February 2008 filers

[steveinsandiego 0]

One more Feb CSC filer here. Wow, I had to read through 22 pages to get caught up. Better late then never I guess. Seeing the fast turn-around at the VSC almost makes me want to move back east. Then again, NOT!

Good luck to everyone. Any filers going to Guanzhou China for their interview?

The VSC Jan filers are now up to 21 approvals as of last night. I do pray that CSC gets thier butt in gear soon though. I hate that there is such a delay between the two centers.

Thanks Robyn!! It's nice to see a VSC'er who understands what we CSC'ers have to endure.

I'm not sure which category I fall under, as we sent our I-129F on February the 29th , so I am guessing February!. Anyway, I thought I would post after reading about all of your journeys so far.

Either way you're welcome here regardless. This is a long and stressful trek for anyone to endure regardless of when they file. So grab a chair, a cup of whatever you like and enjoy this wonderful board!

side note my heart jumped about 10 beats when i saw i got a touch today.. i know it doesn't mean much but made my day regardless.

Hello all...

Late poster. I also sent my I-129F on Feb 12. Cash has been checked, and got the mailed NOA1. I'm just curious---how do you guys update your timeline to say check cashed, etc? I see there are specific fields for date that i129f petition was sent, and a bunch of other fields, but i always see timelines that say touched, or other 'personalized' info. How do you add those? Also, how do you see if your application has been touched? I added my case to the uscis website, and all it says is: "case received and pending."

Also, from reading all these posts, somebody mentioned that some 20 something plus people that filed in jan, have been approved already? How do you do that search on this site?

good luck to all, and thanks in advance for answers to my questions!

First of all welcome to Vj and good luck with your journey.

On your Nao1 you will see a reciept number when you use this at the uscis site and the date changes that is a touch. Which means your file has been moved or looked at. The status may not change, but the date can.

To add the personal info you can do that in your signature like I have, and you can do this by going to my controls and edit signature.

With regard to the stats, I may be wrong but i think someone has gathered that from people advised they recieved the Nao2 which is the approval. But there may be a way to search it that I dont know about.

Someone more knowledgable may be able to answer too.

Good luck with your journey and ask anything someone will answer if they can.

Welcome to VJ! Ok let me do what i can to answer your questions.

On the USCIS site when you are looking at your case it will have a 'last updated' date. If that has changed you've been 'touched'. Now many who show 'touched' etc these are signatures we update ourselves. It's not actually on the timeline itself. As for who where we've found those approved there is a January thread with a list in it that is updated. That is where many are found.

Hope this helps.

Good luck February filers. but don't get down. You should feel very fortunate that you all aren't facing a 4,5 or 6 month wait like summer '07 filers.

Morning fellow feb filers. Hope sunday proves to be beneficial to us all!!!!

Can you believe it's already been a month for some of you? The time goes by faster than you think...

yeah with the leap year day added today is 30 days since they recieved my packet.... and I got super excited by all the VSC January filers getting accepted...

Hopefully the pace will continue and we get an approval this month.... I am going back to the states on April 14th so I want to know things are happening... don't want to spend too long apart from my babe.

GL too all of you...

I know that feeling all too well. I saw my baby in december and we can't afford to see each other again till the Visa is approved It's killing both of us right now.

Hey folks, I've been sick and absentee for a bit. Good to see everyone is doing well! Welcome to the new folks. Congrats on the touches and stuff for those who have gotten them.

I noticed someone asked about stats...they are probably coming from Igor's list. I'm going to put a link to this in my signature later today.
