We are a bi-national same sex couple of almost three years. I reside in the USA and my fiance resides in the Philippines. We mailed our I129F on August 2nd. Received confirmation of receipt on August 8th. And this week on Monday, almost 7 weeks to the day, we received notification that our petition has been approved. The next day we were notified that it has been forwarded to the Dept of State for VISA processing. I was caught off guard with the speed it was processed at.

So to all other same sex couples as far as I can tell at this point in the process we are certainly being treated fairly.

Same sex filer here too. NAO2 8/22. My fiance is Filipina working abroad in Canada. Waiting for case number which should be very soon now. My only suggestion for you is to start preparing all the docs needed for "packet 3" make sure you have NBI, not just police clearance k. Good luck

petition filed 10/02, ALIEN REG NUMBER chaged 10/04, NOA1 received shortly after, RFE RECEIVED 11/06, i responded to an RFE from CSC in a timely fashion ... CSC confirmed receiving the documentation requeste on 11/08. USCIS website updates my Case Status to "REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE RESPONSE REVIEW". Today I received a text/email from CSC re: Case Status Update stating that Alien Reg Number has been changed...or the 2nd time??? Upon checking USCIS website for case status it went back to INITIAL REVIEW!!!!

my question is, is this odd or does this ever happen? isn't the process supposed to be progressive so why would my case go back to INITIAL REVIEW after a month or so of submitting the petition?

please can someone shed a light on this issue???
