Ooops sorry, I misunderstood that. And unfortunately you are right about airfares being expensive for the holidays. Specially because this process makes difficult to plan ahead and buy tickets in advance 

Yes the flight get high during that time of year and then get cheaper.

Not to b a poopyhead,

If it 7 months, there wont b any xmas weddings, with cfo, medical and interview, i was hoping to get my fiance over the holidays, but the longer this takes the more unaffordable the airfare becomes

 

Nothing we can do about it tho

 

7 months from Noa1  May-Dec. hopefully before xmas

I wanted to say thanks to you guys, as I have been lurking in your I-129F April forum mostly - read it multiple times a day - and here, even though I do not quite belong here. I filed an I-130 at the end of April (Received date of April 26/Notice date of May 1) and filed an I-129F | K3 at mid-May (Received date of May 12/Notice date of May 16) as we got married in Russia. We were using your guys' enthusiasm and positive energy to manage through this frustrating time-period of open ended approval date together with my wonderful wife. There are only a few K3 applications on the entire site, and there was 1 in my timeline vicinity, therefore the timeline estimate does not even work.... Additionally, I could not track the status of I-130 online either until Sept 5 = case was not found, but I could track the I-129F, I was banking on getting that approved first based on what I saw happening.

 

So, here came the surprise - no notification, no status update online (still pending), but this morning I opened my mailbox and I found a single mail - it was the I-797 NOA2 for the I-130 petition | APPROVED on Sept 1. SRC*****41577 in 123 DAYS.

 

What an awesome Saturday present! Of course, now comes the NVC and stuff, but at least from here, the process is transparent and predictable.

 

This came in 2 months faster than current statistics, therefore those of you who are waiting, there is a chance that it will go faster. It is easier said than done, but hang in there, it is a wonderful feeling when you finally get what you want and deserve.

 

Last but not least, it seems that at least the Texas Service Center is working more or less okay.

 

Thanks again for the opportunity and wish you an expeditious approval of your case!

 

P.S. My timeline is updated.

It could be possible that the website is under maintenance. They do it sometimes

I think you're good if you planned February.. plenty of time!

We, on the hand lol, were planning to have it in December

 

When we filed in late April, our goal was me being in the US for thanksgiving.. But now, to be honest, I'm hoping for the holidays  

but we never know, after NOA2, the process goes really fast in Brazil, less than a month to have the visa on hands.
