pbellrichard - congratulations on your approval!! we need to have danyel add you to our group time line so that others can track your progress and compare it with their own.

Alrighty so now it is three down...twenty-three to go.

Can we get four approvals in one day?

congratulations!!

I also got some good news today.

I got e-mail from CRIS with having both of my applications being approved.

Application Type: I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On May 9, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On May 9, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

My timeline was similar to Ralu & Doru, and it looks like we also got our approval notice around same time frame.

Hopefully, all other February filers will start receiving same news as Ralu&Doru and I.

The next step begins for us and GOOD LUCK to rest of you in getting your NOA 2.

congratulations!!

I am soooo really confused right now with both these petitions approved...

on the I-130 it says the following: "the petition indicates that the person for whom you are petitioning is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status. He or she should contact the local USCIS office to obtain Form I-485 Application for Permanent Residence.

If the person you are petitioning for decides to apply for a visa outside the United States based on this petition, the petitioner should file Form I-824, Appplication for Action on Approved Application or petition, with this office to request that we send the petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC)".

What the hell does this mean?!

My lawyer understood (misunderstood I think) that something's wrong because of this sentence the petition indicates that the person for whom you are petitioning is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status

I am so scared that she should know this better than us...... and clearly she's misunderstanding.

From what I know this I-130 remains at USCIS for further Adjustment of Status, while I-129F goes to NVC and then to the embassy.... We are both so panicked right now.... Don't know what to do next!!! The lawyer yesterday started giving my husband instructions as if we were pursuing CR1. She says that if I-130 was approved it should go first!

The embassy on the other hand says it's up to us whether to choose K3 or IR1/CR1 up to our needs because Ir1/Cr1 is longer.

What on earth am I supposed to do????

Hi All

Both I-130 and I-129F pettions got touched today. I havenot made any calls to USCIS

2/12/2008 I-130 & 129F mailed together to CSC

2/19/2008 NOA1 recieved for I-130

2/23/2008 NOA1 recved for I-129F

3/14/2008 I-129F touched due to request to fix the Typographical error. Recieved an email that they will fix the error during adjucting the case.

5/12/2008 Both I-129F and I-130 are touched.

Any idea, how many days after the touch?.

Thanks

Venkat

Venkat - sorry to be the messenger of bad news but a touch doesn't mean they are going to approve your applications within (x) amount of days. it just means someone some where for some reason has looked at your case. hopefully your case is being worked on so that they can approve it shortly but that's not always the case. my case was touched about six times in march and never since. good luck to you.

Ralu&Doru - im not 100% sure about the i-130 but i would assume they say you're spouse is in the country because they probably see that your k-3 visa had been approved already. my advice would be to call the uscis and ask them what you should do, maybe even get a second opinion from another lawyer if you don't trust what yours is tell you. good luck!!

I know it's hard because we're all thinking it but don't worry just yet. I looked at the January filers and only about ten of them have been approved so far. So the simple fact that some are already being approved in February is just luck of the draw. Your turn will come around too, I promise!! Until then we just have to wait and be supportive of each other =)

[rkapur 0]

Our petitions (I129F and I130) got approved on May 08, 2008. Received the hard copies in mail today.

I was expecting this much later... Is this considered pretty fast?

Is this same as NOA2?

Whats the process now?

Good luck all..
