I 130

[yasser/fatimah 0]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site.

I was just wondering if anyone can share with me the whole wait time. I mailed my petition on Nov 21, 2008. It was sent to CSC. Recieved NOA Dec. 1, 2008. All this is so confusing for me.

Thanks, Fatimah

HI FATIMAH! Ahlahn! We welcome all those looking for answers to questions pertaining to our MENA region! There have been several people here who's SOs are from Egypt- Mine is from Jordan... We started our Journey (I mailed I-130 pkt in On June 30- it was recd at CSC on July 3, you can check out my time line-- It seems to be pretty similar so far for everyone from Egypt as well.) I can tell you from start to finish looks like between 7-10 months, depending unfortunately mostly on YOU! I had two "RFE's" from the NVC- that were really STUIPD mistakes! If it asks for "orginal certificates" SEND ORIGINALS!!! And don't forget to sign date and if there is a co-sponsor have them also sign and date EVERYTHING and don't forget to put it in the envelope! LOL-- those are my dumb mistakes with this whole process! But we have been at it since July '08 and hubby has his interview FINALLY INSHA'ALLAH on Feb 18.. we're almost there!!!! Good luck on your journey, and drop a line any time! TTFN!--Amy

Asalamu alikom Amy,

thanks for helping!

really its so confusing, the only thing i sent was the I 130 form. i noticed alot of ppl here also did the I 129???..when i sent it out i only sent copies, it didnt specifically state that it wanted originals but said they might request it! if i could afford a lawyer i would get one but i guess for now we just have to wait and soon insha allah he'll be here!

May Allah be with you and your hubby!

Fatimah
