Received the actual NOA2 in the mail today. It says the information will be sent to the consulate listed. However, there isn't a consulate listed...Is that a problem? I assume not, since they know what consulate based on the forms....just overanalyzing

Thank you! These forums help lower the frustration level and provide perspective when you think no one else understands the waiting...

Just hoping the rest of the process moves quickly too - wedding date set for May 3rd - ambitious!
Whatever happens, happens - may end up being just a religious ceremony!

RECEIVED THE EMAIL THE PETITION WAS APPROVED ON JANUARY 28th!!

Although i'm relieved to have received the approval, feel somewhat guilty that earlier filers are still waiting...So, I will keep my fingers crossed for them, and keep them in my prayers...

October Vermont filers have been lucky!

When did a status check they indicated the petition was received on October 16th...However, it was received on October 4th at VSC?? Oh well, at least some sign of life....

Anyone else experienced that kind of delay?

Just the beginning....

Anyone else petitioning from North Carolina?

After calling the customer service number, really nothing can be done until 4 weeks have passed and haven't received any information...

I'm going crazy, considering the petition was received 2 weeks ago today....And it seems like Vermont is sending out NOA1s for cases received last week!?

I hope not i hope it speeds up, someone said that VSC recived 200 new employees so may they can get with it



VSC received my I-129F on October 4th and signed for by A. Scot.

Still haven't received any information from VSC???

Does VSC have a specific number to call in order to check on status or just call the general info. number?...Seems like petitions received after mine have already been given NOA1s?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

The 1-129F package was signed for on October 4th at VSC and haven't received any information, and my check wasn't cashed...

Should i be concerned? And I suppose it's too early to contact anyone at the VSC, right?

Any feedback is appreciated...

Thanks for starting an October forum. good.gif

Sent out the I-129F on October 1st to VSC and it was received on Oct. 4th...Still no word regarding the NOA1 but promised myself not to worry!

This forum serves as a great support group for all of us separated from our loved ones. sad.gif

Hopefully something will arrive in the mail today!

QUOTE (fourjudge @ Mar 3 2009, 04:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Today is 160 days for us since NOA1 and have heard nothing since...not even a touch. When I look at Igor's list, I see there are many that are older than mine, but I dont know if they are just not updated or not. The average NAO1 to NAO2 is 137 days as of today according to VJ. Trying to get a feel if I should be getting concerned or not yet.
BTW...Congrats to all that have NAO2...I see many are gtting through VSC in 3-4 months!!


Today, we hit day 195. No touches. Nothing since the NOA1 way back on August 21, 2008.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2008 Filers
I wanted to finally say hello to all of the August 2008 filing folks.

I registered for VJ a long time ago and have since forgotten my usernname, password, etc. I didn't feel like going through the hassle of retrieving it, because all of my attempts to do so have failed. Oh well.

Anyway, I'm here now under a different name, but on Igor's List I am Ram?n & Jennifer or Jennifer and Ramón depending on which one you look at.

So, here are all of my questions I've been wishing I could ask the whole time while I was reading all your posts and following your journeys. I was never able to post due to the usernname issue, but I'm ready to go now, so . . .

1. What's the deal with the TWO Igor's Lists? http://cse.ssl.berke...vjdata/vsc.aspx and http://www.visajourn...l...=2&sortby=2

2. All those folks who are still awaiting their NOA2, how do you handle it? We received our NOA1 on August 21, 2008, and I am consumed by thoughts of the ever elusive NOA2.

3. Even though I'm a late comer to the club, will you all accept me? I'm also going to hang out with the sad crowd in the 6+ month area.

I just noticed last night that our number on the Berkeley website is #109 and the link from here to Igor's list shows us as #201. They can't both be correct. Anyone else notice this?


I have noticed these two lists as well. I also posted a question about it, but no one responded. I'll bump up your post, so perhaps we will both get our question answered.

How did you accomplish making a service request?


I called USCIS, checked on the status of the petition, and then I selected option 3 (I think that is it) to report a problem. I was then able to speak with a customer service representative to report that our petition is outside of processing times. I hope this information helps.

