Greeting guys, hope everything are well with you. We would like to know from those who filed for an I-130 at the Vermont Service Center on how things are going with your case? My husband decided to hire a lawyer to handle our case because he doesn't want to make any mistake in petitioning for me. But the problem is, our lawyer doesn't inform us the details about what's going on with our case. And my husband doesn't want to fuss our lawyer on what's happening for the worry he might get pissed so we just wait until we hear from him.

I-130

March 10, 2008 - USCIS Received Date

March 14, 2008 - Notice Date

I-129F

April 7, 2008 - USCIS Received and Notice Date

Until now we don't know what's happening with our case. I am hoping to get some ideas from here so I would know what to ask or demand from our lawyer to give us. WE would be very grateful to any help/ advice you can give us. Wishing you all guys the best in life. Thank you.

You should fill out your timeline first of all. That is how we gather information and look at trends etc on this website. You should have gotten a Notice of Action in the mail for both petitions. You can setup an account on the USCIS website based on the receipt number on your I-797. You can look at it there. It will have a "last updated" date. That is what they refer to as a "touch' Kinda means something has been done to your case etc. Someone looked at it or whatever.

I'm getting really anxious because I really wish I could be with my husband for his b-day in September. Well, what ca we do besides wait and pray? I believe to have seen a couple approvals from march filers already... I hope we're next! I wish you guys luck! :star:

CJ Vasani......... Let me first congratulate you for getting your US citizenship!!! You are right, we almost have the same timeline. But I'm just wondering, how could I know if our case has been touched or not? Coz I noticed you filed your I-129F a week after we filed ours but you already got a "touch" notice on May 30. How come we haven't gotten ours?

You guys looked so sweet on that pic of yours!!! I'm pretty sure, like us, you also can't wait to be with your sweetheart there with you and live a happy life together. I really wiish us both goodluck so we could be with our love ones. Let's keep in touch ok? Take care and best wishes!

'Monica&Isha'.............. That's great! Hope we could keep in touch and update each one on what's happening with our cases. Let's help each other so we could be with our partners sooner rather than later. If there's a way to speed up the process, don't you think it would be nice to share it with others? Goodluck and take care.

This is a great spreadsheet that one of the members is doing on this site. It is some really good info. Unfortunately, Vermont seems to be really dragging, especially for K-3s. California seems to be turning them out pretty quick. I think it is a cyclical thing, so hopefully Vermont will issue a bunch of I-129F NOA2s in the near future.

'sference'........... Thank you for teaching me about the "timeline." We did get both NOA1 from both petitions. I do have an account in the USCIS website but unfortunately, there's still no "last update" on our case yet. Well anyway, hope we could get some updates real soon. Goodluck to you and wishing you the best.

Good luck to you as well. I check the USCIS thing quite a few times daily... wishing it will change... doesn't seem to work.

Hey, we have an attorney also.. and guess what? they don't know more than us in this stage of the game. just have to wait, wait, WAIT...

Our timelines are almost identical. Be curious to see how it plays out. My attorney is Holmes and Lolly by the way.

Really??? You think it would be right to tell them what we know based on the advises of our VJers to help speed up our case? Coz I'm thinking, if they don't know more than us, then our waiting time could be longer.

If you have a receipt notice for the I-129F, then there's nothing the attorney can do at this point, unless you have some kind of extenuating circumstances for an expedite. So now it is just sit and wait. Once you get the I-129F approval, things seem to move along pretty quickly according to the time lines on this site. Vermont is just really slow now for some reason.
