Hi everybody, I'm new here.........I'm kind of freaking out about my I-129F, because I seem to be a bit behind most of you. I got my NOA 1 on March 8, it was transferred to California on March 26, touched on April 26, and absolutely nothing since. I'm not as worried about the fact that we haven't been approved, as I am about the fact that it hasn't even been touched for six weeks. Should I be concerned yet? Or is this normal?

Wait, you sent out your I129 the day your I130 got approved???? whats goin on with your I130, you should have been pretty close to getting your visa in the CR1 route.

We sent the I129 in late Feb. or early March, and just happened to get the NOA 1 for the I129 on March 8, the same day that we got our NOA2 for the I130. We would have sent the I129 sooner but we had to save some money to pay the fee. But even so, won't it still be quite a bit longer if we wait to get an interview for the CR1?

I'm glad to see we're not the only ones who haven't had touches for a long time......I was starting to think something was wrong. Does it do any good to call and try to find out what's going on?

Its been 103 days for my I-130 and 91 days for my I-129. :crying:

i am tired of checking my email, uscis website 10 times a day. I AM TAKING A BREAK :dance:

I am so tired that I don't even care when my stupid approval comes at this point. Also, taking a break from visajourney... looking at when others got their approvals isn't helping much... its even more agonizing. wish all you guys the best. :dance:

Now I have email from CRIS saying that they are emailing my I-129F NOA2.

Nothing yet on the I-130. Maybe tomorrow. I am thinking about filing to put the I-130 back in play, since the I-129F is caught in security checks. Two petitions moving toward visa issuance are better than one, right?

5-15-2002 Met, by chance, while I traveled on business

3-15-2005 I-129F
9-18-2005 Visa in hand
11-23-2005 She arrives in USA
1-18-2006 She returns to Russia, engaged but not married

11-10-2006 We got married!

2-12-2007 I-130 sent by Express mail to NSC
2-26-2007 I-129F sent by Express mail to Chicago lock box
6-25-2007 Both NOA2s in hand; notice date 6-15-2007
9-17-2007 K3 visa in hand
11-12-2007 POE Atlanta

8-14-2008 AOS packet sent
9-13-2008 biometrics
1-30-2009 AOS interview

Since you already have a similar experience as you went trhough 129F as K1 once, I decidedd to ask this question to you: if I proceed with 129F K3 after my K3 petition is approved, does it directly sent to consulate abord for further processing?? when you will be(petitioner) charge for Visa fee? as I look at the processing chart.. flow chart didn't mention anything about the step paying visa fee, isn't that necessary before the interview???

thanks

Same here we have no clue to what is going on. Our packets get updated everyday, but still no e-mail, letter, nothing.

And I have come to the conclusion that the employees at the USCIS call center are children of the devil. Not all of them but a majority.

Quick history

We met on 1 January 2006 while she was traveling in Hawaii. She came back to Hawaii in April 2006 for 3 weeks. We then continued long distance until June 2006 when I went to Oz and proposed. We then traveled around parts of the US together, then I was deployed to Iraq in August 2006. I came to Oz in February 2007 for my R&R leave for 2 and a half weeks and we got married. I then returned back to Iraq.. I'm due to finish my deployment in July.... NOW I KNOW SHE WILL BE THERE :o)
