Well as some of you know i made a petition(I-129f) for my fiance,shes from nicaragua,I ask the person that did our paperwork how long this was going to take and she told me that it was usually 6 months but that i should look forward to 8 months or longer :crying: .I said ok and told the bad news to my fiance,but anyway just to be togueter any wait was worth while,but then to my surpriseat the end of july i recived a letter from the california center saying that my petition was approved :hehe: thats not even 30 days since i sent the check and everything on july the 7th,the letter said that now the were going to send it to the state departments national visa center wich i think is very fast,then today 30 days letter i get another letter,this time from the national visa center saying that they have approved the petition and that now is was going to nicaragua and that she will be getting some kind of packet :blink: is it just me or the gods are smiling at me :D and if it is happening soon do i have to be there for her interview, i ask cause i just came back from nicaragua and work wont let me go again this year,i apreciate any input you guys can give me on this,thank you.

Wow, that was faster than a wild injun going to , well, nevermind. Suffice it to say, that was fast for CSC. Indeed you are a blessed man. Congratulations. (F)

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

You are one lucky man!

Your fiance(e) can expect package 3 anytime now and once she got her interview set and approved, you can be together in any minute!

You don't have to be at the interview, just make sure that you've got all the evidences they are looking for... one bad thing about being luck is you have less time to get things perpared. After all, wish you good luck!

Alisa 79,

If it makes you feel any better, I've only received one touch. I mailed my petition June 21st and the only touch I have so far was on July 8th, probably cause they moved my petition from one office to another.

Ok guys sorry about the time line thing,but its done now,hopefully i did it right,by the way the letter that the nvc sent said that our visa stuff was going to get there (nicaragua) around the 11th and that afther that i could contact the embassy to find out the status of her packet and interview date.ts is amazing,cause how do you go from someone telling you 8 months to what it looks like 4 or 5 mo. max :dance: im happy beyond words :D ,thanks guys and i hope this is a sign that you guys are also not to have to wait so long,the best of luck to all of you.
