I don't remember seeing more than 2 or 3 approvals in the past 2 weeks for people going for K3 and IR-1/CR-1 visas. Very depressing. I don't know what in the hell they are doing lately but it doesn't seem like they are making much progress.

Wife's visa journey:

03/19/07: Initial mailing of I-129F.

07/07/11: U.S. Citizenship approved and Oath Ceremony!

MIL's visa journey:

07/26/11: Initial mailing of I-130.

05/22/12: Interview passed!

Look at my timeline.

Congratulation!!! So it took 16 days after the last touch on your cases?? I went to Local USCIS office through info pass once again, and the officer told me she spoke to the VSC office and they said something can be expected at the end of this week, and it's already tuesday I found no touch on my case yet...and tomorrow is holiday then only 2 days left... so I guess that was something like sympathy!!!! :crying: :crying:

Quick history

We met on 1 January 2006 while she was traveling in Hawaii. She came back to Hawaii in April 2006 for 3 weeks. We then continued long distance until June 2006 when I went to Oz and proposed. We then traveled around parts of the US together, then I was deployed to Iraq in August 2006. I came to Oz in February 2007 for my R&R leave for 2 and a half weeks and we got married. I then returned back to Iraq.. I'm due to finish my deployment in July.... NOW I KNOW SHE WILL BE THERE :o)

Call USCIS number again and press 4 for RFE line. After that you have to enter your case number and you will be directed automatically to speak with officer from CSC.

I wish you success.

There is no direct number for the California Service Center. It was disconnected a while ago. The 1800 number is the only number to call. Trust me, I have searched everywhere for a direct number and it doesn't exist!! The problem with the 1800 number is that the call operators are usually contract workers who have no knowledge of visas...My only suggestion is to get an infopass appointment. HOwever if you were like me and are overseas, theres nothing you can do except sit tight............Also, everytime you call the 1800 number they record it on your file, so you should try to call as little as possible... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news......

We're all in this together. 3 months is not the longest I've seen. Also, we had the good fortune to apply at a time when they seem to have been overwhelmed - don't forget that a lot of workers are on vacation too.

We should all hang in there.
