that's true.. but it wasn't at my expense.. I received the I-130 NOA1 on 5/29... and applied for the I-129F on 6/4... actually, they told me it was based on the "mailroom date" (official date they receive it in the mailroom)... My priority date was 4/16... :crying: :crying:

Thank you Jenya and I hope this!

I find this information in other chat for you can spped the procces: (remember I from Colombia (Bogota)):

1. Next week, start calling the NVC (603) 334-0700 and listen carefully to the prompts (1 for english 2 for spanish...) there will be a prompt that allows you to speak directly to an operator between 7am and MIDNIGHT Mon-Friday...this is great because you can call when there is less traffic on the lines and get a REAL person. You will want to speak to a human and ask 1) if you case has been recieved 2)if YES, then for a CASE Number (should start BGTXXXXXXXX) 3) the date it will leave NVC to Bogota. The first few times you call they may tell you the standard "it takes 1-2 months to process", but just be polite, say thanks and call back the next day and ask the same. I called every other day for a week until I got my case number and by the next day the case had been forwarded to Bogota!!!

2. In the mean time, begin assembling PK3 docs: DS-2001, DS-230 Part I, a copy of your beneficiary's passport (just the biographical page) and a cover letter (i'll be glad to forward all of this to you if you need it).

3. Once your case has been forwarded to BGT, go to the "TRACK DHL PACKAGE" thread on this same forum and follow the instructions for tracking your package... The NVC will tell you they can't give you a tracking number, but PeterMiami's tip was a sure shot for us.

4. When you confirm through DHL that your case was recieved in Bogota (ours took 2 business days), have your fiance fax the P3 docs to the embassy (see the embassy site for the fax number) and send the HARD COPY by courier - Servientrega - to the consular visa division.

5. This should prompt the P4 - appointment letter with your interview date. The interview cut-off date is between the 16th and 20th of each months and does vary, so if your docs get in before the cut off date, you should have an interview the following month. Now, don't wait for the P4 letter or for a posting on the embassy web site, you will want to CALL the embassy on the following Wednesday and confirm reciept of your case from the NVC and of your PK3 docs and at the same time ask if the appointment date has been issued. I'm still in this phase, so I'll keep you posted on how it goes on Wednesday.

Good Luck For Us! and God Bless Us

Thanks a lot, neenuh. Appreciate it. Power to your words. Lets see what USCIS has in store for me. According to G&A's last updated table, I may get my NOA2 around Nov 8th. So, you may be correct in saying 2nd week of Nov but I will just take it a day at a time, otherwise, disappointment results in too much of an heartache.

Hope things work out really well with your son's approval too.

Good Luck to all :thumbs:

Regards.

thanks pkewl and congratulations on your approval! :)
