First Hurdle Cleared!

[Phil & Ningning]

WooHoo!!!!!

It seems that CSC actually has been working on our petition. I came home this evening to find an email from them saying that NOA2 is in the mail. It was slightly quicker than I anticipated. No RFEs, maybe things will continue to progress smoothly. One can only hope.

Congratulations Phil and Ningning   It is good to see something moving

It's all downhill from here. Once it is over it seems like a sort dream instead of the nightmare of today.

Wow. It took almost 6 months. Congrats.

Well, this is really strange. I was looking through some WAC # and I found this one, WAC 04 095 xxxxx. I know that it was filed the same day as me, Feb 20 (it is in fact an I129f that is numerically right before mine) and USCIS says they were approved on June 28.

How can they approve someone who filed on Jan 28 after someone who filed on Feb 20???

I dont get it !!!!!

Phil, congratulations!!! Perhaps we'll be able to have that get-together sooner than you thought

 

 

cosmiclobster,

 

yeah, it doesn't make sense that they would approve the petitions out of order like that, but it has actually been rather common

Could be a number of reasons! There have been couples here at CFL that have gone through at break neck speed, while others just seem to run a snails pace or slower. It is not out of the norm for this to happen. Look at my time line below and you will see one way that someone could pass you by.

 

Hang in there! It will all come to pass!

Good news indeed. Seems like the visa process resembles one of those long balloons. You start to squeeze out the efficiencies at one end (the service centers) and the other end (GZ) starts to bulge.

 

Good luck.

 

As to the question about sequential processing, I was told that most service centers do process in sequence, but it's done on sort of a batch processing basis. Examiner A gets some petitions, Examiner B gets some, etc., etc. Sometimes, Examiner A get his/her batches done before Examiner B does, so the sequence is not truly linear.
