ATTENTION JULY FILERS!

[weedebz 0]

We check ours twice a week. Tuesday evening and saturday evening GMT. Just to satisfy ourselves that it's still there. Ideally I've heard you don't want to see a touch within first 4 weeks after NOA1 as that points towards an RFE which non of us want right???!!!???

Good luck to everyone, we are all in this together.

We filed in April and I am starting to think I will be lucky if I can get there by December. The approvals seem to have slowed down lately. I hope that the higher fees mean they will hire more staff and process the applications a little quicker but I am not holding my breath.

really? i have never heard that before...does someone look over all of the petitions to make sure they are complete, before they actually go through and decide whether or not the petition is approved? so one generally gets an rfe much earlier than they would have been expecting to get the approval notice?

I'm sure it depends on the processing center. Since VSC USED TO (not currently) processed applications in about 30 days, a touch in the first 4 weeks would have been GREAT. I don't know about now, though.

So, now that we July filers are waiting around for NOA-2, how exactly do we resist the overwhelming urge to check our petition status online several times per day, even though we have signed up for email notification and haven't received any email? It's a completely illogical thing to do, and yet it is also completely compulsive. Or am I the only one???

Nope it's not just you, I check mine several times a day too!

I'm hoping that I'll check less and less as the time goes by though.

VSC got our package a week ago as of tomorrow.

My check still hasn't cleared the bank yet...is that normal?

I can't believe it's taken the government/my bank (which is Navy Federal Credit Union of all places!) a week to cash/deposit/clear a $170 check. It's not like I'm not from within the States!

As far as I know CSC receives the case, assigns a case number and then put's the case into a box on a shelf until it reaches the front of the queue and is assigned to someone to work on. It seems that every once in a while an odd case gets put through early but this is the exception rather than the rule. I won't be bothering to check my status much until they have finished processing the April filers.

dont worry too much, thats normal...i would say that after 3 weeks you can start to worry...my check was cashed 10 days after VSC recieved the packet...and thats VSC, the supposedly 'fast' service center =)

we're still waiting for NOA1, so not just yet

No definitely not - we haven't had our NOA1 yet but I know I will check all the time just because... well that's the sort of thing I do!!

so if I sent my K1 to the Nebraska SC, which then forwards it to CSC...who actually issues me my NOA1? Does NSC send me the NOA1 and then forward it to CSC....or do I wait for them to forward to CSC and they issue the NOA1?

We sent our application to the Nebrasla SC and my NOA1 actually came with the statement "Your application is being processed at the California Service Center"....So I suppose that it came from CSC. Don't worry much about it. It will get processed somewhere anyway.

I finally got the I-129F application mailed today!

I thought I would feel great now, but I mostly I feel nervous that I did something wrong and depressed about the waiting.

Oh well, the best thing to do is keep busy right?
