I want to ask something. My fiancé filed last july for me, we got a RFE asking for more evidence about us (which we provided), then we received awful news, they denied our 129-F petition because my fiancé didn't submit his G325A form. That was the reason. The notice said that it was because he didn't provide that form and it was asked in the RFE but we never saw they wrote that. anyways... we were so desperate and every plan we had for our wedding went to the trash. We filed again in January and here we are with all of you guys (We did everything right this time, we even provided more evidence, more pictures, more everything). We were advised to file again but I don't know if we could have appealed to the uscis, I don't know if it would have been better to appeal. (I heard it takes 1 year). Anyway, would this be a hold for us? what do you think? is everything we did right? are we in the right step?

Just checking in... A little over 4 months now for me! Super excited to see VSC starting to approve some Nov filers!! dancin5hr.gif

Just planned another trip for Mid June (his b-day). I know it's probably not the best idea since we have tons of expenses coming up in our (hope so) near future. But I couldn't reason not going expecially since approval speeds vary drastically for no apparrent reason. I would hate not to go and still not get an approval till August or September. The distance is really starting to get to us and just the not knowing when we will see each other again was a big part of that... We always feel better when we have a countdown... 42 more days heart.gif
