Hey Guys, since my fiancee and i decided to get married, we have been looking at this forum. I've sent the i129f on march 23,2011 and received a postal confirmation from usps that it arrived on the 25th. Unfortunately, i have no received anything from USCIS and i am wondering if there is something wrong? Also guys my fiancee s from Ecuador,South America. does any one know how long the process take for people with Ecuadorian nationality, and if age is a issue when it come to the application to get accepted. please help me out thanks.

I am in the same boat as you are. We filed in November and received our NOA 1 on December 2. We have not heard anything as of yet either. I called today thinking that today the 2nd was the 5 months wondering why we have not heard anything as of yet, but was told that it has only been 4 months. Duh! My fiance wanted to correct me, but thought I knew better, but I didn't. The lawyer that helped us told me that no news is good news. I know it is hard to accept that, cause I want to know what is going on. Now my fiance is having a hard time to continue to wait. I want to scrap everything and go there to be honest.

Hang in there my friend.

Go to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate forum and find the thread "US Consulate in Guayaquil, Ecuador." Also, atop every screen here is "Embassy Info" and "Reviews: Embassy." Read the input on Guayaquil, paying attention to the very WORST experiences.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Hey there,

We have the same dilemma. My fiance sent i-129f last March 24, 2011. We're nervously waiting for NOA1... It is very stressful already coz I thought this is the most easy part. Sad thing is my fiance did not have any receipt from USPS to trace the package lol

Good luck to us!
