Hello everyone;

Our I130 has been approved on May 15th and we are still waiting for the NOA-2. I wanted to ask you if there is somethng we can do about since i saw a case has been approved (They got NOA-1 21/05/2007) on August 10th.

I know USCIS says "first come, first serve".. So what should i do right now? Especially a case which has been mailed after ours and got approved 10 th August.

We got soooo mad and wanted to know what we can do about this. Anyone have an idea what might went wrong or?

:time: So other VJ can help you better.

From your note above, it is the I-130 that you are inquiring about. Once it is approve, your case is forwarded to NVC for further processing of your application. You can call NVC at 603 334 0700 option 1 then 5 to talk to a live operator. Please have your USCIS Case# handy, and they should be able to answer any questions you may have regarding your case. The best time to call is between 730-800AM and 11:30-1145PM EST.

Good luck!

The thing is it hasn't been approved yet. And i know a case was approved although it's been sent after ours. I am still on the NOA-2 step.

We got NOA-1 15th May

They got NOA-1 21th May

We are still waiting for NOA-2...

They got NOA-2 on 10th August

So what the heck is "first come first serve" thing?

Ok, now I get it... On May 15 you receive your NOA1 which is the RECEIPT NOTICE. NOA2 is the APPROVAL NOTICE and that is the one that you are waiting on right now. Correct?

USCIS is backed up at this time, and depending which USCIS Service Center, unfortunately it's hard to give information regarding how long you still have to wait. You can check what Priority Dates they are currently working on right now. You can also register yourself for email notification at www.uscis.gov on your case and you can see if your case have any "touches" while waiting for the NOA2.

Like I have mentioned on previous comment, fill in your timeline so you know exactly when your case will be adjudicated.

That is very true. I have heard also that what country the beneficiary is from also plays a part so you might want to look at member's profiles whose SO is from the same country as yours. It might help you to get a better idea of the timeframes, etc.

It's hard to give an estimate on how long it might take for them to approve your petition. Our took 89 days but we have been really lucky. There are a lot of people here that had their NOA2 after 120 or 150 days, I don't want to sound negative but it's a lottery and I did not understand all the factors that play a role in the approval process.

Wish you good luck!

Thank you guys. It just doesn't make any sense to me since i have seen "first come, first serve" ####### on USCIS's web site. At this point-sadly to say- there is nothing we can do other than waiting. Anyway, I hope you guys get this freakin' visa done sooner than you expected.

Peace
