See what I mean Chels? Didn't I deliver on my word?

Very happy along with everyone and all those NOA2's that have been streaming in today. I wish you safe and speedy journey to each other.

This is ridiculous. I mean these are all K-1's which means this is the madly-gushing-in-love forum. Why do we get to be surrounded by so much joy? I think we have no less than 30 or so regular posters here who are happily awaiting the union with their loved ones. This is like a 24/7 party! In two years, I'll still be trollin' the K-1's just to see all the happiness buzzing.

Great day everyone. Great job VSC, I knew you were up to it.



I love your optimism. I can always rely on your posts to put it all into perspective... especially on the days when I'm feeling like, "when will it be my turn!!!!!!" crying.gif Thanks for being the voice of reason!

Congrats to everyone that was approved today! good.gif

Congratulations to everyone that rec'd their NOA2 recently!!!! Its so great to see movement and that the process may be speeding up a little for us. I think I'm obsessed with Igor's List now! I was so psyched to see an October 6th approval since my NOA1 date was Oct. 8th. Whooooo kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

I understand that this is the Vermont Thread....I was just keeping all october filers in the loop....im just hoping that vermont filers will start getting approved like the california center is starting too. im wishing everyone the best of luck (but yes, i did know where i was posting)


First off, congrats - sincerely! kicking.gif

But....it's kind of bittersweet for us Oct VSC filers seeing all the Oct CSC filers getting approved too. We'd love nothing more than to be getting our NOA2s as well. It's just disappointing to see people announce in this thread that they were approved, only to find out its not from VSC where we are all focused. Most of us follow both threads - but would also still keep an prefer to keep the progress of each center separated. Otherwise it could be passed for gloating which I am sure was never your intention.

But really, Congrats again!


Very nicely put good.gif

Congrats to everyone that rec'd their approval. Ours will soon come!

Lovesponge --

I'm so excited that someone else has filed with my similar timeline from the JA. We can go through this process together. I was also planning a trip down in for V-day as I have a long weekend. Need to start booking now before the price hikes up again. I'm headed to Montego Bay -- my sweetie lives outside of Mobay. How about you?

The third box from the left says "Last Updated" the date indicated there is the last time it was touched. I figure that mine likely was touched as it was being put into the system, and now it will likely sit quietly for several months.


Thanks, that's good to know. I didn't even pay attention to that box. What would we do without all the knowledge that is on this site?!

Good luck to everyone as we play this waiting game.

Glad someone started this thread!!

I filled last week on 10/7 and they cashed the check on 10/10, so I'm hoping for NOA1 soon. Quick question -- how do they send the NOA1 via email or regular mail?

Look forward to waiting and celebrating this process together.


You can check the NOA1 date online. If you have access to your cashed check image (available to me from my bank), you can get your receipt number which should be stamped on the back of the check. The number will probably start with the letters EAC followed by 10 digits. Go to the following link:

https://egov.uscis.g...earchDisplay.do

and enter this number. It should list the NOA1 date. I don't know if they'll email the NOA1 but you'll definitely receive one in the mail. Hope this helps.


Thanks, Guava. I did exactly that and it worked. My NOA1 was actually October 8th! The process has finally started. Now the wait begins for NOA2!

Good luck to everyone!

Where do you see "touch"? Does it say that on their case page? I've never gotten anything except:

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Case received and pending.

On February 25, 2009, we received this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when yours will be done. This case is at our VERMONT SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates.

ps my visajourney estimate has gone up a month in the last few days...it was july - middle of auguest, now it says:

Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between July 3, 2009 and July 14, 2009*.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsService Request Put In Today w/ USCIS

That's the first time I heard them placing a service request before the five months time. They don't really have any standards nor could they meet them if they had any. The approved DR petition early makes things even worse.

All I expect Vermont to do is catch up and eventually do away with this ridiculous 5 months + wait.

I am currenly pleased with Vermont, but not overall. They still have a great deal to catch up; July and August are still passed due no matter how many they approve. September and late August should have been getting emails as of today.


I really hope they catch up and fast because i dont know how much more i can wait....im on the verge of moving over thier and saying forget the US

Thanks for all your responses....i saw on VJ that someone sent in an I129F this month and got their NOA2 in 16 days and her fiance is in the same country as mine...im not hating on this applicant believe me im not but i told them about it and how i didnt agree with them getting an approval so soon after i and many people have been waiting 5months+ she said she understood why i would be upset and told me she would put in a service request...she also said she saw my app was only touched once and it wasnt within the last 60 days...so i really hope this is the begining of a fast approval response...



She herself said that she just sent her app in this month...and when i called USCIS i asked if haitians are prioties and they told me no.....like i said i am happy for her i actually wish i had as good luck as she did but its frustrating to see somne people dont have to wait like others....

Just be patient. Waiting is tough, but virtually no one on the initial K1 petition gets denied at the Service Centers. We waited 241 days, close to 8 months. Your time frame should be quicker, but who knows. Good luck.


How many (what percentage) are denied at the consular level?
