October 2015 -- I-129F Filers [edited title]

[Mrs U 49]

Hey everyone!

I decided to open this topic so all of us that started this process on October can share this journey together!

Alex and I sent our petition on Sep. 23, arrived on the 25, and got our NOA1 email notification yesterday from the California Service Center!!! Yei!!!

Since we will be doing all of the waiting this month I guess we are better suited for the October filers group!

Hope to hear about other couples experience and help each other in this road we are starting together!

Good luck for all of us!!!

:star: :star:

Hello

We sent our petition on 24th of September, and it was received on the 25th of September as well. Yesterday, we received the email notification (30th of September), which is routed to California Service Centre. We have the same date, hopefully there will be NO problems with processing, and we will get quick response for the approval of our petitions.

Hopefully we will be able to celebrate our NOA2 at the same time.

My VJ timeline estimates we will get the NOA2 between the 24 and the 27th of October.

I have my fingers crossed that CSC keeps up the quick work they have been doing so far.

Please post once you have news and we will do the same!!

We need a lot of prayers. I will definitely post if I get a response Seeing May to August filers seems received their NOA2 in a few weeks only, hopefully we, October filers are the same. Good luck to both of us and the rest of Octobers fillers.

Our I-129F packet was mailed out on Sept. 29th and received today Oct. 1st. I guess that technically makes me an October filer? Thanks for opening this group.

My fiance' and I met online via Facebook in 2012 and soon we started Skyping nearly everyday for the next 2 years. My kids and I adore him and he's seriously become a real part of our family. I finally went to Australia this last August for a few weeks to meet him and his family in person. It was an amazing time. We both fit effortlessly together. We got officially engaged on a beautiful beach near his home and I started gathering the info for the K-1 visa process as soon as I returned to the USA.

I checked and re-checked everything in the packet and I hope I did it all correctly.

E-notification,

Cover letter,

$340.00 Check,

I-129F and the supplemental letter,

2 letters of intent to marry within 90 days, signed by each of us,

Separate signed G-325a with a passport photo of each of us clipped to it. (names written on the back)

I included both of our certificates of divorce with my name change indicated on mine

Copies of all the pages on my passport with my birth certificate.

(The bummer is that my passport never got stamped when I went to Australia and I don't know why)

I was able to salvage one ticket stub that says "Sydney to LA" on it with my name. I'm hoping that is enough. Virgin Australia took my boarding passes on my entering flight. I also have my flight itinerary from the travel agency that includes a receipt for the tickets and the visa waver.

I also included selected pages from about 6 months worth of Skype call logs and chat texts and a print out of various facebook announcements and posts on each other's pages. (highlighted important parts showing engagement, intent to marry, wedding plans, birthdays etc.)

Lastly I included 6 pictures of us together, date and location written on the back, pictures of our engagement rings, (We lost the receipts!) and a letter from my Pastor saying he intends to officiate our wedding as soon as Stephen arrives.

By June 2016, I will be graduating from college, moving into a larger home with my three kids, and hopefully getting married or already be married.

We shall see.

Deep breath and positive thoughts!

Good luck to you all.

OP, I think you have a super idea.,.,.,,wish we had you around when me and my wife, went through immigration in 2012 and 2013.

But, the AOS.,.,.,.and ROC.,.,.,. is certainly no "picnic" I have never put together so much documentation.,.,.,.,.,ROC.,., then the N-400.,.,.and hope I never, ever have anything to do with

USCIS.

Finally, after lurking on this forum for longer than I dare admit, I'm now officially petitioned for! We got our e-notification Oct 1st and heading for CSC.

Good luck to all of us :-)

I can't wait for our NOA1 hard copy to arrive in the mail. I am traveling to visit my Fiancé to Tampa and I would like to take it with me in case they ask for it in the POE.

Oooooh I'm nervous. I hope I get allowed into the US with no problem.

Got our NOA1 e-notification this evening and its headed to CSC. We are hoping for a seamless ride towards the NOA2. VJ predicts that to arrive around October 25th. I'm thinking that sounds too good to be true. I will just hold to the 5-6 month rule and be happy with whatever comes.

I also know that is better for my mental heatlh to consider the 5 to 6 months USCIS estimate, but can't help to be over excited to think that we might get the NOA2 by the end of October.

Patience is the key!
