Day 47 of the I129f and still nothing so far, so frustrating, don't even know what to think or expect anymore honestly 😕 

Hang in there, Lilly! I am sure you will get your approval any day now.

Hey guys. Do bank statements need to be translated? Or can they stay in the foreign language (French) as long as you can see the name, amount and currency?

We had everything in Spanish translated into English as per the form request. I'd recommend to get them translated to just for peace of mind.

Are the bank statements asked for both petitioner and applicant at NVC stage ?

Why do some submit the I-130, and then the I-129F?

because the I-129 is a requesting asking the Goverment to allow your spouse to moved to the USA to be with you until your I-130 is approved.

There's a theory that submitting the I-129F after the I-130 will trigger a review of your I-130.  Both will be reviewed at the same time. 

 

edit: I say theory because, as far as i know, there's nothing from USCIS stating such. Although there are some pretty good post on VJ about it.

Yes us too, both our I129f and I130 were touched August 12 and nothing since then  Hope that we both hear good news soon..

I got an RFE update today on USCIS site. 65 days after I129F sent. Just wondering what it could be...  🤔

Got a RFE on 9/17/2019. At least the case is moving along :)

After almost one year we got this morning an email "Request for Additional Evidence". It is not really fair we have to wait one year for this. We are waiting the letter to know what exactly they ask for? Somebody with the same problem? How long can take now? What documents they usually ask for in this RFE? Nebraska is becoming my Hotel California.

Hi! I’m sp sorry for what happened. But i guess its a good thing atleast your file was opened. Just send your RFE asap. I hope you get a response of approval within a week or so.

So.... My lawyer doesn’t advise that I file a 129f for a K3 on top of my 130 because I got and IOE number with my PD. Has anyone with an IOE # got a faster process of their I-130 filing a I-129F?
