I called, and the guy said it's too soon, allow two to four weeks or 90 days. I am not goin to try to decode that statment. He is curt but can't say rude. I think I will call next week again, even if I get yelled at I am going to keep calling just to put pressure on CSC to mail em. They can't continue to ignore the calls

Persistance gotto pay.

90 days????

God help us

ApprovalPlease,

Disregard those statements I called everyday and they told me exactly what they are telling you. I think they say that all day long to everyone just keep calling and they will change their robotic statement soon!

Good Luck!

Guys,need a little advice from you,

Since I got approved on 24 aug,I got a touch on 26.(sunday) and nothing since then. Is this normal?

my I 130 and I129F got approved same day,status changed to "approval notice sent".It is ok .

I am worried because of my daughter 's I 130 is untouched and still shows pending.

My husband told me we have to wait by the end of the week ,and he is sure that we'll receive her I130 approval too in snail mail.

However ,I am getting worried.

i am sooooooooo confused. reading the posts from other people it seems that some petitions were forwarded to the local consulate even when nvc kept on saying they don't have the petitions. this has raised my hope and hofeully same thing happened to me. but confusion is how do i check that the consulate has my petition....... if nvc won't confirm this for me.

Hello to All -

I am a new member and quite distressed because my husband and I have got no news from either our I-130 or our I-129F (K3) applications. My husband is a U.S. citizen and I am French. We got married on 19 March. We hired a lawyer who filed our I-130 on 6 April. The NOA for the I-130 was issued on 8 May by the USCIS service centre in California. Our lawyer then filed the I-129F a few days later and the NOA for the I-129F was issued on 16 May by the USCIS service center in Chicago. Since then, we have had no news whatsoever. All we know is that both our applications are pending before the California Service Centre. I check the USCIS website every day and this is becoming really distressing.

At this stage, we are wondering:

a) Whether it is normal that the I-129F has also been transferred to the California Service Centre? We thought that the Missouri Service Centre is handling all K3 application based on the LIFE Act. Did our lawyer make a mistake? Should he have specified on the I-129F application that the I-129F application was in view of a K3 Visa? (not sure he did....)

B) Is it normal that we still have no developments on either fronts? I saw on this message boards that other people got their files approved earlier in August: what can be delaying our file???

c) We got married in the U.S. and the 2 USCIS applications were filed in the U.S. by our lawyer. Do I have to stay abroad to complete the applications at the country of my foreign residence or can either of these be finalised in the U.S?

Any insights would be most gratefully appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I think you would get better information if you post your questions in different thread. Anyhow, all i can tell you is that it is too early for you to receive an approval. as you can see looking at the timelines of people from this thread it took more than 5 months to get an approval. You did not make any mistake... local service centers take care of both I-130 and I-129F(k-3)

most of the approvals that you saw in early August are filers from MARCH. none of may filers have received their approvals from CSC. looking at statistics i would say your petition would get approved last week of Sept. or early october. anyhow, find people who filed in MAY like you on this website and they can provide a support for you. anyhow, good luck.

hello guys. i called uscis california service center and the guy told me that my file is in the mail room..... :angry: its been there for the past 3 weeks. those bastards..why don't they just charge us little bit more so we can pay to get our approved petitions shipped.

Does anyone know if it is normal that my husband (U.S. citizen) and I haven't still heard anything on our I-130 application (NOA 8 May) and I-129F/K3 application (NOA 16 May). This is such a long wait!!!!
