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

[chuck_n_rose 0]

Congratulations SSAH. I'm not sure what I would do if I have to go as many days as you waiting for approval. You held up strong. I'm at the 90 day mark, so now I am beginning to check the website more frequently for a status update or a "touch" and hope that when I check the mail box that maybe something will come and they didn't update the website for my case. I just end up with more bills. Glad to have you off the list.

211 days later - NOA2 approval notice sent! I think we're in shock.

Congratulations!! Long overdue. Hope the rest of the journey goes more smoothly

Congrats, SSAH. I know how excited you must be (uh, at least I can guess).

Each time I see someone whose noa1 date is older than ours I say to myself, "Ok, that's the last one, we're next."

Haha....

Best wishes.

I'm thinking we won't be long behind you.

John, it's been about a week since you reached the ImmigOff and asked the "where in the Division is my file, and can we please move it along" questions. I waited right about this long before calling again, and I urge you to call again now. Once the objective "where is it" questions are answered, you should again raise the points that July/August applications have been approved before yours, and even a couple of June applications filed shortly after yours just were. Calmly ask the ImmigOff to send an e-mail to the floor regarding these points, and wait on the phone while s/he does. Maybe you can even suggest that the ImmigOff recommend that the file be hand-carried from point to point, given the undue tardiness.

I believe that doing this now, in this way, will pay off. I'm proof, and I believe that this approach also finally worked for SSAH. Facts, dispassion, and calm reinforcement are the keys.

LMAO - yeah - it really should but I haven't seen much of the sweepstakes post for a while - think people have been busy over Christmas and Jeremy has only just left this morning - he should be boarding his plane about now

Hey T, how was your Christmas?

I called again yesterday, using your prompts; got through to a guy: click, click, click......"you're file is in background checks."

"Why do you think ours is taking so long?"

click, click, click "Well, the US embassy is checking on her in Manilla and the FBI is checking on you in the US."

"Yeah, well that's what I was told last time I called. What can be taking so long? Are you sure our file is just not lost?"

click, click, click "Oh no, sir, it is not lost. It is in background checks."

"How much longer will this take?"

click, clic, click "I don't know, sir, it is in background checks. It may take 30 to 45 more days."

T, that is a summary of the call, but I did call. I thought I would give it another week and try again, I'll use your language when I call next Thursday.

Of course I got the 2 touches that probably were recorded because of my call.

Sadly, no other news.

We're hanging in.

Thank you for your interest and advice. It helps.

John

Since I have nothing else to do tonight, I just checked csis website for calif I-129F processing time. It has changed from April 29 to 6 months. I interpret that to mean anything past 6 months (i.e. prior to 6/29) is now outside normal processing times.

This is getting old.

[chuck_n_rose 0]

Hang in there John. Hope you will have news soon. Your case is outside the time window, so hopefully you will get some kind of priority.

OHHHH MY GOODNESS!!!

you see, my heart is aching so much while waiting for my NOA2 and then being very jealous and envious of people getting approvals!!

up till this time, we dont have our NOA2, neither in mail, nor in the USCIS site. The site, by the way, still says its PENDING

when my fiance got home from work just like 15 minutes ago, he got a letter in his mailbox - ITS FROM THE NVC!!! It states there about our case approved with our Manila Case Number and that within a week, it will be forwarded to the USEM in Manila Philippines!!!

I can't believe this!!!! OH BOY OH BOY!! We never got our NOA2 but the NVC now is informing us that they have our papers!!!
