I-129F November 2016 Filers

[Art786 275]

Hi Everyone, My fiance filed an 1-129F petition that was receive on November 28th.  We included a medical expedite request (my fiance has cancer) which was picked up for review when he called to follow up in January.  Since then we've had no response and have been unable to get through to anyone at USCIS.  I was surprised to see on this thread that November petitioners are being approved already.  Will our expedite request have messed this up?  

 

WHy ??

I'm just concerned it could be stuck in an administrative black hole somewhere - rather than the normal processing queue - as our immigration consultant had mentioned we should know if the expedite was approved or not within a week.  But I'll keep checking here to see other people's progress from our filing date.

Everything is delayed, give some more time

You should get email or text but only if you sign up for it, you will get confirmation in mail in few days .It takes about three weeks for beneficiary to receive email from embassy.  I receive confirmation of approval in email and hard copy in mail about 3 days later . 

Hey everyone!

 

First of all, our case was approved by USCIS (the lovely case status page told us), but we didn't get the e-mail notification yet.

I thought my fiancée (the petitioner) got it, but it was an error, lol (we were talking about different e-mails).

 

So, we're still waiting for any kind of communication from them.

 

 

Art786 I was reading your answer again, and I was wondering...

 

Our situation here (case already approved by USCIS) is that the only e-mail address we have provided so far is the applicant/petitioner's e-mail in the G-1145 form.

As far as we understood, that form is only meant for us to receive the USCIS notifications, so we thought only the petitioner could fill it out.

 

Then, question 1:

Is the G-1145 only meant to receive the USCIS notifications?

(IF NOT, I understand that it could have been possible for me (the beneficiary) to also attach a G-1145...)

 

If the G-1145 is only meant (as we understood) to be used by the USCIS to send notifications... question 2:

 

Given that we only provided the petitioner's e-mail address: how will the embassy contact me (the beneficiary)?

( Will they send an e-mail to the petitioner? Will they just send me a letter by regular mail? )

 

 

Can't wait to read your answers guys!

 

 

May USCIS give you more approvals! and even more in Valentine's day!

Hi, the sponsor should recive all notifications of NOA1 and NOA2  as NVC notification of sending petition to USA embassy within 2-4 weeks of receiving it from  USCIS.When embassy receives application they will contact beneficiary.( that's what paper coppy of NOA2 states ) Beneficiary  contact info. is in  petition. Some people start calling after few days to NVC, after new petition number that should be given to us , but it clearly says on approved  NOA2 to call if NVC notification not receive in mail after 30 days.   That's what I know, posibly someone else know more or have better information. My NOA2 date was February 2 no news from NVC yet.

Good to see they are chipping away at those November 14th cases.  Thanks for continuing to do this even though you have your NOA2!  I am sure other November 14th filers really appreciate it.  My received date is one week later, but it's just nice to see progress.

Thanks!! That unprocessed pile is getting smaller and smaller. Lots of RFEs, unfortunately, but my data suggests most RFE only add 2-3 weeks to the process (from RFE status on the website to final decision on their website).

Not bad, USCIS. Not bad! Lots of RFEs still, but they're cranking away pretty well. Hopefully the RFEs are for good reasons and people rushing to get in before the fee hike or post-election. Lots of RFEs and denials on the early Nov. and Oct filers especially...my guess now is they weren't all just overlooked but had to be looked at more closely.

it's indeed.. but I had to work today after a foot of snow.. even a couple schools were open here today

I'm guessing government jobs have snow days just like the schools.

Thanks for the updates Vogann and Geowrian. It's great for us waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

 

Maybe they will throw extra resources at K1s tomorrow since it's Valentine's day.

Very nice.  Wonder if Jim was one of the five 31Octs.

Thank you Geowrian, I reviewed your report as I do every weekday hoping to be on the approved list, but not today. Today my case was touched and more information is being requested. I will now be anxiously awaiting this letter. I hope to have this sent back to them asap if possible. I wonder if the electronic notification will have any information regarding the specific request so that I can get started on this request.

 

Thanks again,

Guadalupe
