Thank you, you cleared up much confussion on my behalf. I do not want the cr1 route,since ittakes solong for the process. i feel like my case is not simular to too many people. timeline wise. thanks

Hello,

I filed in July. For some reason I thought it was sooner, but it took us a while to get the paperwork to the lawyer. There was a strike for several days in my husbands country hold up his ability to mail out his stuff.

Niether of my status have been update since the reciept number was issued, but i had already recieved my approval for my 130. rather early i thought. not complaining though. you would think i know everything since we are using a lawyer, but his assistant is not as knowledge and always is rude. three weeks ago we recieved the nvc bill for proof off income and another item. Does that mean my 129f was approved. my lawyer stated when i spoke to him that "THE GOVERNMENT SENDS US BACK A PACKAGE (YOU MAY CALL IT PACKAGE 3 OR WHATEVER YOU LIKE) REQUESTING THAT WE COMPLETE ALL IMMIGRANT VISA FORMS INCLUDING YOUR AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT AND ANY CO-SPONSORS. YOU WILL BE GETTING SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONNAIRES FROM US NEXT WEEK 3. WE SEND BACK TO GOVERNMENT 4. GOVERNMENT SENDS YOUR PACKAGE TO U.S. EMBASSY ABROAD. 5. EVENTUALLY YOUR HUSBAND WILL ATTEND AN INTERVIEW AT THE CONSULATE AND BE ISSUED A VISA. "

i never recieved the reciept number from the 129f so i called the law office get it, but never asked if had been approved. and the usc doesnt say anything,but neither does the 130 and i got the approval for that one.

Thanks for any and all help.

Hello MrsJibowu,

Well you were approved very fast. However to answer your question, it appears that your I-129F has not been approved. NVC (National Visa Center) does not send out a bill for I-129F's. It appears you are going with your I-130 (CR1). Since your I-129F has not been approved, your I-130 was forwarded to NVC for processing. After you pay your bill, complete and send back the choice of agent form, send your I-864 to NVC and IV payment...after you complete all of these documents (which NVC will send out each at a time) that's when they send your case to your embassy. Your embassy will then send you an interview (I'm not sure how long this takes).

Hope this helps. Ohh by the way, you should ask for your I-129F receipt number and check the status of your case by calling USCIS.

CONGRATULATIONS PECHEZ!!! We are very happy for you. Now we just have to wait to make it to NVC.

MrsJibowu,

I understand the reason you don't want to take the CR1 route, because the wait time is a lot longer. You should consider contacting VJ member DivineMercy. Her I-130 was approved before her I-129F...and she decided to wait on the I-129F and not continue the process at NVC for her I-130. She waited for a long time just to find out USCIS cancelled her I-129F because her I-130 had been approved for several months...so she was forced to take the CR1 route. She lost precious months due to her waiting for the approval of her I-129F and by the MISINFORMATION she was given at USCIS.

I just don't want you to wait for a long time and then for USCIS to tell you that your I-129F was cancelled and lose several months.

[Enlighten one :) 5]

Yes Devind and I have spoken. She was the first person to suspect that my timeline looked like I was going to CR1 route. So I emailed my Lawyer to request my receipt number for my 129f, which he provided. When check the status at the website it only states the receipt date. my 130 only shows the receipt date, despite the fact that I already have the approval. So right now using the website to check the status means nothing to me.

I will do some research on Monday with my lawyer.

thanks again for your help.

I am not too worried about the cr1 process, because I have already paid the bill and just days away from submitting proof of support. either way is fine with me. i just feel for my husband which is in limbo right now. we thought he would be here for Christmas, then januaryand not maybe not till March.

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering how can I sign up to get email Notifications from USCIS regarding both my Petitions I-130 & I-129F, I tried to search the whole web site and I can not find how to do this.. I get normal notification when the web site in general is updated but not how to get Individual status email, like everyone seems to have when they mention “touched”. Any help would be Great! I am going CRAZY with all this waiting. I haven't been able to go see my Husband in one year and I thought I would enjoy this forum for support.

Look forward to anyone's help!

Thank you

Well I created an account in USCIS to receive email updates for my K1 visa and not once did I receive any email. I received my NOA2 last Nov8, and has been forwarded to NVC (still waiting for them to receive it or enter in their system), but until now I have not received one single email from USCIS; does the site actually email updates to the cases? I have a personal email account (not web-based) so I know that it won't be marked spammed or junk ..

Hi there,

I wouldn't really worry about that. Many people don't get any emails. The system at USCIS sucks and it's not always updated. And if your case has been forwarded to NVC, you will no longer get any updates. After it leaves USCIS, NVC will do the rest of the processing.

So you were approved on November 8th and NVC has not received your case yet? Wow, what is taking them so long. I was approved on November 21st and I just can't wait any longer. Some people reach NVC in like 10 days.

Good luck.
