Hey, let's see the brighter side, if they stick with the 91 days, that is just the month after next September will be here before you know it! We could all be with our family by Christmas. That would be the best gift I could receive

Happy Monday everyone.

Still bored and waiting....grrrr.

What's everyone up to this week?

Here is your good news for the day, it is TUESDAY

LOL. OMG I am losing it, whahahaha.

Just think of it this way, time is going faster than you thought

I have called uscis, they told me that he would send my info to the help desk but he truly acted like i was bothering him. Call me crazy but i do want to be able to see the touches and check to see that nothing has happened!!

Wwellllllll i guess it's good news it will be sent to helpdesk!

I don't think you're crazy, I check mine every single day lol

happy Wednesday folks! Well it's Wednesday here

Hello everyone! Hope everyone's doing alright! I am getting frustrated in waiting for this process. I don't know what are their basis in processing. Grrrr!

So I've been posting in the wrong forum... Guess I'm a June filer (NOA1 June 6, 2009). I am hoping something good happens to our case. I've not seen any news of a touch or anything on the USCIS website. Do you find out about "touches" by calling customer service?

HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, i decided to stay away from VJ and USCIS for a few days. And i sort of found it as a relief. It got my mind off it for a while. I think i'm starting to sprout grey hairs!!! JOKES!

I am so grateful that all the June filers see plenty of touches within the next week and we all get NOA2 by September.

I am so grateful that we are all approved !!!

HAPPY VJing!!

Hmm I wonder if we will get to the US before thanksgiving!? I am hoping to be there by halloween but we will see...

How's everyone going?

As for the touches, you see them online but I haven't seen one since they cashed my check...

My hubby leaves me to go back to the USA on Saturday so I'm trying to be strong and keep positive....

Hi there mrsemcee!

Sounds like you're right on the ball my dear! Sounds like we've got a bit of a rest from NVC now as I was was told that accepting our choice of agent form'll take a few days. It's okay though, still waiting on my Canada-wide name check forms so, it's not like I'm all ready. Plus I'm helping my guy get his AOS package done up and ready to go which hopefully we'll have out by Friday. Hoping we have it all correct and such -- I wonder about things like, is this the right timing we CAN send his AOS package off right, as we did pay the bill. These are things that when I'm at work I have mini freak outs about. Just musing aloud, guys... sorry...

Sad that your guy is leaving on Saturday but on the bright side, you had him for a goodlong time and before you know it, you'll be together all the time.
You'll have us here to help get you through the immigration fun times!

Good job with the vaccination stuff, man... that was a little loop thrown to me but I'm just glad I got off my butt and figured it out sooner than not.
Drop me a PM anytime, okay?
Good luck to all you June filers, hope the NOA2s start rolling in...
Best,
LGG

Wow, that sounds pretty accurate, actually... we got approved after 92 days. Three months on the dime since our NOA1...
No joke, actually.

Seriously, it goes by a lot faster than you think... busy with work and friends and stuff, next thing you know.

But in all honesty, hindsight is 20/20 because while we were waiting for the NOA2, I was a freaking basket case of huge proportion.

Hi there... just an FYI... your case is not even a month in. If I may say, and not being rude here, don't call for while, okay? I know it's hard -- i wanted to call every day but I'm the beneficiary and could not. Good thing, actually. Sometimes, and this is NOT a proven fact, but if you call too often, you could actually slow down your case adjudication a bit. Wait until month 3 at least or something but less than a month in? Don't call yet, it takes less time to renew your Drivers' License...
Just saying...
And good luck -- I do know that it's hard not to call and stuff but I'll tell you, it'll usually get you nowhere unless you're 5-6 months in and thus, past the usual processing time.

I called today, just to try the customer service route. So frustrating, they just basically read me verbatim what was on the online case status page I was staring at. One interesting note is the processing times on their end were screwy and showed they were complete up to Nov 15th, 2003. So then they transferred me to an officer, who echoed the 5 months timeframe.

They were more compassionate than I expected but still no help really. Best of luck to everyone else, I'm starting to lose my mind waiting on this NOA2.

Well, I have been "touched" today Unfortunately, not on the I-130 petition, but our expired I-129F for when we applied for the fiance visa last year. I am praying that it was just to send an expired letter, not a re-validation letter, considering we are now married, so fiance visa would no longer apply. I guess we will soon find out, since it still only says that they received our petition on February 4 with a request for review.

I made sure to reference the previous case number several times in this petition. I wish they reviewed by SSN to see we already have our second petition on file. I130 still shows June 30, 2009 as the last update so they haven't made the connection as of yet.

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to update you. I received an email from CRIS today that our I-130 has been approved as of today! YAY! So now we have to do NVC and wait for our interview in Montreal.

Oh that is soooooooo awesome!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Nine days?? I think you set a new record

thats freakin CRAZZZY! 9 days? omg i want one!! hehe

aaah!

hey guys, how is everyone? i am unusually hyper considering my hubby is leaving me in 2 days. he is currently in my room packing his bags.



ooh touched!?!? lucky you. i want to be touched hehe.

Haha, I know!!! I swear I almost peed my pants when I saw the email. I was saying to hubby at dinner (we went out to celebrate!) that I must have broken a record, hehehehe. I think it was so quick because we've been married for 3 years, I've lived with him for 3.5 in Canada, and sent lots of financial mixing/lease agreement stuff.

