i agree!! I didnt even know what they could have possibly wanted! I guess they have to RFE someone lol... I did as they asked and responded quickly... now i need them to hurry up with our approval so we can get this show on the road lol

I hope they turn around with out NOA2 from RFE immediately

thats awesome - thanks for the info.

my fiancé is always super hesitant about calling frequently but i know that it's the only way to stay on top of it. especially since the lady on the phone he spoke to first time told him that we're expecting to be waiting "6 weeks".. so annoying 

Same thing here! I got my NOA2 on April 6th and my fiance called for the first time today. The guy seemed annoyed and told him to "go back and read your letter where it states that it can take 6-8 weeks for your case to reach us". Now my fiance doesn't want to call back until it's been 6 weeks! I guess I'll have to call back myself by the end of this week.

So rude! I've read some of them are really nice though and actually encourage you to call as many times as you want. I hope I get a nicer one next time I call!

Yea 6 weeks is a bit much. I would give them two weeks. I think 6 weeks would be the time it would take them to give you something by mail lol

NOA1: October 16

 

I received this email this morning, no update on the app tracker, no update on the old or new website. First news i got from them in 184 days. What does it mean? RFE? Denied?

I don't recall seeing anything anywhere on the NOA2 that reads 6-8 weeks.  And they are giving a "standard" response that covers all visa types etc.

We've called every day, and though some people are shorter in their responses, there have been more that have been super nice, even delivering the "We haven't received" news.  Don't worry about calling too much and it's pretty likely it won't be anywhere close to 6-8 weeks.

Exactly! I went and re read the picture that my fiance sent of our NOA2 hard copy and nowhere does it say 6-8 weeks. I only read something about allowing a minimum of 30 days to hear form them, but I told my fiance it's all BS and just the bureaucratic response. Thank you for sharing your experience with them! It makes me dread my next call a little less

I am the pessimist in my relationship. And am soon to give up. Luckily my fiance keeps me grounded. Thank you for your encouraging words. I've seen your other posts to others and you are a true optimist.

You have to sign in on the website I guess. There's not much else that can be said. Also, if it said something about a name change then it's highly likely there will be approval shortly after (a day or so) so look out for that.

Lots of you getting updates around my NOA1 today... hoping we hear too... 😭
