Well all you have to do is take a look at the first post in this thread to see what happens when you type faster than you think. "Hellow??!!??!!" I mean come on, I've been spelling that word mostly correct for the last 40 years (mostly). So I'm reminded everytime I check in here of that one (as is everyone else who posts here)

My problem's i'm trying to spell words intuitively.
You have no idea how weird it sounds sometimes: dump - dumb // greatFULL - grateful // mean - meen
I hope people have fun reading my posts once in a while

Add me, add me,
we filed on 31 december, but received the NOA2 on 3rd, i feel better to think i'm early january, than late december

Ha-ha, did you se that?
It must be fate. I wrote NOA2 instead of NOA1.That was on accident

Anyway, you guys are great and I feel our January group benefits from your being counted amongst us.

I'm so greatfull...now i really belong to your group

.That's amazing.
Allright, january filers, who's ready for some CSC move?

Thanks again.

90 days since filing is when you start checking the USCIS website a little more often (like 3 times a week instead of 1 or 2)

make that 7 times...

i know it sounds kinda desperate, but this is how bad i wanna be with my baby!

We had one person a couple weeks back enter her timeline information incorrectly to say it took something like 2 years for her approval - everyone's expected adjudication date increased by a couple of weeks overnight - freaking everyone, including me.

hm...
i saw another funny one:
vina & les introduced the NOA2 date as 2008-04-08 on 2008-04-03

QUOTE (BlakeandOlha @ Apr 11 2008, 06:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The timelines are kinda weird right now. We've had no approvals, yet my anticipated adjudication date has continued to move up. Now I'm at July 2 where yesterday I was at July 4. Go figure. Anyway, if last year is a guide (optimistically stated) this will be the last slow week of the spring holiday season. Next week we shoudl see a significant increase in the number of approvals - this should continue through to the memorial day weekend. According to Igor's list the first January filers are about to crack the 100 mark - which is when I've seen approvals start. The big target is 70 after which I've seen approvals becoming frequent. On occasion the CSC has been able to string together some 30 - 40 approval weeks. So...... even though the slow pace we are seeing right now is depressing, I truely think this is the dark before the dawn.

About the timelines i've been wondering too, and it's still a mistery to me who makes those anyway?
And about the rest...God hear your word! Amin...

Hi

I filed my I-130 on December 28,07 but Chicago received on 01/02/08. On the website of uscis, it states that they are targetting the completion by end of january. Has anyone have received thier NOA1? What will be the processing time for this year? Anyone have any idea? Also, how long would it take to my husband a visa on IR status? Anyone with answers or concers surely helps.
Thanks

processing times update?

QUOTE (Mohgli @ Feb 14 2008, 10:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Folks,
does anyone know what the new Processing Times are for February 2008. I understand the elves are working hard on the northern part of the country vs. the bay surfers, but if you can share your rumours or links would be great.
else its again another update probably at the end of the month - february 28th 2008 just to make sure it comes out before the end of the month.

Processing times for february???
Are you a k1?
february filers are not considered yet...not even october are!
I only saw a few approvals for september,and not all done yet for august...
Plus you can check everyday on visa timelines on the top of the page.It's giving new numbers everyday

Where to have the wedding?

QUOTE (sal0000 @ Mar 12 2008, 03:01 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hello everyone,

I am asking a question on behalf of my aunt. She has a visiting visa for the United States. She has visited the U.S. in the past on that visa. She is now planning on getting married a U.S. citizen who lives in the United States but she is currently in Pakistan. I wanted to know where would be the best place to get married. Does she get married in Pakistan and have her soon to be husband fly there and file the I-130 petition. Or should she enter the United States on the visiting Visa she currently has and then get the wedding done in the United States. If she goes that route will she be allowed to stay in the United States and form will she have to fill out then. Another option I found was to have her enter the U.S. on a finance visa and then get married here but what happens to her visiting visa?....

