Waiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?

[MKCT 0]

He also said VSC is processing April 18th application....he put me on hold for more than 5 minutes, two times and asked me if my petition was a K1 or K3..........so one more time that proves, they don't know anything.

It is funny that you mentioned, "vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert." As a matter of fact, when I called USCIS the other day to check my status the person I worked for was based in New Mexico. He said he was just a customer service rep and they were out there. I couldn't help but to reflect back when some of us "newbies" got into it with the vets who jumped up in down in their post to us saying when we called customer service we were delaying our NOA2 because it was adjudicators we were speaking with. Well, I was right of course...when you call the customer service number, you do not get adjudicators in VSC...as a matter of fact, you get someone all the way in New Mexico who has no clue exactly what is going on with your package other than it is at VSC. Having said this, I must admit that it is possible when you do the "RFE Trick call" maybe you do speak to an adjudicator. I would like to know. For whoever uses the RFE trick next time ask them at the end of the call where they are located and if they are an adjudicator. Good luck all!

Yep, the guy I spoke with yesterday doing the RFE trick was pretty clueless. I got more information from the automated guy you hear when you first call.

Sorry if I'm butting in here and being off topic, but ZeeNusah, I can't help but notice your interview date is in like March?? It's like 5 months away! Why such a long time if you don't mind me asking? Just curious...

Is it possible for either of you to call in the morning? I called around 9:30 AM on a Thursday morning and went through all the prompts directing me to the "question about a Request for Evidence" (which are all those numbers that soch posted). I knew the automated system was transferring me because it said "We are connecting you to the Vermont Service Center." after I entered my EAC receipt number.

Yeah... if you can't call during their work time which is probably 9-11AM and 2-4PM EST (assuming they are very government-type employees and take 3 hour lunch breaks and work 9-4), you're probably not going to get someone on the line.

If you get a useless Cust. serv. rep (didn't hear anything transferring you to VSC), just say that you got an RFE in the mail. They may look at your receipt and say "it just says hear that your case is pending". From what I see on here, they send out stuff without ever updating it online (which is what the dumb cust. service rep is looking at -- so they'll never know the difference). So, I say to just insist that you got one and then the dumb rep will feel like they "have" to transfer you to VSC. Do anything you can to get the Cust. Serv. Rep. to transfer you to a VSC officer -- Then, you'll get stuff done.

Mirla, I cannot rest until you have your NOA2!

I called today and got transfered to USCIS, this guy like I said before don't know anything he said that the only info they have is when the case was received, like the same info we get from the website. The don't have the petitioner names nor beneficiaries. The ones who got all the info are the immigration officers, I guess those are the people at the RFE trick. He also said that USCIS customer service is a big organization....bla bla bla....

Mirla, when I was told to call and not enter my case number, i am not sure if it was customer service. All I know is that I said i needed to know the status of my petition and that i was conserned because i never received a hard copy NOA1 and if they could please confirm they have my correct address. She, without asking me my case # she put me on hold and transfered me to an officer. The officer asked for my case #, confirmed my address then told me I was approved since Oct. 15 and that I should receive a letter in the mail because they did indeed have my correct address.

Hope this helps, girl! Keep insisting. You either have an rfe or something is not right. Best of luck, we are all pulling for you.

I know. Its a long time. But in Ghana the wait is 4-6 months.

Sorry but if after hiring more than 200 people VSC are not able to approve one K1 by day, that does mean that they stop instructing K1

I'm so frustrated with this tonight. Just returned from visiting my fiance and wish I had just stayed. It bums me out to think even if our NOA2 arrived tomorrow, we still have 6 months on the other side of it. Stupid "Ghana time" - it's an American Embassy, it should run on American time (better: New York time ). Hang in there Zee, as bummed as it makes me, it gives me hope to see your time line moving towards the entry date.

I think that the new officer who signed for their petition started working at VSC in September and he is working only on the packages he signed for...so then every package he signed for will skip all the earlier petitions that were signed for by Mr.Novak...

What????? That is unacceptable!

Heh I was joking ok? Don´t have an explanation for what happened

And where did you get that information??????

If that were the case only P. Novak would have been working at VSC and we would all still be waiting. Do you really think there is only one person who works at VSC?

And how do you know the new officer was hired in September?

If that were the case many more September filers would have been approved by now.

There are many many many people who work at VSC.

Do not go around making statements like that. Too many people here are already stressed about the whole process without throwing in bogus, erroneous information.

Relax...was a joke...

Honestly were you expecting any different. Not only will you not get the right information, you will NEVER get the same information twice.

Mr. Paul Novak is the Director at VSC. Does anyone honestly think he is sat there signing anything ....other then the back of his paycheck.....???!!! The P. Novak signature is no different then the form letter syndrome that seems to run amuck in our government offices..... *winks*

Folks,

I am getting quite tired of waiting and waiting. I wish I could take time off and visit my fiance, but can't because of work.

She does have a tourist visa and has visited the US 4-5 times in the past, before we were engaged. Can she use that tourist visa to visit? I have read the forums/guides.. but wanted to find out from this tight knit group as we have communicated frequently and I have a particular level of trust in this support group.

Your perspectives would be highly appreciated in maintaining my sanity.

Thanks.
