Hi Everyone,
well im just curiuos the processing time shown on USCIS website is showing April15th 2008...so it mean people like us who have applied in Nov 2008 will have to wait for nine months..My fiance is in Iraq he cannot go to the phones tht often to call and check...so please if you have info about how long it takes frm NOAC1 to NOAC2?
wht USCIS has written is it true , or has there been people who hv go their petitions approved just like iam reading on VJ Website?
How long do you think it will take for our petition to get accepted?
I will appreciate all comments ..
please drop a line ..
Blessings n Wishes to all who are waiting to be joined with their loved ones..
I miss my Soldier boy....

God bless


On the USCIS website it also states that this is as of 30 Nov 2008, so I take this to mean that as of Nov 08 they were processing April 08 applications - so 7 months. Correct me if I'm wrong! unsure.gif Hopefully they will update it soon for 31 Jan 2009, so we can see if this has improved or not...



well before joining this site i also thought tht i have to wait for soo many months or may b it is wrongly dated on their website..Now i think USCIS is workin on august , sept n october applications...may b they do it cause they dnt wnt people to keep on bugging them....

Thnks ..
yea waiting is what we are doing ...and being patient...
was just thinking why VSC is taking soo long cause my fiance called and they said it may take 9 months which is kind of long ...
Best wishes to all


Becky. VSC quote 9 months to cover their backs. You will likely find the NOA 2 will take 5-6 months and then there is the additional time on top for forwarding to NVC and then onto the embassy.

Sadly it is a wait situation. We all understand how hard it is to be apart from our loved ones. And can appreciate you miss your fiance. But there isnt a lot that can be done unless you fall under an expedite situation.

Lets just do some hoping that VSC hurry up and approve those people who submitted their petitions before us November filers......

It'll be over soon, and you and your fiance will have forever together :-)



Hey ,
Thankyou soo much for encouraging words...
as i see VSC has approved 3 or more of November applications so hopefully all of us who are waiting will hear from them ...we can just pray and wait patiently...
Iam soo happy my fiance is going bk to US after his 15 months deployment in Iraq...so cant wait to see him....
As I have been going through this site i can see tht VSC is doing a good job in 2009...i hope they continue to do that..

Wishing tht waiting time will be soon over for all of us...
Keep smiling .....

wishing you a good day ....

Remember how we couldnt check our case online? well I decided to try it just for the hell of it again today and as usual, I was expecting an error message when I had to literally do a double take when I read this:

Receipt Number: EACXXXXXXXXXX
Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)
Current Status: Approval notice sent.
On February 23, 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.

Woohooo!!! We finally got our NOA2!!!

Now in addition to Richie's employment dilema....I was wondering if this is going to affect my visit to the states next week??? I know I was fine going thru POE last November after receiving the NOA1..but unsure now that there's an actual approval on the system???

CSC really is moving fast...several November filers are already being approved!! blink.gif


It's making me c-rayyyyyzeh thinking about it.

Grrrrrrrrr!!!! Bad David, for not living in a CSC state!!!!!! Ya know, i haven't read a book since I met Dave. It's not a social sport you can do on the phone and I talk to him from when I finish work till when I go to bed. I cant wait till I am in his company all the time and am able to read a book....!!!!!!!!!


Well at least we have a bit of hope now that a November filer got approved...hang on there and hopefully it wont be too long before you're able to start reading your books again biggrin.gif


Oh gawd...i really forgot how much i enjoy reading! Lil ray of hope. I see all these Nov filers getting approved and a lot of them have been praying. I'm thinking about taking it up....only myself and my SO are both athiests.......so i dont think it will work.

I think i'll just do the waiting inline thing, hoping by some fluke a VSC worker bypasses the rest of the Aug, Sept, Oct filers and gets to me hee hee.... devil.gif

Ok, I take that back. I do have a sense of karma about things and I dont think the above statement is going to help matters smile.gif


laughing.gif dont worry...I'll do the praying for you on your behalf....as for me, im still constantly checking the "approximate" approval date for me even though I can exactly have my xray until after the baby's born...so im probably looking at moving to the states around October...if I dont spend Christmas here with the fam..

