recieved i-130 NOA 1 in jan from Vermont

filed for 129f recieved NOA 1 in may



niether i-130/i129f has been touched when i type my reciept no in uscis update page. seems ppl who have NOA1 after my date are getting approved while there isn't even a single touch for my case.

and now i hear abt this IMBRA law confusion.


i am very sad:(

Some people never get touched. The online case status isn't the best measure (not that there is another one)

Nothing has been done with your I-129F since they have just now figured out how to comply with IMBRA. You will eventually receive an RFE in the mail to fill out and return - around that time you will normally get touched.

hang in there good luck

What the others said..........

You can`t just go by what it says online. There was an application I sent in...an I-130 and I-485. For nearly 10 months I heard not a peep from USCIS. Nothing.......

Last I heard from them was an RFE last August. I checked online often. I contacted USCIS by phone......sent in letters....contacted senatorial offices....etc..

In other words. I went overboard trying to find out what happened to it. No one could tell me. I thought it was lost.

Then all of a sudden, about 3 weeks ago.....sure enough....in the mail, out of the blue, I get this appointment letter for my wife to have her biometrics done in a few days.

After all that agony and effort to try and find out what happened to it...and thinking it was lost . (at one point..I even sent in a few notarized letters to have it withdrawn because of some mistakes.....long story....)

But the point is......as others have stated. Do not get too dejected by what you see online or if you do not hear from them for a while. Because chances are, there is a good possibility it is just being processed as normal.

If it helps to calm your nerves, contact whom you can about it....to be safe, as I did.

The USCIS ``dis``-organization is not quite as good about these things as you think. There is still hope.....
