Hi! My fiance filed the I-129F package first week of June. Check was already enchashed but haven't recd the NOA1 yet.... sad.gif


Get the case nuber off the back of the cashed check and you can register online to check the progress of your case

It will tell you if your NOA1 has been sent and you will be able to sign up for e-mail updates on the USCIS site

thanks

Wow!!....So excited. It's gonna be our turn soon. Hope everything faster and faster. Good luck for you guys too.

Wow! I looked at his stats page (I've never looked at that part of the data before) and from 6-30 to 7-27, CSC approved 109 petitions!!!! WOW! And that was just on visa journey alone.... I'm sure there are more people out there who were approved that have never even heard of VJ before.

It's so exciting to see progress and to know how fast CSC is going. kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif I admit I expected to sit around and wait and wait and wait for anything at CSC... because before they were slow and VSC was fast. VSC is still processing apps from a month later than CSC is..but CSC can't be far behind if they stay at the fast pace they're at. It's all sooooo exciting. good.gif

p.s. I just looked at my ticker on my signature..and I can't believe it's already been nearly 2 months since we sent our paperwork.

Hi thank you for your reply and advise! Praying hard for our journey to be granted and lived happily ever after....Have a great week ahead of you.... biggrin.gif

There are actually several reasons listed under the USCIS expedite criteria.

We rarely see it here except for upcoming military deployment and severe health problems with US citizen.

OK, über newb here. NOA1 on June 10th, one touch on June 12th, and no touches since. Is this normal?

Going thru the CSC, and by the looks of it, wishing I lived in Vermont. I think its incredibly stupid that the USCIS can't shift resources or manage this any better.

Also, I've heard stories, on two separate occasions now, of K3 couples getting NOA2 approval before me (our packets were sent at the same time), both beneficiaries come from the Philippines and both cases using the CSC.

It was my understanding that K1 visas were "hassle-free" and "faster" in comparison to K3, and yet that doesn't appear to be the case. I'm extremely frustrated and confused...

Oops, looks like I posted this to the June VSC board. Anyway, if anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears.

Hello, thanks for asking....

well things are moving faster, my fiance received her information from the Embassy. It's confusing though. I read on the website, what papers she will get and what she needs to bring and turn in, and the site and instrustions in her packet are different. For one.. they sent her all instrustions in English, she is not 100% fluent in English,so there is a lot of translations over emails back and forth from me and her. The website said she would receive I-134, hospital paper work, police report paper work, and a list of things to bring with her, such as her passport and I.D. and police paperwork and I-134. Well I already sent her the completed I-134 a few weeks before, so I'm not worried about that, but there is paperwork she need to complete and bring to the interview that the website says nothing about. it says she needs to go to a computer and download and fill out DS-156, DS-156(K) DS-157, DS-2000. by looking at some of the document, I'm not sure she needs them, the DS-157 says: Required for all male applicants aged 16 to 45 and all applicants over age 16, male or female, who are citizens of or born in Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, or Syria. she is Femal from Japan only. but the instructions say to bring it so better be safe than sorry. She also received the DS-230 part 1, and she filled it out, but there is a part 2 also, that did not come with the packet, and the packet does not explain if she gets that when she arrives for the interview. Just some confusing stuff. I'm sure we will work through it. headbonk.gif

Are you keeoing yourself busy??? That is the worse thing..... not staying busy and waiting for all this to end.. good luck

Hey!! I would say only the thing that I know. She have to filled the form DS-156 (online only coz she need to have bar code) , DS-156(K) , DS-230 only part 1 if you guys apply for K1 Visa ( Coz part 2 is something for K3...I think) and you have to send your Tax return year 2006,2007,2008 too (anything else I don't know.....coz I'm still waiting for NOA2 too). I just only know few things coz I make a reserch of that.
Sorry for my english is not that good. Hope you guys good luck on your journey

I hope to leave this place soon. Sounds like you are staying busy! thats good. Hopefully VSC gets things in order and start cranking out some NOA's!

This is an old argument. Historically, VSC has always been faster in processing times even when there were more centers processing K1's... used to be much more disparity than there is now wink.gif..for example, in January of this year VSC was taking under a month to approve petitions... CSC still taking upwards of 5 months. Now THAT'S unfair! wink.gif CSC has done a great job of catching up and VSC has actually slowed down. There were people from CSC who filed the same time as us (april) who were approved before us. It's a crap shoot. wink.gif

p.s. Sharon have a GREAT vacation with your love!!!!

Hey everybody. I just found this thread, I'm a June Filer, too, that's why I wanted to say hi and whatnot lol.
So, we first sent our I-129F on June 13th with USPS to the VSC, delivered on the 16th, but came back one the 23rd becuz hubby put the right amount of money IN NUMBERS on the check but not in written wacko.gif I was freaking out becuz we have been talking about filing ever since last November, and now we finally did it, everything came back to us. He eventually sent the petition with a new corrected check back the same day and it was received on the 25th. Noa 1 came one day later on the 26th, the check was cashed on July 1st, hardcopy of Noa 1 came to him on July 3rd. We were touched on July 10th and 11th so far, and now it's just waiting I guess. I'm glad I have found this website tho, seeing all those timeslines and other people in the same situation helps me a lot.

Have a great weekend everybody star_smile.gif

We have set our wedding date for November 29th. Anybody got an idea if that could work out? I'll have my interview in Frankfurt, Germany, does anybody know how fast they work there? I've read that some countries consulates take 2 or 3 month to process the cases after the approval/gettin it from NVC. Is that true? ohmy.gif
Alexandra_v
You are so welcome smile.gif !

November ??!! Really I don't know if it will work for you!

Some people get approved in 2 months and others after a year or so!

Here is some info regarding the consulate question;
