K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresConfused about NOIR Decision
Hi Missy,

Yes, it is good to hear from you again. How are you doing?

My K3 is the one that ended up at the embassy per my request. They sent it back because they claim his mother said we were not married which was not the truth. She didn't answer any questions besides she was my husband's mother and that he lived with her. My mother-in-law asked her several times who she was and why was she asking about her son's personal business and she would never answer her. Just kept telling her to answer the questions, so she refused to answer any more. The investigator decided she would lie and say she told her we were not married. They said neighbors didn't know anything about us being married, but of course, they wouldn't, we didn't get married in Lagos, we got married in Abuja, so they wouldn't have knowledge about our marriage. They completely left out his youngest brother who also was interviewed and did tell her that he was aware of our marriage and who I was. Interestingly, that was left out completely. They said my husband told them that he paid for all my travel to Nigeria but knew little detail about my income. He was never asked any details about my income. He was only asked what I did for a living and he told them a medical transcriptionist which is correct. Lastly, they said I didn't provide an affidavit of support which I did. This is supposed to be asked for before they interview and he said they never did ask for it at any time before or after the interview. When he told me that, it gave me the impression that they had every intention of denying the visa before he was ever interviewed, so I made sure I kept a written record of what questions were asked of him and the answers he gave, and by the way he answered all questions he was asked 100% correct. I also kept record of the name of the fraud investigator who interviewed me along with all emails we wrote to each other a month after the interview. It has all come quite in handy as her own words are going to bite her in the butt as I turned in all the emails that she wrote to me lying to me about different things along with the fact that she made the statement that her job was to show me that my husband was scamming me which I thought very inappropriate.

Actually, I called USCIS this morning. What I was told was the Notice of Decision on the I-129F is them signing off of that because no more work will be done on the K3 because it is beyond its validity. The NVC returned the I-130 which has not been processed at the NVC because of the return of the K3 for possible revocation. It is now sitting on a reviewer's desk waiting to be reviewed and I am to wait until they make a decision on it. They have 60 days from the day they received my evidence which is July 30 when case processing resumed which would be September 30. Of course, I was also told that I am calling too soon. Now I have my answer and I thank the couple of people who tried to help. Your help is really appreciated!

Thanks,

Deb

Hello, Good to see you , but not on these turms.

I do not have any good answer for you. But like the above poster said, will you run into the same problems with the CR1 interview and AP information?

What were the exact reasons for the denail. I know because they think the marriage was fraud, but did they give reason and proof?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresConfused about NOIR Decision
My husband was interviewed for K3 visa back in Aug of 2008. We were put in AP for background investigation. He was re-interviewed in Dec. 2008 and was told that our petition would be sent back for possible revocation. Our petition made it back in March 2009 and I was presented with a NOIR at the beginning of July. I sent back the evidence required to dispute consular findings on July 27. Received email notice that the case processing had resumed on July 30, 2009. I received a notice of decision in the mail today that really confuses me.

It says, " This notice is in reference to the Form I-239F, petition for an Alien Fiance, filed for ************ pursuant to section 101(a) (15) (K) of the Immigrationand Nationality Act, as amended. The petition was approved on January 9, 2008, and was forwarded abroad to a United States Embassy/Consulate with a validity period of four months. Subsequently, the petition has been returned to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services with a finding that the beneficiary was not issued the requested K3 visa. Since the period of validity has now expired, the petition will not be revalidated. Therefore, in accordance with 8 CFR 214.2 (k) (5), all USCIS action on this petition is concluded as of the date of this notice. However, the petitioner may choose to file a new Form I-129F, Petition for an Alien Fiance (e) for the beneficiary."

First of all, I have an approved I-130 petition that was approved on the same day as the K3. Secondary, we have been married for over two years, so I could not reapply for a new I-129F for both reasons. Thirdly, I never received a letter stating that it was revoked or was reaffirmed, so I am not sure what to do. My question is can I now push the approved I-130 to the NVC?

