I sent ours out December 15th.

and waiting....

:dance:

Here is my story. I've lived problem free life, payed my taxes. One day I decided to marry this girl. But to do so would require her to come to US of A, and so it started. My problem free live turned in to free problems from USCIS! Sure things turned to unsure, certain dates turned to aproximation within months. All logical thinking was out the door, as I filed my papers withing famous Vermont Centre!

We my beautiful wife and I are December filers,our cheque has not been cashed either so I believe we are all in the same boat.My wife the love of my life,my soulmate is from Houston,Texas while I'm here waiting here in the Emerald Isle to return home to her and her three boys !

I do hope since I have heard this new system is supposely quicker filing the I-130 s to ChicagoLockbox but I suppose all we got to do is sit tight and see --and be patient which never come s naturally DOES IT !!!!

We married here on 23rd of November and I belive her petition on behalf of me was received the day before Christmas .anyway I look forward to hearing from you all no doubt their will be highs and lows but no doubt we will end on the highest of highs in the arms of our loved ones!!!

I did the same thing but I think it's logical for them to send back the 129F - not really logical to send back the 130 ... they should/could easily enter that at least in their system.

My stuff was received 1/17 and I just recently got the green return receipt with the USCIS Chicago Lockbox stamped "signature" (I knew it was received on the 17th itself from online tracking)

NEETU IS HERE!
