no consolemaster..i haven't gotten my approval. i wish I did though. Its been more than 4 months... i am scared. do you have any suggestions on what i should do.

[Alan01 0]

neel06.. i feel your pain and how scared are you now.. i mean some, but not all people that have filed after you have gotten their approvals already.. i would feel the same way too.. on july 12 i'll turn 3 months in the waiting.. and i know yours is over 4 months.. and i am scared too because the way they process this whole thing..i mean i think it should be done by first come first serve basis..like whoever filed first..they should get it in order.. unless there are RFEs.. it's not really fair when someone filed later than you and get theirs first..after all we all have paid the same fees.. and by the end of the month to file an I-129F will cost $455.. and the sad part is..even with the SO MUCH INCREASE IN FEES.. the processing speed and wait will still be the same..It won't be a surprise that the time of waiting will be cut in half with the increase in fees..

true! i don't see any good reason why they are increasing the fees when they are delaying the process... soooo frustrating!

and by the way, we pay whatever fees there is on the spot... same day we are asked to pay... soooooooooooooooooooooo sad!

Thanks for giving me the 1 800-number and the code to go through, but I am afraid to call. I called last week twice and nobody could help me...maybe its not good to call to often. I am waiting here also, like most of you. 99 days already. I had my NOA 1 in march 29 , was touched at april 2 and that is all. I wish I could find out , whats going on, like all of us

USCIS has to be one of the worst thing i had to deal with in my life.

If they are charging us so much for the applications, why can't they make it little more convenient for us.

I filed my I-130 in Feb and didn't realize that K3 Visa existed for spouse for two months.

If i had filed for K3 Visa right after i received my NOA1 for I-130 in Feb then i wouldn't be waiting here for my approval.

I guess god has other plans for my wife while she is in india waiting for approval.

PLEASE GOT JUST APPROVE NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one else will understand your pain better than me, I was patient for 9 months(September 2006 to Jun 2006) and have seen all of my fellow applicant along with most of the 2006 applicant got approved...and wrote so many letters to the USCIS, senators, congressman..... USCIS at Vermont never listen to any of these as long as the processing date was showing March 12 2006, June 18 it changed to directly November 02 2006, and I started begging again....then they have realized ####### they did....and finally approved my I-130 on July 3... Now The NVC is one more obstacle to pass...I regret I didn't file I-129F at the beginning (September 2006). However, I never thought it would take 296 days in order to be approved....any way neel I still think your case will not be like mine and you will be approved soon...keep hope... but do not delay to take necessary steps...like seeking help of congressman and senators while it's going beyond the processing date... I am happy for people who get approval quicker than anybody else, but hate the job of service Center as they acted unfairly with the applicants who filed earlier...this is intolerable...

Would our senators take a special interest in helping us if we donate say a coupla hundred to their election fund?

[Niels Bohr 72]

This sucks. Take a break from Visajourney.com and work two jobs. That's my suggestion.

Isn't it easy to preach once your process is done

Your time will come, and you too, will feel relieved. I'm sorry. That's what I did. I kind of removed myself from the immigration procedures for awhile and take on a part time job aside from my professional engineering job.

I was very upset just like you. I called the RFE help line to no availability. The person on the phone was no help. In fact, I called three times and again, no help. I am only trying to comfort you guys. FIGHTO!!! (Fighto, in Japanese, is an expression to tell the listener not the give up and keep moving forward.)

Please everybody hang in there....it is so difficult already, lets support each other. I feel sick already...check several times during the night, if I have an approval. Have 9 hours time difference.

Hang in there everyone! We still havent heard anything either....were stuck at VSC... Ive called twice using the RFE trick.. the first time the woman looked up the info and said I should hear something within 60 days...not much help but at least she looked...the second time, a week later, the woman wouldnt look at anything and said they dont give out info over the phone..

I do crafts, mostly scrapbooking, and Ive just been keeping busy with that lately...

I dont know whats going on, why its taking so long for any of us.. I will wait until the end of next week and if nothing has changed..I will be contacting my local congressman..not sure what he will do for me though...

good luck to everyone!