Thanks so much,

Deb

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNigerian Filers
Thanks Osakeme for the welcome. I received an RFE on Dec. 12 and sent it back already. They have resumed working our petition as of Jan. 7. I am kind of worried though because the I-130 was touched on Jan. 7 and Jan. 8, but not since then, and they haven't touched my I-129F since the beginning of December. If they have resumed working on our petition (which happens to be way out of their processing times), why did they stop working on it as of yesterday???? I am worried that they have moved on to other people's petitions and decided to push mine to the side for now. I was under the impression that once they receive the RFE that there would be a fairly quick approval after that. Has anyone else had experience with RFEs and if so, how long did it take from the time they said they resumed your case to your approval???

Thanks for the help,

Deb

I can't speak for everyone else, but I can speak for myself. Any comment I made here about Galaxy was not based on assumptions, but on my own personal experience with him on VJ and outside of VJ. My husband is a Nigerian and I have been with him for four years in addition to having myriads of Nigerian friends and I personally have never heard any of them refer to their country men using the words "I" or "My". I have, however, heard them refer to their fellow countrymen as "brother". The only mixup I have seen them have is with regards to gender e.g., using he for a woman and she for a man.

I had one conversation with him outside of VJ where he was asking for help for his interview of which I obliged. After I gave him the help, he wanted to continue by asking personal inappropriate questions. To say the least, I felt uncomfortable and I referred him to my husband for any further help. Not only this, but Galaxy caused the near destruction of the marriage of close friends of ours. Galaxy was told by her husband to not chat with her anymore, but he ignored him and did anyway. He does not display appropriate behavior for a happily married man. There are other examples of his odd behavior, but I think four people that have come to the same conclusion about him based on his behavior are enough. I believe he shows you only one side of himself. Four plus people who have had similar experiences with him can't ALL be wrong.

Ok so as everyone knows I do not post very often but I feel I do need to post to this. I just would like to inform everyone that Galaxy and his WIFE are friends of mine and my husbands and for the attacks towards him I just want everyone to know that he is NOT who everyone is depicting him to be. His questioning is for the man whos wife had him moved from one homeless shelter to another then into her ex husbands house. So for those of you who do not know this man and just autmatically assume hes who you think he is NOT please just take a look at his previous posts as to how he speaks before judgement is cast upon him.
Also when ones speak of how he said "I" also remember the country they come from and if you know your significant others like I assume you all do they you will remember that alot of times they speak in that term when refering to there countryman. So I just please ask for this attack to stop on a man who is just here to help others who are going through this journey of immigration as all he wants to do is help. Thank you!! Mr & Mrs Anukem.......friends of Galaxy and his Wife!

I have to agree with Boaz. Considering all the outrage you have echoed in the past about Nigerians getting a bad rap, this reply was waaaaayyyy too quiet. This reply reeks of guilt. You and many others like you are the reason Nigerians are getting a bad rap. You make it hard for the rest of us who have legitimate marriages. mad.gif

If this is true, then an apology is in order, but in your original post, you did say "I want to confirm the procedure of divorced while I am still on 2 yrs green card." There was nothing mentioned about a brother, just the word "I" was used. Using "I" refers to one's self, not another person. By the way, you were not being judged by your word alone, but by actions that were observed in past months.

Sylvia: I feel for you. I am about cried out now. Now I have to tighten up my boot straps and get down to business on the next steps to take. My husband's denial had nothing to do with fraud of any type, but with his mother refusing to answer questions. When I really think about it from the embassy's point of view, that can look like there was something to hide. I know the real reason as being that the embassy official did not identify herself so she didn't want to answer questions about her son without knowing. She called very upset asking me to invite the woman back because she felt she ruined our chances of being together. I didn't think it would be that big a deal since she did get a successful interview from my husband's brother, but apparently parents hold a lot of weight in determining the validity of a marriage. I am not sure how we will overcome this, but I will work to find a way.

