Thanks to you all for the congrats! I want to emphasize how great this web site is. I followed each and every one of the instructions for the 129F petition and it worked out great. No RFE, etc. The he11 with attoneys. They're just a waste of time and money. Again, I hope those still waiting for their NOA2 get approved soon.

104 days after our NOA1. I'm so happy. For all of you waiting, I know the approvals from the VSC are coming fast and furious, so you won't be waiting long. Hopefully CSC will be picking up the speed soon!

I hope I didn't make a mistake today, but I phoned the USCIS and told them that I know of two persons who filed after me and already have their 2nd NOA. I implied that mine was lost and the rep turned ugly on me- down right rude. It ticked me off so I wrote an email to my state's Senator. I hope this isn't an oops on my part.
Anyway, congratulations, again. I know the apprehension that has been totally relieved from you now.

Tars, I know how you feel. I got my NOA2 after a couple of people on here with later NOA1 dates than mine.
Unfortunately, CSC is a lot slower than VSC, so you might still have to wait a bit. I don't think any October filer from CSC got a NOA2 yet, am I right? But I bet a whole bunch more Octobers go through before January is over.
I only had one touch before I got my approval, btw.

VSC has been approving quite a few September as well some October filers since the beginning of the year. However, you're timeline indicates that you are still in a very reasonable timeframe for NOA2. Don't stress too much about it at this point. You will eventually get the approval notice.
It's all about patience here, even though it's hard at times to stay patient and positive throughout the entire process. But there's nothing we can do about it.
All the best of luck to you!!! You'll make it through!!!!

You have nothing to worry about - being with Vermont at this point in time is a blessing... My NOA2 took five months and I am one of the lucky ones - someone from CSC has just got their NOA2 after filing in May so please be patient and take the time to enjoy being with the people you care about at home - soon you won't be able to see them all the time
If this process has done anything it has taught me patience and humility as well as empathy and compassion. Use it as a learning experience

We filed back in October for our K-3 visa by sending in our I-130 to VSC and our cheque JUST got cashed (Jan 14). Does this count as a NOA1? Whether it does or doesnt, I'm just happy that our 130 actually made it to someone, for the past 3.5 months we didnt even know if it was lost, stuck somewhere at the bottom of a postal truck!

Take a look at the back of your canceled check. Is there an account number that you can make out? It will usually start with three letters. Mine starts with WAC, for instance. Take that number and go here:

Well, from what I've read on this site, some people have never received a hardcopy NOA1 in the mail, but they were notified via email. You should, though, receive a notice in the mail stating your case number. It will include the date received by the Service Center and the date of the notice.

"Cancelled" means the check was cashed. It literally means the check was used for its purpose and then "canceled" out of circulation by the bank.
They will eventually send you a paper notice with the EAC number on them, so don't worry if you can't read it.

Just finished reading the USCIS testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on January 17, 2008. Here's a paragraph from it:
Where Does this Take Us?
This surge will have a serious impact on application processing times for the next couple
of years. As a result, based on our response plan, most customers will wait much longer
to have their applications completed. As we have reported, the average processing time
for naturalization applications has increased from the current average of seven months or
less to approximately 18 months. Family-based adjustment-of-status applications
increased from the current average of six months or less to 12 months.
Our two-year
response plan will help us accomplish reducing processing times to six months by the
third quarter of Fiscal Year 2010.Here's the full release:

No word on my file, no touches, emails.. zilch! My partner (he's actually from Australia) is getting very impatient.. We live in England atm and are wanting to move back to Texas where all of my family are, get married have the white picket fence.. 2.5 kids.. you know the story..! Although, we've been living half of that dream for the past four years now!
It's nice to see that some October filers are receiving approvals well before the max 6 months tho! Especially ones who have filed with Vermont SC.. woo hoo!! What made those go faster than others though? I know every situation is different, but to those who did get approved within 3-4 months - what helped that?!
Anyway.. Having come on here has helped put my mind at ease a little bit at least.. mainly because I do see progress for other people, it at least gives me a bit of hope that perhaps tomorrow i can open my email up (maybe not though as today is MLK day!!) and find that we've been approved onto the next level!!

I'm wondering if maybe CSC is redirecting some of their resources to concentrate more on the citizenship applications. This would explain why the K1 approvals have slowed to a trickle lately. I remember reading a newspaper article saying that they wanted to approve as many naturalizations as possible so people could vote in the next elections.
Of course, I feel bad for people waiting forever for their citizenship...but at least they are in the US, unless us 'alien fiance(e)s' who are left waiting outside the gates! Let me in! Let me in!

Can anyone explain how the “timeline” function on this site calculates its results? While you’re viewing forum posts, look to the left side of your screen and you’ll see the poster’s information. Near the bottom of that person’s info are the words “my timeline”.
There are two of us that have the same exact dates for our NOA1, there’s only one difference- mine is at CSC and the other is at VSC. Yet when I compare mine to the other, mine says: “Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated as early as April 9, 2008*.” When I look at the other it says, “Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated as early as February 27, 2008*.”
Are the CSC and VSC facilities really that much different? Am I missing something in the calculations?