Sorry guys I have asked a lot of questions here but hopefully I can get some direction. By the way calling the USCIS number just took me to a big long loop hole and doesn't help at all.

Regards,

Salman

if she gets married in the US she'll have to apply for adjustment of status.Than she'll have to proove that her intention wasn't to immigrate and to get married to an american citizen
The k1 fiance visa is easyer to get(must not get married before she enters the US)
If they're getting married in other country but the US, they're going to apply for a mariage based visa K3

Hello guýs.

My boyfriend try to fill out the I-129 F Form for the K1 Visa. Is there anybody who just start too who might can give me some help, try to figure what papers i need. Thank u in advance

Sure, we've just filed the petition.
So this is what you need:

-------------I-129F
------------G-325a
Assembling the I-129F Package: Checklist
Forms and Documents (follow these assembly instructions. All supporting documents must be in English or be translated as noted here.):
1.
Payment as required by USCIS. Use a personal check so you can track the payment. Money Orders are also accepted.

2.
Cover Letter (see example). Should include a description of what your are petitioning for (I-129F), a table of contents (list everything in the packet). If you need additional room to explain your case, attach a separate sheet (list the attachment on the cover sheet). Make sure to sign and date the cover sheet.

3.
Form I-129F: Petition for Alien Fiance(e) (see example)

4.
Declaration of how you met in person in the last two years. This should be a single typed page attachment regarding question 18 of the I-129F. Make sure to sign and date it.

5.
Original statements (from both the US Citizen and foreign fiance) certifying an intent to marry within 90 days of entering the US on a valid K-1. (see example)

6.
Proof of having met in past two years. (click here for examples)

7.
G-325A (all four pages) filled out by the US Citizen signed and dated (see example)

8.
One passport-type photo (see specification) of the US Citizen. Write the full name of the US citizen on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of <Insert US Citizen's Name>". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a.

9.
G-325A (all four pages) filled out by the foreign fiance(e) signed and dated (see example)

10.
One passport-type photo (see specification) of the foreign fiance(e). Write the full name of the foreign fiance(e) on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of (insert foreign fiance(e) name) ". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a.

11.
Copy of the Birth certificate (front and back) for the US Citizen or a copy of ALL pages of the US Citizen's passport issued with a validity of at least 5 years or a copy of the US Citizen's naturalization certificate (front and back). This is used to establish citizenship.

12.
Copy of final Divorce Decree(s) or Certificate(s) for the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance(e) if either has been previously married. If the previous marriage of the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance(e) ended due to the death of their spouse then include a Copy of Death Certificate(s) documenting that fact.

13.
Proof of Legal Name Change if either the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance(e) is using a name other than that shown on the relevant documents. You must give USCIS copies of the legal documents that made the change, such as a marriage certificate, adoption decree or court order.

14.
In regards to Section C Question 2, if applicable provide certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions for any specified conviction(s) (in accordance with the IMBRA). See section 9 of the I-129f instructions for more information.

Documentary Proof of Having Met in Person in the Past Two Years and an Ongoing Relationship:
Use as many of these items are possible. There is no minimum,
but the more you can provide the less likely you are that you will receive an RFE.
1.
Copies of all airline boarding passes, train passes, itineraries, hotel receipts, passport stamps (make sure you can read the dates on the stamps), and other documentary evidence that you have met within the last two years. You may want to highlight or place post-it notes indicating the dates and locations on the copies (to make the adjudication easier) for the person reviewing your file.

2.
Color Photo's of you and your fiance(e) together. Make sure you write your names, date, and location on the back of every photo. Provide two to five photo's. If you only have a single copy of the photo, then make a color copy and send that. If it is a digital photo, have it printed at a company such as kodakgallery.com. You can also make duplicates of photo's at your local photo store (Walgreeens, CVS, etc). Place photo's in a plastic bag or photo sheet and label the sheet. Note that you may not receive originals of photo's back.
Good luck, guys!
