I-129F June Filers

Timeline

The whole USCIS thing stinks. People who submitted packages or whose packages were received after mine are getting NOA2s (not that I begrudge them THEIR happiness, but there ought to be more happiness to go around). Furthermore, my call last week (through the b*tch screener to the very nice Immigration officer) has NOT resulted in a touch.

The fiancee says that her family and friends all keep asking her when our papers will be approved. I am out of excuses and "stalling" tactics.

Other item: An immigration attorney to whom I'd spoken recommended that I send in the I-134 (or whatever the "financial support" package is) along with the original I-129F. I did this. Two questions: [1] Could this be slowing down the processing of my I-129F? [2] Will I have to resubmit a fresh I-134 package during the next step of the paperwork process, or can I simply send a notarized affidavit to say that the finances are materially the same as they were in May?

If you're merely speculating about the second question, please refrain from answering; if you know for sure, please answer.

I apologize to everyone for being such a grouch, but reading the VJ forums invariably makes me feel infuriated and depressed about the situation.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Congratulation for those who are approved. Yeah more and more approvals. I really hope that those who have been waiting for over 5 months to be approved right away. It is really retarded to wait that long since we are apart from love ones. It is not like student visa or working visa process. We are all waiting for our life partners to be together. It is really really serious and painful and this takes super long.

I totally agree with you, it is really crazy to just wait for an approval that takes months, and then wait for it to transfer to NVC and then the embassy etc... it is such a long long journey!! :wacko:

:( I just called CSC to find out if my paperwork has been sent to NVC yet (I called NVC earlier today and it had not been rec'd). I told her that although I'd received my NOA2 on 10/22..dated 10/18, the website had not been updated. She looked up my case number and said that I had in fact been approved, but my paperwork can remain in the mail staging area for up to 60 days and that NVC knows they're behind and will extend the dates if necessary. She said they wait and send out large crates at a time and that when the next crate was full, it'd probably be sent out. She was very pleasant, but said that she has no other information that she could give me, but I could call to check on it any time.

Looks like another long frustrating wait. :(

That is sad...because, first we mailed our petitions to Nebraska (NSC). There we waited for them to fill a crate too. Then they sent to it California (CSC). Delaying paperwork 2 weeks. We can only hope for the best...for the remainder of the journey!!!! :( Good Luck to us all!!!!

I just went through the whole menu the first time (back in June) and at the end slected to speak to a customer service rep. Today I selected for info on approvals and verified my case number and slected to speak to a customer service rep. I have the info for calling in using RFE, but I've never used it.
