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. 

Thank u. I'm a lurker and have a long wait ahead of me. But like seeing others get approved. Gives me hope.

IN REGARDS TO WHICH DATE TO USE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

noa1 date is actually they date on ur hard copy. Sadly if u reach the magical 220 day u must wait till 225 to contact Uscis. They use what the new site says. Even if ur paper says X date. 

They added 5 days onto everyone’s accepted on NOA1

That is some news and any news is good news!! When I spoke to tier 2 yesterday they said that my file is with the adjudicator. It means that it's not pending security checks. We just got stuck with a slowpoke 

@Sarac9

I know you gave directions on how to call a day or two ago. Do you mind giving me the phone #?

 

I feel emotionally drained today :(

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.

 

I logged in and there was no update. Just the same old "case received" we're all so used to! :jest: I've logged on this website atleast 60 times since 6:30 this morning. No changes. I see everybody got email + old or/and new website... but i just got an email with no further change... Normal or not? :wacko:

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 :) 

Perhaps the guy was having a bad day.....we've all been there. Don't let it get to you. :D

I haven't gotten a letter and I would advise not waiting for it since things get lost in the mail as well as it really slows down the process.

 

I got my NOA2 and I waited two weeks because I've seen a couple of persons post that they called within a week or so and their cases got sent back to the USCIS for reverification and such. I called on Monday in the day and my case wasn't there yet but when I called them at (603) 334-0700 last night around 8pm EST, the rep asked me some verification questions such as the names on the petition as well as DOB and then he confirmed that they received my case and he gave me the case number as well as the invoice number. He advised that when my case has left the NVC and is sent to my embassy I would be contacted via my email that I provided to him during our call.

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 

Calling everyday or early does not make any difference at NVC level. There are lots of cases that got around 6th day. That used to be the norm. Those cases did not go back because of high call volume, they went back for lots of other possible reasons but people like to find a reason from what they can think off.

 

there may not be a second letter(other than email) don’t wait for it, also not everyone really knows everything at NVC either, so don’t trust everything they say.

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. 

Omg call yourself. Guys get hurt really easily...

What to do after NOA2:

Spoiler

After USCIS approves the petition, it is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will assign you a case number and send your petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where your fiancé(e) lives.

The NVC will mail/email you a letter when it sends your fiancé(e) case to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Once you receive this letter, inform your fiancé(e) to take the below-listed actions to apply for a K-1 visa and prepare for the interview.