2Hearts: I am willing to bet that his wife has no clue that he is about to hit her with the fact that he is wanting a divorce. I am also willing to bet that she doesn't know that he is conspiring behind her back.

If your marriage fell apart in that short period of time it must have been an explosive issue that only can be remedied by divorce. But... if that is not the case..read below:

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionDIVORCED WHILE ON 2 YEARS GREEN CARD.
Yes, Sylvia, like yours and mine. I have known him from a group I belonged to where he made several female members uncomfortable by asking personal questions that should not have been asked if he were truly in love with his wife like he claimed. I only had one conversation with him and that was enough to raise my antennae that something was not quite right with him and I see my intuition was correct. He got a CR1 visa and in Nigeria, those almost always go into AP, especially when there is a big age difference as in he and his wife's case. This makes me even more angrier. And then he wonders why people speak in the manner they do about his fatherland?

You only arrived a couple of months ago. I think you would have a heard time proving the bonifide marriage especially coming from a country that is already tagged for a high fraud rate.



and he was upset about the previous post I made?? HMMMMM go figure??

Gosh if you read his historical posts you see him desperately asking about getting that magic 10 year green card as soon as he landed in the US. I makes me mad that relationships like this just slide through the interview process while completely valid ones get caught in visa hell. He arrived the 18th of November and is talking divorce already.

Hello,

You can go M-Th, but make sure that you are there before 11 a.m. as this is when they will call for inquiries and when they do, get in the inquiry line to see if ur fiance can pick up his packets. Make sure he comes with the approval notice and the letter from the NVC which will have the case number on it and also he will need to bring his passport as ID.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQUESTION - Can documentation be gathered too soon?
I don't know how long police certificates in Senegal are good for, but I know for certain that a police certificate in Nigeria is only good for three months.



quote name='Paul & Evelyn' date='Oct 11 2008, 12:12 PM' post='2294744']
Can you tell we are new at this? We just filed our I-129F, and we have 3 questions in 3 days. This website is fantastic. Responses to the other 2 questions were quick and very helpful. We are both extremely excited about this, but I am realistic, and I know the road ahead is a long one, and there may be some unexpected bumps or potholes along the way. So, I got my case number from my check, the USCIS website says the NOA1 has been sent to us and is probably sitting in my PO Box at this moment. I know the the NOA2 is 3-5 months away.

QUESTIONS: We are excited and want to be ready to go when the next step arrives. My Baby wants to know if she can start gathering her documents right now. She is Nigerian, living in Senegal. So, anything she needs from Nigeria will probably take some time. How long? We don't know. Her brother has her original birth certificate, and I have a color scanned copy. So, we are all set on this one. She just got a new passport, so we are goo there as well. HOW SOON/EARLY IS TOO SOON/EARLY to gather these itrems?

1. Police Certificates? She has lived in Senegal for 3 years, and prior to that she lived in Nigeria since birth. So, she will need Police Certificates from both Nigeria and Senegal. Can she request these now, or must she wait for the NOA2?

2. Medical Examination? I am guessing this should wait because the two doctors approved by the US Consular Office in Dakar will probably send the medical report directly to the embassy, or is it given to her to take to the interview?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures*** K-3 May and June 2007 Filers ***
Hello G,

How is your week going so far? I wanted to let you know that I received my NOA-1 for I-129F in the snail mail today, August 27, 2007, a day after your estimate on the chart. The I-130 was touched on August 22, I am guessing because they received K-3 petition? The received date on the notice is August 15, 2007 and the notice date is August 21, 2007.

By the way, I sent in my K-3 without the fee even though I filed I-130 before July 30, and stated that I sent no fee due to it was after July 30 on my cover letter and on my NOA-1 it states that the fee was waived, so I can confirm that you do not have to send the old fee or the difference between the old fee for the I-130 and the new fee for the I-130, send no fee at all. They do accept it.

Please update me on your chart the next time you do it.

