[cmnb 0]

hey guys,

i just checked the status online. the last updated column has today's date on it. i am not sure whats going on here. my file is being updated everyday since 06/09 when it was received. i am wondering if this is the true date or maybe i am not looking in the right place. any thoughts??

hello all, i just recieved my NOA1 today. there is something weird...the receipt number on this notice is different from the one on the check that they cashed. when i enter them online, i can view a status on both of the cases. doesnt make sense?!?!?! any thoughts?

Thirdsjen - could you please update your spreadsheet with my receipt date. thanks,

Received NOA1 for I-129F today. The notice date on NOA1 is for June 6, 2008.

I am leaving for India today and will be back in a month or so. I wish everyone good luck and pray to THE CREATOR of this universe to comfort us in our difficult times.

mindmaster,

Have a great trip to India. I am praying as well for speedy approvals for all of us....

You know I do have a friend that married and brought over her Pakastani husband.. it took quite a while.. the first thing she said to me is "file the I129f right away" she said she wished she would've done it earlier.. I am not joking my sister this is something she struggled with (and i with her the last months). They too were stuck in AP and he was from the mountians in a very small village.....

Sorry... to add to all of the frustration is I sent my I 129F 7 days ago and nothing yet... i know its still "normal" timelines but i got my I130 approved it 3 days... why so long for this one??

Also, my husband only took a week to get his interview for work at the Spainish consulate... he went today with his medical reports and contract and they said to come back next week for his visa???? #######!!!!!!!! Spain can do that on a dime but the U.S. takes years???? what's the F*%king deal?

Sorry you guys I know it's inappropriate for me to behave like this but really what can we do... class action law suit? and I've only been in this a month.

Rajaa don't lose hope. Trust me you are not alone in this. For me and my husband its been a long and frustrating journey....but then again we are not alone in this. I just read a heartbreaking post by a sister on this forum and how she was repeatedly denied an expedite even though her case was serious. Then I read her husband has received his visa last week and that has brighten up my morning a bit now. I am the beneficiary Rajaa. My husband is the USC. The research so far has showed that the AP is tougher for men from muslim countries than women. PK sadly is on that list too.

yay! see, cmnb? all it takes is patience.. it will happen. btw, what is your Service Center?

welcome, makaha and shiri! i'll also add you guys to the tracker..

Longbranch, remember how i said, Lakers in 5? ok, i changed my mind. LAKERS in 7. haha! or better yet, BOSTON in 7 cuz that's what it seems to be, according to the officials!! GRRRR!!!! they want this stinkin drama!!!!

Sorry kid. Maybe they will pull a Red Sox miracle out and do the "Never been done before". I cannot believe that Pierce can actually play the way he has. He broke many a Jayhawk heart two of the three years he was at Lawrence. I think it was more Roy, but that is another story. I guess that some maturity finally set in. It looks like the Lakers are a year too soon. Look out for the future with your boys. You may be too young to remember the '80's/'90's Pistons and Bulls. Had to lose to the eventual champion the year before they went on a run.

Congratualtions to cmnb. Glad to see that you are on the board. I too was one of the many touches in one week. Thought I was in the Divinyls for awhile.

[nunyab 0]

I am sorry.. I am happy for those that have recieved the touches... I haven't been touched since my NAO1 and it's been a week since my I129F was recieved... and nothing.... I don't know if that's good or bad.. just not knowing is the hardest I think.

take care everyone... I am going to bed.

you guys.. this thread is becoming all sad.. stop it! hehe.. seriously. we are depressed enough.. i tried posting earlier and it wouldn't let me.. weird. nway, cmnb, i put your NOA1 at 6/9/2008. is that your notice date? how come you have like a billion touches? no fair! i had one but then that was in "induced" touch cuz i changed my address.

hang in there everyone. it will all be over soon. couple more months or something. hey, i've been apart from my husband (then-boyfriend) for the past 4 years.. what's a couple months or 8 months? it's nothing. just keep yourself busy. work work work.. next thing you know, the weeks are passing. trust me, it works.

