Hello guys,
I've been trying to keep on top of some threads to get advice and am a little confused now. Hope someone can help.

As you can see by our timeline, we've sent the I-130, got NOA1, then sent I-129F and have been waiting since. This is what we were encouraged to do back when in hopes that one of the application would be approved. I've been checking the Processing Dates on the USCIS Website and see they aren't changing much and I don't want to say I'm discouraged as it's only been since January but is there anything else I can do to either have an update or help things move forward?

Thanks!

Just wanted to say, I'm so so sorry

Hate to tell you but they have 180 days from the time they receive your I-129F to get your NOA2 to you. Let's all hope that it doesn't take that long! Good luck!

It appears that Vermont has really picked up the pace lately, but I know it's hard to wait...we had to wait 6 months almost to the day for our I-129 to be processed in California

You may want to consider the CR-1 option and abandoning the K-3...it seems that it's taking about the same time for each, and you'll have less hassle when your spouse enters the US.

I really wish I had just went CR-1.

Good luck, and don't get too discouraged...

I feel your pain, I have only been waiting since April and it feels like forever
at this point all you can do is wait like they said tho Vermont seems to be picking things up so hopefully we will both get approvals soon

Thanks for the encouragements. I knew it would be a waiting game but I didn't figure it would take this long..and yes, I know it's only been 5 months. I have been thinking about the whole CR1 vs K3 and am leaning towards the CR1 more than anything, if not to 'save' a little money and opening the option of working sooner.

I suppose it's time to continue downsizing to have less things to move. The whole unknown is frustrating though and I'm sure we go all through it..to sell the house or not, to start packing or not, to plan trips a few months ahead or not.. heh

Thanks again..and hope you all are hanging in there too!
