IMBRA Special Topicscalifornia rfe,,,got mine!!

i was thinking the same that they, USCIS, are making 2 or 3 boxes that they seperated from the way you answered on your 129f , how you met? dont know just wishful thinking. as i met my fiance while working in her country. who knows


Has anyone noticed that the three who have received their RFE's have all not met through a
marriage broker or online? Is this just a coincidence or is the USCIS still trying to figure out guidelines
for those who have met online?


same here jpine! :)

IMBRA Special Topicscalifornia rfe,,,got mine!!

Where do you get the new Form 129F? I know this might be a silly question and you might say go read it somewhere but isn't that what we are all here to help each other out going through same situations. I am going to go look for the new form but if anyone could help it would be appreciated. :help: I start applying for my K-3 visa in August after my wedding and would love to do this right. Thanks and best wishes.



hi there...

the form can be found here

http://www.visajourn...mp;page=k3forms

if you need to follow a sample one that has been filled out, you can download it from her as well

hi blue surf,

there are basically three questions that you need to answer. (this is the gyst form)

1. whether you met thru a marriage broker (this question has boxes to check yes or no) ]
then following it is a line, if you answered yes please provide the name of the marriage broker, and location.

2. have you been convicted of ... check all of the following that apply to you(here there are no boxes to answer yes or no) just three other boxes to check
box 1 - domestic violence.sexual assault...
box 2 - homicide, murder...
box 3 - three or more convictions for crimes relation to a controlled substance...

3. If you have provided infomation about a conviction for a crime listed above and you were being battered of subjected to exteme cruelty by your spouce, parent, or adult child at the time of your conviction, check all of the following that apply to you (again no boxes to say yes or none)

box 1. i was acting in self defense
box 2 i violated a protection order...
box 3 i committed, was arrested for,....

sorry no scanner here at work or at home but i hope i gave a good picture of what the questionnaire looked like.
YnaYeBa0808FemalePhilippines2006-06-28 18:18:00
IMBRA Special Topicscalifornia rfe,,,got mine!!
yes i did the same exact thing. i Marked "no" on number one, then left numbers 2-3 blank because it had no space to check no or write the word no it doesnt apply for me.

Mailed it to the same address as yours. i Mailed everythign that they sent me in the envelope. the blue sheet, the introduction sheet (supplement) as well as the questionnaire... i just made copies of everything.

michelle, questions 2-3 doesnt hve it anywhere to say or check on a box to say "no i have not commited any crimes" so personally i left it blank. If your answer would be yes then you would have to check on boxes which apply to your situation and submit any court orders or reports to clarify your case.

i hope that clarifies it somehow ... :)

Got on RFE I am Michigan, and my NOA1 4-17-06. That took a while. For those who have not got their's. I hope you get them soon.
Sent it back out today.

I have a question, all of you that have already got your RFE. Have you been touched when they get the RFE back from you? I have not seen anyone post on that.

I also got 2 e-mails from them today as well. hmmmmm


i got touched when they sent me an email of receipt of the RFE (june 30). i sent mine back on the 28th when i received it, they got it on the 29th but i didnt get touched that day. and after that i got touched again.(july3)

william, i truly dont know the adjucation thing... im not sure where that date came from. it used to be july... when i first started. i hope to god it's not in september... :( thats too long of a wait.

:ot: guys im really nervous about something. i need to vent out for abit otherwise ill go crazy thinking about this not knowing what to think. There were a couple of posts asking what A# was and if it was to be filled out when submitting your petition. I was naturalized and when i ws filling out the fields, i was stuck on these portions of both the I-129F and then the G325a. I called the USCIS customer service line asked them if i should put in the A number since I was naturalized. they said to leave it blank. then again after reading some posts some people filled it out...so im all nervous about my application thinking that i will be getting another RFE... IM praying that i wont... ugh... okay im done venting... no use worrying now... i just needed to let this out of my chest

but gary i do hope your predictions are for reals! :)

hi guys! I got the email that they have received the RFE on the 30th of june. after which i was touched on july 3, 4 and 5. no touches since then.

hmmmm.... should we make like a timeline thing again? like who has RFE's and who has received NOA2s from CSC?


go ahead! :D

when did you mail in the RFE? did you send it overnite delivery?



hi there! i got my RFE on the 28th and returned it the same day. I just used standard mail but then again i think the fact that i live super close (10 mins?) to the CSC has something to do with getting the email that they hve recieved it on an earlier date. Post office said that CSC received my RFE response on the 29th. and it was acknowledged by CSC on the 30th.

Okay..... I'm trying to be positive... so let me think this way.... if I sent my RFE back two weeks after the ones that were aproved this week, my NOA2 shouldn't take more than a month..... right? Who am I kidding... nobody knows....
I just want to hear something positive really. :unsure:



Well, by that logic, I should be approved by Aug 6. They better hurry! I can';t take it anymore................. :crying:

USCIS Service CentersVermont

Hi, I'm new to this all, so apologies for repetitive questions. I can't keep track of all the other Imbra threads.

I submitted my package to Vermont (received June 12), just before the new form came out. Although the date on the form is May 23, when I mailed the package there was no new form posted. I'm awaiting the RFE.

Can you tell me how to check if my case has been "touched"? I would like to track it to see... Gomez your case seems to be moving really fast.

thank you!


you may want to register with USCIS.gov to check your status online. It will allow you to check your status as well as receive email notification for any major changes to your visa application. Touches are good, that means that they have looked or accessed your file, as well as any current update. I hope this helps.
