Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Have you done any service requests after 5 monthes mark?


thanks..no we didn't request any service...we were just waiting impatiently.. but what happen to our case was after 5 months mark we received this noa1 of I-129f dated aug 18 (coz we file for k3 visa, and we sent both I-130 and I-129f at the same time on march 25, so its a lil bit complicated) and after received the noa1 i've noticed that they touched our case 4 times in a row.. and finally got approved..so i don't really know what to expect coz i've heard that if both petition is in nvc they will close the k3.

we got touched twice in a row on our I-129f and in our I-130 08/25...i hope we will have good news soon.

A series of touches in a row usually indicates case will be complete soon. That said some people receive their approval or denial without any touches.

If called for only status update, beneficiary and petitioner can call. All they ask to verify who you are is simply nothing. Just give them a case number and they’re happy to spout of what’s in front of them, on their screen. For anything more involved, only a petitioner can call.


ok..thanks indigo..hope it's gonna be approved soon

Did u call USCIS and tell them or ask them what is going on?


no, not yet..i'm kinda scared to call them..i don't want to irritate them or piss them off.. i just checked the uscis website and i got a touched 8/24..

Russ- Any news on the I-130?

I hope that tomorrow will bring much happiness to at least one person on here! :thumbs:


There's no news on our I-130 but what we got instead is I-797c of our I-129f yesterday..we're thinking maybe they set aside our application for 5 months coz they probably didn't know what to do with it because we sent them tons of papers at the same time?. We sent both I-130 and I-129f at the same time and we only received the I-130 NOA1...i dunno what 's going on now and what to expect.. coz we thought we're gonna be on cr1 route..(sigh) does it mean that since we just got the noa1 of I-129f that we have to wait for months to get noa2? even if they received our papers on march 15?

we just received a I-797c notice of action for I-129f.. it's weird coz the received date is march 15 and the notice date is aug. 18.. it's really complicated coz we sent our I-130 and I-129f at the same time.... i thought we're gonna be on the cr1-route but now that we received the notice for I-129f it seems like we're gonna be on k3 route? i'm really confused now.. i thought we're gonna be on cr1 route.. don't know what to do

Start calling ur Senators office for help n also call uscis for more info. I will be at 5 months in 10 days so will start calling as well. Already contacted Senators office now just waiting


Ok, thanks.. i will be calling them.. i think that's the best thing to do.

Ok, thanks.. i will be calling them.. i think that's the best thing to do.

it's really frustrating :( huhuhu.. i was looking at Igor's list and we're the only person with NOA1 date of March 23 who never got an approval :crying: does this mean that there's something wrong with our application? or did they forget about us? I'm really freaking out... it's been 5 months and we never heard anything from uscis...should i call and ask? or it's not gonna help :(

Good morning everyone I did not update yesterday i had no heart to come on and see more approvals this is killing me just insane went to the mail and got nothing omg when the hell is it coming this is not right anyway i am hoping today again like everday have a good day


i agree with you marie_yahya...it's really not right..it's so unfair most of the march filers already got their approval..and we're left behind..the more time it took it's becoming more painful.. i hope the uscis won't prolong the agony..its been too much time :( what's going on? i hope we get lucky today

i'm just wondering if it is okay to call the uscis inquiring about the application even if you're not the petitioner? or it really has to be the petioner?

that is all we can do but the best thing about waiting is we have so many families on here that help us when it is good or bad and we make eachother feel better about things so this is all we can do is be patient even when we complain or worry about it

hi wasmah our timeline is about the same.. we got our noa1 of I-130 on march 25th...actually we filed for k3 but we send all of our documents at one time (the I-129f, I-130, g325 and other supporting documents) and we only get the noa1 of I-130 and it looks like we're gonna follow the cr1 path since no I-129f notice..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI need help!.. feeling hopeless

sERIOUSLY Im shure your husbands like a guy 40 years and up...

The qualifications are like 30000 thousand a year to 40000 a year.. as like as you dont have many dependants..

why is it hard for you to qualify.. cause now im getting worried... i make 48g a year.. and im shure your husband makes more... how is it you need a co sponsor?? Do they check your credit??? Do they see if you have debt?? whats the deal?


thanks for the reply...the deal is he's been out of work for a few years trying to get his mom back on her feet. she had a car accident long time ago... her leg was amputated so he is helping her for a long time. Her mom promise us that she is going to help us with our papers and we will take good care of her. she just didn't really kept her promise...so now we are in the middle in all of this mess.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI need help!.. feeling hopeless
hello VJ's,

I'm feeling really hopeless right now regarding our visa. We are having trouble finding a co-sponsor,. No one in my husband's family would want to help us with our case. My husband's mother was suppose to be our co-sponsor but after she broke her hip, she has really been difficult and having all kinds of anxieties. When my husband came back here, his mom couldn't take it. It was like she keep him for years away from us and she's scared of him to go. Recently, she is put into a nursing home and my husband is worried about her being. (it's really kinda a long story to tell and more complicated)
It has been tough for all of us (especially to our daughter growing up without her dad) because we have been away from each other for two years. it has been horrible to be apart for that much time. He came back here Nov. 2012 (this time without his mom) and spent Christmas, new year and valentines day together. Now, Im scared of what is going to happen next, I can't see myself thinking of what my daughter would feel like if her dad will go back home without us. It has been a heartbreak for me from what i can remember. I have genuinely concern for my daughter, i don't want her heart to break. My husband can't stay here for too much time because he needs something to support us and there is no way for him to find a living here with a different language.
I don't really know what to do and what is best... thanks for taking time to read this. your response is greatly appreciated.