I think im reading this wrong but is this referring to me?? If so, I havent been approved yet but another November filer from vermont's been approved already...apologies in advance if im being nosey!



oh so sorry no this was a reply for "englishfamily" sorry am not very used to this site, chose the wrong Reply button, hehe. But we wish you the best of luck also! take care. M&H innocent.gif

hi My fiance filed petition in oct bt we gt the reciept in november 2008..so we r jst waiting , hw did u find ur adjudicated date, i want to find ours..yea i agree its a long waiting...


First of all welcome to the November thread..If you fill in your time line you will be able to look up your approximate adjudication date. You can find this by clicking on "My timeline" and scroll down to the bottom and it should say there. To get to "My timeline" I usually just go into the tope left of the page where it says "Logged in As..." and once u get to your page you should see "My timeline" on the left hand side...My mind's pretty clouded at the moment so sorry if im confusing you!

hey thanks..i will try it right nw, i have jst come bk from china , i was working there and my fiance is in Iraq, bt he is going bk to Hawaii next month..we got engaged in april bt we waited till oct to file the case, cause of him being in iraq till feb n then i wanted to complete my contract n comitment with the org...now iam waiting ....i dont know wht i should do, as the USCIS is telling it may take 9 months jst for approval...wht do u think abt what the site has been showing?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAffadavit of Support
Hello! I am going to be needing an affadavit of support form. My wife does not have a job so she can not supply suffiecient documentation for me. What options do we have? Her family members have rejected to sponsor me due to feeling as if the government will have them under privacy lock and key and all of their privacy would be exposed. They feelt his way because I am from an Islamic country and they feel the government wll double exammine all behavior of them for the next few years due to signing the affadavit of support for me. She has asked all of our mutual and non-mutual friends and nobody has been caring enough to support us. So, what are our options? I do not want to get approved in the next few weeks and not have a sponsor when the time comes. Very worried here because I know the approval is not far from now. Any information you provide to me, will be highly-appreciated!

Hey guys sorry I have been outta touch for a while.
So the story is we entered Chicago POE on Sept 20th. It was a really smooth breeze. Barely even two mins. They just took the documents given by the embassy and we were through and out. Its been a week now, and still no signs of the green card in the mail so of course the wait has not ended. But life is good.

Best of luck to all of us.

I read in another post that AP for K-1 takes longer than K-3? Is that true?... I think not because they are both in the IV category, only difference is the AOS and Green Card is produced for K-3... any say on this?

Mine is taking loger maybe cuz i have lived in the US(no overstay) and thats why they are running the FBI check, which takes about 90 days.When u apply for FBI report it takes 3 months to get it so i guess for DOS its the same .My interview was on July 14th 2009 and CO told me most 6 weeks.... i m still waiting anxiously and counting days.....hoping for the best.

w

Omark - my hubby lived in US too, no overstay either, however his AP last only 38 days as waitingforapproval's hubby. same interview date same AP time. only difference is they didn't keep my hubby's passport at the interview.

Truly interesting. Did not know citizens would fall into the AP category as well.
However....as long as the process is quick and speedy, i don't think anyone would have a problem.
Its just the lengthy waiting period that we all dread.
Otherwise its a piece of cake.

We made reservations through Gulf Air for the 19th of Sept. So hopefully once the passport is in hand we will get the tickets issued. POE will be chicago, IL our trip is kinda cool, we fly out here on the 19th and land in Bahrain at around 845 AM. The next connecting flight is like 12 hours later at 130 in the morning...(night). Gulf Air has arranged a hotel stay for that day and since My sister lives in Bahrain we will get to hang out with her as well. Then fly out to UK and then to home sweet home!

Yes Ramadan Mubarak to you too Lonely Heart and all Muslim VJers!

MZJ - although AP is shorter and quicker for a K3 and like waitingforapproval said that greencard is given earlier on CR1, I have heard of a few cases where the applicant is put on another AP after entering the US and at the time of adjusting status from a K3. so in the end its about the same.

Waitingforapproval - so ummm, yeah I called yesterday and spoke to Sarah! Now I know what you are talking about! Gosh, she is an angel and the sweetest person in immigration yet! She said we are in final review as well and we should be hearing from the embassy soon for a call for the passport!! GRIN! I still couldn't believe my ears so of course I called again a little while later and the guy was like AP pending with an attitude. So i said well, I was told his case is in final review is this right, and he was like yes. I said what's next he goes nothing...just wait!
So i was like yeah ok...same to you "*£&%*"!
