Please add me to the list. I filed my I-130 on Jan 7. I got NOA1 on Feb, 6, and was in the computer system on Feb 24. I filed my 129F for the the K-3 on Feb 11 but it was rejected due to an error I resubmitted it on Mar 4.

Good news, guys :)

Got my NOA1's today for BOTH the I-130 and I-129F ... Receive date is 2/14 for both, though - so I have to call USCIS and sort that out (both were received on 1/17 in Chicago) ... I hope that doesn't cost me a month!!!

I still haven't filed my I-129F. i was just wondering for the people applying to Indian embassy, what are your thoughts for going with one visa over the other?

it appears it's split about half way. how long will it take if i just stick w/I-130?

any ideas? i just don't know what to do at this point...

Cheers for small steps, got email notification of NOA1 for the 129-f part of my petition today. So we are waiting on NOA2 for both now. Any thoughts on how long its going to be, the processing times on USCIS site say they are on AUG 15th but the predicted time of NOA1 to NOA2 for VSC is 50 days on this site?

I have a spreadsheet that I have been keeping to track I-130 approvals. I average the dates at the bottom. It does not include I-129s, so keep that in mind. You can find a link to the sheet in my blog (link in my signature). I think us January filers have a while to wait.
