Can anyone tell me if you've been approved for the I-129F if you filed August or after? I believe only the I-130 are getting approved now that I've read so many different threads.

I'm trying to determine if I should cancel the K-3.

If you use the Timeline search function here on VJ, it shows three K3 approvals for filers after Aug 1/07, but that is consistent with what USCIS has posted for their processing dates (i.e. currently Aug.19 at California).

Yes, 13 I129F/K3 petitions have been approved per VJ users. As late as NOA1 dated August 29th

The last NOA2 for a I129f petition was document on February 13th by a VJ user

Can anyone tell me if you've been approved for the I-129F if you filed August or after? I believe only the I-130 are getting approved now that I've read so many different threads.

I'm trying to determine if I should cancel the K-3.

I still don't see August approvals. NOA1 isn't important. Assuming by their sending dates, their PRIORITY (when USCIS received petition)date is before July 30.

That what USCIS states on their page they going by PRIORITY date.

Hopefully something will change with this inconsistent K3 situation.

I really wish all K3 to have choice to pursuit whichever they want.

The second priority date is for the I-129F and there are a few for August. When you're file the I-130 and then the I-129F later, the receipt day for the first does not count as your priority date. It's the receipt date for the I-129F. That is what was explained to me and what USCIS considers as my priority date.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Indeed USCIS goes by I-129 dates.

However please check the difference on your NOA1 for I-129 between PRIORITY DATE and RECEIPT DATE.

Priority date is the date when USCIS received petition (let say about 3 days after sending). Not when they produce receipt about receiving.

On USCIS. gov there is information they go by PRIORITY dates. And picture witk NOA1 and priority date is highlighted. Hence I don't see August approvals.

I hope it helps.

NOA1 is the priority date for each petition. So when you check the timeline on the USCIS website you compare the date to your NOA1 that is specificly given to you from the USCIS for that exact purpose only.

I129f NOA1 I130 NOA1 are the priority for their individual petition. they do not switch once your recieve another NOA

I hope that helps clerify things for you.

Calamitla" So I pay overnight shipping and you mail through us postal and get there 10 days later you think that the USCIS is going to give your package priority over the one that was there first?

They were not approved in August they have a NOA1 date of August. Some I129f were arppoved in Febuary 22nd 2008.

I just showed everyone the whole list becasue people like to see the different times for processing.

Their are 13 people on that list that have a I129f NOA1 date in the month of August. I just did some extra work since I was in the spread sheet already. Some people do not knwo how to access or manipulate that information.

And this is very nice of you. But your list in your own words is example of 13 people aprovals with I-129F NOA1 with August date.

Again I'm trying to say in theirs timelines the sending date for I-129 petition is IMPORTANT, because theirs PRIORITY dates are still in JULY.

please check here ,on right side is example of NOA1

There are a couple of people that sent the I-129F in August so how would they have receipt or priority date from July?

It's Awednumi and GP & PM.

Are you looking at the colums of when the I-129 was sent or the I-130?