Thanks,

Deb

yay good luck! where did you end up sending it to and did you include the fee?



Hello Divine,

Yes, I sent it yesterday and they received it today. To answer your question, no I did not send a fee based on someone else on VJ sent $170 payment when she had sent her I-130 before July 30, and they sent her NOA-1 saying that she did not owe any money as the fee is now free for K-3 and they did not cash her check. So, I shall see what happens. I did include on my cover letter that I did not include a fee because according to the new fees, there is none for a K-3 petition. I will find out one way or another if they accept this. I will keep you informed.

Robin,

Thanks for your reply. You are right. I had it in mind that the $1010 AOS fee was to be paid before he got to the USA, but you are right. We have two years to pay it after he gets here. I got that confused. Now, you are talking about $355 for the K-3? I filed the I-130 in May so I thought I still was under the old rules and was going to send $170, so according to you, I now have to send $355? Is that to cover the rest owed with the new fees after paying $190 for the I-130?

Thanks,

Deb

Deb,

Disregard my comment about the K-3 fees. I was only making a point on how excessive they are. I used new fees for future applicants.

The stress of this process can cause tunnel vission. I'm glad you will be able to continue with your K-3.

Waiting to save for the AOS fee will only push back the date you will be eligible to apply for citizenship. But that is second to getting our loved ones with us.

Keep your head up,
Robin
:)



Robin,

Thanks again for your reply. I just need to ask one more thing. Am I correct in sending $170 for payment of K-3?

Thanks,

Deb


Hi Deb
Hope you are doing okay under the circumstances. We all very well understand the pain of AOS and other fees but I believe as Robin pointed out that the K-3 is valid for two years and you will have fair amount of time to save for it. Also, if you start saving right from today, you will have even more time but I just want to say hang in there and we all will get thru this painful process. Not knowing your financial situation, I hope I dont cross any personal limit by writing about savings and all that. If I did then my apologies. That was NOT my intention. I am trying to lift up your spirit and encourage you in this painful process.

As for your question about fees, from what I know so far, I dont think we have clear answer yet for the Petitioners who sent in there I-130 prior to the fee increase and will be sending their I129F later. The best thing I can suggest is search VJ and also call the USCIS national customer service number. They should be able to answer this question, again the key word is should. :)

Robin,
A very valid point about comparing the amount of fees we end up paying for these USCIS processes and when it comes to "sponsoring" your family. Though, I always thought that the new AOS fees were a bit ridiculous(esp. for family based immigration(K3) versus employment based), I never looked at it from the perspective that you just mentioned in regards with the poverty guidelines. Great point!!! but ofcourse its only great and valid from OUR perspective and not from USCIS'. You know what bugs me the most is, even after paying all of these high fees, I probably wont see any comparable return (as cutting the wait time). If the wait time decreases by paying the high fees, then I guess it may be worth it.

Anyhow, god speed to all and Deb hang in there. You will figure things out as u 'll go along this process. I know easier said than done but things have a way of working out at the end (most times).

Gluck and try to have a good weekend. :thumbs:

Regards
Pkewl

Deb,

On such a critical question regarding fees due, I cannot comment with any certainty. A knowledgeable person on a Yahoo Group (MAG-ANAK, a Filipino/a American group) named Ray Bacon is extremely knowledgeable in these matters. I believe he takes the stance you need to send the K-3 fee with your application.

I highly recommend getting a direct answer from USCIS. Ask for the person's name and ID number and maybe even a confirmation number if available. Include any direction with your application.

Pkewl,

I read the fee increase press phone conference with the USCIS director. The accepted overall fee increase is 66%, across the board. As we know the AOS fee went up from $325 to $930, or a 186% increase. What many probably assume is they will greatly increase the speed to adjudicate the applications. But...

Their goal is to improve processing speeds by 20% !!!!! Wow, nice value for the price. Also they commented that this will take time to ramp up. That part is understandable. So with all those fee increases, processing will go from a promised 6 months to a whopping 4.8 months! I feel so special...

