Hello all,

It has been a while since I last posted but deployment has not been good as far as time.

After numerous delays Nikka and I were able to submit our packet. We submitted it in late August or Early Sept. However, the address that I sent it to was in Lincoln, Nebraska. That particular address was given to me by the Embassy in Manila. Sure enough, it got kicked back with a note saying it had to go to California. The process of them kicking it back took almost a month. So, we fixed a few things and sent it to California. According to the USCIS website they recieved it on 20 OCT. But here we are almost 2 months later and there is nothing new.

Since Im still deployed and have very limited access to phones, it is hard to call them to find anything out. I had my mom try to call for me but they couldnt give out much specific infomation since she was not me or my fiance. One letter was sent to my dad's house (my home of record), but he and my stepmom read over it. They said as far as they knew it didnt require any action unless I was changing my address.

So now what? For Nikka and I it is just annoying that we have nothing new. I looked up the time table about 2 weeks ago and it looks like I should have recieved some sort of notification that it has been touched at least.

I read on the forums about expediting the process for military, however I'm returning to the states in Jan, not deploying.

So, other than continuing to be patient.....what can I do?

Thanks in advance.

My guess is that the letter you received at your dad's house is the NOA1. It sucks that you lost a month at the beginning, but it could have been worse. We sent our application on May 5th by regular mail and they didn't accept that they'd received it until July 27th. We effectively waited 3 months for nothing! So I'm feeling your pain!

As of now, we are still waiting and there hasn't been any movement, notifications or touches since we started. But that seems to be the way it goes. You can go through the whole duration without any change and then suddenly you get NOA2. Sadly, you do just have to be patient. Fill out your VJ timeline (if you haven't already) then use the link to watch similar timelines. When others around the same date from the same Service Center are being approved, you shouldn't have long to wait to get NOA2 or a last minute RFE.

If the military expedite is an option, I say go for it. And best of luck!

I'm guessing the letter sent to your dad was your NOA1--basically states that they received your package and it is now in line to be looked at when they start working on files in that processing time. It is not uncommon for someone to not receive any touches at all during this process. Some get many, others get none. Some mean something, others mean nothing. If your official date is October 20th, you've still got quite a bit of waiting to do. The normal time frame for those filing around your time at CSC is 6 months. You're only two months in. The waiting sucks, but it's a harsh reality of this process. I don't know about the military part of your question, maybe someone else will have an answer for you. Good luck!!

Ok, I finally got an update:

On December 17, 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.

Looking at the K1 Flowchart and making a rough guess....I'm thinking we still have a good 3 months of process to go thru. I called the number to see about expediditing the process and they put in the request.
