Ah that's exactly what it was, I got the message too - hadn't looked at my phone! 

 

I'll update anything I missed with tomorrow's scan

Scan running now, I know October and November had 0 approvals today. I wonder if something was going on with USCIS that didn't allow any approval updates to be finished today or sometime strange....

I got a system maintenance on the case tracker app today....not sure that is affecting notifications or not

Hello guys im new here at VJ .my case was received on december 8 and still no NOA2 received.Ive checked on the new website but im not sure where to check my status on the old website.can anybody sent me the link of the old website.The wait has been really frustrating since its going to be almost 200 days since NOA1.Thank you guys in advance

Glad to have you here. Once you receive your case number it's time to be in charge of what time you choose when things get down. To smooth that trail for your I have a few things that will help you process your visa there in the Philippines.

 

Start by visiting Hanks site where he has taken the time and research, and of course it helps if you spent 8 plus years helping folks in the Philippines sub-forum get their visas, where he has listed each step. With those steps he includes the what, when and why to completing the item. Many have used the website and have had little or NO problems securing a visa from USEM.

Next you'll want to connect with those who are processing through the Philippines in the VJ Philippines sub-forum that way you will be with like minded ppl who are sharing their experiences and also asking and answering questions. Since most in this thread are processing through another country they would be hard pressed to explain what is needed for the Philippines.

You'll find this on Hank's website but I will give it to you early and that is the Packet 3 Letter for USEM. It's found here:

Here is the Packet 3 letter.

There you have it. Everything you need to get your visa. Good luck and smooth sailing.

Oh dear, don't worry. I'm december 15 in the new website too and I haven't heard anything either. I wouldn't worry yet. And for the other question, I don't think it matters, I met my fiance in January of 2017 so. I don't think there's a problem with it.

 

Good luck and don't lose hope!!!

I met my fiance on Facebook last day of May 2017.  We had our in person meeting Sept. 2017 and I filed K1 in Nov 2017.  NOA1 12/4.  I haven't been able to visit again.  Our petition was approved 6/19.  You should be fine.

As the other ladies have said, I don’t think it should be an issue. The requirements of the K1 are that you: (a) met once within the last 2 years prior to filling and (b) you intend to marry. Some embassies are harder than others (just to bear in mind). I’ve met my fiancé 7 times and (planning a sneaky trip in August prior to my interview). I’m glad I have as it gave me so many opportunities to interact and for us to know we are complimenting to each other through various situations and above all else to know we were made for each other. However, I’m lucky as I’m from a VWP country. I’m a very scrutinous, analytical person in nature so I’m lucky to have met as often. I know it’s harder for non-VWP countries. 

 

Youll be fine.

Hello and welcome 

Its 'normal' for them to jump from one date to the next. That they are working on a later date is nothing to worry about. 

 

For this stage it does not matter how long you have been together. As long as you have met in person once in the past two years and are both free to marry and such your petition will be approved.

 

BUT!! It could be a problem for the next stage! I see you are from Tanzania and I dont know how difficult that embassy is. You might want to ask in your region specific forum if that would be a problem. Once you get your approval your case will be sent to your local embassy and they will determine wether your relationship is 'real'. Some embassies are very difficult and will want more proof of a genuine relationship if you got engaged on your first visit. So go ask your region specific forums, they know best!

Yes it matters that you have been together. But the standard that the USCIS requires is that you have met at least once in the past 2 years. Your post describes a situation that will not be a problem for you as you met 11/2017.

thank you so much guys for your responses, encouragement and advice. it means a lot at this stage to have this kind of support.

We received our hard copy for NOA2 in the mail yesterday. I hope that the process from here will speed up a bit.

I will think about you all who still wait for good news. don't give up you are almost there.

Have a wonderful weekend you all.

[Jenny17655 284]

I got my hard copy of noa2 in the mail yesterday and the date said it was approved 6/18 but I got my notification on the app and it said 6/19. Makes me think a lot if approvals get done and it just depends when the update it in the system. I hope everyone gets the good news they are waiting for!!!!!!

Since there weren't many approvals yesterday, I am hoping that means the system updates today and rains approvals!

At least Argentina has gotten some good news today! There's still a chance to pass to the next round on the World Cup! Let's keep the hopes up for a speedy NOA2 and a chance for the next round!