I'm self-employed. I could NEVER increase fees 66% to 186% and remain in business after notifying customers they will only reap a 20% benefit from such huge fee increases.

I believe USCIS, for the most part, is a department so removed from the majority of Americans, thus public eye, they have next to ZERO accountability for their (lack of) performance.

I would like to slap the management on the back of the head and ask them what the heck they are thinking.

Ugh. Makes me so frustrated. Sorry, venting...

One more thing while previewing my post. Isn't it nice how employee-based applications can expedite their applications, but we must deal with this slower process? I would gladly pay the $1,000 expediting fee to get my wife here faster. Also K-1 applicants can get a SSN right away in their maiden name. We have to pay another $300 plus to get an EAD. What the stink. They are on drugs, or something.

Again, just blowing off steam. I trust everyone understands...

Happy Friday,
Robin


Robin,

Thanks once again for all your advice. I don't know what I would do if not for this site and the friends I have made on it. It is nice to vent as well as congratulate those who have made it through this horribly long and expensive process. I will be sending a fee, but I will call and find out from USCIS how much I should send. Have a great weekend all!

Thanks once again,

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures*** K-3 May and June 2007 Filers ***

Robin,

Thanks for your reply. You are right. I had it in mind that the $1010 AOS fee was to be paid before he got to the USA, but you are right. We have two years to pay it after he gets here. I got that confused. Now, you are talking about $355 for the K-3? I filed the I-130 in May so I thought I still was under the old rules and was going to send $170, so according to you, I now have to send $355? Is that to cover the rest owed with the new fees after paying $190 for the I-130?

Thanks,

Deb

Deb,

Disregard my comment about the K-3 fees. I was only making a point on how excessive they are. I used new fees for future applicants.

The stress of this process can cause tunnel vission. I'm glad you will be able to continue with your K-3.

Waiting to save for the AOS fee will only push back the date you will be eligible to apply for citizenship. But that is second to getting our loved ones with us.

Keep your head up,
Robin
:)



Robin,

Thanks again for your reply. I just need to ask one more thing. Am I correct in sending $170 for payment of K-3?

Thanks,

Deb


Hi Deb
Hope you are doing okay under the circumstances. We all very well understand the pain of AOS and other fees but I believe as Robin pointed out that the K-3 is valid for two years and you will have fair amount of time to save for it. Also, if you start saving right from today, you will have even more time but I just want to say hang in there and we all will get thru this painful process. Not knowing your financial situation, I hope I dont cross any personal limit by writing about savings and all that. If I did then my apologies. That was NOT my intention. I am trying to lift up your spirit and encourage you in this painful process.

As for your question about fees, from what I know so far, I dont think we have clear answer yet for the Petitioners who sent in there I-130 prior to the fee increase and will be sending their I129F later. The best thing I can suggest is search VJ and also call the USCIS national customer service number. They should be able to answer this question, again the key word is should. :)

Robin,
A very valid point about comparing the amount of fees we end up paying for these USCIS processes and when it comes to "sponsoring" your family. Though, I always thought that the new AOS fees were a bit ridiculous(esp. for family based immigration(K3) versus employment based), I never looked at it from the perspective that you just mentioned in regards with the poverty guidelines. Great point!!! but ofcourse its only great and valid from OUR perspective and not from USCIS'. You know what bugs me the most is, even after paying all of these high fees, I probably wont see any comparable return (as cutting the wait time). If the wait time decreases by paying the high fees, then I guess it may be worth it.

Anyhow, god speed to all and Deb hang in there. You will figure things out as u 'll go along this process. I know easier said than done but things have a way of working out at the end (most times).

Gluck and try to have a good weekend. :thumbs:

Regards
Pkewl



Hello Pkewl,

Thanks so much for your reply and advice. I had gotten it confused and my thought was that we owed the $1000+ before he could come here, but since now I know that we have two years to save for it, no problem. I am going ahead with the K-3. That exorbitant fee was what was holding us back. I will take your advice and call the "helpless" desk, lol, of USCIS and see what kind of answer I can get from them as to what fee I should send in with the K-3. I hate this whole process...it is way too long and way too expensive, but will all be worth it to be with my husband.

