Yep, right on, but let me add Business First, engaged people next, families LAST. Got to love the gov't's family values.
The key word here is values. We as a nation are loosing the core values that made us what we are today. Just like the Roman empire we will fall under the weight of our own wealth and immorality. Bringing spouses or families together is LOW priority with our government. Business FIRST - Families LAST !!!!

So very true........ :crying:

even before business... they value the holders of H1B and H1 visa. Just recently a family friend who is here on a H visa went back to India and got married to a girl from there. She was able to come with him within 2 months. USCIS explain that to meeee.......... :angry:

So true... I have a couple of H1 friends/co-workers who went to India and practically came back WITH their wives in a couple of weeks after they got married there.. As I said I m really really happy for them... As a matter of fact I am real good friends with all of 'em and in reality its NOT their fault. I do understand that they do that since they CAN. My gripe is why CANT I, as a US Citizen, do/follow the same procedure so that my wife can also be here like theirs... I feel so sad, cheated and hurt over this matter... lets try to forget it.. I m not goin to ruin my day over something I DONT have control over... but Oh yes I M SO MAD :angry:

Tc and gluck to e'one.. I hope to see some NOA2s this week.. may provide some solace and consolation...

I've finally decided I'm going to try calling to see if I can find out anything.........which number should I call? Just the customer service # on the USCIS website? My petition is at CSC.....

Well, I called, and the girl I got was actually really friendly and helpful. As usual, she told me it was still pending, but she did check to see if she could find anything else, then told me that they're processing petitions with a date of Feb. 1 right now. Who knows if that's accurate or not, but it's better than what is listed on the website right now for CSC processing times.

I just looked in IMMIGRATION TIMELINES --> VIEW K3 VISAS...it shows a chart and I narrowed it down to only cases at CSC. I had the chart show me I-129F NOA1 dates from most recent to oldest. It looks like just about everyone with an NOA1 date up to March 6, 2007 has received their NOA2 by now. You would think that those of us with March 2007 NOA1 dates on our I-129F's should be hearing something pretty soon...at absolute worst, by the end of August. Let's hope!!! I'm going crazy here without my Peruvian Princess!
