Currently.... they have issued Ice the incorrect GC and we have tried 4 times to fix it. First time they had us send it to the incorrect address. Second time they said we used an expired form, which was the form they gave us. Third time was "oh sorry we lost the last page, can you send it again?." Fourth time is the gov is shut down. Will this ever be corrected in time for Ice to get the permanent GC? Stay tuned to find out. T_T

Finally finished & put the I-129F in the mail!!! May has been a big month for me this year....saw my sweetie, she said "yes", had a birthday and completed the I-129F!!! Hope you guys accept me into the May group? I'd feel strange being associated with any other month, lol

Here's hoping for no RFE's and an NOA2 in the not too distant future for all of us!!!

May 01, 2011 - Permission and Blessing from her father received (3+ hour conversation)!

May 07, 2011 - She said "yes", we are engaged!!!

May 31, 2011 - Sent Form I-129F via USPS with return receipt requested.

Some not-so-good news for you Jeff: since you live in the Sunshine State, your petition will be sent to Vermont. Pull up a chair and grab a cooler of cold ones. The wait is going to be a bit lengthy.

Ray-J, yeah, I read where VSC has jurisdiction for those of us residing in FL and that they have been running quite slow of late. Well, best for me to have the patience of Job and keep my nose to the grindstone so that agitation doesn't set in down the road, lol. At the moment, I figure three things could happen: My petition could still be routed to CSC in an effort by USCIS to balance the workload; VSC could shift more assets to processing K-1's to catch-up/speed-up on their workload; and, the good Lord may just have a plan that includes us waiting for the "right time" for the Visa issuance to happen in our lives. Yeah, I know....it's only been less than 24 hours since I mailed the I-129F so it's easy for me to have a positive outlook, lol. Figured I better take that attitude for this journey.... :)

Best wishes for you and yours!!

That's the spirit, Jeff. hehehe. I hear that one of the possible reasons for VSC taking their sweet time is that they're in the process of moving into new and larger facilities. As I'm sure anyone can imagine, moving an entire government office is no small nor easy task. After all, the only part of the government that is actually good at moving anything is the military.

The VJ timeline is a tool to give us hope. :lol: Keep watching yours. As people get their NOA2's, you'll see your timeline estimate change. Mine started out in September and look at where it is now. :D
