I am keeping my fingers crossed, hoping to get NOA2 soon...like May!!!
Miracles do happen!
Full Version: K3-March'07 Filers-Case Transferred to CSC

Well, we're sharing that hope. Based on the averages, our I-129F NOA2 should come at the end of May or beginning of June.
My real hope is to be in Russia on 1 Nov to celebrate my MIL's birthday, and then take my wife home. We'll see.
In early May, I got confused in an amused way. I thought I could read the Case number on the back of my cashed check from the image I got from my bank over the internet. That Case was a I-129F but sent to Vermont!
A few days later, I got my I-129F NOA1, with a number different in one digit (the one that was hardest to read) and, sure enough my case was sent, where it belong, to CSC. Is it good? Is it bad? Who knows.
The thing I do know is that we are better prepared for the relocation that this marriage entails than when we did the K1 two years ago.
I miss my wife terribly though. And now, because of a job change (my old job sent me to the Institute where she works about 3 times a year) we don't know just how soon we'll see each other again. But the time will pass quickly, I'm sure.

I think, CSC is not that bad. But still, some are lucky. Approval is just about 2 months. Who knows? We maybe be one of them.
What is good with this whole waiting game is, the foreign spouse has more time to enjoy her/his native country. As for our case, husband and I decided to settle in the Philippines for good, then after 6 months in the marriage, he chickened out, thinking that it would be hard for him to adjust...too bad! soo, here we are waiting and waiting....
BTW, you said you had a K1 petition 2 years ago. What happened to it? Was she denied?

Islandprincess,
My wife was, of course, approved for her K1. We had a rock solid case, since at that time I'd been in her city, seeing her every day, for 10 or 11 months over the preceeding 3.5 years.
She came here and while she liked what she saw, she really need to go home and decide if she really wanted to marry me and leave her family. We are not a young couple. In fact, she just became a grandma and, although I haven't yet met our grandson, I intend to claim her as my own -- my step-sons biological father hasn't been in the picture for years -- and well, you get the idea. She's a little older than I am, and I turn 50 later this month.
We got married in a formal way, not at all the real celebration I wanted, on the advice of an immigration attorney, because of the prior, successful K1. I'm very happy we are married, and look forward to an opportunity for an appropriate, sufficient celebration of that marriage. Our brief honeymoon in St. Petersburg at the beginning of the year was very nice -- but -- well, I look forward to better later.

I agree, you have a rock solid case. All you have to do is wait and wait. The interview is no problem with you.

Good luck for all you guys (and for me).
I am hoping for early approval but I also need to be realistic.
I have both Japanese and the US citizenships and am currently studying at a graduate school in the US for one year.
It was good for me because I can come to the US without the F1 visa but it was not good for my wife (Japanese) because she had to go through the immigaration process rather than F2 visa like other spouses of foreign students (In this sense, I am worse off than other foreign students because I have a US citizenship...).
The change of the law in late January was also a very bad timing because we were planning to file our I-130 petition at the US embassy in Tokyo in early February, which should have been much more faster. Now the embassy restarted to receive I-130 but only from whom living in Japan for 6 month continuously, which does not fit to me, currently living in the US.
For good or for bad, I am going to work in London from September 2007. It is good that we can at least enter the UK together with the working visa which should be issued easily by my employer's help. It looks rediculous that my wife needs to wait very long in order to stay in the US for relatively short period of time (say July and August according to our current timeline). But it is yet important for us to be together. She visited me with the VWP before we got married, 30 days + 90 days within last 12 months, so it is getting risky to come again with the VWP. That's why we decided to apply for I-130 and I-129F and see whether a visa will be issued before I leave the US.
Well, I have my graduation ceremony early next month. Although it is not 100% sure that she can enter the US, she is planning to come here for one or two week(s) with the VWP. She will bring as much evidences as she can, showing her intention to return to Japan and I will also prepare my letter stating that the gratudation is a very special event which every one celebrates with his or her family member and we have no intention to breach the US immigration laws, etc.
After that we will see whether K-3 is likely to be issued by early July or she will come with the VWP again together with the airticket and visa to enter the UK.
Thank you for reading all of this.

No. Japan is subject to the Visa Waiver Program which enable Japanese to enter into the US up to 90 days without a tourist visa. And as far as I understand, it is not illegal to enter into the US with this Visa Waiver Program, although the entry is not guaranteed.
Because of this Visa Waiver Program, the tourist visa (up to 6 months) is very difficult to obtain unless you have a strong reason to stay over 90 days without having an intention to immigrate. We also considered this option (i.e. file only for tourist visa and not for I-130 and I-129F) but we gave up this option because we thought it is hard to prove the strong reason. The need to live with her US citizen husband has an affinity with immigration visa and not with tourist visa. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE SITUATION IN JAPAN AND IT MAY BE DIFFERENT IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
Well, this maybe better to dealt in other topics if you want to discuss further.
For the graduation, the final exam is waiting for me.

Thank you for reading all of this.
I suddenly felt like writing something about me...
This will be a long wait. I am checking gmy email everyday, which I do not normally do. Sigh!
NOA2,NOA2, please come sooonnnN!!!!
I don't know what happened, but I'm really stoked!!! I woke up and checked my email today and here's what it said -
Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

On April 11, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR
FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the

I'm guessing this is the NOA2? Can't believe the CSC approved it in 10 days, I was preparing my self for a 3 month wait!

CONGRATULATIONS ULLUMANALI!!!
That is very fast @ CSC!!! I'm super jealous, and happy at the same time. I wonder why I haven't got an approval notice since my timeline is the same as yours.

Thanks consolemaster! it is totally unexpected....and as someone in this thread said earlier "one of those freak cases", I guess....
If anyone, I thought yours would be the first to get approved at the VSC before mine. No worries....I'm sure it's right around the corner - you should get your NOA2 any time now...
Good Luck!

Oh I constantly check the USCIS website...but worse than that, since I've already read everything on VJ that applies to me...I'm now reading all the stuff on VJ that doesn't apply to me too! lmao I'm just starved for information or something to get through this terrible waiting period!
Are you for real???!!!!!
I am envious of you! Thanks for sharing...at least, there is hope of getting NOA2 less than 2 months...
NOA2...plssssss come!

Oh I'm with ya on this one. I'm now reading stuff from the threads started out by the Brazilian VJers and those are in Portuguese!!! Which is close to Spanish but not quite.
No touches since April 4. My timeline, which had predicted approval as early as May 20th now predicts June 1. The predicted date has been slipping consistently for the past few days.

We are on the same boat. My timeline is constantly increasing.

I have 12 more days, and my NOA 2 will arrive based on the timeline. YAHOO!!!

Good luck, console! I hope it's accurate and you get it. I was just checking this thread and randomly looked at a timeline on one of the posts and thought to myself "poor bastard" cause it was so recent and I knew they had a long wait. Then I looked closer and realized it was my own timeline! lmao Not cool, man! Not cool! Seemed like longer since I started all this. The good thing is, I'm going to try to meet my wife in the Dominican Republic next month since that's one of the few countries that she can get to with little trouble. That gives us something to look forward to and then hopefully after that trip, it won't be much longer...at least according to the VJ timelines. So yes...I hope they are accurate!
nice! The sooner it gets approved, the closer you are to that Disneyland trip 
Cheers!
