Leo&Farah,

Roland just called USCIS about our address change and they told us to wait our 45 days. Didn't you say that when Leo called, they said that they couldn't verify the address change over the phone. I'm hoping that despite the fact that they said they couldn't do anything, they are still doing something about our case.

Anyway, hope ours will come soon, otherwise, we'll really have to call Sept 11.

TiNa


Seems to depend on who you talk to. When we first called about our address change we were told to send in a letter. So we did. Called today and she said she would 'give the go ahead' to update the address and she did verify that it had NOT been changed yet. To whom she was giving this 'go ahead' to is beyond me as we haven't been assigned to anyone yet apparently. lol

Here's to hoping! good.gif

I think most people wait 120 days before they get their NOA2's. By September 11, it will have been 115, so perhaps there will be better news next week, if not this week.


Yeah I'm almost at 120 days....we called today to see if they updated the beneficiary's (me) address yet as we had sent it in weeks ago. Nope. Nor can we see our status online. They also were kind enough to inform us that our file has not been assigned to anyone yet. I think I must be in the same box as Richard and Joanna's......we got the guy that takes fifty coffee breaks a day. lol

Leo & Farah

Congrats!

I think maybe you are correct Lil'one... but I will wait even more patiently after Sara and Perviz' approval today. In fact, I say that the CSC can take the rest of the week off! smile.gif

But then, I am not at the CSC devil.gif



They could take the month off and I don't think VSC would catch up to them! I have been known to be wrong on occasion though.....lol

We've got new updates from USCIS is now saying processing time for I-129F 5 months kicking.gif kicking.gif let's hope that they hold to this information.

Please help yourselves and check it out, maybe I am too desperate to get my NOA2 that I can't see straight!! LOL

That's very good news! If that's the case, then I imagine there's a good chance that we'd be approved in 4 months (September in our case), which makes a December visa much more likely good.gif



Yeah I'm hoping the NOA2 comes quickly because Montreal is taking forever to book interviews.

Yeah it says as of June 30,2009 .....much better then the December, 2008 they had posted before. I believe their goal was to have them processed in 5 months so at least they are finally hitting it.

Oh my gosh thats so cool!
I was thinking of going to visit my Fiancee in Port St Lucie, as we will be living there togehter soon (hopefully...Probaly not that soon...). Let me know how customs and all goes smile.gif. I imagine with my 13 previous visits they probally wouldent let me in anyway smile.gif



I'm from Canada and I've never had a problem crossing the border yet. Although I've read that some customs agents are 'uninformed' and don't think you can cross with a K1 in process and some are just plain asses. So one never knows. I'm not sweating it though. The kids and I were there in March...if the plan was to stay we wouldn't have left. We lived together for years and traveled to the US together frequently. Anybody with any common sense can see that we would have every reason NOT to stay and every reason to come back to Canada. We've been playing by our respective Gov't's 'rules' for years now. I have to attend my niece's wedding next month and then we are leaving after that. About a month and hopefully this month goes FAST!

Long story short ...we met...he moved here and we lived together for over 3 years...he had to go back for reasons beyond our control and now we've been apart since Oct 1. It sucks.

Hey everyone!

Word is out that a fellow May filer just got approved in 22 days and it wasn't an expedite! Perhaps cases aren't processed on first-come-first-served basis and gives us all a glimmer of hope for what could be.

So...hang in there. We'll make it! yes.gif

Take care,

Yeah I seen that. Crazy eh? 22 days.....lucky #######! I'm just hoping that means they have all of March, April and May out on peoples desks and not in a closet somewhere. Maybe that guy just started at the wrong end of his pile. lol

Well, They are approving people from later Januray and early February (from VJ at least), but the only thing is that if someone wants to complain to USCIS they'll thell them that they are still processing November. Also, did you notice that they changed I-130 to 5 months instead of 6 months...so hopefully next report I'll show a better outcome...for us VSC people.



