Hello,

I know how it feels.

Our lawyer sent our I-129F 3 months after the I-130 and obviously it's not how it should be done anymore and that's why we have reached the 7 months and have not been approved yet either.

My husband and I have been separated for 9 months now and it looks like we'll spend our first wedding anniversary apart unfortunately.

I see people who got married and filed after us being approved and in the U.S. already and it seems so unfair. I'm happy for them but I can't help wondering why and how?

We have called senators and congressmen, and they have been told to wait another 30 days... we are almost there and nothing has changed. We were not even asked for any RFE or anything at all.

They tell us people don't get approved in less than 8 months at the soonest and when we point out the cases that have they say they lie... USCIS is screwed up and how they choose the files that get approved in no time and the ones which stay untouched for months is a mistery.

I wish you good luck and hang in there.

Similar here.

5/18/07 NOA1 I130

12/19 Letter, "your case is delayed, background check not finished. (in response to my service request.)

7/12 NOA1 K3

1/10 silence on both petitions.

Our case is in the hands of the FBI. All my immediate family has applied for "constituent services" with their Senators and Congressman. I imagine their response to be. "It is a congressional mandate that USCIS can NOT process a case (towards NOA2), until the background check is complete.

Our response will be "D'uh!, we know that. Our question is IS THE FBI SANDBAGGING ON OUR CASE?"

Once the check is complete, i imagine the NOA2 w/in 1-2 weeks.

So, since NOA1 of the 130, we are 7 months 3 weeks.

I can afford to fly to visit Dora in february, but i have no one to watch my 3 young children when i am gone.

5/18/07 130 Priority Date

1/29/08 130 NOA2

7/12/07 K3 Priority date

2/27/08 Embassy Recieves

3/7/08 Interview- APPROVED. Dora was interogated for 2 hours since she had a denial at POE last year. It was brutal, but she never had anything to hide.

3/10/08 Visa and plane ticket in hand

3/11/08 POE Miami (Why wait, huh?)

Timeline 130 filing to POE=306 days.

3/17/08 Mailed AOS via USPS Express Mail to Chicago lockbox

Wow,your experience and mine are so similar.That's right,the people in cutomer service only have limited information regarding each case.I have been told "I don't know" so many times it's funny.I hope your case gets approved also,I can identify with you 110%.

In one of my delightful conversations with customer service,they told me the FBI was doing checks on my fiance,and that's why it was taking so long.Of course, a week later I was told something entirely different.I wish you the best.
