Looks like the NOA1s are slowly coming in for those of us held up in the receipting delays. I just wondered how many people who filed their I-130 to Vermont originally have had their NOA1s yet? Where are we up to?

We filed August 3rd. Our receipt notice was issued 12/26 and they say that they received our petition August 22. All the cases seem to be not online yet though. We tried to register our case online yesterday and it wouldn't accept the receipt number. Guess we'll have to wait a few more days until they update their own system.

Happy New Year everyone!

I-130 APPROVED on 5/1/08!!! Haven't gotten a letter yet, but it's supposedly in the mail ... No approval on the I-129F yet, though ... I'm wondering how long I should wait on that before deciding that I'm going with the I-130 alone ...

The way I see it, the goal of permanent residence is now well on its way - but I can still save some time in terms of getting my wife HERE if I go with the K3 because the processing time at the NVC is significantly shorter ... anyone know what the time difference is at the NVC between an I-130 alone vs the K3 "combo"???

NEETU IS HERE!

Rajee, CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN, I posted to your other posting. Did you get any touches right before your I-130 approval??? A few of us K3 filers from VSC got touches. I got one today on my I-130.

Paris Heart

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

If TOMORROW they approved my I-130, I'd go for it... I filed for the K-3 as well because I thought that I-130 would take more than 3 months for approval, and the NVC another at least 3... It seems that with the new electronic system NVC is getting faster, so.... Just take the first one you get an approval for!
