K3 JULY FILERS

[nksj 0]

Hey guys I was touched again today. I am a little worried here, is this a good sign or bad? I have read that many touches can also mean the dreaded RFE letter. What do you think?

I am going to see my wife in Chile SOON, are any of you guys traveling during the holidays to see your spouses?

Hi Duende, can you please fill in your timeline? It's hard to know if you're close to approval or what's going on because I can't see the dates for your NOA1 for the I-130 or the I-129. Thanks!

My I-130 was last update 7/11 tht's when the time they issue the receipt notice. My I-129f was last updated 8/22. and still no touches until now. I'm really worried. no touches yet! same here. were on the same boat.check my timeline!

Nothing here yet. Just pending. I think we, June/July filers, are in a BIG pile......the approval dates are creeping closer though..The June 130's are getting approved pretty quickly and the July 129's are starting to pop up. Soon I hope. We've given up completing the process by the first of the year. Remember when we filed in June? 100-120 day processing times? (Laughing) Hopefully soon....

I got a non-call touch a few days ago, it was on the I130 only, so are there any common I-130 RFE's? Since I have the whole package scanned and in PDF I re-reviewed what we sent and it's pretty solid. So I'm not really THAT worried only mild concern.

Let us know if any of you who filed mid June/mid July start hearing anything.

Regards,

David and Nitadyah

Hello nksj, I am very new to this site and Im still learning my way around it. I have added my timeline and I hope this helps. I think our approvals should come very soon. CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND PRAY.

On an other note, I realized today that it's been 145 days from my I-130 Priority Date and it hit me like a ton of bricks. It's not as long as others I realize, but it just made me hugely depressed since I have received no touches since I filed (if only to indicate that my file isn't lost in some giant blackhole). No end is in sight and the wait is unbearable some days. My husband and I simply trade back and forth on lifting each other out of depression through this process. It just irks me that employment based visas get such priority while the politicians give lip service to family values. So much for family values when you're keeping families apart for such horrendously long amounts of time.

Sorry for venting everyone. I'm just sad and angry and I'm just really feeling it today.

Hi Duende - My wife will be spending the New Year with me here in Philippines. Thank God for that! She'll be staying with me for 24 days. I'm still hoping beyond hope that the approval process speeds up and that she can already bring me to the U.S. by the time she goes back...huhuhuhuhu...

Hi YG and Mat - congrats again on your approved I-129F!

Hi All - Let's all hang on in there! Hopefully we get approved by December the latest!

Still thumb twiddling. That processing time seems to keep growing, kind of like minimum social security age. Somehow, by the time i'll receive it i'll have to be 138 in order to claim it...hopefully she'll be here before I'm 118

I realized the dates we filed both our applications are close. We have different service centers and regions where our spouses are though.

Thanks a lot guys...nksj, MariEnMichelle.....and the rest of you.

If you see my timeline, you can see I filed in July. So you guys are close to approvals.

Duende, it's great you are going to Chile...have fun.

I'll be visiting my husband in Mexico for 20 beautiful days.....

Let's keep in touch....

I spent the entire day today sitting in a seminar with USCIS people from CSC. I tried and tried and tried to pry any info from them that I could about what's going on with them internally. Unfortunately, none of them were adjudicators and all I could get was that they were running lean due to having to fund their entire operation. The wait continues...............

FYI: Just did the RFE trick for the first time and spoke to an officer. He said that they were processing I-130s with May 2007 received dates; that likely I would hear by next year (given that I have July 2007 rec'd dates and that the holidays were coming up) regarding the I-130 and I-129F; that the 6 month processing time meant only that an officer would be receiving my file to work on within 6 months, not that I'd have an answer within 6 months; and that they adjudicate the I-130 before the I-129F (K3) because they need to verify the relationship first.

Bah humbug.

Well, I hope they're speedier than he thinks they'll be. I guess we're all going to get a good lesson in patience and letting go through this process.

I called today the USCIS to ask about our petition and said me,they are proceeding petition with file date June 1.

I-130 Approved today... Both I-129F and I-130 was touched yesterday.. Yay!

I-130 Approved today... Both I-129F and I-130 was touched yesterday.. Yay!

CONGRATULATIONS....WE ARE VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. NKSJ was also approved today...it appears like USCIS has finally started approving JULY petitions. Don't worry, I think both of your petitions were approved...it's just that the computer system at USCIS is so bad that lately only the I-130 cases are updated on the website....but not the I-129F (strange, huh).

CONGRATS AGAIN...