Yeah I was looking at that too but its "as of: April 30, 2009" they were working on Nov 25,2005......thats a month and a half ago and means their processing date was actually less then the 6 months that they had posted before.

Hello everyone,

just wanted to let you know that my Petition got approved! We requested an expedite for military purposes and we hadn't heard from them since then. My fiance called USCIS and they said not only the expedite was approved but also the I-129F Petition, it's on NVC now. We didn't receive our NOA2 hard copy (what's new?) but that's not our concern right now, we are so thrilled we got approved.

I know it doesn't sound "fair" to be pushed to the front of the line when there are people from 2007 that haven't been approved but I hope you all get approved within the timelines and you have a nice short and smooth journey. Thank you for all the help and good luck!

Oh, and I'm not leaving this topic anytime soon! kicking.gif

Welcome smile.gif I'm also from Toronto area and my SO is from Tampa. We got our NOA1 on May 5th. We'll probably be completing this process on the same timeline and might even end up interviewing in Montreal at the same time. Maybe we should car pool...I think there is a few more Toronto area people....LOL!

Hmm...we've got to be the quietest group there is! Anyway, just checking in and seeing how everyone is coping. Hopefully we'll all be able to be with our fiance(e)s before December!


I know we are quiet on here....I'm going to start posting daily just to keep us on the first page! lol
I am hoping we can be married by december at the latest.


Yeah, I think December would be a reasonable assumption. We actually planned to have a December wedding, and I'm hoping that we will be able to pull that through *fingers crossed!*


Well, that's taking into account the Montreal consulate moves faster than it's moving now! I've been following that and it's not looking pretty, but hopefully that will change when it's our turn.


I know I've been following that as well and frankly its BS. People in 3rd world countries are getting their interview within weeks and we're waiting 3 or more months just to get SCHEDULED???? Thats nuts. If they are so understaffed....HIRE some people or let some of the other consulates handle some of them. There's a US consulate in Toronto...why can't they process the k-1's? Its just plain ridiculous.


Here in Brazil we have 1 embassy and 3 other consulates (as well as offices around the country) and only the Consulate in Rio de Janeiro processes K1's. So instead of going to the consulate in Recife that is a 3 hour drive away from me, I have to fly all the way down to Rio (which is about 2000 miles away from here) to have my interview. Pathetic, I know.



Yeah they do the same to us to in Canada. Only Montreal and Vancouver do K-1's and only Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto do medicals. So depending on where you live you may have to do some serious traveling for not just one but BOTH. I am luckily near Toronto so the medical part won't be too bad.

Maybe I read this wrong ( I hope I did anyway ) ... but are you saying people in 3rd world countries should not be approved as fast or as timely as other countries?

Each consulate is obviously different on how they process cases and how fast they are able to process them .... maybe I just misread what you were trying to say ....


Seriously? Thats what you got out of that rant? That I'm picking on 3rd world countries? Gimme a break.

I'm saying Montreal is ridiculously slow. Its not fair that ANY country get approved faster then others. Maybe you should try to not take offense so easily. I also think vermont and California shouldn't be so way off from one other either. That doesn't mean I think the OTHER half of the USA should get theirs slower then me either.

The number of our petition is correct, it also starts with EAC and several numbers following that. Just does not seem to work. I've tried creating an account to have email notifications as well but apparently you can't as long as you're not in the system (doh) but it was worth trying.


Yeah, I heard from one CSC filer that the USCIS system is messed up. They called and were told that we probably won't ever find our cases online. Oh well...I suppose this teaches us to be patient??


Despite the slowdown, I'm still hopeful that my visa will be approved by October. That is what I saw from the May timelines last year. I'd love to not to have to spend another crazy winter in Toronto! unsure.gif


Hey May filers!

We've been pretty quiet lately. Just looked at the timelines, and it's looking good. Perhaps we can all get approved by September and get our visas by October *fingers crossed*.

