First of all, thank you VisaJourney for taking the worry and the complexity out of filing the I-129F.

With that said, our petition was APPROVED! The California Service Center has just outdone itself. We filed in the middle of August, got our NOA1 around August 17, and just when I was getting worried that our case hadn't been touched in the month that it's been out in I-129Fland, we got our NOA2. They processed our petition in 26 days. We're an entire 1.5 months ahead of what I was expecting. I'm gobsmacked.

Wishing everyone else an expedient process like ours. Please keep us updated on your timelines - it really helps everyone. Thank you all!!!

No expedite requested, and no bribes, lol. We just faithfully did our research and made sure our evidence for the relationship/making sure we've seen each other in the past two years was solid. I think the wisest advice I've gotten from VJ was to file your petition as if the adjudicator knows NOTHING about your relationship (because they don't). We painted a very cohesive and chronological story about how we met, how we became friends and how we fell in love. All the evidence we submitted just supported our story in a very logical way.

Don't get me wrong - it's totally bizarre. Based on my timeline projection, we were looking at November at the earliest. This is only half the battle. I am a little concerned - he's visiting the first week of October and I hope they don't give him trouble upon arriving here. We're arming ourselves with plenty of paperwork in an attempt to prove that he's going back to London (and he is, it's only a 10 day visit), but I hope it all goes well.

I was smart and started getting stuff together for the Affadavit of Support as I filled out the I129-F, so there's more paperwork to come.

Can anyone tell me what they are experiencing with the NVC in terms of wait? I'm hoping the embassy in London won't send his packet until AFTER he gets back. His neighbours can be kind of sketchy when it comes to the post.
