I just got T O U C H E D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I might cry......as soon as I stop jumping up and down!!!!!!

Just called using RFE trick. Turns out it was approved on 4 June, the day of our first touch. Woohoo! This was a lot quicker than the 90+ days I was expecting. I'll start hassling NVC next week to see if the petition has left for the Sydney Consulate. Thanks VJers for your support!

How do you do the RFE trick?

Call the USCIS at 18003755283 and select RFE route. You will then be forwarded to your service center of choice where somebody will eventually pick up.

OK. I just called USCIS and spoke to an Officer Martinez who was very helpful. She advised me that they are indeed sending all applications for K1 visas back to the Nebraska service center. This is supposed to speed things up, but we shall see.

I then asked her about my specific application and she said that it is in the process of being moved to Nebraska and might in fact already be there. Either way I should use the Nebraska date as my guideline. I know that this does not clear things up completely but I hope that it is a start.

Servise center of choice...lol..ok, so does that mean CSC or NSC??? lol

In my case it was the CSC, and judging from your file date, probably CSC for you too. Of course, if it's NSC then I think you'll be forwarded there automatically, if the change of centers has registered in their systems. Good luck!

Well, I hope this touch is an approval then.

You're kidding me...Nebraska. Oh - the jokes just KEEP coming from that hell hole they call CSC. Best of luck getting out of there, guys!!

NOA2 on June 16 (saturday) called using RFE trick. touch today was because its being sent to NVC!!!1

Congrats vismaster! You were one of the ones I was watching closely since your dates are so close to mine, I'm gettin real excited now!

Congrats!!

What I did (and she was very nice) was did the RFE thing. When she asked what my question was about RFE, I told her that I had noticed that the website wasn't showing petitions and CSC anymore and that they were showing at NSC and I wanted to know where my petition was. She said that yes, petitions were being transferred and she looked me up and said i was at CSC and I told her that I saw the website updated (for my personal case) and if she could tell me if I was being adjudicated. She looked it up and said I was approved saturday and it was on it's way to NVC (that's why I was touched today?). I was on hold for over 20 minutes before I got through....but it was worth the wait!!!!! If anyone has a date close to mine, I would call.

My date is real close to yours and I REALLY want to call....but with no touch, I wonder what I will say...I don't want to flat out lie...

The touch was evidently because it is being transferred to NVC. Tell tehm what I said. That you noticed that the petitions aren't showing on the CSC site and you want to know if it's being transferred to NSC.

OMG! Congrats! Now we must wind up the rest of you March people so April can get on the way. good to see some people are getting approved again!

now I pause to exhale..........

Congrats!!

Thanks!

I called CSC also, my application is approved also and on its way to NVC

YAY!!!! Congrats!!!

Also want to add that unlike your case, the CSC rep seemingly wasnt volunteering information and I had to dig it out of him.
He mentioned that I was the third caller asking about CSC not showing the 129F processing date and he mentioned that its only the website thing and probably would be corrected soon. Then he was looking for my data and said "well you should be getting the notice within 2 weeks" and then I asked "what do you mean? Is it approved already" he said "well..its almost at the last stage, getting sent to NVC" and I said "so then it means its approved"..he said "yes, the only thing is we need to send you the notice" and then he gave me the NVC phone number and told me to call them if I dont hear from them within next 30 days.

OMG! This is so exciting! I feel like there's actually movement again at CSC. Congrats apgk!!!

Has anyone heard from Elmira? Has she got any touches?? Any good news to share?

Elmira hasn't heard anything and she can't call the 800 number because she is out of country and so is her SO. What is her receipt date?

Congrats!!

We kinda have the same timeline but I dont know if I should call or just wait and see.
So tell me I am guessing you had no update on your portfilo too or email or anything of that nature?

How long before your interview?

we have the same exact dates! let me know if ANYTHING comes up with your case!

No status update on the portfolio, no email

Just lot of date updates last week.

ahhh ok,I have not got any date updates yet.Guess I am gonna have to be a little more patient.

We're still waiting for Packet 3. HOPE it's July - otherwise we won't make our planned wedding date. (Was planned before we knew about VJ or how long this process takes.) Stress. Stress.

Well, keep in mind I did not get a touch until it was being sent to NVC. You may get an approval without a touch.

Oh how I hate waiting.... LOL

I'm glad we got movement a CSC!

I hope I'm next in the stack of I-129Fs!

84 days and counting.....

You have a receipt date of March 28 and someone with a receipt date of March 26 found out today that they were approved. You will probably receive yours in the next day or two!

Thanks vismaster. I just did the RFE call, but the person said they're only processing cases at the beginning of December. We all know that's not true.

Hi Vismaster,
I was curious what the RFE trick is?
Thanks,
Daniel

I can't remember the exact prompts, but first was 1 for english and the secnd was 2...i just kept following prompts like i needed to submit more documents or had questions about documents that I needed to send. It's kind of a guessing game. I followed those prompts and finally it gave me a prompt to speak with customer service rep. I think it took me two tries to follow the prompts correctly. You have to listen real close because I does not say anything about RFE, just that you received notice that more documents must be sent in and you have a question about it. When I finally got a person on the line, I told her that I saw that CSC was no longer adjudicating I129F's and I wanted to know if my petition had been sent to NSC. When I got her to look it up is when i started asking her questions about whether I had been approved. Good luck...it might take you a couple of tries to get the correct prompts.

My Recieve date is the 27th, get in line

An to think i was a few days away of having mine processed at CSC, now its time to wait for case to get to NSC and pray they don't get it in wrong stack or lose it.

I don't think everyone got sent. When I was talking to the lady, she mentioned that I would not have been sent because of my date, but that's when she was looking it up and said I was approved and I was so excited that I didn't think to ask what the cut-off date was. Sorry.

thank you....the prompts to get to a live (usually not useful) person are 1,2,4,0.
it took me a long time to figure out!

wow!!!! You did great! Now everyone can call for themselves and see what their status is.

Congratulations Vismaster. I'm so happy for you!!!
Ism.

Thanks! I'm still very excited. It feels like Christmas when you're a kid and it seems like it will never get here and then finally it is.

Oh my God Vismaster I have been touched!!! as at 18 June 07... and I can see you got approval!!! Congratulations

Elmira!!!! I bet the touch was like mine and it means it's been sent to NVC. I bet you already have your approval. I wish you could call so you could find out.

How did you find out that you got approval? I will call to my Fiance!!!!

Look and see what I wrote earlier today. If you still have questions, PM me. Also, Daniel and Luciana posted the order of the prompts to get through.

sup guys..my received date is april 6 and my notice date of noa1 is april 12.. so do you think if i call i might have the chance of being approved? thank you.

It might be a little early, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to call.
