February Filers!

JandC,

And many blessings to you, as well. Since all three of our petitions are somewhere knee deep in the mass confusion at CSC, I would say the race is on!

Thanks, Nagishkaw. I have been antsy, not that that's going to end now.

I feel bad for being anxious for less than a month when many of you have been waiting two or three. I'm sending positive thoughts out to all of you CSCers.

Woo... happy to recieve my emails confirming the NOA2! Very happy feeling.

Sorry for those still waiting It has to be soon...

Congratulations! I'm very happy for you. :yes:

That's you, Ghanalove, safitu, Gabatcha, abdounjen... I think I'm the only one left in our time frame still waiting.

it's on its way then, I just know it!

Looks like I'm back in the race. Let's get this lap started!

Congrats!!!

Perhaps then someone has lit a fire under CSC!!!

It would be nice if they could do K1's as fast as ( or even close to it) VSC!!

My case doesn't sound like it's going well...

I sent everything off in Mid-January, to the Nebraska center. Got the whole thing sent back 2/4 because I sent a photocopy of the I-129 F and they needed my original signature. So I sent back all the originals with original signatures, to be safe, on 2/5, to the California Service center as per the instructions on the I-797C.

(I'm also worried because I made some errors filling in the blanks on her G-325A - originally I taped paper over them, copied in the right instructions, and the photocopy looked pristine - but when I resubmitted the originals, I took the paper back off, put lines through the mistakes and just re-wrote them and initialed the mistake...I'm scared to death that this fouled everything up.)

I still haven't gotten anything in the mail since 2/5, the USCIS recorded message says it was received 2/9 and that an I-797 was sent. Is that the same as the NOA1? Either way, I haven't received anything. The website also says it was touched on 2/14. Am I doomed? The wedding is planned for October in India and we hoped she could return to the US with me at that time...

It's so weird for me how everyone see's "touches" and so on. Mine still has the exact same message that my approval was sent on March 1st. But I see nothing else.

I just read on the NVC site to give it 3 weeks before calling them to see if they have your I-129F or not. So I guess I get to still just wait. I don't know if it's in the mail or anything

Roll on March 22nd...or better yet, let me hear something sooner!!

mchakko: You should call the USCIS...you will be able to talk to a live person since they said they've sent something that you haven't received. They'll be able to clear it up for you before you have a major freakout.

The biggest problem I saw in your post was the wedding in India. Under the K1, you CANNOT get married outside the US. The most important piece of the fiance visa is that the beneficiary be your fiancee, NOT wife at the point of entry and that you marry in the US within 90 days. If you marry in India, you will be committing fraud, and could jeopardize everything. I know that many people have non-binding ceremonies in the beneficiary's country, but you'd best explain it as an engagement part and/or going away party. If you are legally married, then you need to file a K3, not K1.

Many people save the big wedding for when the beneficiary can travel outside the US.

Craigandkym....once it leaves Vermont, it's out of their system. You won't see any more updated info on that page. From what I understand, the NVC doesn't even enter it into a computer system before sending it on to the embassy.

Hi there

Geeze, new forms? man o man I assume I used an old form. I think we got it off the uscis web site though, I will have to check the date on it.

Good Luck to everyone! We filed Feb 23, sent the form I-29f to texas. I have the Post office showing they received it, but no NOA yet. We also used a money order to speed processing ...I hear now, I could have seen my number when the check was cashed. Dang, now to go check the date on the new forms.

[Bobbie 1]

Ok Life Sucks

I se we used the form that was good until 2/18/07 and filed it on 2/23/07

Maybe all is not lost, we can do the other one and have it ready for when they send the whole freaken thing back....

Geeze.....

I FINALLY received my NOA1 hard copy in the mail today! The notice date was March 5. Now I get to wait for the NOA2 haha.

[Nagishkaw 510]

NealandCari,

It's about time ! You gotta be relieved you finally got the hard copy . Congrats !

[mchakko 0]

I'll remember that and make sure it's more of an engagement ceremony in India then...thanks.

Congrats Nealandcari! Its about time!

[Brian & Elise 0]

I'm getting very frustrated. Elise and I seem to be left behind. We received our NOA on the 16th (it was dated the 13th). Our last touch was February 21st and still no NOA2. And this is via VT! At least I was lucky enough to visit her (I just got back).

If I don't hear anything soon I may reach out to my congressman (though I don't want to "cry wolf" too quickly).

Congrats to all who already received their NOA2s.

-Brian

Brian _and_Elise,

Give it some time . Calling a congressperson should be a last resort. In your case, even if it is VSC , it has only been a month. Every case is different. Try to hang in there , I am sure you will hear something soon.
