I went through the process with my ex-wife in Kiev in 2010. Absolutely painless if you don't have any huge red flags...

Our red flags are facts of life and our past. Met in Ukraine in 80s, dated in early 90s, split due to ambitions, career aspirations and age gap of 17 years. He moved to the US, naturalized, married and divorced 3 years ago. I married, had kids, my marriage failed and I moved to Kiev 3 years ago too. He accidentally discovered that I am living in separation and discussing divorce, custody and property issues with my then still husband, got my phone from my mom and called in November. We immediately felt that sparkle again and spent Christmas together in Ukraine, with my mom and even kids. Then having everything settled amicably due to long and painful discussions with my ex, I filed for divorce and had it finalized in March. We went on vacation with my younger kid in May, then we spent all June collating stuff and filed. I wish we could change things but we can't. I am late 40s, him early 60s, now we know how to handle our ambitions and would like not to waste time. Hope the IO will get the situation as it is and not be judgemental

Hi All,

USCIS received my i129f package on 6/29/2018 and approved it on 7/29/2018. I just received the i797 in the mail today (the status did not update on the website yet). I am petitioning to bring my Cuban fiancee to the U.S., and I sent a very much front-loaded and well organized accordion folder as my i129f package. This was sent to the California Service Center and somehow got approved in one month's time- not sure if it was purely luck, or if the very thorough and organized nature of the submission helped. Just figured I'd post here to inspire some hope that the 5-7 month timeline might be shorter than you expect! 

That is a amazing!!! Congrats!! I front loaded but not to Affidavit of Support level. That is amazing, congratulations, many blessings :) Thank you for your encouragement!

Is i797 the NOA1? If it is, it's just telling you that they received your Application but that is not the approval of the Application yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are wrong :)

 

It is 100% NOA2. I have already received NOA1. This letter states that the petition has been approved (not just received like NOA1), and it specifically states “The USCIS has completed all action, further inquiries should be directed to the NVC.”

Great for you then! I was just in a notion that you just received your i797 "today" as you have it wirtten up there. But that's really great you were approved way early than what's within timeline process nowadays! Good luck

There is no update on my case on what you've listed as "Old site"- it still only says the the petition was received.

"New site" shows that my case has been approved.

Old site has been dead for over a month now. Can only use new site.
