hello there...
anybody there... or should i say... hey you are alone...
I got touch Apirl 14, 2008 for my I -129F... but not an approval so what's the use.
Life really sucks no good news... i really so sad
My I-130 if already 8months old.. I-129F 7months old...
what could possibly be the reason for this??? ooohh my goodness
i want to shout out loud to say I am
what can we do about this....

You might want to give it a week and watch your mail. We had a touch on 3/30 and then received letter confirmation of NOA2 9 days later by postal….stating we were approved 4/2, and still there is no reference to status on USCIS website, nor an email from them.

You can also try to call and talk to someone…to see if there is a problem. My understanding is that they are working on September and October at this moment… assuming there are no difficult problems with the petition.

Touches mean someone scanned your file in, but what they did is unknown.
Best of luck and speed.

i am like u wating, when u call the tell u the same bs, u still in prossing time

yeah,it is pointless calling,i called last week,i had one of the nasty persons so far, on the other end,telling me,what i already know.and the usual "wait" is all they know how to say.

waiting

ELBERETH mann i still feell for u.. i hope u get approved soon this month... I know howu must feel seeing all those ppl from nov dec and JAN even March gettin aprpoved...

im oct but i feel miserable.. i hopeu get urs soon!

9 months and waiting.
No touches since Feb. 10th.
Nada!!


You are right. "wait" is all they now how to say.
How much longer can one wait when they have been waiting 5,6,7,8 or 9 months?!?!?!
Well I hope my congressman's help will actually help, but I don't have any hope in anyone these days.

Good luck to all and I wish the best for us all.

Hello fellows,
I would suggest that when you call and speak to the USCIS customer service, please do insist that you talk to their supervisor. That's what my husband did and we got approved 4 days after my husband talked to the supervisor. Actually , it was the supervisor who called and informed my husband that we are approved already. When we checked it online it still pending until after couple of hours and its right there in the email already..
Here's a bit of the story of our case's approval..Our approval
Good luck to us ..

Hello there...

My husband called CSC last week and we too were told the same story to " wait " another three weeks and call back.

According to the officer our cases are being reviewed at the moment. They have been telling this story of reviewing since a month time. God knows when they will come to an end and approve us.

Im losing all the strength... Im losing hope....

Waiting as well..

Waiting too since October 1,2007. I got confused when some NOv and DEc even Jan filers are approved and get hope when I see there are still July- Sept filers are not approved yet. I am kind of "Lost in Translation"

My husband called yesterday. The guy who he spoke to admited that USCIS f*cked up our case and put us in the wrong pile. He said that our case will be adjudicated within the next 2 days.
Got a touch in both I-130 and I-129F yesterday as a result of this conversation

hey elbererth! thats good news.. hopefully u will see ur approval this weekend!!!

i cant believe they misplaced ur app... wat the hek is that??!

wow im happy that u at least got some where with those people im k1 and have been waiting about as long as u guys but cant seem to get anyone to do anything other than give me excuse after excuse......but at least ur headed in the right direction now...............

They sent us back to the mail room because of our I-129F date. Idiots

I'm not letting my hopes go up for these next days. I've done enouth counting on USCIS not f*king up, They always do.

Hi Elbereth,
we're kind of in the same situation. Only my husband did not call RFE but customer service. Instead he made a congressional inquiry. The answer from USCIS was that they received our i130 on Oct. 1. So he made another one with proof (copy of NOA1) that they received August 24. We got a touch yesterday too. Hopefully we'll both have good news these days!!!

Another touch just now. I guess they are working on it.

good luckkkkkkkkk... u must be so anxious!

nah, I'm busy with some work
I'm not caring about this a lot right now because my husband comes to see me next week. I'm anxious about that

can you tell me please how you guys know that your cases were touched, i only check the website but it s has the same information that our case is recieved and pending, how can i know if they touch it or not? thanks

we consider it a touch when the "last updated" date changes

Hi Sama27!


You have to create your own account at USCIS website and then add your cases to the portfolio. There you can see a column called Last updated date for each case. When this date changes people here refer as a "touch".

Good Luck to you...!

Hi August / September filers!

Any good news ???

no

Hello. I'm in same boat, last touchd 4/13 I130 and 129F both. I'm aug filer. Spoke to CIS today said they still doing back ground check. My two daughters are in school, wife at home how hard can that be ? I pray God will bless us all and aprove us soon, God knows the right time for us, all will be well soon.

Hi gilberto

Im sure you will hear of your approval soon and be with your family soon as you are an august filer.

