It has been 99 days since my i130 was received (nov. 1)
anyone else near this time? i mean, no noa1 and no check cashed?
i just think i'll feel a little better if i know others are in the same boat.

hi , we were received November 12. just now did we get a noa and it is for my step son and not my wife...lol man i felt the same way you did last night. i was angry at people on here that received their noa i thought we were lost in the pile up was feeling hopeless and cynical. i got Alexci's noa and things DO get better!!!! i know everyone and their mother tells you to be patient but it is just USCIS they are SOOOOO screwed !!!

Hang in there. I filed 10/5 and received NOA1 1/9.
But sometimes having to be patient sucks.

Over 80 people have read this post thus far. and only 2 people have offered emotional support?? thought this whole website was based on support!!!!!!
it is like seeing a car accident and nobody stops to help..come on people positive, insightful words for these people who need support.

I know how it feels when check's isn't even cashed out yet.. but all I can say "relax your mind" give it more time, I don't know about I-130.

It will come. Waiting is very hard, but don't let it be stressful.

Hi,
I mailed my i-130 app. on septemeber 24th,i just recieved my noa1 last friday(feb1st)....120 days
i know the feeling,i thought i was the only one waiting for my NOA1,their website is useless,because what i been told was,when they started sending I-130 to chicago to process,the service centers,just threw the applications into boxes,in no particular order.so in other words,a september file or a november file can be sitting in a box with january apps......so,if you're like me,you're thinking it got lost,...no,it is somewhere,they will get to you,hang in there.

Hang in there..this whole process is frustrating and emotional...But good things do happen eventually. I know how this feels....Crappy system..

Hang on there - ours took 122 days and still cant access but that is inmaterial at this point - the waiting is the worst - and yes there are so many in the same boat that it makes Noah's Ark look like a canoe....

BE strong, i will qoute one of my favorite, i did get that from here, i think it is great qoute."BE patient to live one day at time. Let yesterday go and leave tomorrow until it arrives." that is how i live evryday...

why do they keep saying that the receipt emissions are up to date now, while we know that there's people waiting for over 90 days?

Keep faith and hope in your love.
This will all be so worth it in the end.
Best of luck to you!!!

trust me you re sooooooooooo not alone!! we all feel ur pain .... or has been thru it ....

again like the others said ... keep the faith and always look at this process as a test for your love... and u will see how strong your love will be and how u will appreciate eachother even more when this process ends

So true !!!!
well said !!!

jimi

hope u get ur receipt notice soon

I know it's hard for you!! We at VJ have or are going through the same thing. Perhaps some of us have it harder then others but know that this is what this site is for... It has helped me so much!! I was feeling so bad, I would cry almost everyday because I yet to get an approval and I submitted my I-130 in November of 2006. But know that in the end it will all will be worth it because you will finally be with your love!!!

Stay Strong ok
