NOA1 dated Feb. 6th and no NOA2 yet. I’m feeling very anxious today, I’m tired of this wait...

I believe they use that date as a guide... if your date is 2/5 or earlier you can submit a case inquiry for being outside of normal processing times.

Oh haha that makes sense

Ugh right!!?? Feb 15th and people with NOA1 of March 1st are getting approved already!? I am trying my damn hardest to stay positive! I just don't understand it though! But it's the government and I guess I will never understand them!

It sucks because after we FINALLY get approved it will probably be another 2 months of waiting still !! I wanted him to come before Halloween but I think that's unrealistic.... now I am just hoping he will be here before Christmas ! ugh

It'll at least be a little easier to wait those 2 months because I know we are approved! It's just waiting to move onto that stage but not knowing what the heck is going on with our petition is what is killing me!

Agreed - I also contacted our congressman last Friday and they were super nice ! They got back to me right away and said they would try to get some additional information about our case. So hopefully we can hear something from them.

That's awesome! I wouldn't even know where to begin in regards to contacting our congressman. I am going to give it unit next week at the latest to contact them. But I am calling USCIS first thing in the morning to talk to tier 2

Yes I tried calling tier 2 about 30mins ago but they said they weren't accepting calls due to call volume and to call back in the morning.

As far as contacting your congressmen - you just go to this site here:

 

https://www.house.gov/representatives#state-texas

 

Find the one for your area in Texas and visit their website.

I basically typed them up an email complaining how it isn't fair that USCIS states they go in order of date received but others way after us have been processed.

 

Good luck !~ Hope we hear something soon !

OMG! I had to wait the entire holiday weekend to receive my mail because my neighbor parked in front of my mailbox. Was expecting a paper receipt of my inquiry of out of processing time...it was NAO2 instead!!! Can’t believe it! Old site January 31, new site Feb 5. No updates to either website. NAO2 August 29.

We starting like: "ok we'll meet for Halloween", and then "Thanksgiving sounds good too", and then "Christmas would be nice" and now we are "Well I guess NYE will make it"  lol

So....would love a little help. RFE attached. I'm looking online for what to send in and I see this, which is what I sent in the application:

 

https://www.visatutor.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/I-129F-Letter-of-Intent-to-Marry.pdf

 

So obviously that was wrong. Do I just send it again but only for my fiancé (beneficaiary) signing it? Anything else needed besides the letter? Plan to send this next day air tonight to arrive tomorrow morning. After reading the other RFE reasons and looking through my application this weekend I thought this might be it. Honestly can't believe I was right. I just REALLY don't want to screw this up!

 I was feeling really bummed today for some reason and kinda like "we're never going to get approved".

So I went and took a fitness class to clear my mind and when I came out turned my phone on and I had a notification on the app!! Guys I am literally so giddy!! The new site isn't showing anything yet but the old site is showing it...I've literally checked it like 10 times to make sure! 

I'm so so happy and honestly you guys have helped keep me sane and laughing for the past 6/7months! I think I would be half crazy without you lot.

 

I guess the agents have come back to work super refreshed after their break! Wishing everyone who is still waiting a quick a speedy approval coming off the back of Labor Day Weekend! 

 

It's coming guys!! It's coming!!
