thanks for the update Rajee... please update us too about your i-129f application.

it does sound weird that they got your application 5 weeks after you sent it.., but of course , we dont know what theyre doing..

it was even weird that mostly january filers got their NOA1 for less than a month, while december filers waited more than a month... guess theyre speeding up the process... but only USCIS has the control now.. we cant even predict now which service center is faster., CSC or VSC..

with fingers crossed, i wish that we will get our approvals for january filers in 3 months or less... i really hope..

ive read how painful and stressing it is for the july, august, september filers... hope we dont need to go thru that..

God Bless us ALL

Hi Everyone!

I have been following the thread but this is my first post. I have some wonderful news: USCIS received my I-129F and sent out the NOA1 the very next day

My timeline:

I sent our I-130 01/24 and received the NOA1 with notice date 02/14 (best valentine's gift ever!)

I sent our I-129F 02/20 and just received the NOA1 with notice date 02/22!!!

My husband is in Tanzania. I found out a few weeks after I left TZ that I am pregnant. 4 months later, I thought he would miss the entire pregnancy and who knows how much else. But maybe there is some hope...

One love,

Mama Mdoe

Hi Mama Mode,

Congratulations on the NOA1's and your pregnancy.

Yes, I feel there is hope for our timelines for the January filers.

I for some reason feel we may start getting approvals in the coming weeks (as opposed to 6 months) ..... however, please do not quote me .... but ... if we all wish together as a group, it may work ..... power of the mind and all of that

Actually, that's not a bad idea .... why don't we all concentrate on an approval date for March 2008??? .... worth a shot .... just think about it being next month. Stranger things have happened.

I'm off to light a candle and think about it right now

your timeline really gave us hope, congratulations and welcome to our list.

Corny as it sounds, it feels like we're a big family here all waiting for the same good news lol

I'm going to see my lovely wife at the end of April - if we could be approved by March, I could potentially have her fly back WITH ME!!!!

I just bought my ticket to go to Kathmandu in May so in less than 3 months I will be back with my husband - it has been sooo long and the wait is really getting to me but it's wonderful knowing there will be an end to it, if only temporary and then we will not need to wait nearly as long for our next reunion....

I'm so excited!! :dance:

[adam75 0]

whenever i check the status online, it states: your case is received and its pending.

is this statment(pending) for k-3 filers only, what about you guys going the IR-1 CR-1 route? is your case pending or touched? the reason i am asking is to get a clear picture about some VJ'S posting that k-3 canseled.

Hubby just booked ticket for mid April to visit me in Kuala Lumpur, and then we will fly back together for couple of weeks!!!!

You guys are right....we are like a family waiting for good news and pray for each other! You guys will be in my thought!

Have you guys work on your taxes yet? Hubby just received my W7 form and notorized passport, so he will be able to file for taxes soon.

Good luck guys!

Yes, this support is nice.

My Hubby is planning to come out to see me with his 1 week off in the 2nd week of April

Brian&Mel, please let me know if you get through immigration Stateside when you go back for a couple of weeks, as I've been advised not to step foot on US soil until my visa is in my hand (by an immigration lawyer and an immigration official) as they can be quite likely to refuse us entry due to a pending immigration visa on the system.

It all depends on the immigration officer you see when you get off the plane (whether he's in a good mood that day etc .... and whether he feels you're not just going to stay and do an Adjustment Of Status when you get there and stay) .....

I've got so much free time here (currently enrolled as a student with tons of holiday time), and have cancelled the flight I had booked for Easter (I used to book my tickets months in advance and still had an outstanding one) ..... as the consequences of being denied entry are too much of a risk.

As soon as he scans your passport, it will show you have an I-130 in the system .... and are planning to move there.

Being denied entry will be a pain, as you will have to state it on another piece of paperwork we have to fill out for the next step

I don't want to risk further delay of my visa, and it may be treated as a black mark .....

I've got tons of provable and documented ties to England, but I'm still nervous at the thought they may not be enough, especially if the immigration officer didn't have his cup of coffee that morning

You've also got to pay for the return flight home on the next flight they put you onto ...... regardless of the fact you'll be exhausted from your flight to arrive there.

Be prepared to be grilled ..... so take all the paperwork you can get your hands on to prove that you have to go back home .... a return flight won't be enough.

I really appologise that this sounds negative, but I just want to warn you.

There's a ton of postings on here about people getting through, and people getting denied .... it's not a set thing.

Yes, technically you're allowed to visit, but it's proving to the officer that, that's all you're doing, even with an I-130 pending.

If you get through, I may just gather enough confidence to try it too

..... as like all of you, I miss my Husband and best friend terribly. It's so annoying as I have 4 weeks off over Easter.

Big hugs to everyone ..... and I'm still wishing very hard that we start getting approvals in weeks ..... am focusing on end of March specifically, as that would be really cool! ..... crazy, but very cool.

[Army_Wife 2]

For your guys information, I've just asked in the I-130 forum if anyone was allowed to enter the USA or if anyone was refused while an I-130 was pending ..... what information they took with them etc.

I thought it was a good idea, as Brian&Mel have really got my head racing now with thoughts that it may be possible to travel there afterall ..... regardless of the advise I've been given by an immigration lawyer and official.

I've got 2 weeks till my Easter holidays, and I'm teetering on the edge of whether to just get my bag packed and go .... but am really nervous about it because of the possible consequences
