I mailed everything off yesterday to Vermont...and the waiting game begins. Funny thing is, rather than being excited, I was rather down today. Perhaps it is the roller-coaster effect.

Is anyone else having problems checking their USCIS account? I tried logging into my customer account today and it gave me this error message: "The system is unable to validate your IP address at this time". So I went to go check my case using the receipt number and it said "Case retrieval failed" and didn't bring any information up. Anyone else having this problem?

I just checked mine also, it worked fine!

I-129F mailed to VSC June 18,2010.

I-129F delivered to VSC June 21,2010.

Waiting, waiting for NOA1.

July 12, 2010 VSC states petition was rejected (no reason given) and was being returned however they did give me the case #.

Waiting, waiting, did not get returned petition instead got hard copy of NOA1 in mail on July 26, 2010 with

different case # (very strange!!!) I have not seen anything like this on VJ.

NOA1 dated July 20, 2010 (way too long) 29 days since delivered.

Check cleared July 22, 2010.

Received NOA1 hard copy July 26, 2010.

"Touch" July 27, 2010.

"Touch" Oct. 3, 2010 Yeah!!!!, at least something.

YEEPEE!!!! Finally NOA2. Dec 30,2010 got cell text at 4:04pm, and email notice at 6:00pm that our petition has been approved.

Now for the rest of the process, should not be so long now!!!!!!

This long wait has been very stressful for both of us, now we can make more plans for the rest of our lives together.

NVC got our case on Jan 4, 2011 and was sent to the Embassy on Jan 6, 2011. Thank you Lord!!!

We now have our MNL case number!!!!

I just finished calling the USCIS call center... :bonk: after making it past the gatekeeper and waiting 30 minutes I finally talked to an Immigration Officer. He told me that we had no apparent RFE's but that we were still not out of the normal processing timeframe! :angry: NOA1 was 29 July! He told me that we should hear something by 28 January! I then calmly asked him if this was the actual date that I could call back and get more information... he replied that after 6 months we are outside of the normal processing timeframe... :blink: Call back to get more information. :wacko: I take this as wait till after 6 months to get any kind of actual assistance for your petition. :unsure: Not really good news but at least its a solid date to shoot for...instead of the usual BS answers from the call center. Hope this helps!
