thank you


Has USCIS cashed your check yet? Nothing yet here either. Please post when/if they do cash it as we are in the same boat. I am thinking its because of the holidays, maybe its just taking awhile underneath a stack of mail! LOL!

Maybe it's because of all the holidays - xmas and new year's.. I think sometimes they do it fairly quick, some has to wait for 2 weeks.. I suggest if you haven't heard after 1 month, maybe give them a ring?


If I don't have a NOA1 and a case number then it would be useless to call them, I am praying soon it will cash!

just look on the back side of the check for a WAC number, if you don't see it that means it's not there...


That's the problem....its blurry so where the WAC is, I can't see. Is it just a string of numbers, or are there dashes or what??


Mine was WAC XX-XXX-XXXXX, just don't put any spaces or dashes in when you check online at uscis.gov.

QUOTE (helumu1 @ Jan 16 2009, 05:11 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello Everyone!!! I'm new here. I wanted to share our GREAT NEWS with all of you. Our I-129F has been APPROVED!!!! kicking.gif When I opened my email on 01/10/09 and saw that it had been approved I cried. I couldn't believe it. Now what's driving me nuts is that I haven't received the NOA #2 hardcopy by mail yet. We're hoping that my fiance's interview is soon and hope that there won't be any problems. He's a native of colombia and is currently residing in Spain. So we requested an interview in Madrid instead of his native country, hoping that won't cause problems. But, we are anxiously awaiting the moment that my fiance can enter the US and get married. By the way I have 2 boys that are also very excited about all of this.

To everyone who is still waiting, don't lose hope your moment is coming before you know it. It's seems like the california service center approved a lot of cases in January 09. Good month. Pray for us everyone, I'll be praying for all of you.


Here is our timeline: We applied through the California Service Center.

11/07/08: Mailed I-129 F package
11/10/08: INS received package and cashed check
11/13/08: Received NOA #1
01/09/09: I-129F approved through email notification

Thanks to Everyone who have posted and answered questions they helped me out a lot too. heart.gif


Wow Congratulations!!! kicking.gif Was your case expedited? If not, wow that was quick! Congratulations and best of luck!

I was wondering the same thing as I went to university in the US as well.

Thank you!

I have been trying to find my vaccination records so that I can cross reference them with the vaccinations needed to pass the medical exam and make an appointment with my doctor if I need any. I am getting my 3rd Gardisil shot in a week so I need to make sure my doctor records it for me. Other than that just reading up on documents needed for the interview and talking with my fiance (USC) about what he needs to compile after NOA2. I have been keeping busy on VJ as this process is so nerve wracking, but also trying to plan a wedding (LOL...without a date).

More than likely we'll go through the proper steps. We have all the paper work ready to fill out. We are waiting for her to come here in a couple of weeks so that we can fill it out together. We both know people that have gone the route I suggested in my earlier post and it turned out alright for them. I think it probably cost more than it had to tho. We don't want anything to interfer with this and that led to my post. I wanted to get some feed back. So far it has all been helpful.
QUOTE (Wis-Can @ Mar 5 2009, 06:04 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yes, be very careful. You need to take sometime and read through some of the forums on here. You don't want to do anything that could prevent the both of you from being together. We didn't want to take any chances so we are going the K-1 Route. We applied back in September and are now just awaitng our interview date. Which really isn't bad. We've been visiting back and forth while we await the visa. We figured it wasn't a really long wait to do things through the proper channels. This website is a great help! Good luck.



Are you planning to AOS from the U.S or go the K-3 or CR-1 and have her return to Canada?

Ok, we've decided to get married. She lives in canada and I live in the states. We have looked at the process of her becoming a citizen if the U.S. and understand the process. We are thinking about just getting married. She will be here for a few months this summer. So we just get married and hire an attorney to take care of the rest. What consequences are involved by not going through the proper channels. I've been told she may not be allowed back into Canada for a set amount of time. Has anyone done it this way, and if so, what took place. I'd be interested in hearing from you.


