How do we find out info after I-129F is sent

[CherieandBrian 0]

Hello everyone, Im a newbie! Last thrusday me and Brian sent in our I-129F package in and the cheque. So other than looking in Brians acct to see if the cheque is cashed, how can we know if anything is happening. Im not tring to be impatient or anything, i just remember reading last week on here that people knew before they received a hard copy in the mail.

Not much you can do until the cheque is cashed or you get the NOA-1 in the mail. You will need the account number (either listed on the back of the cheque which will start with WAC or on your NOA-1) to set up an account on the USCIS website. When that is done then you'll receive updates on your case via e-mail

And yes, this is a waiting game. Sorry to say, but get used to it!

Good luck.

Correct but in most cases the only email update is the approval notification. Consider you filed into a black hole and expect no information for about 100 days or so. Be happy if it is sooner but not alarmed if it's longer.

California Service Center has been averaging 50 to 55 days on approvals based on the VJ statistics and the approvals read in the February and March Filers progress forums. You should on average do much better than 100 days. I did it in 46 days. My friends in February K-1 CSC 2010 were all in the 50 day range. One or two petitions are still waiting.

If you go down one level in the Forums, below K-1 Fiancee Visa Process and Procedures is K-1 Fiancee Visa Progress Reports. Usually someone starts a thread shortly after the beginning of each month for people that have filed "I-129F" at CSC for the month of April, or May 2010. Same thing for "I-129F" at VSC (Vermont which you are not). Check down at that level of the forums for the right filing time for you and participate in the group. Get to know the other members and read postings and wait together. It did help pass the time.

Good luck
