I am a new member. I enjoy the forum for all the information it provides.

I sent my I129F on Jan. 23rd. It was received by Calif.Ctr. on Jan.24th. NOA1 is dated Jan.27th. Have not been TOUCHED or have received NOA2 sofar, while others of much earlier date have their NOA2s. and hence I the worry!

I am a naturalised U.S. citizen.

My fiancee an Indian citizen, has worked in Dubai, U.A.E. for many years, has two children, son 16yrs old and a daughter who will turn 21 in Sept '06, both are included in I129F. Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. will be her consulate of interview. I have visited my fiancee twice during the last nine months.

I am wondering her presence in Dubai or that I have included her children in my I129F are the red flags!!

Welcome to VJ! To tell you the truth, I think the red flag is not the fact that she has children or that she lives in Dubai, I think it has more to do with the fact that you are Naturalized Citizen and she is an Indian. Why am I saying this? Well, I am in exactly the same boat as you! I am also Naturalized and my Fiance is also from India. The only difference is that she lives in India and doesn't have any children. My NOA1 date is January 4th, 2006 and I received nothing from them. I wonder if this is just a coincidence or does the Indian and Naturalization connections really raise some flags. I hope both of us get our approvals soon. I am absolutely on my last nerve right now.

Hello

I disagree with you about you being naturlized and have long delay...USCIS does not prejudice on all citizens either you are American or naturalized...there must be something to do with each country. I am only guessing here.....I apologize if I am wrong....

I would honestly say that it is far too early to be getting worked up about not having your approval yet. If NOA1 was dated January 27 that's only just barely three months ago. You never know - you might get your letter next week! I'm sure that it has nothing to do with what country you or your fiance are from...

Karen - Melbourne, Australia/John - Florida, USA

- Proposal (20 August 2000) to marriage (19 December 2004) - 4 years, 3 months, 25 days (1,578 days)

STAGE 1 - Applying for K1 (15 September 2003) to K1 Approval (13 July 2004) - 9 months, 29 days (303 days)

STAGE 2A - Arriving in US (4 Nov 2004) to AOS Application (16 April 2005) - 5 months, 13 days (164 days)

STAGE 2B - Applying for AOS to GC Approval - 9 months, 4 days (279 days)

STAGE 3 - Lifting Conditions. Filing (19 Dec 2007) to Approval (December 11 2008)

STAGE 4 - CITIZENSHIP (filing under 5-year rule - residency start date on green card Jan 11th, 2006)

I know what you are going through, My NOA1 was 1/23 and I am a US Citizen with really no special conditions with my case, so I don't think it has anything to do with you being naturalized, I could be wrong, but there are a lot of others that have not rec'd theirs yet either from early to late January and even from November and December. So, all we can do is wait and hope and pray that something will come soon, I just sent an email to the CSC, I finally figured out the right email, I think. You might try sending them an email to check the status, csc-xii.485@dhs.gov, this is the email I sent it to, hopefully it is the right one. I made a mistake sending it the first time, left out the dot before the 485. Just make the email really nice, that is what I did , can't hurt anything. Good Luck to you.....Stacey
