Hello All,

My fiancé and I received notice at the end of May that our I-129F was accepted, and was being forward to the foreign embassy (Norway).

It has been over a month now, and we haven't heard a word from either the NVC or the foreign embassy.

Any thoughts on why this could be? I thought things were supposed to SPEED UP after they left the USCIS.


Thanks in advance!

If you heard that it was being forwarded to the foreign embassy then you heard from NVC... If you heard that your petition was approved and that it was being forwarded to NVC, any thoughts that the problem is USCIS?

if the nvc told you it was being forwarded to the embassy then maybe you should call or email the embassy, good luck

Looking at Max's timeline, it looks like he got NOA2 on 5/30. Judging from that, he's likely looking at a USCIS holdup. Looks like you got put in the 100+ day stack, like me and Jacki, too...I seriously feel that a cleaning lady worked on our petition. Who approves petitions at 10:37pm PDT? I was reading a report by the USCIS Ombudsman that was posted via link by another person ("FBI Check") earlier and it appears that the USCIS either has or is planning to have a number of workers who actually work from home on petitions. Perhaps it's sitting in the back of the person's car who approved it, or their 2-year old ate it??? I know when I was calling the NVC about a status, they kept telling me it's not within the timeframe that approved petitions are supposed to arrive yet. They said 2-4 weeks, and one person said it can take as long as 3 months. Perhaps it's an Administrative Review thing. But the good news, at least on my end, is that NVC sent ours out on June 26. I got a letter from them today telling me the case would be forwarded. Might be a good idea to call the NVC and/or the USCIS and see what the holdup is, even if it has been 4 weeks.
