I-129F April 2016 Filers

[Gonzo71 45]

Anyone know the difference between the dates on the noa1? Like when you get an email/text and check online it gives you the date received. But the hard copy in the mail always has about a 5 day difference. Wondering if that causes confusion when entering dates in the tineline section. For example I put my timeline as a May filer cause my noa1 hard copy says May 3rd. But I received email/text on April 29th. And on that day when I checked online it said "received" April 29th. But I still think I am a May filer. Not a big deal but so bored I figured I would ask a question to keep me on my toes. Lol

The date for your NOA1 is the one on the receipt itself. That's the day it got approved to be sent for processing. Usually they email/text the next day which causes a lot of confusion for people.

Always enter the date on your NOA1 for your timeline which is May 3rd for you. The receive date is just the date they physically received the application.

Hope that helps

I just want to share my story..We're also April filers. As you can see from my signature we're just waiting for our NOA2 this june. Just 2 days ago he told me he met someone else. I was dumbstruck because I never even suspected. We were so happy. We talk everyday and he was so excited to see me after almost 6 mos. of not seeing each other. He told me a week or so ago that he's been having anxieties and depression about things in his life one of which is missing me. I took it as a reassurance that yes this guy loves me and couldnt wait to see me again. And when we finally do see each other it will both the best day of our lives. We would talk about him getting atleast a week off from work when he picks me up from the airport so we could spend time together. We've already talked about getting a house together..our wedding(i just wanted to elope then wait 2 years to have a ceremony with our friends and family) We were doing great or atleast I thought I was. When he told me that he met someone else he told me that he felt being trapped that why we only filed for a petition is just i could be with him. LDR is never easy and unfortunately for some of us the only way to be together is that..to get married. I understand that he's not ready and i think it was my fault too that tried to make it see things my way. I tried to talk him.out of the decision of filing for k1 many times because I know he's not ready. But after a few more talks..he said all he wanted was me. He wants a future with me. He even stood up to his bestfriend for the first time, who was oppposed to the idea just because he said it's too soon. I was proud of him that day. Because he's choosing me. But i was so wrong. I love him so much..too much i was blindsided about the reality of things. That people change and feelings change. Hours before he dropped the bomb on me..he even told me he was praying for me to return to him and that he couldnt wait to see me. And just like that..poof! My world shattered.

Im sharing my story because i want all of you to know i envy you all. Now..all you have to do is wait maybe a little longer than you should. But atleast you're all sure that at the end of this long journey..you will be reunited with the love of your life..you will be able to hold their hand again..kiss them..hold them before you go to sleep and tell them goodnight..i would never have that. So be patient and I hope all the best for all of you.

I have never heard of anyone needing it in the future. Hopefully you will be ok

Oh good to know. Such a relief. Thank you!

[melonshake 24]

I'm happy to finally see a new month get an approval. Hopefully we will start getting NOA2's in about a month. Good luck everyone.

hi Backpackers! I am following your timeline because we have the same notice dates! And both from PH too!

[melonshake 24]

I was reading the march thread and it's sad that nobody or most haven't received their noa2s yet, meaning, ours might also get delayed but every case is different so I hope everything goes fast soon for everyone! I always try to stay away from vj so I won't get stressed waiting but it's so tempting to check sometimes! Hahaha. Waiting sucks!

Sounds good. Best of luck to you. I'll update my timeline as soon as I hear anything. It's good to know there are others fighting the same battles. Distance, time zones, waiting, etc.

[LadieGrace 21]

Let's all pray that our NOA2 will be there soon. Every case is different. Let's all pray hard for an approval. Good luck to everyone!

Hi everyone! I received my NOA1 April 4th. Our case was transferred from Texas to California. I wish everyone good luck with their process!

Thats not a transfer just cause it went to California. It was going there anyways. Texas is just reception. U can update ur timeline to say California and get rid of the "transfer" to get more accurate dates.

[simaysimon 30]

Ohh okay thanks i did not know that... I was going with it just bc i got the email saying that it was transferred. Thanks anyways
