I'm at 121 days....And the only touch that I got was 7 days after they got my app......

Still waiting.... :whistle:

--MIRLA.

Well were comming to the end of the wait hopefully, we are alot further in the process than we were 4 months ago. I hope that either this week or next will be the week of good news. No matter what though we will be with our loved ones. Whether the US goverment sees it fit or whether i move to a third world country, i will be with the one i love.

I am right on the edge of making that decision to move. Living in the Philippines with my wife was actually my 1st choice, but we convinced each other to try the fiance Visa route. Now time has passed, precious time I will never get back, lost memories that I will never have. How much longer will I wait? I am not getting younger and I can't turn the clock back!!

Ken & Marife

Hey Ken and Marife, you must be reading my mind because that is EXACTLY how I feel about the lost time. I realize the time I have missed is only counted in months but like you said, " it is precious time I will never get back".

For me today is the 98th day and you know what?... still nothing, no touch since june 6 (we received our NOA1 in june 1st).

My timeline shows september 25 as the day as NOA2 could possibly be issued :whistle:

But the worst thing is that we´ve all the day in mind that we´ll receive a RFE before, because we sent the wrong size passport photographs :crying: .

So...I don´t believe this month we´ll gonna get it....

We got RFE because I sent the the wrong size of the passport picture :(

Still waiting...

We sent both wrong...(and without our names on the back), we discovered all this tricks here weeks later from our sent to Vermont so.... RFE ¿? :crying:

If you got a RFE Bluesalmon I´m even more sad now..., but on monday I opened a post writing about this and some people told me that sometimes they don´t play so much attention to the size in this part of the journey (some people sent wrong size and they were approved), but they do when you go to the embassy where you´ve to take the correct size when it´s imperative for getting your visa. That´s why we still pray for that...

But whatever, if you sent your RFE on september 5, and I suppose to a specific USCIS person who is on your packet...., it should be done in the next week, because the only thing he has to do is check the new sizes and if are correct (sure they are), then approve your petition. I think it will take longer the RFE to arrives to the USCIS than they to approve it. Good luck body!!! :thumbs:

My guess is its because you did not write your names and sign on the back. very few people send the correct size with I-129f as its difficult to get that size in most countries. If its close and the face is the correct size its not normally a problem.

It looks like it is avaraging around 110 day at the moment for NOA2, but its creeping up more towards 120 for the may folks. i predict most people will be looking at 120 + days soon.

Im not sure if my lawyer wrote our names on the back but he did put them in a zip lock bag with our names and social printed on the front attached to the file. Im sure that is his standard way im not sure. Now all the pics that we took when we were together we labeled and wrote the dates on the back.

Give USCIS a passport-style color photograph ofyourself and a passport-style color photograph of yourfiancé(e), with both photos taken within 30 days of thedate of filing this petition. The photos must have awhite background, be glossy, un-retouched and notmounted. The dimension of the full frontal facialimage of you and your fiancé(e) in separate photosshould be about one inch from your chin to the top ofyour hair in 3/4 frontal view. Using a pencil or feltpen, lightly print the name (and Alien RegistrationNumber, if known) on the back of each photograph.