I am so lost as to what to do now. I wasn't prepared for this at all!

wow i am SO happy for you. good news indeed! i saw that you had been married a while so maybe it was that, and a bit of luck.. rub some off on me

xox

*rub rub rub*

We are both just ecstatic. I know it isn't the same as you guys who are apart from your lovies, but I really miss my family!

Wow! I'm happy for you...I hope I have that luck too...hehe...Enjoy!

well my petition was touched today too but not the 130 it was k3 so lets hope they do something quickly

I'm frustrating now..I just checked the info from USCIS about "USCIS Processing Time Information for our
CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER" https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processTimesDisplay.do
It says I-130 Petition for Alien Relative U.S. citizen filing for a spouse, parent, or child under 21
Processing Timeframe:November 15, 2003
What is this????..I filed on June 2009. How long I have to wait for the whole process? Anybody has any ideas about it? All we can do just pray?
Oh boy! I hope it's not what I understood.
Cheers!

you will see the filing date (e.g., “April 10, 2003”) of the last case we processed on the date the website chart was last updated.

so i hope they done with that case the last case they approved was of that date that is why processing time is like that whenever or maybe the next time they update the site they will update it with most recent apporved case so that case comes in last 5 months period they will update it again like 5 months again

I am chiding not to look at things like the USCIS processing times because it'll just depress me, I say we all just try to think positively and be happy for those who get action. It's probably more realistic to watch what is going on here instead koz it tends to work in patterns right?

Anyway guys, keep your chins up!

*kisses*

Yeah! I need to take a break from visa thing for a lil' while..What it's gonna be, it's gonna be..out of my control and Just live with present..
Cheers! and Good luck for everyone!!!

I am not sure if my touch was good or not. They have picked up something that is no longer valid. I want some action on the I130, forget the I129F, unless it will cause them to review the I130

Maybe it's a good news touch because they could be checking on your past etc in order to complete your noa2?

I hope so! Best of luck kaushalia!!!

i saw that info too. it changed from "5 months" to "november 15, 2003". that's very odd though. the website says that they updated that chart every 15th of the month. so i guess we have to wait til august 15th to see the updates.

Holy COW!!!!
Was it an expedite or anything like that? First of all, congratulations! Wow!
And you are the proof in the pudding that USCIS has absolutely no set protocol as to how they process.

Congratulations and best of luck on the rest of your journey!

LGG

Thanks for you encouraging words MC
Today, the separation was just getting to me. I was talking to my husband, and I just bursted into tears. I think I hid it well, because I didn't want him to be sad too. But as we hung up, it just got to me. Sometimes, I just want to pack up everything, and leave. I know that will not be the wisest thing since I would not want to live with my mom when we return I work a lot of overtime, and go to the gym trying to get my mind off of things, but I guess today is just one of those "hell" days. Sorry for the rant, but I know VJers know where I am coming from. Trying to talk to my best girlfriend, and although she really wants to understand, you know she really doesn't. God bless her. Good luck everyone!

Nope, not an expedite at all! I have *no* idea how it happened so quickly. Hubby and I are both going, "What????? HOW???"

Congrats! Makes my head spin thinking about how they process... I'm thrilled for you, though!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttt? How did it happen? I am getting confused on how they process things! I am so happy for you guys for the fast approval. I am really wondering how they process things in that office. I am getting frustrated with our papers, cannot wait to be with him. Good luck on your NVC process

Hello MC! I agree, I am getting depressed and frustrated everytime I check USCIS. Hubby actually changed his password in for the USCIS Login so I won't check it everyday. Hope we will have luck and get in 4 months. Can't wait toi be with my hubby.

Goodluck everyone!

Thank you, Metro! I'm honestly not sure at all how this has happened. I think it might have to do with the fact that I immigrated to Canada from the US to marry and live with him - have been here for 3.5 years.

THat might be a big factor but me and hubby also stayed together in US when we started dating but we can't tell. I am getting depressed and frustrated. Hope we could have the same luck as you do. Congratulations!

*hugs to Metro*

I know the feeling, believe me. I thank God for what happened to us and wish it was as speedy for everyone!

i know what you mean, no one but you guys REALLY understand what is going on and how we feel. i try not to say "i know how you feel" to anyone here either when i remember, because its so different for us all.

big hugs to you, im here any time you need me. pm me if you need to chat.

my hubby leaves tomorrow... here is us today... spending time together saying goodbyes! we met on a photography website as we both love it, but he is better than me.. hehe so we have hundreds apon thousands of portraits of us!

today


two days ago


on his birthday a week or so ago

You two make such a cute couple I feel better today You come to a realization that there is nothing you can do to speed anything up, and everything is in God's timing. We are both still alive, so there is always hope Time to party again

Aw thank you!

We are both laying here trying to be positive as in about 7 hours we have to go to the airport

I think it'll be ok! In fact I know it!!!

Hope you're all well and happy...

Parteeeeeee on!

I know you must be going crazy right now. You will be together again very soon. Maybe before Christmas Just think of how happy a reunion it will be Not saying you won't have some hard times, but like you said, it will be ok We will stick by each other and keep the encouragement going

hey my dear take a look again.... its for unmarried son 0r daughter over 21...nov 15, 2003..

I think they must have had some technical issues. It bounced around there for a while. This morning, I got a servlet error. Now that it's back up, it's saying 5 months again. I think they probably just had the wrong table row in there or something.

Sure did cause a ruckus with my heart - I think it stopped when I read November 2003.

Hi Everyone,

Im also a June Filer.

Please see my timeline below.. Im starting to get frustrated, its been a month now but still my case have not been touched.

hope to speed up the process. I miss my wife!
