I-129F: Case status

[suka330 0]

Hello VJ Family,

I'm probably just anxious to hear about my case. However, in a couple other posts I've noticed that some petitioners are able to actually talk to a INS representative regarding their case. Is this possible? If so, is there a number I can call? Or a website I go to for this specific number?

Thank you all for the time in reading and responding to this post.

Happy New Years to all!

All my best,

I know you can talk to customer service about it, or if you need someone who can see more, schedule in Infopass appointment.

For example, at the Infopass appointment I had on Monday, the lady was able to tell what date the biometrics results were posted to my husband's cases. They couldn't see that at the customer service desk. They just read the exact same status found on the website.

Actually I just called the USCIS and they would give me updates on my case. I don't know if this is going to help you but here is the number 1-800-375-5283 you're going to need your receipt number.

Best wishes!!

Awww, thanks for the replies.

So I just made an infopass appointment for January 14th, 2010. They offer 4 kinds of appointments for a case that you have already filed. I chose the following option:

Case Services follow-up appointment - If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must bring the Service Request ID Number related to your inquiry to the appointment.

However, I never made an initial inquiry? Does that matter? I'm just wondering what is the current status on my case? Would that be enough reason to see someone? Will I be ok to go in with the copy of my 129F packet that I sent in?

Please advise.

As always, thank you so much for the time!

You applied 2 months ago, you are within normal processing times. That is what you will hear. I'm sorry but the waiting is the toughest part. InfoPass, in my opinion, is not for people just looking for a status update. Besides, since you never made an initial inquiry, you won't have the service ID number which you are requested to bring to the apt.

We waited 178 days between NOA-1 and NOA-2 so I know how difficult it is to wait. But unless you fall outside their processing goals, very little can be done for you and, in my opinion, is not worth an InfoPass apt.

Good luck.

Thank you for your response.

Ok, so it's confirmed, I guess I am overly anxious and a bit impatient. LOL! At least I know how to make an appointment with InfoPass.

The waiting is so hard, but I know God always provides.

Is there anything I can while waiting?!

I don't think it matters. That's the one I used both times I've had Infopass appointments. But when I got there, I told the guard that I was there with questions about my case. Then at the window, I explained the situation. I was never requested to give a service request ID number.
