WE ARE APPROVED!!! No RFE!!! Haven't checked in a week and sure enough we were approved yesterday. Maybe that is the trick...don't look every 2 hours like I was doing. :) Still keeping all the Marchies in my prayers though.

Ok so I got the notification 15 mins ago, I was with my fiancée . We went just now to a café and I told her even though I was excited that we need to prepare for the worst scenario.. We got hyped up still only to find out we got the RFE notification.

On one side we are bummed out but we are feeling better now as te RFE process is not so long. I'm sure ya something stupid I forgot ( like the rest of the passport
pages) and this should set us back another 3 wks??

WHats the ongoing average on RFEs?

When I responded to my RFE it took around 2 weeks to get approval. So answer it as soon as your receive it in the mail.

When responding to a Request for Evidence it is extremely important that you place the blue coversheet on the top of the response you send to them. The VSC receives thousands of pieces of correspondence each day, if the blue coversheet is not on the top of the response it will be placed in “general” correspondence and NOT sorted as a priority, which may delay your case.

I also used USPS priority mail with tracking for around $2.35. Don't get signiture required.

My first post here, just been waiting, waiting. We filed I-129 March 5, 2012. There is nothing like patience - just received from Vermont Service Center: email at 5:00 p.m. CDT "Your case is now updated. Check "My Case Status" etc: Status updated on USCIS - "Post Decision Activity On September 17, 2012, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I-129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E).
Now on to the next phases. My best to everyone on this enlightening journey!

So, tomorrow after work I'll be leaving for Frankfurt for the interview, which will take place on Friday morning. I hope everything will go smoothly... I hope everyone is doing fine here, despite crappy VSC stuff. I will be thinking of all of you! Wish me luck, I'm getting nervous :blush:

Wish you the best on the interview.

How about we met up in St. Albans, Vermont? ;) Maybe we could have some flashmob kind of thing and hold up signs saying "We've made it here despite you!"

At the least it will make us feel better :devil:

it is very frustrating - but at least, thanks to vj, we already knew what to expect... i don't even want to imagine how those people must feel who don't know about this forum and then call after they hit their 5 months mark, just to be told vermont is still working on january 16th!!!!

Absolutely agree. What a valuable service VJ is providing.

They got their $340 anyway... so no need to hurry! The worst thing is that they don't care about your love and that you miss one another. Unfortunately all they care about are documents and forms filled out correctly :(

Seems that way :help:

NOA 2 Approved!!! "EXPEDITED"

Hello VJ members, this morning I received a text message stating that "my case was updated". A few moments later, I received an email which stated that my petition for the I-129F was APPROVED. Last week I applied for an "expedite service request" due to EXTREME financial hardships. I was initially told that I did not provide enough information in order to determine if I could qualify for an expedite, but after immediately faxing in 16 pages of supporting documentations, I was actually called by an immigration officer from the CSC and told that my case would be examined the next week. WOW, I was both shocked and happy. I learned about the possibility of an expedite service request right here on VJ. We are a community of people who all are looking for the same thing and therefore, need to support and advise one another with regards to information, or even just kind words of support and encouragement. My case was unique (as they all are), but I at least wanted to give something back to this wonderful community because without your help, I would not have my NOA2 at this point. THANK YOU VJ COMMUNITY! Good luck to all of you :-) D.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch (2012) filers...

We did :)

I see you are also at CSC - when did you get NOA1? If you filled in your timeline, you would get an estimated adjucation date. Just checking that out every now and then helped me a lot with the waiting ... Sooo :time:
And waiting I am again, for USPS to deliver my fiancé's papers so that I can send off pack 3 to the consulate.

I agree. Igors list shows a great trend in the right direction as far as the rate for processing at VSC. For that I'm grateful. I'll accept any positive outlook with open arms at this point. It breaks up the monotony of a miserably slow process overall.

Every day is one day closer... :)

It seems that VSC is improving just a bit. But CSC is way ahead.

You can go to the USCIS website to have email and/or text notification when your case status changes. Just set up an account, and they'll notify you. That's how we knew we got approved before receiving the physical copy. You can also change your address online using this website as well. A 'touch' comes from viewing this website if your status change or if your file has been viewed/reviewed or 'touched' because the last date on the case has changed.

Generally speaking that is true but in some instances the website isn't updated and you will receive the hard copy first.

Csc approved an april filer? And vsc is still on jan! I just want to know at what point do they decide to make it remotely fair And send the jan/feb files to csc! Hows CSC going be like 3 months ahead of VSC and it seems like they arent trying to do anything or much to bridge the gap

Totally ridiculous - I am a February filer with NOA1 on 2/8 and still waiting. That means March filers have at least one month more to go - crazy
