Thanks for the compliment happyinlove012408 and you're welcome KAHM - it's nice to get feedback.

There have been approvals earlier in the year which I have only just located. I think this is because a lot of K3 filers have changed to IR1/CR1 status so their stats are only showing now. If you notice anyting I've missed or miscalculated, just let me know.

What is it with lawyers? So often people have no idea what their lawyer is doing despite having talked to them about what it is they want.

There was a time when I felt that using a lawyer for something this important was a good idea. But that time has long since passed.


To be honest? There is nothing with lawyer but money wastage.. It was not my idea to hire one although I couldn't object anymore because he was already there. The lawyer kinda forgot sending us an e-mail regarding I-129f application so my husband called his office after 2 days. He doesn't want to give me much of info because it is his job according to him (He cannot do that as receipt is all that I need to check our case online). But I have read a lot of "bad" experiences in connection with lawyers so I am also keeping an eye on our visa process.


I'd be watching them like a hawk - noone knows your info more than you do.

Spreadsheet is UPDATED, big Congrats to recent approvals

Thank you,

Wow, alot happens by the time you close your eyes and wake up the next morning.

CaNdiD wiTcH - I didn't realise you'd also submitted the I-129f as I determine everything by people's timeline. I understand you may end up going the IR1/CR1 route instead of K3 in the long run but until then you are K3 Status. Yes, I agree it is a technicality but if for some reason your K3 process goes full speed ahead, it will provide those still making decisions on which Visa apply for, with some great stats. I will take you off the spreadsheet for now but as soon as you decide to go with the IR1/CR1, please let me know - and after all those stuff-ups and corrections I made to your name too!!! cool.gif

UPDATED as of today.


Actually, I am really getting confused. As far as I know our lawyer also submitted I-129f together with I-130 but it seems that he didn't. I sent him an e-mail but I didn't receive any response yet. We receive just NOA1 for I-130 and that is a puzzle to me till now. Anyway, you could remove me and it is fine. I need to clarify few things with the lawyer first.


No worries - message me when you know. It only takes a click of the mouse to get you back on there. smile.gif

But you know, you're going through Vermont so 2080 is probably a closer estimate!!! blink.gif

Seems like some december NOA1s got their I-130 approved just now...without any expedite handling....is there a way we can tell on this spreadsheet that who is going through a NORMAL process time and who is going through HELP (Expedite)?

It is very hard to figure out what month they are working on currently...some ppl from Sep, Oct, Dec...they all are getting I-130 approved at the same time???

Confused...explain
Thanks!



Hi waitingforever - I have added your details to the spreadsheet. I haven't distinguished between those who are and are not expedited but it sticks out like dogs' balls on the spreadsheet because they are the approvals that tend to break the overall pattern. Having said that, there have been some "freak" early approvals with no expedite.

Yes, it is hard to figure what month they are currently working on because USCIS is unpredictable. Based on your timeline, you can't be too far behind as January Vermont approvals are slowly filtering in.

CaNdiD wiTch, as I mentioned in my previous post, I can't add you until you confirm your service centre. At the moment you have Texas but in the case of an IR1/CR1 visa, its either going to be Cali or Vermont. Hang tight, your hardcopy should be in the mail soon & then you can let me know.

Congrats Allan_D- you are so lucky to be going through Cali.

It definitely is the better way to go. Please change the status of your visa/timeline so that I can add your details to the spreadsheet. I am also waiting for CaNdid wiTch to confirm her service centre. For the meantime, I have added Richard and Aida

Thanks I am findly on the timeline. This whole process has not been fun and neither has it been for anyone else. But God willing and able it will be worth it when it is all done.



Phillip2 - No problem - I have only just updated it. Changing your visa status makes all the difference to collating info for the spreadsheet. Your stats will not show up otherwise. Allan_D, I've added you also.

charisma1 - Even if google docs translates to excel, you are a K3 applicant in which the spreadsheet would not capture information relevant to your question. You may wish to ask K3 trackers?

NicoleX08, thanks for providing feedback. Much appreciated.

Congrats foreverido - I'm glad your expedite came through for you.

Sorry Phillip2, this spreadsheet is designed specifically for IR-1/CR-1 filers. There is a separate spreadsheet in this forum for K3 filers if you're keen.

Gakkuken, you're added.

There has certainly been alot of movement lately - at least at CSC blink.gif

Delicia, if you're out there, I hope you hear something soon!

Oh ####### - I forgot the UPDATE.... If there are any errors/changes, please let me know.

Whisper2me has graciously volunteered to take over updating the spreadsheet from here on out. Be good to her people or I will come back and throw virtual eggs at you. I, hopefully, will be out of the USCIS hell soon. My husband arrives this weekend in the U.S. on a 6-month stay and hopefully, before his visitor visa expires, he will be heading back to Canada for his consular interview. During the time he is here, I will not be looking back here much except perhaps from work when I have a minute, so godspeed to everyone on their immigration journeys.

Last call for someone to take over the spreadsheet.

I am finished with updated it and receiving negative PMs about it mostly from the K-3 filers who complain that what they really want is a CR-1 so therefore, should be listed. Others like to complain that there is no way the information is correct because VSC absolutely couldn't have a better average processing time that CSC (yes, people, I sit and spend my time off work making up data because I am just malicious that way).

I am finished with the board. It has become something horrible. It is no longer people sharing ideas and helpful advice. Good luck with your journeys.


I am happy to continue with your spreadsheet Delicia, as long as people update me of their NOA1's, NOA2's etc via this thread. I don't have the time to chase updates in other topics/threads and I wouldn't be touching K3 dates. I have just started my journey so I will be around for a good while. Feel free to contact me as I'll need a brief spreadsheet info discussion.

My daughter's NOA-1 finally arrived in the mail today - almost a week behind the others. It has the same date so it must have gotten side-tracked in the post.

Can relax now as we go on to the next phase. The last thing I wanted to do was deal with a USCIS officer on the phone ~phew!~

Other than that, I can't fine one single I-130 approval since May 6, so no other updates to report at this time.

Hi All, just starting off the journey officially - have been in here reading for months..

Could you please add me to your timeline. Hubby and I have also sent off petitions for my son and daughter, so whether you want to include their timelines as well as mine, is up to you. It will be interesting to gauge how close the petitions stick together during the process and I think would be a useful guide to others going through the journey with lil ones. So far we have only received a NOA1 for just myself and son. I am guessing daughters' NOA will come tomororw,well hoping...

Anyway..... lets see how we go... :-)
