Yeah, I checked too...nothing yet, but SOON!

Well I just called them. They gave me the 90 day line. Well at least the lady was very nice, I wasn't expecting that.

ok so 90 days.....humm let see...30 days went by already so only 60 to go??? lolllll


NOOOOOOO let's be positive and hopefully they gonna putt their fingers on each september members files tomorrow !!!!!!!

Hey, that is great, Nica! Congratulations. I think the positive vibes are going to help us

Sent my application the 4th of Sept. No word, check not even cashed. I tried calling and got the "90 day" spiel.

Hey congrats! Now you can stop waiting, and start waiting.

For anyone interested, here's the reply I got from the CIS ombudsman. In other words I spent 5 minutes writing a letter for nothing.

YAY! Our check was cashed yesterday. My fiance's having a hard time making out the numbers on the back though. He's says that they're mostly a blur, but there are no numbers starting with CSC or any other letters. I guess we'll have to wait for the NOA1 hardcopy in the mail too!

He said he's never been so happy to see $455 come out of his bank account before! Here's hoping that the rest of you get your checks cashed soon too!

Woot! Excellent news, another CSC September filer with check cashed. After that disappointing letter from the ombudsman, this is encouraging. Thanks for sharing!

That's good news! Two September filers now. Is it possible that finally it is our turn? Keep fingers crossed.

Still trying to figure out a system. First October filers, now September, but started with two files received on 28th. Seems they are opening packages backward?

No problem! I am super excited! I was talking to my fiance on the phone when he checked his bank account. I thought he'd had a heart attack or something he was so excited!

Great news! Congrats!

Yeahhhhh!!!!...congrats ATeam!...the light is getting brighter for CSC Sept. File.

I feel I am getting more and more nervous today, learned some of us waited more than 45 days, still without NOA1 in hand. I always believe we can get the NOA1 next week, but it seems after 30+ days, there's still no information about our Petition.

I am also encouraged to hear more good news of us, September filers, nowadays! I do hope we can get our NOA1 sometime next week!

Good luck to all september filers!

Kathy

hang in there, Kathy... it will come through for you

Congrats "A-Team" all I can say is the more filers from Sept. that come through the closer we will all be <grin>....

Guys you know what - we will ALL get our notices ... andthe worst thing is the WAITING... the moment that those applications were sent off to the various agencies... suddenly (just like xmas when we were kids) days (felt like weeks)... I am absolutely as frustrated about this process as the rest of you, and i also suffer with the time zone (conversations) that just feel slightly disjointed, and the fact that our lives are in limbo and on hold <grin> but it will all pass, and HOW strong will we be because of this process???


Have a GREAT day and lets all keep our chins up and keep on supporting each other... and our beloved's ...
Tracy

NOA1 arrived in the mail today!

They are honoring the received date of Sept 28.

OK, back to the waiting.

Hopefully once the ball gets rolling they keep it going.

CHECK cashed FINALLY.... <grin> today (26th October)... does that mean NOA-1 has been issued?

I am waiting to speak to my darling USC who excitedly emailed me that the money had finally gone through his bank, we seem to be missing each other over the past 12 hours via the phone ... ... LOL.. and I just want to talk with him, and then find out what the reference number is on the back of the check, so I can look it up on the website...

I have NEVER been more excited for a government agency to cash (the first of many ) checks in my life... At least I now know that it is in the "system" somewhere.

have a GREAT day folks ....
Tracy

Hi all - Just found out that our check cashed on 10-25. Too bad I'm in San Diego on the fire, hopefully we have NO1A by the time I return home next week. Good luck all.

YAY! Two more checks cashed! Tracy, I know EXACTLY what you mean! My USC actually was on the phone when he looked and found that the check had been cashed. He said that he's never been more excited to see that money missing! ~giggles~ What a strange feeling! He looked on the back of the check and said that he didn't see a number that started with three letters, much to my disappointment. To my understanding though, once the check is cashed, the NOA1 is issued and should come in the mail.

Don't despair the rest of you September filers! It certainly looks like they're working backwards. As my fiance said, someone found our envelope and said "OH CRAP!" and they set to cashing checks from the wrong side of the pile! Your time is coming soon!

Hello to all September filers i have a question i sent my I129-F around the end of August but it was recieved by CSC on September 26 so does this make me an august filer or september?

Your help is appreciated thank you and good luck to all of us.

Congrats ATeam, Nica and Tracy!!! That is all great news!! Sounds like a lucky week..hopefully next week will continue in the same vain and they will start cranking out more NOA1s!! Awesome. Enjoy the rush. May someday they will actually work all the way back to those of us who applied at the beginning of the month....so ridiculous.

I think this technically makes you a September filer, since the USCIS goes by the date they received it. So welcome aboard!

Hopefully this week will see many checks cashed! Good luck all!

NOA1 came in the mail yesterday! WOOHOO!

Congrats!!!

Now for the NOA2 waiting game. *sulk* But still, it's reason to celebrate!

Congrats!

(don't forget to update your timeline)

Congrats! It gives me hope that we'll get NOA1 this week still.

I'm checking the bank account 3-4 times a day, waiting for the check to be cashed. I guess the plus side waiting this long for NOA1, is that it breaks up the LONG waiting period from NOA1 to 2. It's been 5 weeks tomorrow.

Brian

hello everbody,first iam wishing luck to each one of us so our reuinion come soon,i juist have a question,whats mean touched,i see it in everybody timeline?am i missing something to do in my application or what?we sent it and we got our noa1 now waiting for it to be proccesed,so tell me,whats mean touched?thanks you all ,peace

Hi Yaz!

There was a thread about touches here.

Oh, and please update your timeline!

Welcome!