If she enters the U.S with the intent to marry that one thing, now with the intent to marry and to adjust status that is fraud. It's all about intentions when you cross the border into the U.S. If you have intentions to marry and then for her to stay in the U.S and adjust status, that is a no-no. Please look into either the K-3 or CR1 visa and she would need to return to Canada after the two of you marry. If you are flexible about when you want to marry then apply for the K-1 fiance visa and she will be able to come to the U.S, marry and then adjust status. It's all about your priorities, as K-1 and K-3 you cannot work after entry into the U.S, CR-1 you can because you will receive a greencard shortly after you enter. Take a look at the guides on VJ as many people have not gone through an attorney and its pretty self-explanatory. Alot of people have had problems when they hired an attorney and it was a waste of money and time.

i see, i understand now...

you could expect probably 2-3 weeks


oh geez, I hope not sad.gif I think if it doesn't come by the end of this week, or beginning of next, and there's no new January approvals, I will probably chalk it up to that the ones already approved have just been lucky. The only reason I asked this question at all is that EVERY single January approval that has gotten the paper NOA2, the USC has been from California, with one exception, and that USC was from Washington. So I highly doubt that those are really the only ones that have gotten approval, because like you said, they just all go in a box, so its unlikely that all the ones close to eachother were all from Cali. My package got to CSC in less than 24 hours, but I sent it overnight express, and I doubt CSC cares enough about any of us to do that haha. My NOA1 arrived over a week after it was issued, so I'm hoping that my NOA2 is still on the way.



you havn't been approved yet, so there is no point in checking your mailbox, according to your timeline:

Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between May 23, 2009 and June 28, 2009*.

QUOTE (spygame @ Mar 17 2009, 12:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My NOA1 is Jan 20. I have been checking my mailbox everyday this week. Hoping for NOA2.


same for you:

Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between May 28, 2009 and July 3, 2009*.


also if you sign up for email notification, you don't have to check your mailbox everyday...


This is the problem, many people have not been receiving email notifications of there NOA2, it just arrives in the mail a week later. As far the the timelines I am not even going by those dates anymore for CSC, if you check Igor's list 50% of December filers have been approved so far, I don't think May-July is accurate for estimated approval looking at that and the most recent December and January approvals. Yes I do believe that I could end up waiting longer and being stuck in security checks but I am being optimistic, and yes I could end up getting left behind while others who filed after me are getting approved, it happens, but again trying to be optimistic with the data that is presented. It is the only way to make it through this process.

I think my new standard of hope is going to be when YOU recieve NOA2, then I can hope i get mine a few days later haha. So if yours could hurry up, that would be great smile.gif hahaha

After a long Monday today I was pleasantly relieved to find a letter from DHS in my mailbox. We got our NOA 2 on March 18, less than 70 days since NOA 1 and without any updates to the electronic notification systems. Not even a single touch since 1/9/09 when they cashed the check.

For what it's worth, I don't care if they don't scan my packet or send me an e-mail, just as long as they keep up the pace at CSC and mail me the NOA 2!


ME too!!! Congratulations!!! Looks like we will go through NVC and Vancouver consulate together!!!

kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif OMG! I am now exhausted from jumping and running around the house for 2 hours calling all I know!!

It began when when I found a lone envelope in my PO Box... and suddenly I see "Dept. of Homeland Security" on the return address... and immediately my heart sank... I just said.. "OH fudge* (the word "fudge" may have been different whistling.gif ) I was thinking... is this a RFE??? what did I forget??? I trriple checked everything!!! I sent more evidence than even the guides say to send... I even start over entire forms if I thought 1 letter could be interpreted as something else!!! then I see the words... "Approval notice" ok... well this is nice... but let's see if the fine print matches what I think that it means...

Then I read "The above petition has been approved...." Then just in case by some random chance I got someone else's mail... I made sure the petitioner and beneficiary's names matched mine and my wonderful soon-to-be wife.... and YES THEY DO!!!!!!!!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif

It was fortunate nobody else was at the post office as I jumped and yelled out in celebration!!!! I never would have dreamed getting it in 43 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

Happy St. Patrick's Day VJers!!!!!!!! Time to enjoy a beer!!!! eb0dfafc.gif





Congrats Mary and Jeff good.gif Get ready for the papers now for the interview coz everything is faster from now on smile.gif


Thanks you... I know.. I used to spend each day trying to learn more about the paperwork until I finally waited on the banking papers, and IRS transcripts since I figured it would be 2 months off... now I am going to be scrambling again!! I won't complain.... it beats doing nothing and waiting anyday!!! smile.gif
