July 2009 Filers

Our check has been cashed too. My american monkey says he can't know which day it was exactly. Hrm.

About NOA1, did you guys get an email or just the receipt by regular mail?

Ah Christmas... There's a good chance that Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays slow down our process.

I was aiming for that date too, but then I realized that it would probably be better if I spend this "last french Christmas" here with my family before leaving.

"Hey Mom, merry christmas, ho but by the way, I'm moving three days before it happens!" I don't know, it doesn't sound right to me.

Plus I spent Xmas in the US last year already.

So well I just hope that it will happen before february, before I turn one year older.

I sent my application the same day as you. I knew my check was cleared when I checked my bank account, but I still didn't hear from the USCIS. I used the number on the scanned check on my bank account to verify the statue of my application. It says it was received on the 20th. Nothing else. I'm waiting for my NOA1.

I just got the letter in the mail. When I saw people saying they got the number off the back of their check I thought hmm, do I have to go to the bank. But I went on to the Chase website (who I bank with) and they have a picture of the front and the back of the check. On the back it provides the EAC number so I used that to log into the Homeland Security (whatever it is) website and saw that the NOA1 was on its way. But then the letter finally came.

That's exactly what I did, though it was not easy to read the number stamped on the back of the check. I hope I'll get my NOA1 soon.

Our NOA1 hardcopy was in the mail today!

I made a little mistake on our timeline, we sent it the 16th, they received it and processed it on the 17th.

Et voila !

That's funny, we joined VJ almost the same day and filed almost the day...!

It looks like it's going to be a long wait for us than I expected. When we started collecting paperwork several months ago, I was really believing that we would have our visa in 6 months or a little less if we were lucky. Now I am not counting on it happening for several months more. I was really hoping I would have him here with me by Christmas. It has only been a month since I last saw him, but it seems like so much longer. I am going to go nuts while I wait. My fiance's internet was down yesterday, and I had worked late the night before, so I am really having separation pains this week!

Goodnight, let's hope the VSC speeds things up for us a bit!

Hola Kristin,

I find no reason to believe that the process will take more than 6 months. Do you?

Start looking for your fiance's Christmas gift from now. You won't believe how the time goes by fast, aand I'm sure by then he will be here.

6 months would be mid-January, and it looks as though Spain has a longer gap between when they receive the application until the beneficiaries interview (there are not many people from Spain who have filled out their timeline. My fiance is also originally from Peru, so I don't know if that is going to add complexity or complications. The only thing I know he needs is to get his police record from both countries. I am just hoping there is not anything else that I haven't found on the guides.

Much of his family is still in Peru, and his mother has passed on, so I was really hoping he would be here with me for Christmas, as I live in Florida without any family either.

Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between December 4, 2009 and December 26, 2009*.

Remember this is a VERY rough estimate, definitely not a definite date....but by December 15 or so i'll know it'll be getting close.

Us July guys getting approved before Christmas is most likely wishful thinking (but who knows!).

Tomorrow is another day closer to approval.

If it says "between December 4 and 26" then it will be the 4th. A bit of optimism.
