I-129F

[mmc-b 0]

Bear w/ me. This is my first post. My husband (U.K. resident) and I are living just outside of London, U.K. As we've been married for only one year, we are required to work through the VCS in order to obtain the K3 visa/permanent visa rather than the London consulate.

We received a NOA for the I-130. It was sent to my permanent U.S. address as the USCIS will not mail anything outside the U.S (so I was told by a USCIS official). We followed that up by sending the I-129F form to the Chicago Service Center (Sept. 23rd). As of yet, I have not received ANY notice of receipt. We did sent it by registered Royal Mail, however, the only receipt we have was that it was received by the U.S. Postal Service (hmph!). I checked with my bank and the cheque was cashed on/around October 10th.

I tried calling them today, however, no luck getting through to a living being. I'm extremely anxious---I'm sure many of you can understand---especially not getting any sort of notice from them. I don't won't to be pushed to the back of the pending queue!

I would not worry so much about the snail mail NOA1. Look on the back of your cheque to get your case number. It will be in the endorsement area beginning with EACxxxxxxxxx.

I was confused as I looked at the K-1/VSC information and did not reference back to the text of the message... If people would fill out the profile properly you would not have to correct me all the time...

fwaguy,

Agreed. But recognizing the habits of many VJers as you do, and wishing to avoid my swats of a 2x4 upside the head as you do, if you would look at all the information that is available, and ask clarifying questions when all that information is conflicting or confusing before you provide information, you might not need to be corrected so often.

Take solace in the fact that you have a lot of company.

My only solace is that one time you looked at all the information and it came back to bite you......
