RocksAnne, thanks for the reply! I signed up online at https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/login.jsp and this is what it says "On June 9, 2007, we received this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. "

Signed us up for an account as above (thank you!) but can't get onto our bank account to see the cheque as I am at work! Called hubby and asked him to take a look. Good job he has to get up early because of work!

Married 16th April 2007 - Seattle :)

17th April completing military paperwork (Honeymoon?)

Emma flew back to UK 18th April 2007 :(

Change of name documents arrived for Emma and children

Fedex Em's paper work for I-130 to E in US - 10/05/07

E completed all his paper work - 13/05/07 (I'm impressed!)

Emma had nightmare that all her details were filled out incorrectly and actually spent 6 hours thinking it was real - 13th May !!!!!!

first hiccup - E "out" with work can't get to post office now until 21st May!!!

24th May 2007 - I-130 posted

29th May 2007 - I-130 received at 7am (somebody starts work early!!)

13th June Cheques cleared - one small step but an exciting one!

15th October NOA2 received - 145 days

"On June 8, 2007, we received this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when yours will be done. This case is at our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."

Hello Ladies and Gents,

I sent my wife's K3 to Chicago on June 12. My timeline is updated in my signature. I'll keep everyone posted when I hear from them.

I added you to the table. Also please setup and update your timeline on VJ.

Just a note on the numbers from the back of the cheque, there was about 5 on our chq. You need the one which is 13 digits and start with 3 letters.

Done ours now (mine nad the childrens). Got the following message

"On June 8, 2007, we received this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case.

Sooooo exciting!

Sure is exciting. No NOA1 for me today. Was expecting it since it was mailed on 6/9. Yours says 6/8 so i guess you should get yours a day before mine...

Good news bad news:

Bad news first..... No NOA in the mailbox :(

I can't figure it out, they got it on June 7th, deposited the check on the 11th and it showed up online at the bank on the 12th. I lived in California so at most it is 2 days in the mail. Ufff!

On June 7, 2007, we received this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service.

Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

Anyway, no worries, I get to pick up mi amada esposa at the airport tomorrow night. (That's the good news :D ) And when we get home we will check the mail together and fingers crossed it will be waiting for us.

Now I might be being a bit dim but why are our petitions at the California Service centre? I thought I would get Nebraska (my husband is in Seattle) and the sending the I129f to Chicago.

Any thoughts? Have I missed something re Nebraska.

Oh and no NOA1 as of yesterday. I have a feeling that they use carrier pigeons to deliver our mail :huh:

Yeah...I also live in Cali and the service center is a 20 min drive. Should take 2 days to deliver the mail. I do not think they maied them yet.

I am 3rd in line

Puerco (CSC): On June 7, 2007, we received this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

esmp(NSC): On June 8, 2007, we received this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

G&A(CSC): On June 9, 2007, we received this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Good news bad news:

Bad news first..... No NOA in the mailbox :(

I can't figure it out, they got it on June 7th, deposited the check on the 11th and it showed up online at the bank on the 12th. I lived in California so at most it is 2 days in the mail. Ufff!

On June 7, 2007, we received this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when yours will be done. This case is at our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

Anyway, no worries, I get to pick up mi amada esposa at the airport tomorrow night. (That's the good news :D ) And when we get home we will check the mail together and fingers crossed it will be waiting for us.

Now I might be being a bit dim but why are our petitions at the California Service centre? I thought I would get Nebraska (my husband is in Seattle) and the sending the I129f to Chicago.

Any thoughts? Have I missed something re Nebraska.

Oh and no NOA1 as of yesterday. I have a feeling that they use carrier pigeons to deliver our mail :huh:

Hi Everyone:

Just to tell everyone, my I-130 NOA1 came May 29 (like my timeline said), but there was no "notice date" or "received date" on there.. everything else was on there (case number, address, my name, what I petitioned for).. however, the I-129F had the "notice date" and "received date" (notice date of 6/11, and received of 6/9, considering I sent in I-129F on 6/4).. :unsure:

Hi Guys,

Hope e'one is doing good.

I just wanted to share with you all a small but an important update in regards with my wife's I-129F(K3) application.

Today, 06/15/07, I received my NOA1 for it. More detailed info can be found in my signature and in my timeline.

G&A: Next time whenever you are updating the sheet, I 'd appreciate if can you please update my info/dates. Please feel free to ask me any questions that you may have in case if I m missing anything here.

Lastly, I wish good luck to everyone(including me) here at VJ. Thanks to all for sharing ur info. Moreover, I just wanted to express that this site has really been a great help to me, as I m sure many will attest to the same fact, and I mean not only from the timeline comparison perspective but also psychologically. It helps you go thru this what seems like a long long and yet longer... VISA JOURNEY to be with your loved ones...

In addition, I wanted to express my special thanks to G&A for maintaining the sheet. I am sure he is bz too, just like many of us here, but thanks for taking time out to update and maintain this sheet.

Regards,

Pkewl
