March 2010 CR1 filers

[Sleepytiger 0]

Sounds like they are going to process you pretty soon marie_yahya... of course, what you will get is not something I know. We got our NAO1 on the 22nd of March and was approved on the 17th... yesterday... maybe you will get news tomorrow if it goes numerically

My wife and I submitted a I-130 and I-129, the I-129 was submitted after the I-130, I later found out that in some case they close one because they were not submitted together... they termed it as administration closed. I recieved my acceptance email yesterday for both petitions, but they only worked on the one which was the I-130, they said that they didn't need the I-129 afterall, which made me wonder but the good news was, they continued as if they were together.

I'm not enitely sure why both forms need to be submitted but I think the Attorney told us it was because one was quicker than the other, make what you want of that but it confused me... is your I-130 still running?

but the i-129F that they are talking about is the one we filed as fiance last year....i just sent in for this filing and I-130 petition with the biograhic forms i never sent in an I-129F from with this I-130....

I think you'll get your answer soon marie_yahya, ours was touched yesterday and by 5.30 pm their time, I got my email of approval... I submitted my I-129 & I-130 on the 22 of March, 2 days before you I believe

My pooter is playing up, hence the reason for the triple post.

I understand what you're saying but I don't think it matters, the I-129 doesn't have to go in, it is just advised that you send it in, the I-129 gives you a visa for 6 months while you're waiting on the I-130 approval, I was told to submit a I-129 just in case it got accepted before the I-130, that way i could have gone out to America to be with my wife while the other one is being processed... as it happens you're now on the verge of your I-130 approval or as the case may be... disapproval which will only happen if you are not genuine, they rarely reject a genuine case for a petition I-130.

I think you should keep an eye on your USCIS status... mine came through at the very end of their working day... I filed at Califonia and they are 9 hours behind me... does that help?

yes thank you so much for that explination omg ok so you dont need the I-129 to be filed with the I-130 ok so that means they are working on the I-130 as is nothing to make if faster...ok so i pray today will be the e-mail for this approval and yes we are more then real with our love and there is no way that we can be denied ...so we just have to wait now...again...thank you so much

You're welcome, I hope you get your good news today or at least tomorrow, just keep an on your status... I obsessed over mine... lol... I was on there every other hour for a week... drove me mad.

I really do wish you all the best and I pray you have good news, like I said earlier, hardly any genuine petitions are refused, and that isn't coming from me, I read up about refusals and the why's.

I'm sorry, the I-129F does not give you a visa for 6 months - it has a 2 year duration on it, instead,

with a 6 month 'validity date' (date from issuance to first usage)

Today's the 3rd day I haven't checked USCIS website for status. I don't know how I feel? A bit anxious, a bit flabbergasted, a bit happy, a bit worried, a bit hungry among few other things.

Call the uscis, I was approved after multiple touches but didnt know I was approved during one of those touches until the NVC contacted me

Are you a march or april filer? can you fill your timeline please? thanks!

[KBcrand1 1]

OK ANYONE WHO HAS APPLIED ON A i-129f before the I-130 can you tell me this.....today in the mai i recieved another letter that states my I-129F petition has been closed..the first letter two months ago stated it went to storage....does this have anything to do with why our I-130 petition is taking so long damn... I dont get this ####### we already knew this that we were denied so that is why we got married in morocco not here cos we had to appy for the I-130 omg are these people stupid.... and why would they put two cases together if one was denied omg ....so now that they touched our case today will that be our time for approal...hope someone can help with this...thank you

Don't be to concerned over that. Thankfully, it takes them longer to decide where to put you old file then it does to process a new one. <------ well, now that I think about that....hmmm, that isn't entirely true.

from past experience on that though I can tell you, it took them 6 months to close my case after sending them certified letter of withdrawal. I don't think it affects your current situation.

Another week about to end and only one approval so far.

Yep......and now I have lost hopes......until 5 month mark I am not going to see NOA-2....and probably without writing emails to CSC and senators.......

[IndigoSkies 168]

I'm just a week short of 4 months mark for I-130 filed. I'm not freaking out yet. I don't think I should at least until I cross over the VJ timeline. I wish there was another such site as Visa Journey. Then we could've cross referenced out junks. I hope Yayha_Marie gets some good news in couple of days, however.

[johndoe12 2]

Just spoke to a nice lady at the senator's office and she took down my information and will contact me once she hears something. Hopefully it will be soon and something other than "have to wait 5 months as that's the processing time".

I have been waiting for 137 days as of today
