Sorry, I mean I see the case on the back of the check, but when I check the uscis site and enter this case number, it says case does not exist.



OHHHHHH blush.gif Ok...not sure if you registered yet with them...I know that Tim did as soon as we saw the case number, and he was able to see the status right away...(which really didn't say much..lol)...

Can everyone see their status online? It says mine case does not exist. Just wondering, is it me or is it everyone? They cashed the check 6 days ago.

Hi M&K,
I'm not 100% about this, but I think that if you add your timeline into your profile, then you should see how things are going. Just put in the required information and click submit at the bottom. It should take you to an area to give you an estimated time of receiving NOA2 ( I think). Have you received your first NOA?

so whats this igor's list and how does it work? i keep seeing references to it, can anyone clue me in?


Igor's list can be found here http://www.visajourn...filers.php?cfl=
This is only based on VJ members and not the other 1000's out there that are in the visa process, but it is quite handy, although it can get quite depressing if you dont move in the right direction on the list.

Hope you're still going to visit us in Dec '08 VSC Joshua whistling.gif



Whoo hoo thanks!! I found it...Tim and I are in the top 500!!! LOL LOL LOL!!! 473 to be exact!!

*sits down with good book...cause she's in for a long wait....*

As long as you follow the guides you should all be fine. I had all the items documented on my cover letter and placed it in order respectively and just hole punched everything and placed a metal fastener on top. When they receive it anyway they will just pull it all apart and set it up how they want it anyway so I wouldnt stress too much..good luck January filers!!!!

biggrin.gif Ain't that the truth!! I had our file so that each trip went in chronological order, and I'm sure everything will just get moved around! Each part of package was in it's own file folder, including one that says "mutual intent" where our letters, and engagement cards, etc are in. Tim and I have 2 years of relationship, and now I think we probably could have gotten away with one or two trips to see each other...

oh well....

mine was a one thick folder. beside the requirement form, this is what i enclose as proof.

original letter of intent (both parties)
beneficiary birth certificate
copy of passport - all pages including front and back cover
copy of US citizens certificate (front&back)
call history - i enclosed 6 months and highlight phone number since it's a calling card.
picture - i think it was 15
airline tickets, expense receipts, and engagement ring receipts


What is US Citizen's certificate? and 15 pictures??? I thought it said on this website that you could send a maximum of 5?!




LOL we sent in a few more than five too!! I'm sure it's ok though. Tim and I met in 2006 and we have a picture of us on the day we met. So I thought that might look good attached to his letter of meeting each other. Then of course each trip to see each other, ( in the past 2 years that would equal 5 times ) and we also included pictures of the watches he gave me, one for my birthday in '07 and at the time of engagement. I don't have a ring, but a watch...it's so beautiful and delicate. He also took a couple of pictures from a scrapbook that I did up for him for Christmas of '07, just to show the thread of how our relationship grew. Plus all the forms that they required and ongoing proof of relationship. When they get to our file...they'll have to have a good cup of tea, put their feet up on the desk...and enjoy the story!! biggrin.gif

Tim filed ours on Dec. 30th and VSC received it on Jan. 5th. I hope that makes us a January filer! smile.gif He received the NOA on the 10th. I sent him down LOTS of information because.....he didn't save anything!!! LOL LOL LOL Thankfully I did, so I hope that it will be enough, and then somehow, a few of his credit card receipts ended up with mine from some of the times we visited with each other. I am SO nervous!! wacko.gif We're all going to have to cheer each other on!!

So Cheers!!!!

How do you get an estimated approval date from the VJ timelines? Sorry, this may be a dumb question.



That is the part in your timeline that says "Based on the timelines, your I-129F may be adjudicated as early as ____".



Where exactly do you read that? When I go to my timeline, it just takes me to the area of editing, and doesn't say anything about adjudicating as early as..... What am I missing?



Never mind!! blondie figured it out!!! blush.gif

All, why are you so surprised? VSC has transferred all its applications upto 15th dec or so to CSC. Thus only petitions left from past 6 weeks are left for them to approve.


Maybe I should have gotten Tim to marry me in October when he proposed!! laughing.gif I could have come home...and he would have filed differently. Oh well...ours is going to happen...sooner or later.. eb0dfafc.gif

I hope all of you waiting will get your approvals soon then...

QUOTE (druvenile @ Feb 1 2009, 10:52 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello,

Here is my timeline thus far

I am a US Citizen.

12/28/2008 - USCIS received I-130 (Spouse)Package.
01/05/2009 - NOA1 received
01/31/2009 - Email alert from USCIS that my I-130 application is approved and the approval notice was mailed 1/30/2009

I should receive the NOA2 in mail during the first week February 2009.

How can I get my NOA2 within 1 month NOA1? I was expecting atleast 6 month wait for NOA2.

Has the process become faster? Do you know of anyone that has had a similar experience?

I don't know what to think since NOA2 notice was so unexpected.



Congrats!! Perhaps Vermont takes the 500th petition and approves it quick to get it out of the office!! laughing.gif....

I'm not surprised though...I had noticed that a K-1 petition last August was approved in 3 weeks after the first NOA. Their whole process took 96 days from start to receiving the visa!! That would be a dream....

But, it's rather funny..I'm not ready yet either!! I have a house to do some minor repairs on, and hopefully get it up for sale in the spring. I won't put it up until I know my interview date first though.

Go out and celebrate!! kicking.gif kicking.gif
