Me too Janet! what are they doing with ours?

I wonder what they are doing with mine?????? Well am watching you lot since you filed before us!

I speculated that maybe they just sent the NOA2 through snail mail and didn't update the database, but I think if that was the case it would have got to me by yesterday.

We got our yesterday:)))
But how do u check if it is received or sent to NVC?
and then when it is received by the consulate?
Anybody could help?

Still nothing in snail mail for us either.........is it time to panic yet? I'm starting to think its got to be an RFE.

Ivelina & Andrew, I sent my I-129F same time you did, but have not seen any touches since April 3. I am getting a little worried, even though I checked and re-checked everything before I sent it out.

I hope I get some good news soon!!

I tripled checked everything on mine too Wendya and my NOA1 was 3/16!! I believe JanetandEdgar are nearly the same. Perhaps this employee just has a big load of cases on his/her desk.

Any March filers with some news today?

I was so happy!!! I received an e-mail notice at 9:06 am that our I-129F was approved and a NOA 2 was mailed out. Yippie!! Oh Happy Days!! (Mutlu Gunler)

Won congrats, another quick one!

Seriously people look at my timeline below, should I be panicking yet? That's like 3 people above me at vermont who got approved now. Makes me worry they have forgotten about me.

I bet you will be getting a notice in a day or two!! I will pray that this happens for you. Prayers DO work!! Keep your chin up!!!

Congratulations, Wendy !!!!!!!

Tesekkurler Mary!!

Got it, April 11th.

congrats! looks like your NOA1 day was the same as mine.......hoping today is my day

I'm still waiting

Still waiting too........and 2 people ahead of us got NOA2's today......if we have an RFE I wish they would just tell us.

I can't imagine getting an RFE, I supplied them with everything they asked for, I can't imagine what more they would need - let's just keep our fingers crossed that we will receive them next week!

We are still waiting as well, people who sent theirs in on 26th march have got their NOA2...well I hope you guys also get urs!

Still waiting.....

Got our NOA2 April 9. Took 26 days from NOA1 to NOA2. My fiance was worrying after day 16 or so because people with similar timelines already had theirs by then. The date on my timeline was more accurate, where it said something about 'if your case has not been approved within 10 day of xx-xx-xx' or 'we estimate your case should be adjudicated by xx-xx-xx' or something like that, the date said April 11, 2007 and we got it two days before that. It's like VSC knew I was going to call on the 9th So if the best case scenario times have passed, look toward the date given in your timeline instead, don't drive yourself crazy. Look at the graph describing NOA1 to NOA2 at Vermont, it is 40something days last I looked. Think about that before your get too worried....

Even VSC sometimes takes longer than we think it will compared to the other centers. I know it is hard, but try to be patient? Keep your mind and hards busy, cross-stitch is working well for me. I am working on something 18" by 7" and I'm about 3/4 finished. I do this when I am despairingly sad or I am waiting for something that is very important to me, but I think I'll be waiting a long time (longer that 2 or 3 weeks, so this counts, even though VSC is quickest center). I'll probably stop after he gets here. But I'm sure there will be other things in life where I will find myself waiting.

Gosh, on Monday it will be 26 days for us, I really hope to see it next week!!!! I would think that if they were going to send an RFE they would have sent it already right?

Our cases are probably with the same adjudicator...I see a good week ahead for us!

"Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated as early as xx xx, 2007*.

If this date has passed by more than 10 days or your application is past due per USCIS processing times then you should consider calling the USCIS to inquire on your petition. If you have been approved please update your timeline."

When I looked at ur timelines these were the dates to replace xx xx

Janet and Edger : April 21 (a Saturday)
Justchillin' April: 26 (a Monday)
My guess is late this week or sometime next week. I hope it is sooner.

I had planned to wait until the date I saw on my timeline before I was going to start worrying. It kept me sane. Give yourself a date where you will let yourself become concerned, and be stern with yourself about keeping it. Maybe that sounds silly. Just saying what helped me. Also, think about how it takes longer at the other service centers and we are lucky. To give it more perspective.

Hi Balmy - I'm not sure I understand where you are getting these dates from - I pray we get the NOA2 this coming week (JustChillin too!) - I'm chomping at the bit here and cannot wait. I think if we were going to get RFE's we would have gotten them already for sure, I don't think that is the case.

I pray to get the NOA2 soon!!!

Janet, if you click on "my timeline" it should give you a 'estimated date', mine is April 20th right now.....really hoping this happens for you guys and us this week......I wonder what they were doing when they touched our cases 2 days in a row? Maybe someone got it then went on vacation.....

Oh thank you Steven, that just makes me feel better seeing that!

