January 2018 Filers

[SafeTravels 42]

Petitioner here! I mailed out our i129f on December 29th to the TSC. They cashed our check and sent our email notification on January 4th that it arrived and was being routed to the CSC. Then a few days later I got my paper NOA1 copy in the mail from CSC! Good to know that our petition made it safe and sound, now just have to find the patience for NOA2!

Hi!

 

1 thing to clarify, you filed to the lockbox so it's not transferred. When you put it in your timeline don't put it as a transfer so you won't get wrong estimations.

 

all k1s other than some that need criminal background checks because of DV goes to  CSC.

 

annnd good luck  welcome to the wait

LOL look, my magic 8 ball is telling me that most of us have been waiting 6-8 months since we filed just for our second notification.

 

Good luck to you and your source.

O..K.....

 

so they're going to make a huge run of 6 months worth of applications which are approximately 30000 cases in 4 months? And they took 2 months to barely finish May or any month for that matter... 

 

Not that I wouldn't want it, that will be interesting to watch...

 

I'll get my popcorn ready!

Probably this is a first ever on this forum that someone told me to stay positive.( I have no idea about why the humble part came with it.)

I've been following the May, June and July filers threads almost since I signed up - you guys really have had it rough! Same for August and September.

 

It seems like the delay suddenly came out of nowhere, which likely made it a lot harder and I'm really sorry that it happened. On a slightly more selfish note it's shown me that while I can hope for an early October POE, there's a good chance it won't happen, and not to get my hopes up too much.

 

I think reading past threads will at least prepare us for a longer wait so it might not be quite as frustrating for us as obviously the surprise extra 80 days has been for some!

 

Also Naes - THANK YOU for being so positive through all those threads and so helpful! It's nice to see when others are down and depressed about the growing timelines. <3

You know I love sarcasm... and I wish it is sarcasm.... if not, I hope I'll eat my words..

Because January having it in 4 months would mean they'll go around 7000 cases per month! And that would mean I will get my noa 2 next month!

cause seriously I'd rather have my noa2 than being right...

Hello all! I'm in the running with all of you, to all the best of luck! I submitted my I-129F and it was delivered to the Texas Lockbox the morning of January 11, 2018. 

 

Two of my best friends went through this process about two years ago, both Feb 2016 filers. They both fetched their fiance's in July of 2016. I was hoping for a similar timeline, but from what I'm seeing it may be a while longer. 

 

Go us!