Thanks again,

Deb

Getting depressing again...:(


G&A,

I am really depressed as well because my husband's passport photos did not arrive in the mail until after the fees went up and I can't afford to pay $1000 for AOS. We now have no choice but to pursue the I-130. Does this mean I can no longer be a part of this thread?

Thanks,

Deb

Deb,

I understand your concern. If I'm not mistaken, you can apply for AOS within 2 years of entering the United States (the K-3 Visa is valid for 2 years); therefore, you have all that time to save the money. If you can afford the first, unchanged fee, I trust you can save the $1,010 ($930 + $80 biometrics) within two years.

Other members, correct me regarding the timeframe if I'm wrong.

There are fee waivers, but we don't qualify under the I-485/K-3 application.

What is sad is the following. Under the 125% of poverty requirement for proof of support which is $17,112 for a family of 2 (husband and wife only), the $1,010 AOS fee is 5.9% of your annual income.

If you include the $355 K-3 (now includes the I-130 and I-129F together), the total is $1,365 which is 8.0% of the minimum required level.

THAT IS INSANE. Talk about a regressive tax. It is unbelievable this is remotely acceptable to them. In my opinion, allowing me to stand on my soap box for a second, everything for adoptions and spouses should be FREE, or at minimum subject to your income level.

Anyway, I understand your situation. Make sure you run a full analysis and understand all the facts, fees and timelines before you give up on seeing your husband before giving up the K-3 and going with your CR1.

God speed,
Robin

Dont worry about money...as long as you live...it will ALWAYS be a problem. Take it one day at a time and i am sure you will get through it. In fact, I know you will get through it. You will always be part of this thread (atleast until your husbands passport gets stamped) I dont do the tables my husband does them (Hes G i am A).

Dont worry and try not to stress...i know its easier said than done but before you know it your husband will be in the US and we can put this nasty process behind us.

A,

Thanks so much for your words of encouragement. I am also proud to be a part of this thread. Let G know that this is our decision. My ID on here is kelly1290 and my husband is from Nigeria. We are both so depressed, but we know we don't have the money to pursue K-3 as the fees stand now, so we have no other choice than to wait for approval of I-130 even though it takes longer than K-3 to obtain an interview. I have a question though...Can you still use James' shortcuts for the I-130 as far as sending him a copy of the NOA-2 and having him take it to the embassy in Lagos to get his Packet 3 and interview date? Your help is much appreciated!

Supernova,

Thanks so much for your reply. No, I don't live in CSC's region, but my I-130 is pending at that service center, so that is where I will be sending my I-129f. I will make a call to USCIS and see if I can get any straight answers from them, probably not because I like to refer to them as the "helpless center", lol. Wish me good luck. I am about to compile my I-129f and send it out.

Deb


I found these directions on the I-129F form while looking to answer another question:

B. Form I-129F Filing Locations for K-3 Spouse
If you are filing an I-129F petition for your spouse, mail your petition to the Service Center where the underlying I-130 petition is currently pending. Use the address listed on your most recent receipt notice or transfer notice and include a copy of that notice with your Form I-129F.

So you are correct in sending your K3 to CSC.

Good luck.



EDP,

Thanks for sharing that. I was looking at the instructions as well and had already seen that earlier today. I am compiling my I-129f to send out on my day off from work. It also says that it is free only if you filed your I-130 July 30 or after, so I will be sending $170 for my payment. That is what I was told to do by USCIS.

Thanks,

You are more than welcome. I am just trying to help. I think sending your I-129F to CSC is a good idea since your I-130 is there. I suggest you mention that your I-130 is at CSC in your cover letter just to be safe.

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.

The I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) that was transferred to our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location is now pending there.


