How long before NOA2 for I-129F

[jeffmich2007 0]

Hi everyone

I have been tracking our files online USCIS.... My husband filed our I-30 back in October 2007 but with backlog it was registerd online Jan 14 th 2007 although im sure they work off the honored date of Oct 2008. Our I-129F was finally filed Jan 25 2008 because we had to wait for the NOA1 of our I-130 before we could file the I-129F. While we do have an attorney handling our files i still keep close check on the happenings. There has been some movement and it has shown updated date changes on both files. The I-130 is now dated 6th march 2008 and the I-129F shows 24th Feb 2008.

My question is what's the chances of our I-129F being approved April this year ?

I will be going out to USA on K3 as we did only file 1 I-130 for myself but my son will be coming with me he is 12 yrs of age so he falls under the I-129F with me and since it's supposed to be a quicker option for us to be with my husband we opted for K3.

Let's hope i get approval soon cause i have not seen my husband since August 2007. Work commitments are holding my hubby in US although i am praying he can get to visit me here in Scotland around April but im not holding my breathe because he just started a new job.

Anyone in the same boat as myself ...waiting on Approval of I-129F for K3

We are at Vermont Service Centre which i hear they work faster than some.

I think it's more likely that your approval will come in may, cosidering that USCIS is still approving august, sho they still have the whole month of september to go through before it gets to your file.

I dont think you have to worry about your I-129 date though, as they are aproving both applications together now

My wife and I have very similar time lines to yours…accept we are in the seemingly very slow and busy California center.

I was told to expect May, so trying to remain patient and optimistic.

It’s hard to be certain about anything when it comes to USCIS. I’ve seen a few (K-3) VJrs reporting they have received NOA2 already,.. When they only had their NOA1 in January and even February.

Here are a few of the time lines:

We never know with USCIS, we applied in May 2007, got our NOA1 in June 2007, got our NOA2 in March 2008...

We saw people apply after us being approved before us, we saw people who had applied before us still waiting for approval...

There is no average waiting time, it goes case by case.

Good luck to you all and wish you approvals as fast as possible since this is so draining.

a lot of people from mid august already had their approvals, and still not a single touch on my file

I'm thinking maybe m file is just sitting at a lazy guy's desk
