GUYS I CAN’T BELIEVE MY EYES 😍

 

NOA1 - 15th Feb

NOA2 - 21th August

 

So we were actually approved yesterday I just limit myself to checking once a day to prevent torturing myself with the dreaded “we’ve received your case” 😂

 

We checked just after 4:30am (in Texas) this morning and saw our new approval message.

About an hour later my fiancé received a text message from USCIS saying there was an update 🙌🏼 (Don’t worry USCIS we know we are addicted to refreshing your site) 😂

 

BRING ON THE REST OF THE FEB APPROVALS AND ALL THE JANS AND 2017 CASES STILL HANGING IN THERE!!

 

You guys are next ❤️

 

Congratulations!!

 

I am Feb 8 (old) and Feb 13 (new).

It seems like they just skipped us ☹️

Any Feb 8 filers still waiting for NOA2 here?

I'm shaking! We were approved! I received an email this morning saying they have taken action on our case - approved!!! My fiancé (US petitioner) has not received any texts or anything. I am the beneficiary who signed up for an account on the new site.

 

NOA1: Feb 15 (old site), Feb 19 (new site)

NOA2: August 21

 

Wow! I am beyond thrilled. Just so everyone knows, my fiancé has a very common last name, we didn't send passport stamps in our petition (I did send lots of boarding passes, itineraries, hotel receipts, 6-10 photos printed on regular printer paper), we met online and I didn't include the DOS or terms (but I did mention the website name and that it was a blogging website).

So this might be a dumb question, but here it goes... I've read people talk about the background checks holding cases up. Do they do a background check on petitioner and the foreign fiance? Even if the fiance has never been in the US? Just curious, because I know my background check with the FBI is good because I have done them several times for state licenses..... either way I know we will still waiting awhile, but I am just curious.

Back ground checks are done on both parties. They wanna make sure everything is in order and that there is no criminal history that may effect either of u. 

The more common the surname the longer the checks take.

This is not fully correct
To the extent beneficiary has never been to the US/is well known/travels a lot, it's kind of impossible to do background check on them - hence the need for police reports from the beneficiary of everywhere they have lived since age 16.
The police reports are equivalent to the petitioner background check in the US

Thank you for clarification.  It, seems odd that they would wait till the end of the process to check on beneficiary. They have to do some type of initial check on the beneficiary. 

Just imo.

This makes more sense.  And the police report doesn't come into play until packet 3 correct?  So it would have nothing to do with NOA2.

Lol
welcome to immigration.

I mean in a way- think about it
U.S. has no control over EVERYBODY. They ensure that its petitioner is alright first
THEN, the embassy and it's people do work on beneficiary. It's why I think people get stuck in AP- most likely beneficiary background checks. They see that police report/info on DS-160 and they gotta track it all down.
So if petitioner and beneficiary has messy pasts, they are in for a long process (long path to NOA2, long time in AP after interview)

Police report is one of the things you bring to interview. Has no impact on NOA2

Thanks for ur response.

 

would it be unfair to assume that uscis can use the beneficiary pass port info to do checks on the beneficiary? If you think about it. To get the passport u must pass back ground checks. Maybe not as in depth. 

Since beneficiary don't have ssn they obviously can't check them using that process. 

Also, if some one says they have no previous record. Only show up with record from one country even tho they lived in multiple country's. Didn't bother to inform uscis of this also. There has to be other ways to do back ground checks. 

 

Again this is my solo thinking with my pea brain bouncing around a massive cavity.😂😜😂

Remind me-

Does the I-129F ask for beneficiary passport?
because I suppose you could use the passport- but I doubt U.S. has access to every nation's database to run a search. 
Again, if beneficiary has never stepped foot on america soil, I don't know how you can track them.

The good news about immigration is nothing goes unnooticed
I heard the other day a lady denied of citizenship because a mess up occurred during the I-129F process
So even if beneficiary enters by lying about police records etc, U.S. Will find out at one point or the other
So I don't think they care that much.
Because at the interview state, so long as those criminal questions come back NO and you're not an avid traveler/from some certain more looked at countries, you got nothing to worry about