Good luck to you!

hi guys,
still no good new for us? or has anybody there got something good..
the process time for I-130 go backwards I don't know if this is good for us August Filers or just a an evil scheme for the USCIS to avoud our inquiry
coz they will say again when we call..
" YES, MAM YOU ARE STILL UNDER PROCESS & YOUR PETITION HAS NOT PASSED YET THE 30DAYS, SO STILL IT'S NOT BEYOND THE CURRENT PROCESSING TIME. WE CANNOT MAKE AN INQUIRY THE DETAIL OF YOUR CASE UNTIL IT PASSES THE 30DAYS TIME."
ALL THESE BLA BLA BLA... OF THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS REALLY FRUSTRATING.
LAST MONTH THEY ARE ON THE SEPTEMBER 5 NOW WE GO BACK TO AUGUST 19, 2007.
LET'S JUST HOPE ITS A GOOD NEWS FOR US WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND WAY... WAY... BACK
JANUARY FILERS ARE ENJOYING THEIR GRADUATION FROM USCIS..
HOW ABOUT US???

Hi Mielon,

Sending you good luck for a approval soon. Its a long wait for you and you deserve it the soonest.

still any luck guys?

Alright then! Is anyone prepared to have a guess at when they think we may receive NOA-2????????
It would be interesting to see what some of you think. The VJ website gives a much better idea as to what is really going on than those USCIS processing dates. So I would really appreciate your input.

Vermont Service Center
I-130 - filed Sept 10th 2007
I-130 NOA-1 - Dec 27th 2007
I-129f NOA-1 - Jan 18th 2008

From what I can see from other approvals on this site we should be hearing something anytime now. But I am trying not to get my hopes up. I am thinking they will both get approved together, both got touched on 9th April.

Maybe we should start a sweepstake on approvals, then other forms of gambling, then drinking, more drinking! Anything to numb the pain of this load of old bollocks we are all going through right now! Trying to stay positive but hard when nothing continues to happen. Oh well - soon hopefully. It is good to hear from others in the same situation so we can all help each other a little bit.

Cheers
Dave

My good news(i hope it is) is that my congressman's office was told that my case is currently with an adjudicating officer.
the final step.
I hope this s@#t is approved soon, cuz i'm tired.

sent in July 1007.

good luck to all.

bless

hello
still no good news for the rest of August Filers.
congratulations to the people who got their NOA2
well... i wish all the luck for us who are still pending

Wow that sure is a long time to wait. I wonder why you had to wait so long yet others dont - doesnt make sense does it! Yeah you should be approved anytime now, overdue actually. So good luck and lets hope that July/Aug/Sept are done now!

PS - I am also tired of this too!

Hi everyone!

I woke up this mourning just to casually check my e-mail, not expecting anything from the USCIS. So I checked my e-mail and found, in the middle of alot of junk mail, two e-mails from CSC saying that my I-129F and I-130 have been APPROVED!

What happened last week was I called Senator John McCain's office in Tuscon, AZ, since I live in Arizona. I talked to his secretary, and gave her all the information about my case, and how I filed in September and was delayed. The secretary told me that they will do everything they can to help me. They contacted CSC last week, CSC replied them the next day and told the secretary to give them 30 to 45 days to make a disicion on my applications. So McCain's office called me and told me this and the next day I recieved a letter from them jsut stating in writing what they told me over the phone. I have to call them to update and thank them for their help. Now only after a fews days of them calling the CSC, I am approved. I should have called them earlier for help. Anyway now on to the NVC, God Willing!

Elijah

Congratulations Elijah!!!!!! Nice way to start a weekend.
Paris Heart

Hi Paris,

Thank you so much!

Elijah

Congrats Elijah! I was told the same thing from my congressman's office.(that within 30 days we should hear something).
My case is with an adjudicating officer is what they were told, so I hope to hear some good news this week. Please!!!!
Well I'm not gonna hold my breath on that. I've learned to not get my hopes up when it comes to dealing with USCIS.

Congrats again.

bless

Hi Jon,

Thank you so much for your congrats, yes I am sure you will get approved soon, I'll keep you in my prayers, as I do for all VJ'ers, to be with their loved ones.

Elijah

Greetings, both the wife and I are at the end of our rope waiting for the CSC to aprov our I130 filed Aug '07 and the I129F on Sep.'07. Call'd Mon 5/12 told both are in same folder with officer,to wait some more. It's hard not seeinf,touching wife,daughters for 9 months. I've used my congress people, still waiting. They are still doing bckgrnd chk,even though i've had 3 security clearances durn'ng my work history. Please pray for us and all those who have waited so long. God is good and things will improv soon.

I didn't post in this thread about my approval.

It happened after USCIS admited they f*cked up sending us back to the mail room

When you talk to them, be very clear about your sent date, that USCIS has a comitment to honor the I-30 RECEIVED date, not the NOA dates and not the I-129F date.
