Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?

[maria_n_john 0]

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?

I don't know for sure so sorry in advance for answering. I also sent mine with the I-134 and mine seems to be taking longer too. I have gotten touched Every day since Friday and suspect it is the affidavit of support slowing things down. My roommate that submitted his at the same time I did was approved on the 18th and the only difference between our petitions is I sent mine with the I-134 and he didn't. After I had already sent my packet I read on VJ that it isn't recommended to submit it this early in the process.

Thanks, Tim, and thanks to the others who have replied. If it's true that the I-134 slows things down, there are two lessons: [1] Avoid sending unnecessary material that will confuse morons, and [2] 99% of all attorneys give the rest of them a bad name!

Hahahaha Isn't that the trouth. My ex-wife's attorney comes to mind.

Hey, Tim:

When do you think you'll get your noa2?

Yeah! more and more new approvals. I am sure some folks are approved, but not have updated timelines. If you have not done yet, Please update.

I really hope that soon July filers will be approved.

Hi everyone. I just signed up, but I've been a lurker for the past 5 months or so. I check the USCIS website daily, and nothing has changed in my account since 6/22. So I decided to give the old RFE trick a try today. To my surprise the guy told me that I was approved today! It is kind of strange that the status has not been changed on the USCIS website yet. The customer service guy told me that it was because I was just approved today and I should receive my notice in 1-2 weeks. At least they're moving along with June filers. I wish you all luck!

Congratulations CherryBlossoms and thanks for coming out of hiding to tell us

Last, IMO, for those of you worrying about an RFE......don't worry a lot!!! Very few RFE's are issued this late in the process. Most come soon after the initial I-130 and/or I-129F is sent in and that important first content review and document scan takes place at the front door, so to speak. It is not common to see the RFE this close to NOA-2.......if there is to be a surprise, you will most likely get it during the interview at the Consulate or Embassy. This is also why the "approval" we all speak to at this stage, is really in name only. Remember, everyone of that 10 to 20 % who get blue or white slipped at the interview, were each approved at the NOA-2 stage. And yes, at least we are seeing some very notable movement with the June filers !!! The next week to ten days will bring many more June NOA-2's.

I'm not sure this is strictly true since post July USCIS has been delayed greatly on input and issuing NOA1's. The initial checks USCIS do are on payment, signatures, presence of applicable forms. I doubt they recognise any errors beyond that. I do hope you're right but I would have thought that since the apps gather dust for a couple of months or so between issuing the case number and reaching someone's desk for processing that detailed checks could generate RFE's once the applications are due for final processing. However, I would agree with you that most petitions achieve approval at this stage in the game. Plus, if the pressure to speed up is on, I reckon they could be being less strict about certain aspects people sometimes receive RFE's over.

Anyway, good luck everyone. Let's hope we all get approved without RFE.

I just read through the last 10 pages of this thread - whew! Anyway, I am hoping for an approval this week, but trying not to worry too much since I will be going to see Andrew in only a few days!

But I do have a question: I read somewhere to get four notarized copies of the I-134 for the interview - are four needed? I can't find where I read it, so I'm not sure how I'm coming up with that number.

Thanks and congrats to all those who were approved!

In the guides they recommend three copies; one for yourself, one for your fiance and one for the embassy to keep. Most places it costs the same to notarize 1 or more of the same form, but the extras are in case one get lost.
