So I've been looking up other case numbers on the USCIS site...so far, I've found two other I-129F petitions with NOA-1 dates the same as mine. One of those got a touch on 5 Mar 2010. Could be nothing, but since I'm obsessively looking up other case numbers, I'm hoping it's an "almost-NOA-2" touch.

hello , I'm a february filer too.. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.. I'm really excited!!

[UTskier 0]

I am trying to become a Feb 2010 CSC filer. I mailed the I-129F package from the Post Office Certified return receipt requested on Monday, Feb 1, 2010. It is Friday, Feb 5. I have not got the receipt back from the Post Office, I keep entering the postal number in to their web-site and keep getting the same information, the package was accepted at my post office February 1.

I should have sent it Fed Ex overnight to get in the line and start processing. I am so paranoid that the whole package was lost and I will need to redo everything.

I will be able to join the Feb. 2010 CSC club after I see the receipt back from the post office, the check is casehed, and I get NOA1.

Good luck to all of us.

Any news of a March 2010 CSC filer club yet?

We file, I-129F for Thailand. In Utah we must file at CSC right? This is quicker I hear anyhow.

Any suggestions for us? We provided lots of documentation, like pics, receipts, etc. Even our engagement ceremony in Chiang Mai from November.

Now the journey begins....

Hiya

You're more than welcome here but thought you might like to follow the thread that is specifically for CR-1/IR-1 Feb filers, which is located here. It's a somewhat different process, as you're already married and will be granted a temporary GC stamp in your passport post successful interview, instead of a visa to enter the US, get married and adjust, which is what we K-1ers are doing.

Best of luck

what are you guys doing while you wait for noa2? been pondering if i should start my affidavit of support form now...`

We're currently addicted to City of Heroes, so spending too many hours playing that! Catching up with my various shows that I fell behind with, like House, Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, Lost. Waiting for the new season of Breaking Bad to start and gradually starting to separate out the contents of the house that I'll need to sell or want to keep/ ship.

I guess it's a little different when you're the petitioner but we're going to start pulling the I-134 documents together over the next couple of weeks, since he's filed his 2009 taxes.

I also need to get a couple of documents relating to my daughter notarized, order my German and UK police certificates (French one is already on its way - I wish everyone would do them online for free! lol) and have also just made an appointment for us to start getting our immunisations up to date.

ETA: Just joined the gym too! lol... figured it would help keep me distracted by focusing on something else. Don't want to buy a wedding dress 'til I've shifted a fair few pounds
