I can sympathize with your frustration! The order in which applications are approved has never made a whole lot of sense, but after the IMBRA fiasco it has gotten much worse.

Before IMBRA, Vermont would usually approve an application in a week or so, while California took 2-4 months. Now all the I-129f's from Nebraska and Texas were shipped to California. That is completely illogical.

Hang in there--I hope you get your approval soon!

Note: the two very short ones in August are the same person, and if you look carfully she origionaly sent I-129f back in March, and gave up and resent it this month. I think they had already approved her March petition and just sent her the NOA2

The ones from June/July were pushed through while waiting for the IMBRA RFE's to be returned from the recalled petitions from the months befor June.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.

Yeah, you're right the two in August are from the same person. But one of the July's was just approved today, and the other was approved on the 15th.

The was plenty for them to work on...there is no excuse for this kind of blatant incompetance.

Hi Mew

I've never heard of Babelfish. I use MDGB translator. Ya I get plenty frustrated with the translations sometimes. I'm getting better at word choice to get a respectable translation. Just checked out Babelfish. It's not as fast as MDBG because you don't need to select within a drop down to translate either way. I Yahoo a lot with my baby in China and I like the speed of the translations both ways. A lot of times I'll post the Chinese translation and check how close it is to what I'm trying to convey. Then I have the opportunity to correct prior to sending the message. I do like the fact that I've got an alternative now. Thanks

Saya mengerti Bahasa indonesia. Lo mengerti? Mungkin mengerti bahasa istri kamu dulu, ya? Tidak perlu babelfish.

In other words, study and learn the language of your intended. I struggled with Bahasa Indonesia at first, but I was able to communicate in my job there. Much to learn yet.

Fortunately, my Fiance speaks better english, than I do bahasa indonesia.

Cheers!!!

I saw squares, what up wit dat mew? :blink:

This is one of my earlier post concerning this subject:

"...Besides 31 Jul and 01 May, where there were several May and a few Jun NOA1s approved, there have been very little approvals outside of March and April. There are a few June NOA1 sprinkled in here and there but March and April now reign supreme. We'll see as more approvals come in..."
