I129F April 2017 filers

[A_F 172]

Hi all,

 

Wonderful news this morning! My petition was approved as of Aug 30 (yesterday)! I got an email just a few minutes ago, and the case tracker confirms it (see below)! 

 

Hang in there everyone who is still waiting. I can say it's definitely a lot easier to say from this side of the fence, but please hang in there. @Greenbaum offered some wonderful advice on the kind of action you can take if need be. Thank you everyone for all the support and to @Estibaliz for starting this thread. I'm not sure my fiancee and I would have been able to make it through this without all of you! 

 

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, and I noticed others disussing reaching out to a congressman, but I reached out to my senator yesterday. I spoke with one of his staff members on the immigration team, and within a few hours, he confirmed that he submitted an inquiry on my behalf. I do not know if that worked in my favor or if this is just a coincidence. I will be calling the NVC in roughly 2.5 weeks to give them some extra time because of the holiday weekend.

Am I able to call the doctor and make an appointment now or do you believe I need to wait for a reply from the embassy?

I don't know, since this is country specific. There's a bunch of Canada fillers on the Marchies thread, all of them very nice, so maybe ask them

For what I recall right now, you have to wait until the tracker shows your case as ready and then email the Embassy with packet 3.

Hopefully someone like @gob332,@Marzena & Stephen, @pajobra

can help you out a bit

We called earlier in the week and got the usual spiel. I think we may look to contact a senator towards the end of next week if no news. Not sure my sanity can take much more waiting!  Thanks though and I hope you get your NOA2 soon

Thanks! I'm happy to hear that. That's why this forum is awesome!

Edit: Just checked your timeline. Wishing you a speedy NOA2!

Excellent news! Congratulations! 

On this particular case, I think you contacting your senator had nothing to do with your approval. I'm saying this because we've been seeing lately how the date on the hardcopy usually is a day before what the tracker shows... So that would be a day before you contacted the senator

In any case, no need to thank me for starting the thread. That was me being a VIP (Very Impatient Person) again, so if it hadn't be me, it would have been anyone else.

Congrats again!

So it seems we have a pretty active tracker today. It just went off for a RFE, Russia, April 6th... I'm wondering if that means good news for our fellow @vcpdragon

 

Hoping to see more good news around here today.

 

Btw, it's our third anniversary today Well, at least one of them (the I love you one). LDR and meeting online make that kind of things happen...

Good news!  I hope that it's an easy fix and that your NOA2 is right on the heels of your sending it back in.

Lol, I knew it was you! I could feel the good vibes

Hope it arrives soon and you can take care of it before flying to see your lovely girl 

 

Thank you, @mcs Sure it's an important one, though we are not ones to celebrate anything much. I think we forgot about our meeting in person one this year, and that was while I was visiting