Hello G&A,

I have good news to report tonight. When I got home tonight from taking my son to the zoo, I found that the passport photos that my husband had mailed to me on June 28 have finally arrived today. I want to send out my K-3 application tomorrow, but I have a quick question. I had a suggestion given to me that I should skip sending my application to the Chicago lockbox and just send it to CSC where my I-130 is pending. Would that be okay to do?

Thanks,

Deb


P.S. Also, do I send the original $170 fee since we filed I-130 in May or is it now free? Don't know which way to go for that. Thanks, your help is much appreciated.

Here is the updated table. Did i miss any changes?

Hello G&A,

I seem to have disappeared off the table. Did I get deleted for some reason? I used to be listed somewhere around Divine Mercy and now I am not on the table at all. To give you an update...My husband mailed his passport photo on June 28 and it is now July 29 and I have never received it which means I can't file the K-3 and I really don't know what to do at this point. I am so frustrated cuz they are not moving on the I-130s at California at all. Mine has not been touched since it was received in June, but it looks like everyone elses that is there has never been touched since it arrived either. Maybe someone can give me some suggestions on what I can do now? I have an old passport photo of him from last year, but it has a red background instead of the white and I know they will just send it back for that alone. WHAT DO I DO????? Also, I noticed that my timeline for adjudication of my I-130 has now moved from October 7 to December 27, 2007. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?

Thanks,

Deb

OK folks. So this things keep getting better thanks to the suggestions i have been getting. Now the table provide you with estimate dates for the 129F application based on the stats from the members. Of course, the dates get better if more members report their info.

also, congrats to ahmad/gwen and wintime for the noa1s. and Pkewl, thanks for your help!

The cell shaded red are missing dates. The dates in white are all my estimates as stated above. I am interested to hear from members whose dates have passed to replace the est. date with actual dates.

cheers!

Hello G,

Just to let you know, I am still waiting on my husband's passport photo to arrive in the mail. As I already knew, it was not going to arrive in the five days that they promised him and that he paid for. He mailed it two Friday's ago. Whenever I receive it, I will be mailing my I-129F. Will let you know when that happens.

Thanks for everything,

Hello G,

Sorry I haven't come on visa journey for a few days now. I had a death in my family. I am just now coming online to catch up on this site. Yes, the good news about the strike in Nigeria is that it ended this past Saturday. My husband will be mailing me his passport photo this Friday, just to give them time to adjust their gasoline prices and get a supply of gasoline in his area. Thank God! So things are starting to look up again. Of course, I will have to wait forever for it to make it to my mailbox, but at least it will be on its way.

By the way, is it unusual that my case has not been touched since June 10 on the I-130? A few people here seem to be moving right along. Should I give USCIS a call?

Deb



Hi Deb, I am sorry about the death in the family. May they rest in peace. The good news is that things are moving again for you! I agree with gogo's comments. You might want to wait a bit before you call USCIS. PS CSC does not have a direct number. You have to call the USCIS main number on their web page.

I got my NOA 1 for the I-130 today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Congrats raj! :thumbs: I just sent out my I-129f today. :)


So i finally sent mine today. and with no NOA1 **crossing my fingers**


Hello G,

My husband came online last night and informed me that he mailed out the passport photo yesterday, so as soon as it gets in my mailbox, I will go directly to the post office and mail off my K-3 petition by express mail. As soon as I do, I will let you know and put it on my timeline. Thanks so much for your condolences.

Have a good one,

Deb: Its nice to hear that things are moving again for you. I m happy for u. Hang in there, we are all in this together.

Regarding your question about I-130 touch:

"By the way, is it unusual that my case has not been touched since June 10 on the I-130? A few people here seem to be moving right along. Should I give USCIS a call? "

As far as I know, I think NOT getting any touches on your I-130, since your last NOA1 online status update , is at all unusual (esp looking at both of your dates). Mine is 06/01/07 and I dont think I have had any touch on my I-130 and considering the fact that my app is at CSC, apparently the busiest of all, it doesn't surprise me at all. Now, I know yours is probably at NSC and u may wanna follow up with someo other VJ members who also filed at NSC. May give you more insights. But if you 'd like then you can also call USCIS to see what they have to say in regards with this.

