Hi everyone...

Well, it's only within these few days did I learn to pull up my case (I-129F).

My Notice Date - NOA1 was 01/12/2007, when I pulled my case this past

week it was listed as 01/18/2007 - assuming that I was touched.

I was planning to check the status of my case mid of next week, but I could

not resist. Checked this evening aaaand BAM! The date has changed to 01/20/2007.

If the change of date means that my case is being touched/worked on/ looked at...

does this imply that they also work on weekends for 01/20/2007 was a Saturday?

Thanks,

Asamu :help:

Glad to help. :) It looks like your I-129 is in Chicago now. You can expect your petition to get transferred to Missouri and then on to the California where it will actually be processed.

Our I-129F was approved last Friday (the 19th) but we were touched again on the 20th... the last update was showing as the 19th well into Saturday, then changed to the 20th at some point.

So... yes, you can!

2005 - We met

2006 - Filed I-129F

2007 - K-1 issued, moved to US, completed AOS (a busy year, immigration-wise)

2009 - Conditions lifted

2010 - Will be naturalising. Buh-bye, USCIS! smile.png
