Honestly, I would say there isn't any logic to the random way that they are processing things, as we are an example of placing our I-129f in late January and receiving our interview in September. Nice letter though. I hope things go better for you which I'm sure they will. In the end we sorta just let things move it's course (with prayer) and suddenly it arrived.
As to the wedding we're planning ours days after her flight: buying her dress, the cake, the rings, a romantic wedding in the park with a horse led carriage: not many people, as that all our friends understand this 5 year journey we've walked and are simply thrilled it's coming to a reality.

I came home today, about 6pm and checked the USCIS site on our file. Nothing changed. Near about 9pm I checked my email and noticed a strange email from CRIS [USCIS-CRIS@dhs.gov]. I paused about 30 seconds and uttered a prayed. I opened and read...

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On July 6, 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.

If you have questions or concerns about your application or the case status results listed above, or if you have not received a decision from USCIS within the current processing time listed*, please contact USCIS Customer Service at (800) 375-5283.

I can't believe it! It's finally happened and I'm utterly shocked. Curiously I went to the USCIS site and sure enough they had updated our profile. wow.gif

Hmm, now that we'll be approving our own 129's I'm thinking back to 1903 when my family immigrated to the US. I don't think my great grandfather was waiting on a reply, he bought passage and came. Seems the more simplified has become the most complicated.

Just relax folks. I know it's tough but it will happen. Each and every day you wake you are one day closer to being united. Waiting builds character and strengthens your relationship in ways that will last a lifetime.
Anyway, we have an accountant at the company I work for, that often does works at night like this when she is home. Records are stored on a server and she processes billings via the intranet. Perhaps they have a system as such.

When your files are moved you will be notified by immigration. For instance you received information concerning your NOA1. This is being touched.

Hmm, not certain but I believe that you have six months from the date of the embassy's approval to bring your fiancee to the US and then 90 days to marry. After this you must resubmit an I-129f. I would suggest contacting an attorney to verify this and then consider your options.

I would be willing to hedge that it is based upon the averages of those that post their results in their timeline. Although I have seen my expected date draw nearer I have yet to see it reverse. The reverse would be the average of RFEs reported; which would increase the overall adjudication of those cases yet to be heard. These dates could be based upon those in 2008 or 2009.

If you can be there, especially if you are allowed in for the interview, that will be a nice plus as brother TBone has stated.

Giving them nothing but mushy love letters isn't the best thing. People don't speak that way all the time. Better to show some typical "how was your day?", etc. Chat transcripts are also good for this. Give an array of email and chat from the beginning of your relationship until present.

The phone logs are the important thing. Used cards do not prove anything.

I am curious.....how many of you have been present to the interview??



The USC is not allowed to the interview in Moscow.


Please clarify this statement about the USC in Moscow. Thanks

Hello,


Me and my SO are filling for the K-1 at the end of the month (Can't wait!)


However, being the paranoid type, I like to read ahead....wayyyy ahead. And I noticed for when you get the NOA2, they request more proof of an ongoing relationship...only this time it's from NOA1-present. I MIGHT be going to visit him within that time frame (Will have photo's and such if I do), but if I don't...we don't really have much proof. I talk to him over the internet, using a program called Ventrilo (basicly an online phone)....so there's no phone bills, or emails really, because we are ALWAYS talking on that program. Unless we are at work, we text. Will that suffice?


Thanks smile.gif


It is not paranoid to plan ahead. But I believe you have mis=read something. They do not ask for proof of ongoing realtionship with the petition (I-129f) though some people choose to send it. The I-129f asks for evidence of meeting in person one time in the last two years, that is all. Proof of ongoing realtionship will be asked for at the visa interview. Have some.

You will need to do SOME of your communication by a means that generates evidence, phone calls, emails, etc. Even a pen and paper and postage stamps.



May i ask....... would it help if they )or me and my Fiance) set up a bank account togethar after filing the I-129F?? i find myself in a similar situation


Note: due to recent events US Homeland Security and other participating countries have clamped down on joint accounts. In the US you must show a photo id and have a SSN to open a joint account. I tried this years ago and was told no. She was scheduled to move to Canada temporarily and so I went to RBC. They told me no deal.

Hi. My fiancee' is arriving in the states in October and her final destination to me is at Washington's IAD. Her first stop will be in Chicago. My question is, will she be made to go through customs (i.e., opening of her sealed packet) when she arrives in Chicago for her connection or will her entry be at IAD? unsure.gif
