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

[Scott n Yenifer 0]

Thanks Scott.. but I have another stupid question to ask.. um will the officer ask me who is my lawyer if I made that up? Like if I said my lawyer said dah dah dah dah.. will the officer ask about my lawyer? Coz I do not have any.. thanks..I'll call them if by Friday I still don't hear anything or atleast a touch. Thank you.

No one will ask for you to prove it...the only reason for saying that is to play like an innocent little lamb gone astray from the heard and you can't find your way back It seens as though when you play dumb and are extremely nice they go out of their way to help and inform you...(just my opinion).

Best of luck!!

Scott

Thanks Scott.. so with my situation (look at my timeline) can you kinda help me what should I say to the officer when I call this Friday if still no NOA2? Like what do you think is appropriate to say about what my lawyer said about my case? Since my case has resumed already from a RFE response back in August 22. Thanks for all the help.

I think in your case where you already have an RFE be very honest and very specific about the questions you pose to them. Try to explain details about the RFE and ask about the time frame...and why is it taking as long as it is and what more can be done to expedite the petition. Hopefully the officer you speak to can give you some answers.

Keep us posted.

Scott

Congratulations to all the recent approvals... and good luck.

Pekewl: I see our timelines are 1 day apart. I am tempted to call using the RFE, but logically I know its too soon. Should we just keep waiting? I know the approvals are coming about 120+----what does anybody else think about calling? Ramzis and Alane

ramzis51,

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but I want to keep it real for everyone. As you all can see by my timeline it took about 142 days for our approval and I do know how tough the wait is...and by the looks of things that, unfortunately seems to be the norm now. Also I want you guys to know that when I spoke to an officer to confirm our approval on 09/24 she told me that it would be 30-45 working days before NVC received our case and not to bother calling...yeah right!!!...now that used to take about a week and now is supposedly up to 6-9 weeks!!!

I will let you guys know how accurate this info is as time passes and I have more news.

Thanks Scott again for all the help.. I will call this Friday but I hope I don't have too. I want my NOA2 pls USCIS.. I'll keep you guys updated.

CONGRATULATIONS on the new approvals!

I'm sure we'll be receiving more this week so that all the May filers will be approved soon.

Kits and Faith, hope you receive your noa2 soon, our fellow kababayan.

God bless us all!

We all need to be patient but even in the strongest willed person, patience only get you so far. We are all human, we all feel. We are all in this wait together and I know I don't just speak for myself when I say this forum does make it easier knowing we not in this alone and there are others who understand the shear frustration of having your future on hold whilst it sits in a pile in an office.

Thank you to everyone here for your ongoing support. We've had many laughs so far!

wow, FIVE approvals down so far for the 24th, peoples! thinsgs are moving at California!

*does restrained little desk dance*

of course, the shortest NOA1 - NOA2 gap of the five was 133 days, so the averages aren't dropping massively yet, but isn't it nice to know things are still happening there, after the flood *ahem * of approvals last week! and if we take someone's speculation of the VJ numbers being roughly 10% of the whole, that's FIFTY approvals on the 24th

(yes, I know that's wild speculation, but let's be happy, huh? heaven knows we've been annoyed and sad for long enough )

just think if they could manage 5 VJ approvals a day thats 25 a week (mon-fri) or 100 a month......things would be back on track in no time!.....ahhhh it's nice to dream!

As long as the averages are dropping it is a good sign of things to come. Backwards in this case is always better than foward. I will take any good signs at this point in time. Hopefully, all May filers will be approved this month. Good luck everyone

and the current tally stands at eight, all on the 24th!

I hope a whole lot of people have forgotten to update their timelines; we might get even more when they remember

Ramzis51: I do understand your temptation about calling USCIS(I get it too) but at the same time I do agree with Scott in that the wait time has grown and/or is growing at a fairly significant rate for K1/K3. Hence, I am going to give myself a few more weeks before I call them. Since I am a K3 filer, I am personally thinking to call them late Oct to mid-November since thats when my I-130 will have passed 6 months. Having said that, I 'd also like to tell u and this is just from my sheer observation at VJ, K1 seems to get approved about a month or so faster than a similar time K3. Again, this is purely thru my observation and it could be incorrect but looking at other VJers K1 approval timelines, it seems to be the case.. Anyhow, so it may make more sense for you to call them a bit earlier than compared to my timeline.. say early to mid Oct. IMHO, I would say wait at least till the average number of K1 CSC approval days(as of recent) and then it maybe... again maybe more beneficial for you to call. Look at other K1 filers @ CSC who filed around your dates to see if their NOA2s are starting to trickle.. Thats a good bechmark for you. And if you really are the patient one then I guess wait a bit longer. I think the chances of a USCIS rep looking into your case little more closely increases when u someone has waited for an extended period of time... or atleast they are more sympathetic and may tell u more than they would to a recent filer... again this is just my opinion thru my past immigration dealings...

Hope this helps. Good Luck to all and congrats to all the recent approvals.

Regards.

Will you please tell me where you are able to view the approvals on a daily basis? I know the Immigration Timelines has a whole list of them, but how do you specify a certain day?

[StillThePrettiest 3]

I just go here - I've ranked the results by NOA2 date (though there's a weird date at the top because someone's put in '8' instead of '08' )

And CSC have had ONE K3 NOA2 since 15th Sept and NONE between 09/20 thru 09/25... ofcourse unless K3 people are getting approved and not updating their timelines... YA RRRIGHT... who am I kidding? This is gettting ridiculous... oh wow.. whats new @ USCIS...

Ok rant off....

Tc and good luck to all...
