Hi Zawjatsaid, I feel like I'm in a marathon. Received both mine one day after you. So good so far. :)

i didn't enclosed a cover page when i filed I-129F, is that a problem? please advise!

Apple, I did not use a coverletter either. But I used paperclips to seperate each piece of document for easy review. I also included a checklist for bonefide evidence of marriage. Everything sent in the same package. REceive NOA1 on the same day. NOA states fee waived for 129F acknowledging the intent of a K3.

Thanks SPSguy, i did see fee waived on the NOA1 for 129F. Does anyone know how long is the wait to receive NOA2 once you got the NOA1?

Thanks,

Apple

Nobody knows for certain whether they still approve I-129F for K3 at Vermont or not.Average time has been about 6 months from your filing date.Processing times on USCIS website says that they are working on September filers but so far no news from Vermont.It looks like that I am a March K3 filer also, although I filed on February but they lost my I-129F application and it took them a month to find it.There is something strange going on at VSC regarding K3.

It doesn't really matter if your petitions get touched or not because many of them are approved without being touched at all.So don't worry about that!

Mine dont seem to get touched either. The last touch was when they paired the two. I know I shouldnt worry about it but I still do a little. When I see others getting molested and they dont touch mine I worry about mine getting lost or something. :unsure:

got touched on 4/11, 4/13, 4/14

Same here, and there are others with the exact same dates.

Why touches three days in four, only to pair up the I-130 and I-129F applications though.... seems like overkill.

I am rooting for the I-129F to make it first! Come on Vermont! :star:

Three weeks after receiving the I-129F? Even longer for people that filed in Feb....

and why didn't we get touches on the I-130 as well, since pairing means putting together TWO forms...

Anyone tried to call to ask about the touches?

Many have been touched around the same date.It could be that they are putting together I-130 and I-129F.

Catt, so far I count about 6 of us with similar timelines and touches this month at VSC.

Mostly European, and 2 Asian, if that makes any difference...

I'd like to see if this is a general trend for ALL filers in March and to see if many with similar filing dates did NOT get touches..

I too hope that the K-3 is moving fast, but I think we ll know better only in about 1-2 more months...
