I filed the I-129F with the California service center in July 2 2012 and my case / status has not changed since that date. I am past the 5 month window that is stated on the website. I've called 30 days ago and was told "Everything is fine and it should be approved before the 5 months". I called again today and was told that they are processing Jun 2012 yet and no other info for my case.

Sorry all - I just need reassurance or direction, I miss my fiancé and want her here with me so much!

She is Pinay, she's never been married. I have been and I am divorced. I work in the medical field and my background is squeaky clean.

Hi! Give it a few more days. Your NOA2 should arrive soon. :) God bless!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to Him,
and He will make your paths straight.

In GOD we trust. † = ♥

I have mentioned this before. This one reason god created bars. Have a nice drink, chill out, stop looking at time lines ( which are only a guide anyway)and remember this is only one stop on a long train ride.Good luck to all. ( personally I prefer a nice cool Pina Colada !)

I can feel your pain. Hang in there and this will come to an end. The more you think about it, the more you get disappointed and depressed. Be positive, it will be in your hands hopefully soon. and pray. God bless!

All you can do is be patient. We went through the same thing. Vermont has simply slowed to a screeching halt. I called them and they kept telling me to wait two more months. I was calling them every two weeks. Then it just came.

I know it can be nerve-wrecking, and I know exactly how you feel, but just be patient. It will come.

Good Luck!

Well... I woke up this morning with a thought...

"A watched pot never boils"

Seriously- that's the first thing on my mind and I realized... I need to be patient and walk away from the "site".... I of course had already signed up for e-notice so why do I need to check? It's like an alarm for when "the pot boils"

Patience And getting my mind off it...

We signed up for e-notice too and we never got anything thru email or text. Checking the website once a day or every other day is not bad, I think :) just be positive, you'll get it soon for sure!
