January I-129F filers

[KTandTommy 31]

Congrats on your NOA2, distressedbride (cute username haha)

[BnT 9]

That's cute - 2 "Honduran" ladies haha

I'm sorry to hear about all that. That's just crazy. I would be so mad. I just don't understand how they can't answer your calls and emails. I hope you ladies get it sorted out soon. Take care and let us know if anything changes

Well, I have been living here for over 2.5 years now, so I am pretty Honduran now. Haha. Anyway, apparently this is just how the dang embassy operates. There are many others trying to get info through the Facebook page and the person who answers there just says to email or call...RIGHT.....so it appears that you just wait a long time and eventually they get to you. We should see the September schedule of appts. around the 3rd week of August so my gosh I have everything crossed that we will be on there!!!!!!! There is really nothing else we can do aside from taking a long bus ride through the mountains down to the capital and attempting to get info in person.

BUT it is nice to see some good news on here though we are missing a lot more good news!!! Keep 'em coming VSC!!!

congrats to all those that got approved today, was away for most of the day but i hope i didnt miss much. im hoping soon a lot of you here will be able to sleep a little bit more comfortable. Its not easy waking up and thinkin about the NOA2. keep the faith my friends, it will be here soon. That elusive approval is coming #positivethoughs

I would love to if I ever receive this letter. Thats just a copy someone sent to me so I could read it.

Does this letter have a formal name, something I can ask specifically about?

When I call NVC and ask, try to describe it they act like they have no idea what this is.

Hang on, you should get the letter in the mail about 3-4 weeks after your noa2. if your fiancee only needs the embassy number, that should be available at about 15-20 days by calling.

ok so we got a letter from our senator and the letter that the senator got from the USCIS:

"Senator Bingaman,

The petition was received on January 20, 2012 and is pending review at the VSC. VSC's processing time for this form type , posted on www.uscis.gov website, is approximately 5 months from the received date.

According to the website, the petition is considered out of normal processing time (ONPT), however due to workload priorities, VSC is unable to expedite the processing of the Petition for Alien Fiance (Form I-129F) that is ONPT, at this time, in order for VSC to consider expediting the processing of a form I-129F evidence of an extreme emergent need would have to be provided.

You may want to contact us again, for a status update, in approximately 30-60 days.

Thank you "

Senator was kind to inform us that he will however keep an eye on our case and let us know as soon as he knows more... well nothing left but to patiently wait... we have tried everything, we are left on our own!

The good news is that my flatmate decided to stay with me till end of October so hopefully I have my visa till then... I won't complain, finally good news

What is this electronic packet 3 everyone is talking about?

I was thinking, now i call NVC constantly. Get a number, have ben go get his medical done

somehow i get a letter telling me a link to packet 3, i then call NVC give them my mastercard for the affidavit of support

but, does Packet 3 go to the UK embassy or NVC?

Thank you all for your help, I will be thinking about all of you.

Congratulations!!!

We didn't get ours until nearly a full month after our NOA2, we had it just after my medical exam! It'll get to you, but you don't need it for anything.

At least it's something! Hopefully a little nudge and nag every now and then will shove them in the right direction, but some serious questions need to be asked about WHY this delay even exists. It's shocking and horrible to watch.

Stay strong everyone

Embassy just received our case and I booked my appointment for sept 6 yay

I wanted that particular week since the medical is scheduled for the end of August (the doctor wasnt available sooner)

I guess I can go ahead and book my ticket soon for the day I originally wanted - sept 27

I am very excited!

Guys don't loose hope! Once you have the noa2 it moves freaking fast!

I will send positive thoughts for you, it's Thursday, noa2 time!!!!

Yes. you've done everything you can Sabi...It's just a matter of waiting for all of us now....Something was or still is occupying their time at VSC. Let's just pray this rate of adjudications continues so we can get out of VSC soon...and ha. love how they made sure to throw that 30-60 days in there...as if you would really wait 60 days to consider looking into things again...should be over long before that 30s for all of us I hope.
