October 2017 I-129F Filers, Part II

[Dijana99 25]

I commented on this post about two days ago saying I got an RFE because they wanted my birth certificate again. I sent in the short one and when I talked with my lawyer he said the short one should be fine since in South Dakota you only get one. What do I do? Should I go and get a new birth certificate and how long does it take to get it?

I am happy to see so many october filers :).

 

We are still waiting for ours.  Oct 6th receipt date.

 

How come Oct 16, 17 and 19th getting approved while Oct 2nd are still waiting.

 

Any input please.

If that is the case, tax return of last year will be required......anything you earn count also......

Also depends on the state where you live.

of course tax return of last year are required as well as paystub W2 IF I'M RIGHT.

That's just the way it goes. The whole process has to move forward with the cases that are easy or ready to be approved. There is no rhyme or reason for why the dates move forward, but they wouldn't be on October if we waited for every case on every date to be approved prior to moving on to the next as there are still filers from June, July, August & September waiting too.

so USCIS officers just randomly pick a case from list of cases or what?  Why should June/July/ August cases be in the pending process (ie. not receive RFE), while they process October cases.

 

I mean I thought our case was simple and easy.  No red alerts.  Never been married.  No criminal history. Met couple of times before filing application.

 

I am just trying to learn this process.

No one knows. I'm just relaying the trends that we see over and over and over again from watching how things happen in previous months. There is speculation that it could be background checks that take longer, piles of files on adjudicator's desks who work slower than others, applications that aren't complete or easy to say yes to and so on. It's all a mystery really.

I think they mean out of 169 I-129f applications in the 500 they scanned, there were 20+ approvals among them.

Yea that's what I meant.

 

Out of 500 files scanned. 169 are I-129. 21 of those I-129 were approved or rfe .

 

Hope that clarifies things.

They jump around alot. Can't explain why or how they go about processing files.

Hello everyone! I finally signed up to just happily announce that today we got our case approved. I was very anxious during the past two weeks because my fiancé is from one of the travel banned countries but today we got the approval. We are one of the many Oct 2nd filers. For everybody out there waiting for their approvals, stay very positive after knowing even my complicated case has been approved! 

 

So what is next? When will be the interview day!? How do we get notify when and where is the interview? We have chosen Istanbul as our preferred US consulate for interview since there’s no US embassy in our home country! I hope I will receive the interview details by mail in California as well. I’m afraid the interview letter get lost if the US consulate is sending the letter to the beneficiary address only because there is no reliable shipping service to his home country as well. 

Best of luck to everyone
