the thing is: we were all touched on the same day, so in my opinion that was just an administrative touch, e.g. sorting our files and putting them in storage and so on. But on the other hand i would like to have a nice surprise and in that case to be proven wrong biggrin.gif

nothing here, but i told ya, they were just putting our files in boxes and pushing them around. I'm not trying to sound pessimistic or negative, that's just my rational thinking

we got a touch as well. pretty late, but we got one. I think they are just pushing around papers.

thanks for replying..I am totally confused. I dont know if i should apply for K 3


My recommendation is that you should stick to CR1/IR1 route as that is a more powerful visa.

honestly...i jst want her here in da shortest time possible...so if cr1 is faster then i will stick to that.



CR1 is not faster but better and cheaper, you don't have the hassle with AOS and so on. The time difference might be a month or so. My husband and I decided to do CR1 because of the costs and the fact that I'm not forced to stay at home and get bored while adjusting status

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresConsul approved my CR1 VISA today!
Congrats Sweetie!!!!!! So happy for you!
ChritoFemaleGermany2009-06-16 09:07:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 Visa or IR-1 CR-1 Visa..whats the difference ?
Still stationed in Germany? Look into direct consular filing DCF! Look through the Consulate's website: http://germany.usemb..._relatives.html
and have your husband call the military helpline (you should find the number somewhere there as well) and the immigrant visa unit

This might help as well: https://egov.uscis.g...r.statecode=arm

Good Luck!

My Dear Fellow November Filers: go take a walk around the block because it is going to be awhile.... sad.gif

Nobody from September and October have been receiving the NOA-2 yet. (there is 2 months to add to our wait time).
The USCIS webiste lists the current processing time average as 7.3 months. So add yet another month or two. http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD

WIth all the VSCs added to the CSC stack, California's former rate of 6 months must surely slow down. Probably similar to the 7.3 month reported overall average wait time.

Any way you look at it, we are in for a 5 to 7 month wait for the NOA2.

77 days til I see my bride again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EricN


dear eric
most of us got transferred, and yes, some from September got their NOA2

First rule when it comes to USCIS: Never ever trust their website, especially when it comes to processing times. It clearly states there that those dates are from end of November. CSC has to post 6 months there because they are within their processing time frame. Hint: Look closer at the Immigration Timelines...
On the other hand it doesn't make any sense for them to touch our files that often. Why should they even open them when they are not working on them?
I was being called pessimistic here when I wrote that the last touches where just file-pushing touches. No offense, but you're posts are pessimistic.
Never give up hope!

I want a touch as well. first we had to wait a month for our NOA1, then 2 months for the transfer...

Dang, looks like he's already at work to make up for the time he needs for his appointment or he's on his way to the hospital. Well, my bad, I wasn't supposed to be at home right now, but my mom's car didn't need to go to the shop. The shocks work again, maybe they were just frozen. The universe plays a strange game sometimes.
