It does work for those who both live abroad together.

We have all the documents that we can think of. I went with her to NBI last Friday. She has to come back on Sept 11. She had a HIT. It's lame despite us following directions in putting the previous NBI certificate she had to prevent the HIT. 

 

She has all the original certificates already from me. Copies of my passport bio/stamps. She has all the other PH documents already. I did also leave her with copies of my W-2 and tax transcripts. So anything else that she may need will have to wait till she finishes nvc process and pretty sure they'll let us know what to bring. 

 

We are waiting for a case number. Doubt she would need anything else I covered most of the bases and photos she's going to hand pick 25-30 and make a small book. 

Almost exactly what we have done also... 

 

Welcome back from the Ph! I hope all was hood and trip was awesome...

Definitely it was fun. We did a side trip to Taiwan Singapore and Thailand we did so much sightseeing that we almost gave up in Thailand we were tired we forgot to include like a beach day or two.  

 

Right now we are waiting for the fees to be process. I wasn't expecting a case number for another two weeks. Maybe Manila needs more work who knows. 

 

Then it's time to upload it all. I can't wait unpaid Friday so maybe Monday it will allow us to upload or Tuesday

We haven't been very active on here for a couple months, but I see LOTS of new names. My wife and I just needed to step away a little and get our spirits back up. As you probably know, this process sucks the life out of you. I'd like to wish you all good luck and VERY VERY VERY much encourage you all to contact your political representatives (you'll likely get nowhere, but even 1 good contact is awesome!) over and over over! Be polite but firm and direct with as many facts as possible. Also reach out to both parties, you may be surprised by both of them, good and bad surprised... Get out of your comfort zone and don't be afraid to question your own parties lack of help. Push them just like your oposing political party. These clowns are supposed to be working for us... You'll probably be surprised how little EITHER of them care about us that are trying to do the right and legal things in this process. You'll likely be surprised how little facts they know, if they know anything at all. Assuming you find 1 or 2 that will actually entertain you and not just spout off their normal bla bla bla,,,Vote for me cr&p... I've contacted 20+ and have only had one that would even remotely entertain me and he just happened to be my local congressman so I got SUUUUUPER!!!! lucky. I'd highly recommend talking with his office. Even if you don't agree with ANYTHING else he believes politally, he has a good idea of the reality we are dealing with going through this process. He definitely sympathizes with us and seems to be making an effort, but letting his office know your story couldnt hurt. He is congressman Thomas Massie. I also recommend the same with NSC and raise as much he!! as you can there... Even after this nonsense is over, I'm going to continue to a pain in as many a$$es as possible and hopefully the people following us won't continue getting screwed like we are... Good luck to all and don't be afraid to ruffle some feathers! 👍👍🍻🍻

Very cool! My wife is still in Singapore until after medical and interview and then home to PH for a month or so before coming here. She wants to go to Taiwan next time we both go back that way. Neither of us have been there. I think it only took 2-3 days for payment to post so we could upload. Neither of us were ready though unfortunately. We are finally done and waiting now. 

 

We got a case # very fast also. I guess the only things that have happened fast in this whole BS process...haha

Random tracker-obsession update: Just did a case tracker run - saw movement on cases with PDs up to Aug 27th.  

 

Yes, I like this idea... you should start a thread with priority dates. Mine is June 20th

Awesome you got time though. Yes Taiwan was great. I do want to see the South Western side of it. Taking the high speed train over.  I just stayed in the capital and visited some of the areas north of it. 

 

It wasn't that expensive but I figured my credit card would work in a lot of places but nope it was hit and miss. So I had to use my atm card three times to take cash out. And the fees weren't that bad but my Chase Sapphire doesn't have any foreign transaction fees. So I got bummed about that and the missed points.

August 2018 was at 842 approvals and 11 nvcs when I checked yesterday.

 

The attached zip contains case statuses ( that I know of ) for August 2018.

 

The monthly statuses show the known statuses from July to September as of August 9th.

 

The daily Statuses shows the statuses updated during the last week. Aug 5th to Aug 9th.

 

PS: Notepad (the one which ships with windows) is not the greatest tool to view txt files. I like using notepad++ when working with txt files as it has much better search feature (among other things).

This is great data, how did you obtain so I can also keep track.

How much it cost to file for K3 visa ? Any idea please! My PD date is 9/14/2018, I’m tired of waiting .

K3 application is free, you need to submit it with the I-130 NOA1.

Hello 

I am waiting for my husbands I-130 approval PD November 8, 2018 Nebraska office

I have read that filing for K3 visa form I-129 could help to accelerate the process. Has anybody here done it? Has anybody here heard about it? Thanks for reading. 

I did it...

I-130 NOA1 - June 2019

I-129 NOA1 - August 2019

 

I did not have to pay extra to complete the I-129 and according to the Nebraska website, the processing time is faster. However, everyone has told me that it will not speed up the process.

I don't know what to say. Nobody know how they are working on cases. Thanks 

Yes, I agree... No one knows, seems random

I've seen a person who applied for the I-130 in may/2019 get approved a couple weeks ago, it really just depends 

Wow, that was really fast. I wonder if there were any extenuating circumstances.

Finally got the I-130 approval letter in the mail today. 

I did not get the I-129F denial letter in the mail yet. 

 

Priority Date I-130 August 15 2018

Priority Date I-129F July 12 2019

 

I-130 Approve on August 7 2019

I-129F Denial on August 8 2019

 

The App only shows that the I-129F was denied, I-130 not shown approve on the App yet. 

 

CONGRATS!!!! 

I wonder if the approval date has something to do with the I-129F... Just wondering because I filed my I-129F last month.

For the people at the 300 day+ mark, it's hard to tell if the I-129 really had an effect. Only because they are so close to their estimated time. 

 

My I-130 is at 154 days today. Well under 300. I mailed the I-129F on Saturday 8/10, (hoping for NOA1 today or tomorrow).  If my I-130 is approved shortly after the I-129 is denied, the two might be related. Only USCIS will know for sure.  But at least we'll have another story to share. Even if it doesn't help, I feel better knowing I tried something. 

 

I did it...

I-130 NOA1 - June 2019

I-129 NOA1 - August 2019

And like you, I feel comfortable that I tried everything on my end.
