Hi All 

   My NAO1 was received on May 29. 2018 and waiting for NAO2 for my K1 visa.  California Service Center. 

I see most of people here was from June 2018 and already receive NAO2. 

However, I still do not receive my NAO2 yet.  I called CSC but they want me keep waiting.  Is anyone still not receive NAO2 if you are the same time as mine?

Thanks all. 

Unfortunately, you just need to be patient.

80% of processing time is dependent on who gets assigned to work your case. There are very good adjudicators, average adjudicators and poor performing adjudicators. The other 20% (and make up the cases with long delays) is due to wonky background checks and name matches. And yes, wonky is a technical term)))

I mean, I'd like to think we had an extremely straightforward case (no prior marriages, no criminal records, a 9 year age difference is nothing when it's early 40s and early 30s, three one-week meetings, met her family, Russia is not a high-fraud country, my surname is very uncommon) and we put together a good packet, but honestly chance had more than a little to do with it I'd guess.

 

Still, most May filers with timelines here do have NOA2 now, and a decent percentage of the rest have an RFE.

It is very subjective aspect by each of different reviewers.  When he/she feel you're ok, you will pass. It has not much major standers you can tell from many cases.

That's what I've been thinking of. Whichever red flags may be there, will hardly affect approval of the petition itself as the requirements are very straightforward. Embassy is a different thing and they may have fun as they please. So at USCIS stage it is probably pure luck (prompt assignment to a workaholic and fast background check response). 

i wish i can meet a workaholic lol...

Our NOA1 was Jun 6 and I've been watching one after another with NOA's after us get their NOA2 and I've been getting very frustrated.  I called USCIS and didn't accept their standard read-off-a-card responses.  I found out that our background checks were complete and now we're just waiting for an officer to review our package.  That's about all the info I could get, though.  I asked why they didn't take cases in chronological order and they told me I wouldn't understand how cases are distributed amongst the officers and I didn't press the issue because I didn't want some upset clerk to stash my application back at the bottom of the pile.  We're trying to be patient, but you're right, it's like sitting at a restaurant for hours while people who come in after you are getting their food and have already left while you're still staring at each other wondering why the gods have found you so unworthy.

Have you seen the episode of Seinfeld in the Chinese restaurant?  The perfect metaphor for USCIS...

yes. when i call USCIS, i also get the "stander" reply which is very useless.  However, i can't push them because you never know what internal things they will do behind the case.

My NOA1 is June 1st 

new website is June 6th

and haven’t heard back anything yet. I do feel exactly the way you do, but we cannot do anything to push these people to do the job that we already paid for! 

 

Many quastions come to my mind, do these people have hearts ? Do they realize that our lives, happiness, major life decisions, future with our significant ones all in between their hands and all depend on their decision? 😔

Do they know that we struggle every single minute without our second half? 

 

Sorry just needed to vent 😣
