If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

This was happening to people a while back.. USCIS was randomly "administratively closing" K3's.

Have you tried calling to inquire as to whats going on?

Lisa, hey, this is Chris (aka cjgator). Your last response was very interesting to me. I'm not familiar with this 'administrative closing' action. Can you explain a little about what that is? Thanks.

Chris,

When I first popped on Vj last year I started seeing people post that their 130 was approved and their 129 "closed". There was a rumor that the k3 was not an option any longer.

After we submitted ours and I started to worry about it, I did some research and I found some information. The ombudsman had a teleconfrence and asked USCIS to answer about the K3 "rumor"

I checked the ombudsman site every week unti they posted the answers from USCIS. heh heh ....me? obsessive? no!

I havent seen anyone posting about it anymore lately, but you never know. Some people were experienceing it and others had both petitions approved. Go figure.. USCIS and inconsistencies. ha!

My husband called NVC and talked to an officer and she said that both petitions are there and that I-129F will be sent to the embassy.Is there any other way to find out if I-129F has been sent to the embassy except for talking to an officer directly?When he typed the application number the message said that they have no record of that application but the officer said opposite.I'm so happy that my petitions were approved that I cannot think clearly! I'm so excited! YAY!!! :dance:

Hi Lisa.. Has your case been given to an adjudicator or is it in the 'adjudications queue'? I have been in that queue for almost 3 weeks now according to my congressional rep. Just curious.

A lot of the VJ'er in this discussion talk about being in the "queue", or "in the hands of an adjudicator. Was going through your Congressman the only way to find this information?

Lee L, you have an almost identical timeline to mine. I am wondering whether or not I'm in the "queue" as well.

I called USCIS last Thursday. All they told me is that they're processing I-129F as of March 4, 2008 and I-130 as of February 26, 2008 and nothing else. All my lawyer did is call the USCIS to get the same answer.

My husband got the letter from senator saying that our applications are in the adjudication process and one week later we were approved! And today we received NOA2-s for both applications in the mail.

After the 6 month time frame, I went to the congressman's office on Wednesday, November 12th, and he called the uscis while i was in his office. called the special congressional hotline I guess.

They told him that on October 27th, our visa stuff was "sent to the processing unit". Whats that?

1 shelf to another?..hmmmmmm

I then called uscis 800 number. Spoke to a nice lady who helped but her computer program wouldnt allow her to enter it for follow up being out of the time frame. SHe sent me to her supervisor who was supposed t be able to override this system. Then, he couldnt do it either as he said they were upgrading their software and he couldnt access the program and to all back Monday...okkaaayyyyyy?

Its in the que. Someone posted that they were "in the que" and 11 days later they were approved, so I guess it depends. The letter said "30 days barring any unforseen issues" but its been in the que for a couple weeks now.

Good luck to you!
