Without the I-129, I'm betting a MINIMUM of 15-18 months before you're cleared to enter the U.S.  My wife and I are at 14.5 months and at least a month out still. And she is at a really fast Embassy in Singapore. NOA1 date of July 10th '18.  I'd highly recommend you file for the I-129 or raise hell with USCIS literally EVERY DAY... Best of luck to you and your spouse! 

Thank you for sharing that, will probably start on the I-129 soon... good luck to you, hopefully not too much longer till you can be together!

My husband shares the same opinion - that filing the I-129F might mess things up or cause further delay. I can’t take it anymore though because looks like the wait for Nebraska keeps getting longer, so we’re going for it! At least we did everything we could. Really hoping this works. 

Filing the I-129f will not mess up your I-130 it only helps. Do not be fooled or misled by others. As, long as your case is not complicated or anything negative things, it should help.

My timeline is this.

I think it's longer for those at Nebraska.

 

A year minimum to be approved for the 1-130. Then two months to get a case number, probably at least two more months to get CC and then, yes, it depends on how busy your embassy is but let's say it's 4-5 months on average to get an interview. I think you blow past 18 months easily and that's even without any RFEs or other issues. I'd be preparing between 18-24 months now to enter the US if you get saddled with Nebraska.

Thanks for your response, this makes me feel hopeful. Many individuals have been telling me that the I-129F does not help but the individuals who have completed the I-129F have gotten positive processing time, thanks again so much.

Wow this is crazy, and awesome, hope they don't close this little secret back door of sorts, especially if I myself get sent to Nebraska...  No one can explain this phenomenon currently?

Many many thanks! Really appreciate the advice. And congratulations! Hoping to file our I-129F by next week! Our I-130 PD is Aug 26, 2019 Nebraska. 

 

Im scheduled to visit my husband for Christmas/New Years. Will be staying for just 3 weeks though bec I need to be back for work. I hope the pending petitions won’t be an issue.

The nvc aos stuff is 🤯

I can't seem to send it all in.

 

[LilyJ 1,258]

Wow I guess they sent off the next batch to NVC! I was told on the phone we were approved on the 19th but the NOA2 in the mail said the 18th, no updates on ours being sent so hopefully we will be in the next batch soon!

Oh, why not?
