Holy Moly, no touches, nothing. Just an email this morning that an approval letter was sent on November 4th. November 4th, since when do they work on Sunday? Who cares, I have the email and the USCIS website was updated to reflect the same thing.

I don't think there is any fixed length of time. Some people get approval fairly quickly and for others it takes a little longer.

In your case Byron, I am hoping that all the touches means something really soon :)

Thanks Zee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbs:

I am really p*ssed off about this. Sorry, but I am! I know I'll sound like a two year old here, but it is so unfair that they are approving these later filers knowing they have such a huge backlog. :protest::ranting:

Do you think they really mean NOA1 and they are mistakenly saying NOA2?

Dunno. But they really need to brush up on the calendar since I never knew there was a 31st day of November!! :blink: I suspect they really meant 10/31/07.

Does anybody off the top of their head know how much time is added to a petition when you get a RFE????

Keep in mind they sent it, I got it and sent it back the next day, they received it and then i got 3 touches...thats where it stopped....I just hope that they dont actually have a disclaimer that says that once a RFE is issued there is something like 30-60 days additional to the 6 month adjudication commitment... :unsure:

Byron, call that good for nothing lawyer of yours to see if your NOA2 is in her pile of unopened mail! Ohters have reported getting the NOA2 without the website updating or an email. Worth a check since you did have all those touches!

Calling her is the most frustrasting thing to do!!!!!!!!!!! I wont get anything out of that lady...I'll get...." You know ill call you as soon as it arrives" .....This has become such a nightmare!!!! Besides USCIS being all screwed up..my lawyer sucks!!!!!!!

SHUT UP!!!! I dont believe it 60 days. That does not seem right.

I know what you mean about the holidays. Did you decide to buy a ticket or wait for the interview? It went so quick for us after the NOA2 and I hope it goes quick for you too :yes:

I was wondering the same thing Jason....I had a DUI 9 years ago.. :unsure:

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I think it could only make a difference if the beneficiary had a DUI.

Gillian

Hope so!

I was also wondering the same thing last night...Pat had a DUI 10 years ago....but someone told me it doesn't matter if it happened more than 5 years ago....Byron, if you already got a RFE and your DUI would've been an issue I think they would've asked you por reports, last disposition of judge, etc. So forget about the DUI and be happy!