Next year for the Lakers, all right. i have never wanted to throw the remote that bad at my tv before. friggin' boston! you guys are way too good!! well, let's just say, they were a little bit more hungry for that championship than the Lakers. Yes, surprisingly enough, I do remember the 80's and 90's. i'm not that young.. plus, my brother tapes every laker championship..

Yeah I agree with you, please don’t be sad and do not get depressed, don’t let this waiting time destroy our lives. We all are in the same boat we wait and wait, but to sit in front of the internet and wait on a email from the Service Centers its not what I want to use my time too, it’s to much sadness with that. I try to make be busy with work, sporting and good company with friends. Right now, we Europeans can follow the football at TV (my husband are sometimes more Swedish than me now!!) and enjoy the beauty summer season we have.

My husband and I are always trying to plan for dates when we meet. This time we both travel to Philippines for 2 weeks vacation, that was the place there we had meet each other the first time. This is our second honeymoon we are going to celebrate. When I come back to Europe in the July, I hope to see someone of you approved.

Good luck to everyone

Sorry, didn't mean to step on toes with any age reference. Not a fan of Boston, love Doc though. He was what players should be today. In the day, I was a Sixer fan. '82/'83 best single season champion that never gets talked about. They won 60 games, went 12-1 in the playoffs and had the most gifted athelete, prior to his Airness. Moses, Andrew Toney, Bobby Jones, Mo Cheeks, and the good Doctor, they actually played team ball.

I did what I could to not visit here and CFL this week as much as in previous weeks, too many sad tales, too many in much worse shape than I am. The only thing I am depressed/pissed about is that we were shuffled between para's for almost four months before the I-130 was filed. One of my favorite quotes is "The internet, not just for porn anymore". I used it to find an attorney but not these resources, hindsight.

LOL.... You're right.. I will chose to change my atitude.... and go take a shower lol I was considering reinlisting in the Army to keep me busy or enroll in school in the fall for something fun... anyway. Sorry I know not much about Bball but I do remember being a fan when the Trailblazer (who are they again?) were "The" Team....lol yeah quite a while.

thidsjen-the notice date is june 9 and receive date is may 29th. thanks again.

no offense taken, Longbranch.. don't know much about basketball but i just love watching the game when i have the time. i can't dribble for the life of me! i use to be a pretty good shooter when i was younger, at least that's what my brother told me.. now, forget it. sorry to hear about all the months that were lost. at least you are on the right track now. that's all that matters. past is past. we can regret them or we can just move on.

everyone wake up and take showers! hahaha.. just kidding.. i'm still awake cuz i just am. i sleep in the day and stay awake at night. been like that since i started working from 7pm - 7am at the hospital. which reminds me, i have to go to work tonight.. oops.. guess i gotta go get some sleep then..

Rajaa, PORTLAND Trailblazers... eeeeewww.. haha! i have always hated them for some reason. i just recently started watching LOST. rented them on netflix to pass the time when i'm not working. find something.. trust me.. time will pass by so quickly.. while i was preparing for my wedding, it felt like 2 seconds then THE DAY came. it was cuz i was constantly doing something.

cmnb, got it.. that's what i put on the tracker..

another weekend, guys.. next thing you know it will be july.. hang in there!

Here's the link to my mini APRIL/MAY TRACKING SPREADSHEET FOR 1-130s

The spreadsheet looks great! I love how you have it done! Thank you for doing that!

[shiri 0]

Received NOA1 for I-129F today. The notice date on NOA1 is for June 6, 2008.

I am leaving for India today and will be back in a month or so. I wish everyone good luck and pray to THE CREATOR of this universe to comfort us in our difficult times.

Yes, thank you for that. I have a question which you may or may not see soon, but is this touch you got on the 11th just them filing our stuff? I have had two touches. Once on the 6th of June and once on the 9th of June. I am hoping that the NOA2 will be this upcoming week or the next. I am hoping my dates are close to those on the spreadsheet, somewhere between 15 and 24... but ultimately I just would like to be approved and be able to live side by side with my husband. Best wishes!