Funny I just posted a new one today for the same as this one but anyway VSC just changed it to 6 months today
so that puts anyone older than September 17th out of date
my date is Aug 5th I'm calling them in the morning even with my RFE I'm still out of date.

I have had no RFEs and no touches. I called yesterday to make a service request regarding being outside of processing times.

Can you please let us know what, if anything, you were able to accomplish by calling USCIS this morning? Good luck!

No, VSC was previously showing May 12, 2008 (or so).

USCIS reported this change today. As per USCIS information (see link posted in my original post), "when applications and petitions are completed without our target timeframes, those timeframes will be shown (example: 3 months). If we are not meeting our target timeframes a date will be shown (example: April 16, 2008)."

As of last month, I-129F petitions were not beign completed within their target timeframes, hence a date was showing on the table. Now, however, the 6 month target timeframe is being shown.

I just made a service request with USCIS. We are officially outside of processing times. I hope this information helps some of the folks who are still waiting for the NOA2.

This is the best gift ever. I had the most difficult midterm exam today, I just got home tired and angry about my test so I decided to check my email and go to bed. To my surprise, God has taken the sadness, tiredness and anger away with the best news I have been waiting over 6 months for:

On March 17, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.


Good luck to everyone waiting!!!! I will keep all in prayer.


Congratulations on your NOA2. I love to see other August filers get their approvals. I'd love to be next . . .

I would suggest you contact the Parish priest you plan to mary at and ask him, there is some variance in how different diocese do things.

PhilippinesCrazy story if you didn't see it.

I saw that on TV it was from locked up abroad

This story is one of the few exceptions, it seems like most segments are people running drugs..... ending up in a heIIhole.

How could anyone be so stupid?

I asked myself.... "how much would it take" for me to risk it?

A: no amount.

Money does not improve life enough to make it worth the risk.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsShould I start to worry?
On may 10th I sent my K-1 package in to the TEXAS service center.
I noticed my check was cashed on the 18th.
I have not heard anything yet.
Should they send me a email or letter?
It seems most people got this first NOA within a few days.
I tried to decipher the numbers on the back of the check to search my case at the web site but none seemed to have the typical "three letters and then a number"
Even though the computer printout is not all that clear I still cannot find any 13 digit row of Numbers. Some more , some less.

Any ideas on what I do?
0MaleRussia2007-06-02 16:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI think I should call someone

If the check has been cashed then you know they received your application. This is a long process and there is a lot of waiting involved.
Since your application has to be transferred from Texas to California it takes a couple weeks for them to issue NOA1 and then a few days for the mail to deliver it.

===================
Thanks for your input.
I can understand what you are saying but..... why is it every one elses time line, only shows a few days between receiving the package to getting a first notice?
In my case it has been weeks.


After giving the lady on the phone all my info, I failed to ask if there was a way she could locate my "Number" so I could track it on line, the back of my check had no such number.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI think I should call someone
Well I called and was a little surprised I got through in less than a minute (after the promts),
I gave my info to a lady who did a "request of service" over the phone.
She said it would be forwarded to my service center with a "target date" which is more than a month and a half away!
Yikes! Most peoples cases I have watched, sent there 1-129 and they received their first notice withing a few days, to only check why I have not received mine could take two months or more.
It's not looking good.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsGetting Discouraged
You are not alone,
My check was cashed on the 18th of may and I have not heard anything from them by mail or e-mail.
I called but that was not very helpful as the lady took my info and said the "target date" to answer my inquiry was 8 weeks.
I called back again to try to get my case number (it was not clear or present on the check) and was told they don't have that info.

At least in my case my check was cashed but all I can do is wait and hope my package is not off in a corner somewhere.
0MaleRussia2007-06-15 23:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsquite upsetting
My check was cashed may 16 but I have not seen any No1 yet.
I called and they wrote up an "inquiry" which had a target date
of 8 weeks to get back to me.
:blink:

If I were you I might call and ask for an inquiry also.
8 weeks is a long time to wait for an answer but better
to start that clock sooner rather than later.
