On my printed NOA1 it says - received date October 10th - notice date January 10th

On the online system is says they 'recieved' my application on January 10th

I'm not sure what that makes our date to go my for processing times but I'm sure everyone will still be processed in order so it doesn't make that much difference in the long run

The received date will be the one they will use, I was told when I called them.. tho they are now saying it will take 9-10 months for processing I think its best to go by what they are doing, and VSC is processing August petitions.. so the august petitioners are getting adjudicated in 6 months!

Hehe.. I check mine twice per day.. and it hasn't changed. I dont know if it's more nerve wracking anticipating that "touch", or will it be worse after its been "touched" Needless to say, this process is sooo long and stressful.

Hey Nov filers - i finally can see my case on line - those of you who still can't may want to keep checking -

Nothing has happened with it, of course - but at least now I know for sure!

what do they mean its taking 9-10 months? just at vermont?
It seems that people that got the NOA1 right before we did are beginning to get approved. I dont listen to anything anymore. blech!

9-10 months it is an estimation that USCIS put on its website, where it says "Immigrant petitions for relatives and workers may take 9-10 months". But I would go with VJ prognosis for adjudication. Now it says my petition can be adjudicated as early as May 30th. And I think that is possible considering that CSC and VSC are working on approving August/ September petitions now. By the way their NOA1 were recieved in December 2007/early January 2008.

Hiya friends, I hope every body would get this NOA2 soon.
Best of luck.

Here is the link to the timeline of the VJ who sent his petition on November 20, 2007 to VSC and got approved on Feb 2, 2008. As far as I know it is the only approval for November petitions I've seen on this forum, though it doesn't fit any logic. Hope approvals will keep on coming.

I was just on a forum about filing out thg G325A(the bio form) and the box where it ask what is this form going to be used for I checked naturalization box and other people in the forum said they checked other and put CR1 or whatever they were filing for. Does anyone think that will cause an RFE since I checked the wrong box? Every little detail is getting me nervous now...

this week appeared not to be to good on approvals for October & November, they werent any on this months approved or touched!
Lets see on this coming week!

I'm a Nov CR1 filer. Hopefully we will hear good news soons. GOOD LUCK everyone!

Missingyou, in your processing time it says you center is Nebraska you need to change it to CSC bz Nebraska doesn't process I-130 and you put 2008-02-11 which means you filed in February.
I saw some mid Sept filers being aproved on Aug/Sept forum so hopefully soon. Speedy journey to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. I have just updated my timeline. Not sure if it is correct. I have filed CR1 in November, but after my updates, it says that my predicted approval date is in early June? So, now is taking about 7 months to hear from USCIS? Does anyone know? Thanks!

It is just an estimation based upon what other VJ members put in. As USCIS speeds up with approvals my estimation for ex. changed from June 1 to May 30 to May 25th on VJ website.

Any touches yet????...I'm getting so tired with this whole process...especially knowing that we still have NVC to go through and the embassy's interview...When will this all end...

NOPE no touches.. even i am getting so FRUSTRATED now... i have a feeling by end of this month maybe they will start to get to october filers.....

Nothing here either. They will get to us next month I think. And I am not looking forward to dealing with NVC at all.

OMG!! Check out this timeline:

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profil...l=&id=40180


Oh dear God I pray I am not too far behind, their timeline is very similar to me.

omg WOW an october FILER!!?? wat??

Not only an October filer, but from CSC! That's great news!

[size="4"][b]HI friends, I need your guidance, i got my 1-130 petition approved as i have mentioned in the last pages,on 26th February i sent my 1-129 form along with the copy of the approved 1-130 petition to California center, to day i got the whole stuff back stating that your 1-130 petition is approved so we are not accepting this 1-129 now.
I could not get it. why?
Please help me and tell what way should i adopt now?
with which kind of visa i can apply for my wife.?

My guess its because u have already been approved by USCIS and they have forwarded your case to NVC for the next process and if approved on to your embassy for interview and possible visa! The 1-129f should have been submitted while your I-130 was being processed.

It seems that your I129F was sent in too late to get processed as a K3. How long after sending the I130 did you send the I129f? I would venture to say it was far behind. So your I-130 or CR1 visa was approved and sent on to NVC. You are on the CR1 route to an immigration visa...which is a good thing. Don't worry about the I129f anymore. Just follow the instructions you get from the NVC on the I-130.

Thought I'd take a peek at this thread & can't believe that an October filer got an NOA2! There's people still waiting from last SUMMER waiting...many of us haven't even had a "touch" since October & we filed in August! Hang in there tho, they can't keep us waiting forever (even tho it feels like it!)...

jen

Thanks to sky2, Marlita and Lebanese friend.Now i am in the way of CR1 visa too.

Thanx very much for guidance.

Seems lately they are approving cases at random, tho its probably not always the case. Have you called them about your case? If you haven't, pls do so.. if anything the call may produce a "touch" but who knows..it might get the ball rolling again on ur case. I hope so.

