Congratulations!

Thanks, elyhim! Praying October will deliver good news for all April filers!

Hi all, I thought I would pop in to give some more encouraging news. We just received the magic text we have been waiting for: "Your K1 Petition has been approved"!! We are both absolutely ecstatic!! It's been a long and torturous 6 months to the day since our NOA1. Good luck to everyone still waiting - hang in there! :)

:goofy: Congratulations!

This is exactly how I was feeling. Keep it together! B-) It will be coming soon.

Approved!

Still thinking about those in February, March and April who are still waiting!

I know exactly what you mean. It's going to be tight trying to do all we need to do before the end of the year, and even then, we will probably not get Jessa here by then. I'm so very happy and relieved to have NOA2, but it sure would have been nice to have another month to work with. Oh well! I certainly have no room to complain at this point. I just have to be thankful because it could have been much worse. It will all come together soon enough now, and I believe your approval is just right around the corner so hang in there guys! :yes:

Ok, so as you can imagine, I'm having all these mixed emotions lately... nervous, excited, stressed out, frustrated, anxious, desperate... waiting for the "oh it's gotta be so close" NOA2.

To try to ease my mind I made an Excel spreadsheet with I129F filers from my same date and close to my number and check them everyday. It was working fine for my neurosis until today... 2 numbers close to mine got a RFE (yes, after we've been waiting for freaking six months) and one got a DENIAL today! How can you get a DENIAL after six months??? What the heck is a denial anyway???

Help! I'm going crazy with this waiting game! :bonk:

Oh my god, I did the same thing for 129F on my NOA1 date! Only to discover that on 10/10, they approved the number in front of me, and the number after me....but skipped over mine. Ugh!

I noticed that there seems to be a lot of RFEs issued....about 1/3d with RFE's, 1/3d approved and 1/3d still waiting. I only saw one denial, but 2 withdrawals. Ever since I saw those 2 numbers before and after me approved, I check that darn website every ten minutes! It's becoming an obsession!!!

Anyway, my theory is that most people with RFE's and denials may not have discovered Visajourney before they filed their application - at least that lets me sleep at night. It can't be too much longer now ;-)

Patience is a very hard thing when you are so anxiously awaiting news. Especially because VCS seemed to have started the weekend early today. Sigh

So good to know I'm not the only one going insane :lol: ... but honestly, what is a denial? It's not that you didn't file properly, cause there are many of those too... but on what grounds can they deny your application after six month of waiting? Does anybody know?

April 19 here and going equally insane over this proccess. I'm no expert but I believe denials can be for blatant things such as former marriage not being desolved or filing before the legal termination. Also for things such as not meeting in person in the past 2 years etc. I think it is typically for things that totally do not follow the guidelines and not simply for something that requires a RFE. As for the waiting for 6 months to find that out, well no one has looked at the files in 6 months LOL so hopefully we all prepared our forms and documentation properly. Seems today was a slow day at VSC based on the non-posting of approvals.......waiting, waiting, waiting

Thanks, you are right... I forgot all about people being married before filing for K1... I think I should get a glass of wine and relax a little bit.

Oh, and yes! So far just 2 approvals on Igor's list today... never hated weekends like I do now! :rofl:
