its just the stress,the stress we go through as individuals in every day life is just nearly unbearable ( our schedules are hectic,his due to his job,mine to my education ) now add to that the stress of this process,the stress of a long term long distance relationship,and the pressure and the stress of the distance,and people constantly asking about how things are going and if our case has gone through yet,its just a recipe for disaster.im just really torn part,to sum it up,i need a break from being me,dealing with the things i deal with.

thanks tho,good luck to you too,i really do hope this is your month

This is really the most stressful part of our journey. We are hanging into something and the result is unknown. Being away from each other is really heartbreaking and a greatest test in a relationship. Every couple should have an unshakable foundation of their love while going through this process. Reassure each other of your love and talk about the sweetest you've done together. It will somehow give you streghth and will carry you through the whole journey. We all have our ups and downs in life. Just pray, pray and pray and do your best. Goodluck and Godbless to all of US! We'll receive the NOA2 soon!

Thanks and same to you SimplyMacy! This is just a test...

How/where did you get that timeline?

Go to your timeline, you will see it.

Here is your: "Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between December 29, 2010 and January 2, 2011*. "

[En&Em 1]

Today I called the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) for a question about my i-129F application, unrelated to timelines.

Before I could ask my question, the staff member said, your application is on a "five-month hold." Although this could change, she said currently, CSC is not scheduled to start processing the application until February 2011.

She added other applications with receipts (NOA1s) from September 2010 are also on hold until February 2011. She said that the hold was necessary because of a significant backlog at CSC.

I continued to ask some questions:

- Was this unique to my application or to those of us with receipts (NOA1s) from September 2010?

- More specifically, was the hold applicable to applications from July, August, October, and November?

- How does the hold affect CSC's official goal of five months for these applications?

She said the five-month hold applied to all I-129Fs (and perhaps some others, but I did not absorb what she said about other types of applications). She explained that July 2010 applications were on hold until December 2010; August 2010 were on hold until January 2011; etc. She again stressed that this was the current information, and it could change.

With regard to the official goal of five months, she really did not say much, other than repeating that the September applications would be processed in February 2011.

I am somewhat hopeful that her information is out-of-date, for example, the transfer of marriage applications to Texas might be an indication that this supposed backlog is already well on the way to being cleared. While I am trying to remain optimistic, I was disappointed with this potential news.

Has anybody received similar information about a supposed "five-month hold" at CSC? Does anybody have some perspective about this?

[En&Em 1]

Just to be clear, I know my information is somewhat disturbing, but...

I want to share information, but not cause too much stress, especially until we have more information. I have read posts about the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) giving out conflicting information in the past. Part of the reason I asked so many questions of the staff person is to be sure she was not trying to talk about the five-month goal. She clearly continued to talk about a hold, but who knows. And I think some have said that the NCSC staff does not get cutting-edge and in-depth information from the service centers.

To try to figure this out, I thought it best to compare notes with others, to see if anyone else received similar information. I am wondering if someone else has had recent contact with or without any info about a hold.

I think most of May has been approved by now. They're working their way through June.

I swear, the day I see a July approval I'm going to cry. It doesn't even have to be mine.

Haha well I hope it's mine!

Honestly, I'm not buying the whole 5 month hold thing. Wouldn't that mean they would have waited until November to process June applications? Lots of people got approved in October.

Precisely. I think it's the standard bull they tell callers just to get rid of them and give them unrealistic time frames. You always read posters on here talk about the various lines given to them by the CSC. Just a few weeks ago someone posted that they stated they were on April 23rd applications when we were seeing June approvals.

As long as we keep seeing daily approvals, we have nothing to worry about.

Yeah, exactly.

It seemed like they jumped from about June 10th to June 22...I'm hoping they'll get to about June 30 and then skip ahead to July 6 and 7. Starting next week, every time I get a text or email, my heart is going to be pounding!
