Not doing that great, to tell you the truth. Five months and no NOA, not even a touch since April 1—it's really getting to me.

I was really hoping to fly to Korea October 1 to spend Seollal (the Korean harvest festival, roughly analogous to Thanksgiving) with Elisha and her family, then bring her home around the 9th or 10th. With each passing day, the possibility of that happening fades. We've got all the Packet 3.5 forms filled out and documents gathered. Medicals and interview dates in Seoul are very quick—but we can't do anything without that blasted NOA2, and these twits at USCIS are blowing through April while our petition gathers dust somewhere.

I read this on my crackberry while sitting in CE meeting and I have been itching to respond. I think that your approval is just around the corner and you will be able to fly out. October 1 is still over a month away. You have been a great support for the rest of us, WE NEED YOU!!! Hang in there a little longer, things will work out for you just fine. You are lucky. I did manage to write earlier, you know the embassy and it sounds fast!

03/26/09 : NOA1

09/23/09 : NOA2

11/13/09 : APPROVED and visa in hand!!!

Too much drama is brewing in here!

It'll all work out. Yes many April filers are getting approved ahead of March. Yes it sucks (but know how excited they must be). The thing is, they aren't choosing to be approved, they simply filed like we all did and USCIS is processing in who-knows-what-way...

The NOA2's are coming. Let's see what happens over the next week or so. Tomorrow could be the best day of recent memory and all these rough feelings will be replaced with a sense of relief!

Perhaps a few days of "Nothing visa related" would be nice? ;)

OH WOW!

I was finally on my way home from work after an unexpected (and unwelcome) long day. Checked my email on the trusty ol iPhone... One new message... From CRIS at 7:45...

*** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL ***

The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number: EAC09...

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On August 27, 2009, 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.

I was quite nearly in tears! Amazing how one little email can turn things around!

Improved USCIS Form G-325A (Biographic Information)

Form field input font changed to allow entry of dates in the specified format and to provide more space for addresses and employment history. This is the 6/12/09 version of the form; the current version is 8/8/11, but previous versions are accepted per the USCIS forms page.