Here's a quick timeline of us.
Through the Vermont center.

NOA 1: March 9th, 2007
NOA 2: March 28th, 2007
NVC Letter: April 4th, 2007
- Says within a week the petition will be forwarded to the appropriate visa issuing post.

I count myself as pretty lucky.

- Joe

Got mine today!! Don't worry if you haven't got urs yet.. its just matter of few days.. Good luck to all.

Unfortunatly I just got a RFE, no idea what for..........

No WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DO YOU KNOW? DID YOU GET SOMETHING IN THE MAIL???????

Email Janet, guess the written request will arrive in a few days? Anybody know how long it takes from RFE email to RFE snail mail?

Steven, what did you send in your I-129F? Did you supply everything they asked for? Pics included?

You should get the RFE in a day or two, thank god it's Monday. They say the turn-around for the RFE is very fast and approval comes very fast after that.

I got my NOA1 on March 26th. I supplied the I-129F, both G325A's, A intent to marry letter for each of us, copy of my passport(every page), copy of my birth certificate (which to prevent fraud, has a 'void' on it when you send a photocopy, perhaps they will require me to give them an original copy of my birth certificate), copies of my passport pages with stamps from there, copies of her visas to the US (perhaps I should have copied her entire passport?, not just the visas), 14 pictures of us together, even with some very well known landmarks, copies of bank statements where I made several transactions there, copies of what boarding passes we had for both of us. Not sure what else they could possibly want.

Gosh, I can't imagine what they would want either! Hmmmmm. Well I do know that the turn-around is quick, just supply what they need asap when you find out and you should be ok. Sorry for the let down, I'm probably heading in the same direction because I haven't heard anything yet. There are those whom have already received theirs before us which is a bit discouraging. Does the email say USCIS? I keep looking in my email but I don't see anything...

Sorry Steven but then I think someone is actually looking at your case which is a positive thing, so once you get your RFE and you send it back asap, am sure you'll have your approval in days. Goodluck buddy!

I'm still waiting!

Same here Janet, Justchillin in the corner here at the mercy of VSC...lol

Good luck to all the NOA2 recipients, but I am getting a little (understatement!!!) nervous myself. NOA1 was March 14th with a touch the next day I believe. I had one more touch on April 10 and nothing since. No e-mail notification about the touch either. I see so many who filed after me receiving their NOA2. If they are looking for more evidence should I not have had that by snail mail by now?

I never got an email notification on either touch -

Does anyone know what they actually do when they are reviewing the I-129F packet as VSC? Do they do any kind of checks there or anything?

Where is my NOA2?

Ugh. I just got the email for an RFE.

Isn't it intersting we both seemed to be handled the same days and we both got RFEs?

Aww Janet, I was hoping to come on here and you would be all happy with me, but at least we know it's probably the same person working on your case and steven's. I got my NOA2 yesterday, didnt actually know as I was tired of checking the status update but my fiancee called me this morning to give me the good news. I was actually short of words, u know when u expecting something and when it comes but all the emotions just ain't there. Well am glad that part is sorted, so here we come London! Goodluck to everyone waiting and thanks for all your support, am gonna be asking a lot more questions now....fo'sure!

I feel bad that you had to wait 13 days for them to decide to notify you of the REF. Hopefully the snail mail request will come real soon. My last touch was April 10 but now I have some kind of a timeframe of what to expect. I think I would prefer a REF just to get things moving again as long as it is not a difficult one where I need more info from Ming in China. I understand that when they receive what they request approval usually comes just a day or so later. Please let us know what the REF was for. I hope it is a easy one.
Still waiting

I got my RFE email on April 07 and the snail mail was received on April 12th. They wanted to get a copy of Final Divorce Decree that is not appealable (it was already included in the initial submission). I went to the courthouse and got an original decree that is signed and exemplified by the Judge and the County Clerk. I mailed the RFE back on April 13th and hope that this will satisfy them.

I also sent a copy of my final divorce so I'm not sure that that is what they want. I'm really not sure what it could be. I didn't have a long form birth cert for myself because frankly I didn't know they existed, I've always had the same birth cerficate so I never knew of anything else, so that could be it. Nor did I sent copies of my passport, you would think they could look up your SS# to see if you are a citizen or not? Stupid.

Anyway, waiting to find out what it is.

Steven did you get the request in the mail yet? What does it say??????

I still didn't get my snail mail RFE, hopefully I will get it on Monday

Got it today, they want me to prove I am myself (lol) - that my maiden name and my married name are the same person so I am going to send them a copy of my marriage licenses ay carrumba! Mailing it out today!