-------------------------------
Speaking of I-130 touches, I am also interested in knowing if some other members(hopefully someone who filed at CSC and in late MAY or early JUNE) got any touches on their I-130 or not. It may help near date applicants to anticipate/track their cases. If someone got a recent touch(as in last week or so) on their I-130, since their initial NOA1 online status update, can you please share it with us.

Thanks and Good Luck.

Regards
Pkewl



Hi Pkewl,

Thanks for your suggestions and input. Yes, finally, we will be moving forward once again. Actually, I sent my case originally to NSC as this was the service center for my state of residence, but it was transferred (as I think others who have filed at NSC) to CSC and that is where my case has been sitting ever since. They received my case on June 7, cashed my check on June 8, and I received my NOA1 on June 12. According to the USCIS website, they have not touched my case since June 10, so apparently I am sitting in a pile somewhere. Do you know the phone number for CSCto inquire?

Thanks,

Hi G&A,

He already has six passport photos with him in Nigeria. The problem is he can't mail it because the post office and FedEx are both closed. The streets of Lagos are deserted, no flow of traffic because there is a shortage of gasoline, so no one can take their car to work. They either have to walk or take one of the few taxis that are running, which by the way are higher priced now. There are no buses running, everything is at a standstill until the Nigerian government gives in to the Labor Union's demands. Right now, he has not had electricity in his house for over seven days and the cafe's that he uses are all closed, so no computers or printers, or anything. He can't even call me because he can't charge the battery on his phone because there is no electricity. We are unable to communicate with each other at all right now. So until the strike is over, there is nothing either of us can do except to wait. I can't file until I have that photo. :crying:

Did it indicate you had any touches on your case before you saw that you were approved? According to the USCIS website, my case has not been touched since June 10, 2007. I really really hope for a quick approval like this. This is the better visa also. I am having a delay on filing my K-3 because Nigeria is on an indefinite strike because of rising gasoline prices. They have closed schools, airports, banks, and post offices because there is no movement of traffic. I need a passport photo from my husband and now he can't send it because of this strike and it is unknown how long this strike will go on. Until it ends, I can't file the K-3. It gives me hope that maybe it won't matter that I can't file the K-3 if you got approved so quickly. All I can do is pray!

I would really appreciate if you could answer my question above.

Thanks so much,

Deb



Deb, sorry to hear that you are affected by the strike in Nigeria. One idea is for him to take a photo and send it to you and you can re-size appropriately and print passport style. of course, he has to meet all the specs (no shadows, hi res, color, white background, ...)
or maybe he can have a passport photo taken and ask for a digital version (a lot of the passport photo equipment is digital these days) or maybe even scan it with a good scanner.

good luck

Hi dgv76,
Congratulations on your approval... :) :)

Just wanted to make sure what I read and understood is correct: This is your I-130 NOA2 Correct? The reason I am asking this is because I think my I-130 was sent just a week or so after yours. Not that I am expecting my NOA2 anytime soon(altho it 'd be great) but I am just surprised yet REALLY REALLY happy for you, if u did get your I-130 NOA2. Can you please tell me which service center you mailed your I-130 to so that I can do some more tracking.

Thanks for your time and help.

Anyway I have given lovely hubby strict instructions that he should get everything copied then all he needs to do is take a copy of the NOA1 and Bobs your uncle, it can be away! Yay going to go and make a celebratory cup of tea now!!

Good luck everyone!

YEA EMMA!

I am so excited for you. The check for mine cleared this past Monday and the next day I received the NOA1 in the mail. Yes, it is one small step, but at least A step towards seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Congratulations! :dance: Good luck for the rest of your journey!

Good Luck to Everyone!
