:dance: E-notification (double) received at midnight!

We were sent to VSC :crying:

And so it begins...

Diana!

You guys sent them the wrong fee as well? Im so sorry to hear that :-( But congrats on getting your email, Im happy for you guys!

Im wondering, why are you upset over having your petition sent to Vermont? Ours got sent to VSC too and based on what Ive read here Vermont shouldn't be any slower than CSC? It seems to me that any little thing makes me worry so much more :unsure:

Right now, Vermont is actually behind California in getting approvals out. California is processing August, while Vermont is processing July. You can see the historical trends for approval wait time here: K-1 Historical and see what month each is working on here: Igor's List . Overall, they are both past the 5-month wait time on average.

I believe that that would indeed be your NOA1 date.

You can verify it when you get the hardcopy, but I'd assume it safe enough to put on your timeline for now.

Went ahead and updated those who could see their NOA1 dates online.

Also removed the 'check cash date' just because it doesn't mean much for our purposes and it made my screen wrap funny while I was updating the list.

Actually managed to get everything flawless but using an outdated I-129f. How in the...?! :blink:

BUT, hopefully now, our journey begins well.

Good to be a part of a January filing group.

Just received our USCIS Acceptance Confirmation by email that the Dallas Lockbox has received our application/petition and routed to the Vermont Service Center for processing.

After looking at this website (which I wished I had found before sending out the forms) I realize that we did the minimum necessary based on the USCIS website. We only sent the I-129F and the Biographical info sheet for each of us. No cover letter or separate declaration letter and no statements or photos... it didn't ask for ANY of that... now I'm worried they will turn the application back. I have all of that info but was waiting for them to ask for it at my consulate appointment but wondering if I should send it separately. Any advice???

Thank you,

JustJanis

Those time intervals vary greatly and should not be taken as indicators for anything.

For example, it took 7 days for us to get the NOA1.

Hello there, welcome :) Just checking if I understand correctly: You only sent out the petition yesterday and already today have gotten the E-notification email that they accepted and rerouted the petition to your service center? Woah :huh: We sent ours out 6 days ago and nothing yet...

Hi and thank you. No I think I got that wrong. :huh: We sent the package to the Lockbox on the 11th - the cheque was cashed by the 14th and yesterday we got notification that the Lockbox sent it to Vermont, now we are waiting the 7 days for the notice from Vermont saying that they have received it, at least that is what I am understanding the timeline is.

Now I'm not sure if I should be sending all the back-up that this website is saying I should have included with the package??? I will be visiting my fiance in Japan at the end of February (he's there working for 3 months) and wondering if I should be bringing more forms for us to fill out and affidavits etc??? :help:

Ah, gotcha. I just checked your timeline and it showed the 17th for I-129F sent. ;)

Sending in information now will not change anything, it will most likely just get lost and one should always wait to get an RFE which specifically requests more evidence before sending any documents in. You will most likely get an RFE as you should have provided Letters of Intent of both you and your fiancé(e), proof of citizenship of the USC, proof of having met in the past two years (boarding passes, hotel receipts, passport stamps etc.) and passport type photos of both beneficiary and petitioner attached to the biographical sheets. I thought these information are included on the official I-129F instructions that USCIS has on their website. Cover letter and photos are not strict requirements, but don't hurt either. I don't know what exactly you have provided with your petition, but if it was really only the I-129F form and two G-325A, you will definitely get an RFE. You don't really have a choice but to sit it out and wait :( and of course prepare all necessary documents to sent in right away after you get an RFE, read all the guides on the K1 you can find on this website ;)
