Hello everyone! I started this forum for people that will be looking into and filing a I-129F application for their same sex partners. I have to say that VisaJourney.com is an extremely helpful websit

I really appreciate the Biology lesson Paul Elizabeth, but this is completely off subject. If you have nothing about K-1 Visas or I-129F to post please keep your comments to yourself.

Congratulations!!!

I'm so glad same sex couples are getting the NOA2 approved.

Me and my boyfriend mailed everything at the beginning of May, we got the WAC number and the NOA1 on the 23rd of May (California Center). And we're still waiting for an answer :(

In just over a week it will be 5 months since they received the forms. I'm so frustrated because now I know I won't be spending christmas with him.

We're even about to hire a lawyer to help us out with whatever. After 3 years living (Hawaii-UK) is getting so hard, feeling like we need help.

I guess we will have to keep waiting.

It'd be nice to follow your process, so I know what we know what we have in front of us.

Congrats again.

Unfortunately we have to wait 5 months before we can call them, which is in 7 days. The 21st of this month I will call them in the morning and find out what's happening.

I knew from the beginning that our case would be one of those that get lots half way. :)

I will let you know guys when it gets approved.

Has any same sexy visa application made it past the NOA2 stage without specifically stating which state they plan to marry.? Even though I reside in California, my letter of intent did specifically state that I would marry in California within in 90 days. I do see some same sex visas application that have passed the NOA2 stage that where not in the select marriage equality states, that did not have a RFE.

I got my NOA2 without specifically stating anywhere in my application that I would marry in California. I do live there. No RFE.
