May 2009 filers -- post here!!!

I thought I would be an April filer but looks like I am now a May filer!

Since my SO and I are both in Australia right now until late August, I had sent my I-129F packet to my mother in California so that she could include a copy of my birth certificate and then send it off to CSC for me. Well, that was all fine and dandy until she decided the line at the post office was too long to wait in and instead put what she thought was enough stamps on the package. That was April 7th. Fast forward several weeks and the whole package was sent back to her for not having enough postage!!! Blah. So she re-sent it on April 25th with certified mail this time, and I just checked online to see that it was delivered on May 4th. Glad it FINALLY got there, but what's up with USPS taking 10 days to deliver something only 30 miles away!?

Hopefully CSC doesn't hold up this process as much as my mom and USPS

Good luck everyone!

Anyways, my fiance finally sent the file yesterday, 05/05. So excited!

Good luck to us!

Wow a May '09 thread! Seems strange being a May '08 filer. Hope you guys don't have to wait as long as we have. I only had my interview yesterday..12 months later!

Good Luck Guys!

All I supplied was a complete copy of my valid US Passport, is this going to be a problem for me ? the 129F specifically states:

3. What Documents Do You Need to Show That You Are a U.S. Citizen?

D. In place of any of the above, you may give USCIS a copy of your valid, unexpired U.S. passport issued with a validity period of at least five years. You must submit copies of all pages in the passport..

I did not use a Lawyer but, I did have 2 Phd's, 3 acountants and 3 auditors who's work is specifically involved w/ Govt contracts, compliance and grants..

Good luck to all..

You can send them a copy of your Birth Certificate (front and back) OR a copy of ALL pages of your passport. If by "complete copy" you mean copies of all pages of your passport, including the blank pages, then you are good.

I got my Long Form Birth Certificate in like 3 days!

That was fast.

We filed May 8th, 2009 at the CSC.

Waiting for the check to be cashed n all that good stuff.
