We sent ours off on June 2...and yes I think we all have a patience problem. Just wish they would cash our check. We really want to get married next spring so let's pray for rapid processing. Good luck to us all!!!

Hey everyone...

I sent my I-129F (actually the lawyer did) on May 28th. But I assume they at USCIS didn't receive it until June...

Also waiting... And also having patience problems...

Hoping to move in December... What do you, more experienced guys, think? Will I have time to have everything done by Dec?

Good luck to all of us!

Should I start worrying? My check was cashed on June 15th but no NOA1 yet - was also hoping to file K3 after NOA1. I do see the case online but no hardcopy of NOA1 yet. Any thoughts?

It should be there soon I guess. NOA1 should be sent before the check is cashed usually.. Are you sure the address is correct?

I am not sure if filing K3 after getting NOA1 while you originally filed for K1 is right... Why would you do that? I heard K3 visas take longer and you should be approved from just 5 to 8 months... But someone should answer that to you... I don't know what the correct answer is to what you decided...

Thanks,

I am actually pretty optimistic when it comes to the possibility that VSC processing times will drop in the coming months... If there is any relationship to the number of members timelines here to the actual number of submissions, then the amount of work to be done is dropping and they should get caught up soon.

I thought that too - far less filers appearing on the timeline, however, I'm sure we don't represent all filers but it's still nice to think it may move a little quicker.......

Wow! our June number of folks on Igors list jumped up in the past day or so... my guess we will end up with less than 60 for the month at VSC

I looked at the Igors list statistics that breaks it down to avg number processed per day and VSC averaged 3.3 per day over the past year.

our NOA2's should be less than 4 months out with the drop in filers... that equates to fewer files between ours and the next step.

Amen to a less than 4 month processing time!!!!! Having my sweetie here forever by Christmas would be a dream come true, not to mention the BEST Christmas present in the world! Bought my wedding dress this week and look forward to a late winter or early spring wedding. Let's all keep our fingers crossed!!!

Wow.. look at the drop in monthly submissions to VSC on Igors list for the last two months. if there is a direct corelation to the actual number of submissions to VSC.. this is great news.. at one point there were over 200 on the list for one month, then just above 100 and now below 50....

One thing to note about these numbers is that they depend on folks entering the data in the timeline. If most do that early on, then your individual number should see steady movement. On the other hand, if a lot of members join late in the process (and enter the timeline info accordingly), it will seem as no movement is being made, despite seeing some getting approved.

As an example, our number on the Berkeley list was 213 on 6/11. On 6/25 (two weeks later), it was still 213. That is despite over 30 members reporting receipt of an NOA2. What happened was that the same number (over 30) entered the timeline during the same period. So the net result was that our number stayed the same.

In short, you can set yourself up for false hopes (and false disappointment) if you give the numbers too much weight. Hopefully most will get the information in early, but there will always be some who didn't find VJ until later in the process.

Best of luck to you and keep the faith! I'm still waiting, but the recent approvals are giving me hope (even though I'm still at 205 on that list today, despite 9 approvals just this week).

Some good news that someone 70 or so ahead of you on the list got NOA2 already without expedite

Aww! That must have been sweet an exciting! I probably am going to have mine made. Have been spending big time on wedding stuff websites to pick the design I like.. I picked a few I hope I find that perfect dress in my head though. We are going to have a beach wedding. I'm so excited!!