Oh Lord please have me outa here before the snow flies! lol Actually I really hope that I don't have to make that trip to Montreal in the snow. I will not miss Canadian winters and driving in the snow.


Yeah, tell me about it! The winter weathers are unpredictable in Toronto. I'll actually be moving to Indianapolis where the weather is much warmer and more predictable! Anyway, good luck to all of you and keep in touch!



I'm also in the Toronto area, lovely weather we are having right now isn't it? Where the hell is spring? I had to turn the heat on yesterday....June 1st and had the furnace on.....crazy.


Yup, it's crazy weather, alright! But of course, what do you expect from Toronto? It snowed in June a couple of years back!

Well from what I've been seeing CSC seems to be a month ahead of VSC.

The number of our petition is correct, it also starts with EAC and several numbers following that. Just does not seem to work. I've tried creating an account to have email notifications as well but apparently you can't as long as you're not in the system (doh) but it was worth trying.


Yeah, I heard from one CSC filer that the USCIS system is messed up. They called and were told that we probably won't ever find our cases online. Oh well...I suppose this teaches us to be patient??


Despite the slowdown, I'm still hopeful that my visa will be approved by October. That is what I saw from the May timelines last year. I'd love to not to have to spend another crazy winter in Toronto! unsure.gif


Hey May filers!

We've been pretty quiet lately. Just looked at the timelines, and it's looking good. Perhaps we can all get approved by September and get our visas by October *fingers crossed*.

Oh Lord please have me outa here before the snow flies! lol Actually I really hope that I don't have to make that trip to Montreal in the snow. I will not miss Canadian winters and driving in the snow.

Tom your biggest wait that you may need to mentally prepare yourself for is how long things are held up by the chinese consulate, they don't let people go lightly over there so it may take you a few more weeks then others to schedule an interview. I hope that for you this is not the case.

Chris and I picked up a marriage license on Monday, and then removed our K1 application on Tuesday from USCIS. Our intention is to get married over the weekend and file our CR1 for the USA (which we are apparently allowed to expedite according to the Chief of Staff at USCIS) and our Spouse visa for Australia at the end of next week.

Thank you all for the support in here, and if you want I can keep you updated as to how we end up, but otherwise drop into the August 08 file or 6 month filers where I will keep everyone updated.

Good luck to everyone on their journeys and I hope that nobody gets caught up in one like mine (as interesting as this story is going to be for our kids one day its not a whole lot of fun to live).


I wish you the best of luck, Mara. Hopefully they do allow an expedite... or that Australia goes quickly for you. It's been far, far too long for you both.

-

Far as I'm concerned, this wait is most painful now. The consulate has our packet 3, and it will sit there for another 4-6 months while we wait for an interview to filter through the backlog. Knowing that we are simply waiting for a date - no RFE, nothing else - is hardest, I find.


Yup I hear you...this is supposed to be the fast part of the process. Montreal has been getting slower and slower since we started this process. Even more difficult watching other Consulates hand out interviews in 2 weeks.

Mara I hope you get pleasently surprised and it gets expedited through so quickly it makes your head spin....you guys deserve it!

No news at us, we are currently looking at withdrawing our visa application getting married and applying for a spouse one, big over the whole process now to be honest.



Monday will be 5 months for me...I honestly don't know how you've guys have managed thus far. I can't believe that even with a court order you have to go through this sh*t!

Still praying for you....

After touch yesterday I got another touch this morning. Wonder what would that be ???? Anyone had 2 touches and then what ? Blank or RFE or Approval ?


You've asked the same question on 4 different threads...maybe you should just start a new topic instead so a wider variety of people would see it.

Thank you all for your kind words I really wish they had to experience what we are going/have gone through, might make them do their jobs right for once... Hopefully Thursday will be a better day for us, otherwise we may be moving to australia or more likely Canada were at the very least we can both get work visas to be together.....



I hope you get this over with soon and don't have to relocate to a new place to finally be together. Although...Canada is a fabulous place to live as well wink.gif
