My i129f PD is July 19th, 2019 and still waiting too. I called USCIS Customer service and he said that my I-130 was touched on August 30th. Not sure whats going on??  . Tired of seeing same status... 

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

About the police certificate, check with the immigrant’s country. We got my husband’s right after the approval and we found out that they only issue it for 3 months. It will expire by the time we get to the interview and we will have to get a new one. A new one takes 20 calendar days. Not all police certificates are good for 6 months or a year.

Hey guys! please help, we are freaking out...

 

For our I-130 our priority date was 9/14/2018

We got RFE on 9/12/2019

 

We had submitted I-129F with PD 8/28/2019, on the NOA1 we noticed my (beneficiary) birth year was incorrect, but we didn´t do anything as we though the I-129F would get denied.

 

Today they ACCEPTED our I-129F, what does this even mean?? we are seriously about to have a breakdown. 

 

Does anyone have any idea what might happen and what we might do??

 

 

Did you get mail for both? Or you checked online?

Anyone with July I129f still waiting? We are July 31 and calling every week (today called too) and nothing still besides that both the I129f and I130 were touched on August 12, more than a month ago.  I feel like everyone is already passing us up getting approved and we are still waiting for ours

I'm sorry to hear that! What do they mean by touched?

What did you ask to get them to say it's been touched?

on the old uscis website it shows the "last updated" anytime your file gets touched, moved or whatever it should be scanned and supposedly it's updated. 

Update your timeline.

Hopfully you will get case number soon. Have a question. I'm visiting my wife. I want to get police certificate now. Can I do it now? In NVC website said can use it for one year. But still waiting for my case get approve. 

The police certificate lasts for 12 mths.... UNLESS it’s for a country you previously lived in and have not return to reside there, in that case it doesn’t expire... vacation to previous country is ok and doesn’t count unless you knowingly committed an offence whilst on vacation there

On this note, be sure to get the correct police certificate... “for immigration purposes” usually it’s the employment ones that expire sooner than 12 mths... also, prior country ones don’t expire provided you haven’t returned to reside in that country since the date it was obtained

We find out about both (the RFE of the i-130 and the approval of the i-129f through the case tracker app.

Oh wow now this is interesting.... k3 has pushed an RFE.... please keep us updated on this... my PD is 4 months in front of yours and still nothing without the K3

Update! I received the RFE in the mail. And they’re asking for proof of my citizenship which is insane because I sent a copy of my birth certificate. Has anyone heard of this happening before? Them asking for something that was definitely sent? Also I’m not sure what to expect as far as time goes...how long have people said it usually takes after evidence is sent?

Make sure to check with your country, because the 12 months is not automatic. We have checked with our country and they only issue them for 3 months (we found this out after the fact, we wrongly assumed it would be good for 12 months). These are specific to immigration police reports. Always good to check and make sure before believing the 12 months. Just like everything on this website, everything depends on specific experiences with specific countries at specific times.

No idea, they said the last "update" was August 12 but whenever I ask they say they don't know what was done with it when it was "updated"

yeah they lose things all the time I'm afraid. So many people post the same issues of sending and then they get RFE reporting its missing. Very disorganized process. I have seen reports of approval within days after receiving to a few weeks.

Wow that’s crazy. I was expecting something totally different at least that’s all they’re asking for  and everything else was fine. My luck of course out of all the people trying the i129f way they lose something of mine haha but hopefully they won’t take  too long....sending it out tmw!

There was no movement for the approval of i-130 without i-129f last week. I hope and pray this week will be different
