IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2013 I-130 Filers (merged)

Just read this, and I'm soooo angry!! 

 

Hi everyone,
my fiance had sent the I-129F package on September 24. She recieved an email on September 28 that it had been received. 
yesterday she received another email saying the I-129F has been approved. 

On November 15, 2013, 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 at 1-800-375-5283.

we received the confirmation in less than 2 months. That seems faster than normal. Maybe we are lucky. So what do we expect next and what all documents should we gather for the interview?





 

 

Now I don't begrudge this persons speedy approval but I sure as hell expect my husband's petition to be dealt with in the same way!!!!

Your wife can visit if she has a tourist visa. It is unlikely she will get one now if she does not already have it though.

Btw, hi everyone.
 
I kinda disappeared. I had to. Stuff was going on. Being on this board was not helping me mentally. :( Still doesn't probably, but hey, I gotta stop by and say Hi :D
 
Anyway, should I redo/update the list now again?

Unbelievable that there are absolutely NO approvals from Overland Park, disgraceful!

It's hard to keep the faith. My husband and I are in our 60s. We both had been on our own for many years before meeting, while my husband was visiting relatives here in Ireland. It was almost too good to be true! We married 2 yrs later. And now this. We just want to enjoy our later years together, to live a little. We're both young at heart, retired, fit and healthy and have so much to look forward to. We didn't expect this. I just feel depressed.

Do you mean that everything will be done by May? NVC and Interview? I hope that will be the case. cray5ol.gif

June filer here. Nope, still nothing on ours. Although I really don't expect anything until at least January. I still keep checking our status everyday.....just in case. ClockWatch2.gif It's just depressing how long this wait is.....we didn't expect to have to wait this long. Would be even more depressed if we didn't have VJ! At least we can keep ourselves informed.

Can someone explain to me how to link our 129f to our i130 on our timeline.

Everyone needs to check out all the latest posts in the May CR1/CR2 filers thread. Give this your support!

Oh yes, I hope he is right! There are so many different estimates going around VJ, it's so confusing! I guess no-one can know for sure.

My husband has dual citizenship, Irish and American, he was born in Dublin so we could live here. But we want to live in America. But yes, as far as I know, it's easier to get a visa for Ireland. Haven't really done any research on this.

Noel, just out of curiosity: would it be easy for you to bring your husband to Ireland? I've read that EU immigration processes are a lot less taxing and bureaucratic than the U.S. process is and was curious if that's true. Thanks

Actually he's been here 3 times this year already, he has dual citizenship, Irish, born in Dublin, and US. So yes we could live here but we want to live in the US, on the Olympic Peninsula.

I haven't seen my husband since the end of May. He's back here in Ireland for Christmas, for a whole month! Can't wait, its the only thing that keeps me sane! We'll just have to pray for speedy approvals. :)

ro60106, we filed in June, 130 priority date,June 7th, and filed 129 immediately after getting the i 797.

Was just looking at April filers and see that lots of people suggest filing a 129f as approval times for 130s have really slowed down. Although we did file a 129f its not showing on our timeline or Igors list even though I did put the details on when I registered. Can't find how to add it. Can someone help me with this?

Hi sayoran, our dates are the same so I'll be following your timeline closely. As BOS_LHR has pointed out, it's a long haul but you'll find there's lots of support here on VJ. I'd be lost without it. Good luck.

Yes, I've been checking May filers. They seem to be in the same boat as us. Ah well, this coming month should hopefully bring some approvals. Couldn't live without VJ right now. It's keeping me sane, just!

Have any June filers had any movement, touches, anything at all, on their case? Can't wait to see what happens in October after Division 8 opens. So down in the dumps right now.

Can't wait to hear his reply, if you ever get one!! It's all so disheartening. Our 129 will be pending 5 months on 27th November......ranting33va.gif

OMG! I'm furious. What is going on with our 130's?! Can't wait for the results of the results of the AILA meeting! And I'm not lying either. Why would someone go to the bother of registering on VJ to tell lies? So disheartened with this whole process. Thank God we filed the 129 at the same time as the 130. It might just be faster.

RFE is Referral for Further Information. Pre-adjudication is what happens with your case BEFORE it actually reaches the Adjudication Officer. Checks for missing documents etc.

Yes, I believe that both Lees Summit and Overland Park are both NBC's. My 130 is in Overland Pk, according to the i797 and i129 is in Lees Summit. We filed in June.
