I-129F February 2018 Filer

[madameMaison 204]

So rather than waste my precious days looking at the calendar all day, counting days, I decided to make these days of solitude away from my beloved fiancé  count. I nearly went crazy again today, from missing him dearly. BUT I knew that was regressive behaviour and only turning me into a  bitter 23 year old woman. My fiancé called the USCIS interms of me visiting him in the united states during this process, and the call centre agent said it would not be a big deal. So that's out of the way, happy to know I can enjoy his presence regardless of this NOA2 nightmare .😂 

 

But also started doing something I had never dreamt I'd be able to achieve, which is writing my first book . (The picture is blurry because I'm still protecting the story before I publish it one day 😂🙊)

 

But yes. This is not a brag, but rather an encouragement and reminder that we may not have our beloved ones present with us at the moment, but we DO have something quite precious and priceless : Time. 

Enjoy your time, grow your spirit, your mind and soul. Be kind to yourselves and honour your precious time you have today, tomorrow and forever, regardless of any nightmares, obstacles and dreadful long waits you endure. 🌼 

Peace and love.

True but February approvals have been coming right around 6 months from what I have seen so far. That has been encouraging. Coming down the home stretch but the days and hours just keep getting longer and longer so each day prolonged matters.

Hi friends, my fiance misplaced our NOA1 hard copy (We think he tossed it in the recycling... LOL) - Do you think I need it for the Embassy interview? I have our NOA2 hard copy though

NOA2 will suffice.

LOL I literally yelled at him over the phone for a good 5 minutes because i EMPHASIZED from the very beginning how important it was to keep our documents in a safe place. I guess I feel a little bad...😅

So this might be a dumb question, but here it goes... I've read people talk about the background checks holding cases up. Do they do a background check on petitioner and the foreign fiance? Even if the fiance has never been in the US? Just curious, because I know my background check with the FBI is good because I have done them several times for state licenses..... either way I know we will still waiting awhile, but I am just curious.

Back ground checks are done on both parties. They wanna make sure everything is in order and that there is no criminal history that may effect either of u. 

The more common the surname the longer the checks take.

Don't know where we stand with this cos I have an extremely common surname and Jack has an extremely unusual surname so does that mean we cancel eachother out? 😂

I feel happy about this, there are 2 people with his name + last name in Facebook, my fiance and his dad lol. So at least on his side should be pretty quick, on my side.. meh, not that common surname I guess... There's hope!

Public service announcement:

 

My NOA1 was February 6. I got very dismayed as a saw a flurry of approvals for people with that date and after that date come in last week. I got even more depressed as our VJ timeline date came and went. 

 

This morning, I received an envelope from DHS and opened it to find my NOA2 dated to August 16. I was shocked!!! I had signed up for email and text alerts and had been religiously checking the new and old UCICS websites--none of them ever said that our case had been approved. Even now, the only notification is via snail mail. Not really sure why I was not informed digitally as requested, but maybe other people out there have NOA2s in the mail and don't even know it yet.

 

Good luck!
