Be certain the petitioner preps another I-864 set, to submit into NVC.

NVC won't care that there's a I-864 in the casefile, as they don't open the I-130 to retrieve stuff, as a general rule.

yayyyyy :dance:

Congratulations! That's my NOA1 date as well I hope mine gets approved soon

again, CONGRATS!!

[Darnell 8,478]

it's okay. there's no rule against it. i like the october filer group.

We aren't your peer group, though.

Your peer group is the November fellas.

Also, you get no sense of 'whats up' with your casefile as you filed later than us.

I strongly suggest you join the November group and abandon the October group, nowish.

Congratsssss....was ur petition for K3 also approved?? mine is still in initial review, I guess filing for k3 wasn't that bad at all because I'm thinking it's somehow related and we weren't just fortunate, shortly after that status message we received our approval and the only people that got that message were the ones that had a pendin I-129F

Nope, no change on the I-129f petition. Our preference was for the I-130 to move forward more quickly, anyway.

We are expecting it to be cancelled at some point because of the (pleasantly) rapid progress of the I-130.

It would be excellent if my wife can enter into th US no later than very early May. This is starting to feel safely realistic now, which is a huge relief.

I agree, one day is not enough to stress on--November 1 is only 3% later than 31 October.

And we like you too. Good luck!

Congrats! If all goes without a hitch then by May is totally doable. We're still holding out hope for May too and with you all being a file abroad not that much before ours, you've give me some hope!

I'm hoping to go home to my husband the latest by March for our 1st wedding anniversary, I'd probably shoot myself if it takes that long
