Our petition didnt even get touched once, so you have nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the replies, it makes me feel better to know that things might still be moving even if the website isn't updated. Its hard, but oh so worth it. Angela x

Any approvals?It's been quite...I hate working graveyard shift

Probably none because of the weekend

Yeah, don't expect to see any until at least Tuesday. Monday is a federal holiday, so it's doubtful anyone will be at work.

It's always a federal holiday at the CSC

I don't think they deserve Holiday off

I called NVC today..they received my case Jan. 18, 2008. They will forward my case to manila today or tomorrow..got the case number,,. I will call them again tomorrow to ask if they already forwarded to Manila..wow!when it get out from the hand of service center, the process is pretty fast..wish everybody here in VJ a goodluck on your process.. we need more approvals!!

Should we file a petition to make them move faster ??????

grr..My fiance and I just made decision we have to change the wedding date just so we dont lose any money in our reservations........ We had such a nice romantic wedding set up.


Seriously..is there any way we (september fillers with CSC ) can report complaints to them ?

At this point we're all still inside the 6-month service goal, so there's really not even anything we can complain *about.*

LadyNoles, we can complain all we want, but I seriously doubt that bureaucracy will care about our feelings or speed up the process. The only good it will do at this point we will give you some type of self-satisfaction, but surely will not change policy. Technically, they are still within the timeframe parameters of 6 months, so we still need to wait til March to have a bonafide complaint per se. Sorry to hear about your wedding plans, but you really need to be flexible for the process. I know it sucks because we only have a 90 day window to complete the wedding process after our fiances' arrival. I actually put in for 1 week vacation for every month from May to Sept. just to cover myself for whenever the magic arrival date is.

Hang in there!!This process will be soon be over..Keep yourself busy while ur waiting..

Definitely good advice. I have to admit I should follow it more.

Mox, I can't wait to ur approval..Also for chuck and rose, virgillionare ,anewkindoffellin and some others i've known here in VJ..I keep visiting VJ to see if y'all got approved..Keep up and I feel for y'all..

Thanks, I really appreciate that!

Thanks Sofia, hope we hear something soon. It's all part of the game and persistence.

APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Cary and Olga!!! Great news!! I noticed your timeline says January 8, did you only just receive the notice?

I just came back from visiting her last night. I had a mail hold so I just received the bundle of mail today, but it was mailed out by VSC on the 10th of January.

Oh cool, what a nice surprise waiting for you!

Hi everyone.. i have a question.. i know this mighbe a late question but it came to me sorry..

we filed our k1 last September 5 (sent it thru Fedex), and CSC received it September 6... after a long wait for our NOA1, it finally arrived in November. and it says:



Why does it state that the received date is NOVEMBER 2? does it mean that the processing time started November not September? it says in their website (before) that USCIS will honor the actual date that an application was received in our mailroom; this date will be indicated on the receipt (in the Received Date box) when Form I-797, Notice of Action, is mailed. if thats so, why is it that in our NOA1, November 2 is the date indicated? We called USCIS, and have spoken to an immigration officer both in USCIS California and Seattle, and they say that whatever date written in the receipt will be final. It will be the date start of the processing...

do any of you have the same situation as mine? show me the light please.. anyone?

Have you received your hard copy in the mail yet? If so, look at the Received Date on the form. It'll be right below the receipt number. That's the *real* received date. USCIS make it confusing by using the Notice Date on the case online status form. Pay no attention to that date, it's not the actual received date. You'll need to look at your hard copy for the real received date.

oh i see! so, the November 2 is the notice date (whick is also the date they actually opened the package).. and the received date is Sept5.. they are really confusing though uscis site states that they will honor the "received date", while customer service says its the "noticed/opened" date. geesh.

anyways thanks mox.. may the force of approval be with all of us SOON

I think CSC might be starting to work on I129s again. There are 3 aprovals indicated on the 22nd, one of them from January (Cuba gets special processing). Hopefully, they are getting back on it! I guess we'll know in a few more days.

same here, so your Actual received date is: Septemper 6 (this is where your timeline processing start coz thats when CSC recieved it) and they entered your info in the system on Nov 2 thats also when they issued your NOA1. so go with Sep 6 to count how many days left for you til u recieve NOA2. which shows now in the estimated time in K1 Visa Historical Processing Times (158 days) yessssssssssssss I'm kinda glad now, coz yesterday it was 166 days and now it seems they're moving a little bit you know. and congrats to all of you guys who had received thier NOA2 best of luck all.

Yeah this is the best start to a week since about mid-December. Go CSC GO!

Last night I received an envelope which I assumed was NOA1 for my second application. WRONG. It was another letter responding to my missing app. This one was worded differently and is requesting proof of my previous application along with a new one and proof of payment....well i sent in proof of my previous petition but proof of payment? Should I send in a copy of my sept. check? I didnt pay technically because they never cashed it....?

How are you sending a copy of your September check if they lost it? Carbon copy from your checkbook? If you've got some kind of evidence, send it. Hopefully they'll file you in the proper order based on your first application.

I photocopied it before i sent it in sept.

That was really smart. . .I never even thought of that. . .

Congrats!!

First time get touch. Umm..Thinking. Wish NOA2 comes soon.!

Smell like NOA2

[size="4"][/size] OK !!....I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS ONLY FOR CANADIANS (WHICH WOULDNT BE SURPRISING HAHA)

BUT IT SEEMS THAT A NEW VACCIN IS NOW REQUIRED (GARDASIL) AND IT THIS FOR WOMEN BETWEEN 11-26 YEARS OLD... IT TAKES 6 MONTH TO HAVE (DIVIDE BY 3 SHOTS) AND COST BETWEEN 100-300$.

"On another note, I asked (Because i was curious) about the new vaccination (Gardasil) for women ages 11-26. Dr. Chana said that it is a new requirement and is very expensive. You should get it done ASAP. "

SOMEONE THAT GO THEIR INTERVIEW WROTE THAT...


SO MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO CHECK IT OUT WITH YOUR COUNTRY AND EMBASSY.

LUCKY ME....I'M OLDER THAN 26 YEARS OLD HAHA
