Facts: Recieved NOA1 from VSC on March 16th

Received RFE on april 16th

RFE was simple reaffirmation that IMbRA did not apply to me

Mailed RFE back to VSC on May 2nd, email on the 4th that processing resumed

Official last "touch" on May 9th

Have talked to the folks at VSC some things I learned: Case has been on adjudicators desk since 5/23, and another today I got "Case is being worked on as right now, that's all I can tell you"

Other information: I have visited my fiance 4 times in her country. She's been here twice all in the past year. She visited both times on a tourist visa and was 100% compliant with those visas.

I guess i'm just really frustrated I haven't got my NOA2 yet from VSC. The only thing keeping me sane is the fact that little or nothing seems to be coming the last week for NOA2 and NOA1's from VSC. But if May filers start seeing NOA2's before me, I'm seriously going to start panicking. If I hear nothing by tuesday I plan to call VSC again, and if I have nothing by thursday, I think i'm going to give my senator a try..

Anybody have any theories on why i'm taking so long?

Your case is sitting on someone’s desk. Patience is the name of the game. I know you are going through the VSC and things generally move faster, but you are still in a very good position.

What I did was plan out a calendar with all the dates based on the MAXIMUM timelines. That way when you receive something earlier, it is much better.

You can't always compare your case to others "But if May filers start seeing NOA2's before me, I'm seriously going to start panicking. " Do not take this approach, it will drive you crazy. Other members sent their applications the EXACT same day as me, through the same service center and their fiancés were from the same country and I received my NOA2 10 days earlier than them. So you cannot compare your case to others, you will drive yourself crazy.

I know from the day we had filed it took our case 3 months to get approved form VSC. I realized that there were some people who were getting approved sooner than ours were and believe me that happens. Every case is different even though VSC is more than likely faster than the other service centers sometimes they can take a little longer also. I know it is hard to be patient but stay strong and you will see soon that you will have your NOA2. Just hang in there a little longer. I know this whole process is frustrating i know!!!! I haven't seen my fiance in 17 months and its killing me. Patience is definetly key! But its hard to be patient when you miss your love. I wish you all the best on your journey and a speedy approval! :thumbs:

Perhaps VSC is delayed because they are correcting an incorrect phone number that they sent out.
