How long to get a letter? :crying:

I hope the letter comes soon, but I imagine that even if it arrives tomorrow it is going to feel like it took ages.

Wish I could say something to make you feel better....but I know I'll flip if we get an RFE....and I'll probably flip again when I find out it is something simple and stupid! Near to 5 months of waiting and you're already antsy....getting an REF now just stinks!

Sorry :(

07/16/07 posted I-129f

07/20/07 confirmed delivered by US Postal Service

8/23/07 No NOA1 !!!!

8/23/07 phoned USCIS (told they can't help until after 90 days)

8/23/07 contacted bank to get copy of Cx check...illegable...noc WAC#

tried for weeks to get actual check....not possible, had to wait the 90 days for info from USCIS

10/17/07 Phoned USCIS, got thru (!), got WAC number and NOA1 date!!!!

07/26/07 NOA1 (never recieved hard copy, was promised a copy would be sent)

11/01/07 Ordered copy of "long form" UK B.C.

11/05/07 Recieved B.C. (Wish USCIS was that fast!)

11/09/07 Submitted request for UK police records

12/04/07 APPROVED By USCIS NOA2 letter sent (or so they claim)

12/15/07 Police certificate recieved

12/28/07 Called NVC, not in system

01/04/08 petition forwarded to London

01/12/08 packet 3 received *rubs eye in disbelief* Speed and efficiency, can it be?

01/18/08 HARD COPY OF NOA2 ARRIVED...seems the snail made a wrong turn somewhere.

01/28/08 Returned packet 3 to London Embassy

02/12/08 Medical completed...no problem.

02/13/08 Packet 4 received from London Embassy

03/03/08 Embassy Interview

03/06/08 Visa Arrived....Lovely to finally see it even if it is a bit drab...after 8 month you think they'd have sprung for some gold foil or at least a COLOR photo?

TODAY...he's here! He's in the US! Hurrah!

a-jeanne - I am so sorry. I can't imagine the stress you must be feeling. I am sure its something simple and will get straightened out quickly. the letter will probably come before 15 days - they always give long estimates to cover their behinds. at least once you know what's missing and get it back to them it is my understanding that they process it right away. have faith girl - an a glass of wine!

Congrats to all the other approvals!!!!

I am with Debz and still waiting for my petition to get to NVC. today is 2 weeks since the approval so I know it could still be a bit. I just check with NVC every day or two anyway because it can't hurt! Just hoping the day that they say 'we do have your petition and it has been forwarded to the embassy' comes soon!!!!

@ jeanne: i'm sorry, i can imagine how much that sucks!

@ deb & sara: they only waited for a few more europeans to get approved and they will send it to NVC monday :) :) (POSITIVE THOUGHTS)

or, they send them twice a month, meaning monday would be day, too :dance: :dance:

i'm so full of positive thoughts, i feel as if i was in disneyworld!!!!!

People how do you use the RFE trick, even this USCIS rep guy I spoke with told me they do not have the capability to transfer anyone to service center which I told him its untrue, but if this RFE trick has worked for you just let me know how ya did it. Want to hear something substantial or concrete or maybe a touch on my case since I 'm filing as a divorced petitioner. I 'm kinda concern that this might be slowing my case down :help:

thanks

Lot of these approvals are giving me hope and at the same time concerns about my status. :innocent:

GRATZ GRATZ GRATZ for all the tons of approvees!!! I can't believe how quickly all that happened!!!!

WE'RE APPROVED! Eeee! :dance::goofy:

:D:D:D:DCongratulations! :D:D:D:D

Wow, a lot of action yesterday! It Kind of scared me, but I just screwed up the courage to check USCIS.....and yup, I found good old July 26 :angry:

Is that the date you see when you log in? or the date you see when you click on your case number? If it is the former then I have the exact same date ;)

A-jeanne - it will be ok - it is hard to think that right now but it will all work out ok - I am sure it is something really simple that can be easily rectified :)

Debz - I think I mentioned before but would it be worth adding a total under the days from Rec-NOA2 for both CSC and VSC to show the average days taken to get approved?

Hello all,

We have been following this thread for the last few moths while patiently waiting for the USCIS to make a decision about our case. We have not made any posts here, but we have appreciated reading everyone's stories and updates knowing that others are expereincing the same feelings. We unfortunately did not find this web site until after submittiing our K1 application back in July, and we were concerned that we may receive an RFE. Well, on my birthday, we found out that our petition was approved :dance: Thank you USCIS for the best birthday present ever! The first step in the long journey has now been completed. We would like to express our gratitude to all the members who have shared their stories and experiences. You have made the journey more bearable. We offer our encouragement to those who are still waiting. Stay strong in your love (L)

Al and Chay

Coolio!! I think that will be really useful Debz - thanks so much for all your hard work on the spreadsheet :)

Will hopefully get back on VJ later but puter/internet being really evil - Jeremy has managed to do something to let me use IE to get on but I need to reboot and see how things go :D

If I don't make it back on I am expecting to see another million approvals including mine!!!

Should I get excited that my VJ date has been steadily moving in a good direction? Or is it a fluke, do you think? Now I'm at "Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated as early as December 14, 2007"
