Hello Darnell,

The first three letters were EAC. Same with our NOA for I-130. Can we please know why you ask?

Thanks!

EAC -> Eastern Application Center -> Vermont Service Center.

My confusion lies in 'sending something to Texas'.

Thanks for answering me, though.

Yea, we were confused about where to send it actually. But we called the USCIS three times and gave us the same address over and over. So we did it. And we found out that our files are really in Vermont. So maybe they were the one's who directed.

Hey, I'm still new here. I added you in my friends' list but I can't see you yet.

I'm sure you are aware that the I-129f that you filed will be administratively closed once it reaches NVC with an approved I-130. Prepare the documents for the Cr-1 visa

Good luck

The cr-1 will take about 8 - 12 months (good thing, longer if you are from Canada), read the link I posted and see what the next steps are after USCIS

Good luck

8-12 mos? That's really long We are hoping and praying that we can be together this January 2011. Is there any way? Is this possible?

[canadian_wife 1,795]

Dont' set unrealistic expectations for yourself. It's looking at 5 months for USCIS approval according to https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processingTimesDisplay.do;jsessionid=acbF6I12xjOPFdLWRjQSs

then 1-3 months for NVC.

Dont' set on January 2011, that is unrealisitc

Good luck

Well, ok. But that is never unrealistic because some were able to get it through. Their I130 got approved after 39days. Also, the NVC will be the one who will decide if 129F or I130 will be pursued in which 129f for K3 visa is lesser waiting. There's nothing wrong with hoping anyway. We just don't want to settle for less. If that's your mind-set then there's nothing wrong with that. We are just thinking outside of the box which also possible.

I'm just giving you advice from someone's who's been through it, it took us 10 months, some Canadians have already been waiting 14 months

Good luck

Took me a year. Don't get your hopes up.

[Matt and Evieve 1]

Ok, I will just update soon if anything comes up. There is only one thing for sure. We have different cases.
