to do anything. you could get an RFE at any time, love.  I hope you don't though... I am at 204 days and I am expecting an RFE which will put processing off another 2 weeks, and then after approval another two months to get to NVC, and at BEST a month but probably 2 months until interview and then 2 weeks til he is here..... and that's if I would get an RFE TODAY.....   I feel completely helpless....  Only God can do a miracle for us .

Everything I've heard about interviews says that the CO has a large folder with the original petition and all backup and investigation paperwork in it.  It looks like it is a paper chase at least until it is completed.

Why are you expecting an RFE?

I cant remember how many 2x2 photos I sent for Jorge and I --- I feel like the photos I sent of us together wont be sufficient, and I didn't know I was supposed to sign the additional pages that listed my previous employers and addresses within 5 years.... so....... yea....  sadface...  if they could just send me the RFE that would be great

Hearing everyone talk about visiting their fiance's last week gave me a sudden impulse to buy a ticket and go see mine!! (ignoring financial logic) I'm leaving this Friday for 2 weeks to Gabon (in central Africa). I'm SO excited! The ticket is like $1,500 and I don't have vacation time, as I'm saving it for our wedding. But right after I bought my ticket, my brother in law gave me a generous gift to contribute to my trip AND I got a raise at my job!!! I think that means my trip is blessed I've been running around buying supplies because future hubby, future in laws, & friends and I will work on invitations together. (with a BLANK date lol) In African cultures everything is about coming together, family, pitching in. It's going to be so much fun!!

The hell with logic! If seeing your love is what it takes to hold you over, then by all means do it. Life is short.

Oh Shoot!

If it's just a matter of signing a few pages, it won't be a long turn around time. 

I kinda feel like I will get an RFE too.

 

Maybe that's why they haven't gotten to our cases yet

Go for it!  You will not regret it.  We all need time with our loved ones.  No matter what sacrifices are needed, life is short, spend time with the people you love.

I totally agree.

More than 200 days for NOA2, then another 60 or so days of waiting in the NVC phase, is plain ridiculous.