Yes, hang in there.
I am a Novemeber K-3 filer and my I-130 was approved on 6 March 2008. The I-129F was touched on 7 March 2008 (this may mean it is being cancelled). Stay positive.

Ohh Congrats!
You dont appear in the the Topic of the NOA 1 & NOA2 timelines!
You should be added

AWWWWW YEAH!!!

We got another one!!!

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=43320

Their NVC date is a bit off, but if the rest of the info is correct its another CSC October filer, just updated today.

thats cool!!!

I think this is a GREAT NEWS.....!!!

I'm an October 2007 filer (receipt dated January 2008). I just got off the phone with a rep at CSC and he said that I am a January filer, not an October filer. This makes me sad. I don't even know if I really believe him, but it still all makes me so sad. The RFE line said I needed to submit additonal evidence, but I have never gotten a letter and the CSC rep said I didn't have to submit anything.

...Off to sulk now.

Did you talked with and Oficial?
Or just the customer service jerks that read from website info?

Your Priority Date is the date that your Service Center received your petition!
If you sent on October and was received in October you are an October Filer
Nothing to do with the NOA Date!

Does anyone know how to do the RFE trick...I want to get a touch..

Well if you want to speak with and Oficial, you have to pass the crappy Representative, you can do this by telling
them that you havent received your noa for your I130 Application
Then they will forward you too an Oficial, you can get a Touch just requesting to check your address or if you want to change it!

I didn't speak to an official? Ugh. No wonder. Now I'm really wondering about why the automated line said I needed to submit more evidence and the customer service representative said that I didn't need to. Did he even *see* my file?

The RFE line said the same thing about me too, and the Rep said they didn't see anything in the system that I have an RFE, which would make sense, seeing how my case hasn't been touched since the NOA1 back in Jan.

You indeed ARE a October filer, you're just noted in the system with a JAN NOA1 date, but your petition was still "received in the mailroom" in October...go by that date and have trust in it and not let others confuse you cause thats all they will do. The organization of USCIS is a bit all over the place at times and people on the phone can really be confusing, but your hardcopy NOA 1 should show the date of October in which is was received in the mailroom. Go by that date.

Why do you just want to get a "call touch"? These are absoulutely nothing, just means that the CSR looked your case up online, they see exactly what you see on the USCIS website and it creates a "call touch". The touch you want is the one that comes, when you have NOT called, that means that an Adjucator accessed your file. This is who you want a touch from, not CSR. Those CSR touches can confuse you and maybe cause more anxiety. This is why the CSR can't really tell you if you have a RFE until AFTER you've gotten assigned to an adjucator.

i don't know...i just wanted to see a change in my date...i'm getting bored....

Oh jgay, you'll be fine. We are moving at a real good speed right now. Just start preparing for the NVC portion. That got me real busy as of lately.

Hmmmm...well this is a bit of a different situation as the the petitioner was a LPR, when they applied back in 2005, but they since became a USC and upgraded their petition in October 2007, with an approval in March 2008:

Check it out:

Yeah I do need to do that. I'm going to Jamaica for Easter recess with my son so I plan to bring all the documents my husband needs to sign. I can't wait to be with my hubby. This is going to be the first time my son is going down with me so I hope they hit it off good. They talk on the phone a lot even though my son hardly understands him...LOL

hehe Keep them cominggggg.. Comeon APPROVALS!! VSC wake up!! I need another touch, i feel neglected

Thanks... I feel a bit better now! Still sulking though. LOL.
But I can't help but think that it's a good thing I never call the CSC or USCIS. I'd really lose it.

Ok it looks like we got another October filer. This VJ'er says they received NOA2 (I'm assuming the hard copy), but the online system is still not up to date...saying their case is still pending.

he hasn't updated his timeline yet, maybe waiting to confirm this approval. Either way take a look:

The original post: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...5&start=405

yup i saw this too.. it would help if the timeline was updated :/

OMG! I was touched twice this week. At least I checked twice this week and the date changed 2 times. it could've changed everday but who knows. i am praying that this is cause someone is processing me. CSC is definitely in October cause there are like 3 or 4 approved petitions already so please God let this be my time.

>>>>going to pray

wowww!!!!! U MIGHT BE COMIN TO AN APROVAL !!! keep chekin every day, night morning, etc

really? can you get mutiple touches in one day?

Ok, so I just called the RFI number cause I'm not sure if i have an RFI or not. The automated system says that I do, but the customer service operator says no I don't.

I spoke to a woman who was SOOOOO nice! She was very detailed an explained things well...i was quite surprised. She wanted to know what the automated line specifically said about needing information...i told her. she said she did not see anything in her system, but she said she could see that my case was currently being processed with an adjucator!!!! I about flipped my lid. She put me on hold to get more info. She said they are currently working on October petitions so all you Octies out there..ITS OUR TIME!!!

So hopefully there really isn't a RFI and I am soon to get an email from CRISS.
