I'm wondering if some people got approvals and moved on to NVC without posting on VJ?

Are you all still out there waiting as well? I know a few from TSC which might be a little slower, but have you all heard anything? We got transfer noticed on 3 of February to CSC and no approval yet. Congrats to those that have gotten it, I hope the rest of us get approved soon.

Hey guys,

I hope everyone will get approved soon!

I have a question relating to my approved I-129F... On the hard copy where it says "notice type" there is a following note: "valid from 02/26/14 to 06/25/14". What does it mean?

My I-130 was approved at the same time, so I assume I can forget about I-129F, but still I am clueless what this validity period is...

Thanks for any tips!

My NOA1 date is 08.06.2013, I was transfered to CSC in 02.03.2014 and I have no sign from them until now. I really love this random lottery system that they have for working on our files.

Please add me on the google spreadsheet.

Our priority date is Aug. 30, 2013. On Feb. 25th we were transerred to California Service Center. Does anybody know how fast they approving petitions after the transfer date?. Ive seen a couple of people here get approved within 2 weeks of getting transferred. And if anybody has the same priority date or around the same date as mine let me know.... Good luck !

We have the same PD and were transferred to CSC, too, but on the 24th.

Hi Nastechka,

According to the State Department website <http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/types/family/spouse-citizen.html>, an approved I-129f has 4 months of validity as quoted below.

"My petition expired – Can it be extended?

The I-129F petition is valid for four months from the date of approval by USCIS. A Consular Officer can extend the validity of the petition if it expires before visa processing is completed."

If your I-130 was pending, the K-3 visa would have to be issued within 4 months. Once K-3 is issued it is valid for 2 years.

In case the I-130 is approved, USCIS says <http://www.uscis.gov/family/family-us-citizens/k3-k4-visa/k-3k-4-nonimmigrant-visas> the following:

"The Limitations of the K-3/K-4 Nonimmigrant Visa

When the K-3’s I-130 reaches the Department of State, an immigrant visa is immediately available to him or her such that the he or she and his or her children are no longer eligible for K-3/K-4 nonimmigrant status, but rather must immigrate as lawful permanent residents."

I hope this helps.

Try to remember, everyone still waiting from April-July is annoyed and frustrated too. And that's not an insignificant number of people. Nothing about this process is fair or logical, everyone just has to do their best to wait it out. August has been hugely lucky with most of you going to CSC... count your blessings.

ClockWatch2.gifClockWatch2.gifClockWatch2.gifClockWatch2.gifClockWatch2.gif What I don't understand how come people that filed in Feb 2014 got approvals?
