February 2014 filers

[Sail0r 7]

I found this page on VJ about Q&A with a former adjucator. Think it might be a good read for everyone here.

Thats a super read! Although it's from some time ago it's actually really helpful to understand how it works!

That was a very helpful read Thank you!

Based on that read, the former adjucator is saying that as long as there is no criminal activity and the relationship is legit, most I129f s are approved. Thats relieving

does it help if my fiance works in the military?

anyone here who knows about it?

We're hoping for late September / early October

Once you've created an account to view your case status on the USCIS website all you have to do is click on ''My Portfolio' and the 'Last Updated' section would be where you find your 'touch date'

I'm not sure if they do the touches (or update them online) as much as they used to though.

Darn. Guess they haven't touched mine since they assigned my alien registration # on 2/19 ????

Thanks for this post! I had actually created an account there and thought I had email and text notifications, but upon logging in last night, I see that I was actually NOT signed up for this. I've since changed that. Sadly, my file hasn't had any activity since Feb 11th. Honestly, if I just could know that his visa would be for sure done by, say, August, at least I could start making wedding plans. So frustrating!!

If he's getting deployed you can expedite your petition. Other than that, I don't think so. There's a whole military sub-forum so you can ask there. Good luck!

I'm glad I could help Mine hasn't had any activity since our NOA1 on Feb 28th (I guess they don't change the A# if you've applied before)

We've decided to have a small wedding with just our parents once we get through this process and have our big wedding in Summer '15. We really want it to be perfect and have our families and friends there I just feel like a big wedding would be too much of a hassle now for us and for our guests from Germany.

We're doing the same thing! Small wedding once I arrive then the big wedding next year when we have lots of time to plan together

[froschundblumen 25]

I also just realized our timelines are VERY similar :-). Good luck to you. I will be following your timeline haha. I'm in Indiana and my fiance lives in Toronto

They are almost exactly the same!! Hope we both get approved quickly!

Can my fiancé fill out the DS-160 before receiving the NOA2?

[Nikki181 8]

Today we hit the 30 day mark since our NOA1! Hoping we get our NOA2 soon! The wait is driving me nuts!

[Eva&Gary 3]

We're hoping for an interview by June/July, and here by the beginning of August. That'd put us right at the 6-month mark from beginning to end, and before school starts. He has a 10-year old son he's bringing with him). If not then, I'm not sure he'd move here before Christmas break. It feels very up in the air, and THAT'S what makes this all so stressful. Also, he wants to go to a family reunion in South Africa next Mar/April, and unless he is here by, say, November, then we wouldn't be able to go from here, based on AOS and AP timelines.

Hi Tina, same here, we were hoping that everything will be sorted before school starts in September..

[Tina and Johan 206]

We can keep track of each other's progress since we're both using Ireland's embassy.

Hello, everyone!

We're February 2014 filers, too, but I noticed that most people who post on this thread are filing for K-1 Visa. I don't know if it matters, but we're filing for K-3/CR-1 Visa (whichever comes first), and we have received an email notification on 17 March (NOA1 for I-129F), saying that our case has been accepted and routed to Nebraska Service Center. Based on our timeline data, the I-130 may be adjudicated between 31 March and 27 April. We are praying that this estimate materializes!

Cheers,

Jae
