Logged in as usual to check and found our NOA2 approved from 11/21, I actually checked saturday and it did not show up but anyways, it's there now, our NOA1 dated 7/3. Anyone has a clue of how long usually takes for the next steps to complete until we finally get an appointment?

While i think many of us appreciate the volume of petitions the USCIS is receiving, it is unacceptable that some people at getting their I129F approved in 1 month while others are waiting over 6 month

JamesRenee, you have voiced the sentiments of many on here. What makes it so difficult is the not knowing. It's like being in a black hole, cut off from all and any communications as to what is going

Wow! great news.. congratulations !!!

Just curious..were you getting the error message right up till then?

Mar 2011 - After 5mths denied for lost docs - Attempts to follow up failed. Mar 18 2012 - I-129F sent - No sign of NOA1 but they have banked the check...Jul 24 - Update - USCIS has located our file
Infopass Apt - they sorted through everything - our 2011 and 2012 file keep getting mixed up - getting us a Case# (still waiting) Dec- Infopass Appt- expecting to get a case # in about a week ..Still no Case number
Mar 2013 Infopass - advised file was in a box somewhere,and it would be quicker for us to refile. Life gets in the way... New petition submitted July 2014 .

Awesome! Thanks for updating us all. Not many in this thread can answer your question probably because we're behind you. Good luck!

I'm getting so frustrated! It heartens me to see some of my fellow July filers getting approvals, but at the same time..... The wait is extraordinary and since the new "update" I can't access our case online, and when I call THEY can't access the case either. Is it just lost now? Is it not processing because of 'technical difficulties' from updating a website that didn't even need it?

Moreover, I filed an expedite request in SEPTEMBER for financial hardship (my daughter can't be in daycare because of immune deficiencies, so we're having to pay $1600 a month for in-home care for her, when my fiancee will be staying home with her when he moves here). They outright declined it based on 'not providing enough information - except they didn't ask me to submit evidence. So I re-requested expedite two weeks ago, but since then our case is not accessible so its going to be declined AGAIN.

Meanwhile CSC is 6 weeks out, and phillipine cases are being processed on a 2 week turnaround. At this rate, he won't be here until July of next year. I am so heartbroken tonight dreading another season of holidays without our family being together.

Please tell me approvals are coming soon......

Contacted my congressman. Got NOA2 Yesterday!!!!!

Made a separate post about how everything played out.

Zero doubt in my mind we would have approval without congressional intervention.

February 2010: Met on Facebook
September 27, 2013: Began Dating
December 21, 2013: Met in person for the first time (Two weeks together)
April 5, 2014: Met for the second time (One week together)
April 11, 2014: GOT ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!
June 29, 2014: Celebrated Canada Day and Independence Day together (One week together)

July 11, 2014: Filed all documents with USCIS for K1 Visa
July 17, 2014: NOA1

July 18, 2014: ARN Changed / USCIS check cleared my bank

September 14, 2014: Expedite requested for financial hardship; Declined for lack of evidence

October 17, 2014: He came to visit me in Atlanta for my daughter's surgery (One week together)

November 7, 2014: Expedite requested for a second time; USCIS unable to access my case for updates....

November 12, 2014: Contact my Congressman to request an inquiry into my case status

November 19, 2014: Receive notice that expedite request has been DECLINED

November 21, 2014: USCIS emailed my Congressman to inform him that the expedite has been APPROVED and will be processed.

This completely means that they re-considered their decision only after Congressional Inquiry

November 26, 2014: NOA2

November 26, 2014: Went to Toronto to Spend American Thanksgiving together (4 days together)

December 9, 2014: Shipment to NVC Notice

December 17, 2014: Received at NVC

December 18, 2014: MTL Case Number and Invoice Number Issued

December 20, 2014: Shipped from NVC to Embassy

December 21, 2014: He came for Christmas with my daughters and I (Two weeks together)

December 22, 2014: Montreal Embassy Consulate Received

December 23, 2014: Packet 3 Received via Email

January 6, 2015: Packet 3 Submitted via Email

January 15, 2015: Packet 4 Received via Email

February 19, 2015: Extended visit with me and my girls (6 weeks together)

May 10, 2015: Anticipated Wedding Date
