Hi, everyone. Congratulations to those who have been surprised by fast I-129F approvals lately. It's energizing to see so many people moving forward!

I have a question about e-mail notifications. I have seen posts where VJers say they have recieved e-mails about their cases. I didn't see a place on the I-130 form where I could write in my e-mail address, though I did on the I-129F. So for the K-3, there are apparently some things that I will in fact be informed of via e-mail.

1. What exactly will those things be, and who will they be from?

2. Are e-mails always followed up by paper notices, or will there be some things that will only be communicated electronically?

Thanks!

JenM

They will tell you every time they touch your file, or when they send things to you. AFTER you get your NOA1 (receipt), then you can go their web site and sign up for email notification, using your receipt number. Until then, just sit tight. Minor actions (touches) do not result in snail mail. Major actions that require response result in snail mail. But sometimes one can respond to the email and get things done faster.

Earlier you asked about what time of year is best. NOW! NOW! NOW! The process takes so long that sooner is always better. I'm kicking myself now for not filing sooner. In the statistics section there is a graph of how long things take. There does not seem to be a consistent seasonal pattern.

Good luck!

HI

JenM

YOU NEED TO REGISTER URSELF ON THE USCIS WEBSITE AND ADD UR K3 CASE NUMBER AND THERE IS AN OPTION WHERE THEY WILL ASK U OF U WANT TO ACTIVATE THE EMAIL NOTIFICATION SO YOU CAN TAG IT AS YES.
FROM THERE U CAN LOG IN EVERYTIME U WANT TO CHECK UR CASE STATUS AND SEE HOW MANY TIMES UR CASE HAS BEEN TOUCHED.
BEST OF LUCK
