Me <----

Well, now there's enough data in VisaJourney that it can estimate my I-130 NOA2 and it is for May 19. My estimated NOA2/I-129F has stopped moving into the future and settled down at May 31. Seems like modest progress to me!

Touched again!! Looks like the next update will be the approval!!

wow this is nuts no touches nor updates what a load of bull

rajc,

You may receive the approval the same as we will. You don't necessary to have touches.

But, Consolemaster, you are at VSC while rajc is at CSC. You are on the fast track for I-129F approval while we are not ...

I GOT TOUCHED TODAY!! But I am confused. The email says (below), but I already received the same "notice of transfer email" last April 2. Anybody here with the same experience?

NICE!!! It looks like VSC and CSC at going to be the same.

island_princess,

It sounds like the previous email was telling you it was being sent to CSC. That email looks like it is telling you it has actually arrived there. Congratulations! =) Hopefully mine is not far behind!

Hello Island Princess,

Yes, that is correct. I am slightly ahead of your timeline. I first got an email saying it will be transfered, then 11 days later, i got an email like the one you posted saying it's now pending in california. Hang in there, you can see my timeline below.

1/30/07 i130 sent
2/6/07 i130 NOA 1
2/14/07 i129f sent
2/21/07 i129f NOA 1
3/2/07 email transferred to CSC
3/5/07 i797c paper transfer notice
3/9/07 i129f touch
3/13/07 email case pending at CSC
3/14/07 touch
3/22/07 i130 touch
3/23/07 i130 touch
4/23/07 both touched
4/24/07 both touched

Thanks for the replies.

Does this mean that I'll start counting the estimated CSC approval 3-4 months from this date (April 24)????
Oh my gosh, I need to be there in the US before Thanksgiving Day.

Island Princess,

I am having problems with my counter, the one from the site you got yours off from. I copied the HTML code, and it posts correctly in my small signature box. The images shows up after it's posted. However, when I click update my signature it says signature too long. Is there something wrong with my signature? Or, do I need to let Captain Ewok increase my limit?

Nobody has looked at my 129f since it got to California 6 weeks ago. Still no touches at all.

As for me, I did not do anything (no PM's to Ewok or whatsoever). Just try emailing him, he might grant your request.

At least, it is already in CSC, unlike mine, CSC just receive it now (i hope i wrong on this).

hopefully sooner, but yes

island princess,

I think you should be there by Thanksgiving. The csc appears to have sped up, judging from the latest timelines people are getting approved around 70 days after the noa1 of your i129f, I'm nearing that number myself and just got touched two days in a row, fingers crossed. Try looking at the k3 simplified timelines, filter out the csc applications, and click on the down arrow next to i129f noa1, you can kind of guess where you are in line with respect to the latest approved applications. It appears that they are doing mid-february now and you are only a month after that.

Good luck to you, I'm hoping to be able to go home with my wife by July myself.

I had a dream that I got an approval for my I-129F, and I-130. It was so real that I woke up to check status.

Haha, every time I get new email I panic. Then I get disappointed I hope yours comes in really soon, Console!

I got the same pending notice two weeks back.. but still no NOA2 ... I am through CSC though.. so am not expecting anything for another couple of weeks mininum...

kss,

Have no fear. You will get your approval. Ullamunali got his approval in about one month at CSC. I think CSC is catching up to VSC.

Hi Kss, I have the almost the same time line as yours. My file is at CSC as well. Hope we hear something soon.

I got touched 3 days in a row! Where is my NOA 2!?

Ack, me too ...............

Sounds like they just enjoy teasing you!!! haha

no touch or anything since April 9th......... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm going to guess that at 5 o'clock in the morning is when I will get approve! I am wondering if ours will be the same as those who gets approved at like 4 AM or something.

got a touch today- i hope it means something good is coming soon. still skeptical though.

What does the status say?

Care to share? Let us see if we have the same timeline.

So weird that many of my friends here get touched the same day.

Got Touched again !! 4 days

Okay, I am officially nervous....all these touches and no NOA2. Are they waiting for Friday? You know...it's Friday! Let's approve a whole bunch of petitions at once! *crosses fingers*

Don't feel like to work, i am keep checking my portfolio!!!

Dammit! What's wrong with them!!?

heck! where are my touches? island_princess we have nearly the same time lines
though yours have been touched recently mine haven't
should i call them up and ask if i have an RFE ?

Hi Rajc:

I also have the same time line like yours which is similar to consolemaster. But, unfortunatley our applications are at CSC. Vermont service center are faster than california. All these touches are from vermont application.

Hope we also hear something soon from California.

this is nuts...anyone have a clue why CSC is slower than VSC? too many lazy people?

yipeeeeeeee
got another touch today.


Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.

Aww I want a touch too! We got nothing since April 9th

oh!!!!!!!!! God, I cannot handle this anymore. No touches for me since March 28th. What is wrong with California center?

Does anybody know on what basis do USCIS process the applications? What I believe is in the order they recieve them. please donot take any offense for people who are getting touches (Congrats to you all), but people who filed after me are getting touches, but not me. I am just getting worried.

I know how you feel... I have seen many timlines zip past me while i have been dwindling my thumbs. I was also under the assumption that the applications are processed on the first come first serve basis. However, i don't think thats correct. I would also like to know how do they handle these cases.

They are supposedly in semi-order, meaning every uscis officer get's a box of applications with close dates, but factor in multiple officers each picking up a box and some being faster than others in approving and you get that we are all in approximate order by plus or minus 1~2 weeks. This was from a post on here a while ago by a former uscis officer. Link below.

Ooh, I got a touch and the pending email last night, finally!

sanford,

Thank you for the reply

WHERE'S MY APPROVAL!?

Not today, I guess My 129F didn't get touched

I can smell it. But, I don't know if I'm going nuts.

It's weekend...no work!!! Perhaps, you'll get it this week. Keep us posted.

Hopefully some good news is on the way for all of us who have been touched many times during the past week.
keep ur fingers crossed
