January I-129F filers

[Neetz 7]

Looks like VSC takes about 6 weeks to make a decision on RFE

You got that right!!!, our RFE was May 7th, response review May 15th, NOA2 July 2nd.......

Yes in the interview with the adjudicator he mentioned they like to process couples with kids as they get credit for EACH person , so approving one family with 2 kids is an extra those are processed sooner than others

I am happy you got approved now Neetz as at least your kids will be able to start school in September!

But here is hoping that so will Texas' kids too!

Thanks Sabi

I was wondering about that... if they batch them into groups like that. It sure would be nice to know, and yes I was hoping the kids could start school with the other kids, but that isn't going to happen. The school year in our school district in Texas starts August 27th.

Thanks Sabi, i am feeling your pain, and everyone else's too, it sucks that it is not a fair system. It should be 1st come 1st served. I felt a little bad posting that we got approved when so many ahead of us were still waiting, but i figured you are all such a wonderful supportive bunch you would want to know and at least see that VSC is still working.

I am hoping that all the Jan filers get results this week and everyone can start planning their moves and lives, Jan filers deserve happy hearts and smiley faces!!

Thanks Neetz I hope the timing works out for you!

We are so sick of waiting, we are planning a drive down there in 3 weeks to spend some of the summer with my fiance. But alas, will have to come back here and wait it out... I have the kids still enrolled in their Canadian school, so they will have to start school here and go until we can move.

I am sure like me you are worn out trying to explain this system to the kids, we can't understand it, how can they!!! How many kids have you? and are they middle or high school, mine are high school and i have 2. Wow that will be a long drive but it will be worth it to have some time together. I have not seen Tommy since March, but he will be coming to Ireland for my interview as soon as we get the date, i can't wait............

I have two kids that are moving with me, my daughter is going into Grade 7 and my son is going into Grade 5.

My oldest daughter is 21 and she is staying in Canada (for now).

Yes it's hard to explain it... they know we are moving, they have known since January that it was official. My fiance came in February for a few weeks, and I flew down in May for a few weeks.(just myself)... but yes the long drive will be worth it. Good thing my kids love road trips. They enjoyed a month in Texas last summer, so they are excited to go again.

I just wish it was for good this time... oh well.. next time.

If you get NOA2 this week then maybe it could be for good, is Canada slow to give an interview date? Either way the end is in sight for your new life and it will be awesome!!!

The consulate in Montreal is on the ball right now. People are getting interviews within 5 - 6 weeks. However, summer is just starting, so who knows with holidays and vacation time. I will be happy if we can move by October 1st.

[Nana & Dodo 1]

OMG!!!! Did you see guys that petition who was approved today with NOA1 back to 12/5/2011?!!!!! Lord have mercy upon us all.

211 Days... Just utterly ridiculous!!!

The hardest part is the unfairness of it all... and we pay $$ for this service...

Whoa! I wonder if they forgot to put that they had an RFE or if they had longer background checks.

I looked at his profile, and he said no RFE... so who knows, but I noticed he also said that he called the congressman. So that is probably what helped in the long run.