Totally forgot to update my timeline! Thanks mox!

I sent my I-129f off on September 18th and it arrived at CSC on the 20th. Well It looks like the check has been cashed today. It is pending at my bank.


September 18, 2007- I-129F Package sent by courier to CSC
September 20, 2007- Received at CSC
October 30, 2007- Check pending at bank

Check cashed 10/29, look like they're beginning processing September filers. For me, here comes the uber long wait.

Good luck to y'all !!!

Congrats folks... I don't know about y'all but when I knew that the check had been cashed and that first NOA arrived... it was like a huge relief (at least I knew that the package hadn't fallen on the floor and disappeared under a desk or a cupboard)
Now lets just hope that the rest of the Sept. filers start to hear something, and "fingers crossed" that with all the extra staff they have seemingly put on, will have these NOA1's turned into interview dates in our embassy's as quickly as possible... while I completely understand the reasonings for delays and the ensuring that the process is followed properly .... 6+ months is just a tad crazy...

Hmmmmm LOL.. thought here...
If EVERY person in the USA (regardless of who they were) HAD to go through - similar to what we have to via the K1... an "enforced" separation, with only phone/email contact (or very expensive flight travel for rare visits)... and if they had to go through police checks, proof of meeting, proof of ongoing relationship, proof of support, medicals, vaccinations, an interview... oh and all the other stuff that goes with it... HOW many folks would actually end up marrying... I think very few, actually would reduce the strain on the USA family court system as there would be a lot less marriages (and therefore a lot less divorces) LOL... and they could then turn those financial resources over to the USCIS for us legal immigrants, and also to give more resources to seeking out the illegals......
hmmm food for thought...
<grin>

have a GREAT day and KEEP on letting us know about any NOA's etc..
Tracy

Good to see more September filers get their NOA1's. The wait is still killing me. I check my banking website 2-3 times a day.

WOOHOO!!!! my fiance just text me...loll yeah its almost 2 am but anyway the check been cashed on the 28th

I am so excited right now...dont know if i will be able to sleep loll



keep on the good news for the rest of september fillers

YAY!!!! NOA1 came in mail today!!!!!!!!!



That feels sooooo good!!!






I was wondering.....is anyone able to see our timelines???? I cant see it loll

Hello everybody,thanks for all your support,we are all in the same boat and i wish the best luck to each one of us,so our reunion come soon and we start our great families,i have a question and thanks for all your attention,when my fiancee sent her documents,the check was already cashed,does it mean thye started the process?and yes we got our NOA1,plz answer me,and am i missing something?

yes, cashing the check is part of the process of getting the NOA1; you have begun your journey

Hi all my fellow Sept. Fliers- Just wanted to let you know that I finally made it back home to find good news. We received our NO1A. It shows a received date of Sept. 27, 2007 and Notice date of Oct. 25. I am hoping and guessing they will be going by the Sept date. I suppose only time will tell if us (the CSC users) will be equal to them (VSC users). I have read different things, but nothing concrete as evidence for us. Good luck to all. Now the "touch" game begins.

Congrats Chuck n Rose.

September filers, if you haven't received NOA1 yet, you might want to take a look at this thread in the Russia forum.

Found this after googling "California Service Center"

http://www.region12.nafsa.org/r12howtocontactcsc.htm

its got some phone numbers and emails which might be helpful.

Anyway, man time seems to be creeping slowly by lately.

Filed September 28th with VSC Approved 34 days October 30 waiting for Nvc

You won't believe it! Or at least...I still don't! I checked my bank account online this morning and found that our check had been cashed yesterday Nov. 2!! I am still kinda shell-shocked after having become resigned to the fact that we were going to have to be THAT couple who just wasn't going to hear anything for a LOOOONNNG time. Holy Cow!

Question for those who have used the USICS site to sign up to get info about your case. When you first signed on did it say "On 'such and such date' we received this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)" But, that date was more like the date they possibly opened the package, not the date that it was received through the mail? I am just curious cause the date on mine said Oct 30, 2007....when I know my petition arrived Sept 6, 2007. Any ideas?? I am sure when the NOA1 Hardcopy comes in the mail my fear that they are using the wrong date as the received date will be quelled...just wondering what your guys' experience has been like

Oh...and other update...I did email the CSC the other date and received an email basically saying that they do not take inquiries from the public through email. Which kinda bummed me out. Now I wonder if it somehow did have an effect since my check was cashed a day or two later. Thoughts? Anyone else have a similar experience????


Have a great day, everyone! I am hoping to see everyone getting there NOA1's soon!

Eric & Thuy,

I looked at your timeline: Filed Sept 26, 2007. Received NOA1 Sept 28, 2007. Received NOA2 Oct 30, 2007. Only 34 days. Are you serving in Army/Military or Government? That's so fast. I couldn’t understand.

Congratulations folks...
and 34 days... WHOO HOOO how absolutely exciting for you... here's hoping that, that means some great movement is happening over at those service centres...
and YES isn't it a relief (LOL) when your check is cashed (probably about the only time we all get excited about a government department taking money from us) at least it shows that they actually have our file...

have a GREAT day everyone... and here's looking at a wonderful week for everybody..
Tracy

Ok i got a question....the noa1 hadcopy is it the notice of action sheet??? or is it something else??? thank you for your help guys

And you guys knows your file been touched????


thanks again

Yes, the NOA1 hardcopy is the official document mailed to your home that officially states that your petition has been received and is on very official looking stationary. You know if you have been touched by checking your case status online. If the "Last Updated" date changes, you have been touched.

Any September Filers still not in the system yet? Finally got through to CSC today and i'm not in the system yet. They got my 129F on Sept. 26th. Just curious.
