I feel helpless. Our approved I-129F petition is no where.

[Jina 0]

I feel helpless, and start getting emotional breakdown. I've lived apart from my husband for over two years since a few days after our honeymoon. It took over three months until the USCIS received our I-130 petition. As soon as we finally got the receipt of I-130 petition in January, we filed the I-129F petition. The USCIS finally approved our I-130 and I-129F petition on 05/05/2008 (about three months for the approval). I checked the status of our case every day online, and when I saw that it's been approved, I was so excited and happy. I thought I could come to see my husband soon.

I didn't know that the NVC took such a long time just to receive our approved petition. It has been 6 weeks since the USCIS approval, but the NVC hasn't received it yet. NVC operators just repeat that I should wait up to 90 days. Does it seem to be so easy to be away from the one you really love? They asked me to call the USCIS, so I did. I didn't know only the petitioner could call. Since I am the beneficiary, they can't talk to me. Right now my husband is extremely busy, but I have to ask him to call anyway.

Is there anyone whose case wasn't even received by the NVC over 6 weeks? Is there anything I can do? The mean NVC operator I talked to said nothing but to wait. I just feel so sad.

Has the NVC received the I-130? If so, I would suggest just following the CR1. If he pays online, you can get through the NVC in about 4 weeks. Then you will enter the US with a CR1, and it is almost half the cost. Instead of worrying about the I-129F, just go with the I-130.

Try calling the USCIS mis-information line at 1-800-375-5283. Use option 1 for already approved petitions and let the agent know your approval has not reached the NVC yet.

Anyway, this worked for me.

If CFC followed normal procedures, they approved both petitions the same day and sent only the I-129F petition to NVC. NVC's automated system never has any information on an I-129F for spouse. If you are giving NVC the I-130 case number, they may never get it. Have you checked the case number for the I-129F?

Toughen up.. grow some balls and use another man (voice) to call as the petitioner and start GRILLING them for questions... you should know your husbands info by now.. Get to the bottom of it because it could've been lost in the "mail" or some #### like that... you never know.

see my previous posts on how to get connected to a officer at VSC almost instantly...

Thank you very much for your reply. When I talked to operators at NVC and email them, I provided them with the USCIS receipt number of our approved I-129F petition. I double checked if the receipt number was correct at the USCIS website. It was correct. I am very worried and nervous.

Do they have your I-130 at the NVC?

I haven't checked on my I-130 case at the NVC. I don't know whether they have it or not. I've just focused on my I-129F petition for K-3. Thank you.

Well you should find out if they have your I-130. If they do, just go with it. You could have been complete with your I-130 by now. instead of worrying so much about the I-129.
