At this point even a RFE is wonderful! Good luck!

Well, to give you some hope, our NOA1 was December 5, 2011, and we received our NOA2 on June 25, 2012. Well...they didn't update the status or notify me until June 28, but technically the approval was June 25....203 days (6 months and 3 weeks).

We were at the VSC.

We just received the NOA2 for the I-129F on July 6 also (NOA1 was Dec 14, 2011), which is strange because I thought they automatically cancel that petition when the I-130 is approved first...

I think I'll go to my local office to clarify some things prior to the NVC contacting me. I have questions on the name change for my wife anyhow...we may have a problem due to her home country's policies preventing her passport from matching the name we filed under...

Oh, just FYI for anyone watching the Immigration Timelines (Igor's List), be aware that the "Stats page" is not accurate / up to date. I always calculated my own stats by copying the people's timelines and pasting "special" in unicode to MS Excel and performed the calculations. (I used the statistics when reaching out to my politicians.)

I know the "stats" page here is wrong because it does not include Venezuela in the list and their are two couples, including my wife and I, that the beneficiary is from Venezuela since November 30, 2011.

Also, if anyone is from New York that is still waiting and is looking to contact a politician , I recommend contacting Senator Kirsten Gillibrand to assist with your case. Her office was very receptive and helpful, vs. Charles Schumer outright ignoring us. And my local Representative, Brian Higgins, was less than helpful.

Awesome! Congrats! I apparently wasn't on the last page in the forums when I responded earlier...I am apparently a bit careless and absent minded when I am replying from work.

NVC is not asking for "Original" marriage certificate, but they need a "Certified" marriage certificate in IV package with DS-230 form.
