Hi All. I just got my NOA1 via email 8 minutes ago:

Receipt Number: WAC0xxxxxxxxx

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status:

This case has been approved. On September 18, 2006, an approval notice was mailed. If 30 days have passed and you have not received this notice, you may wish to verify or update your address. To update your address, please speak to an Immigration Information Officer during business hours.

There's NO need to congratulate me at all. I didn't post this to gloat or to pour salt on those who are still waiting from March or April or May. I am sorry to those folks who have waited so long. I sincerely hope you get your approval very soon. Again, NO need to congratulate me.

I posted this message to offer statistics and to give some hope to CSC petitioners that it's getting much better at CSC now. My approval from CSC took around 55 days. I really can't ask for more from CSC. I filed directly with CSC.

Best wishes to everyone else at CSC! I hope you all receive your NOA2 very soon in the future!

Cheers!

January 2004: Met Laurent at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris

February 2004: We became an actual couple

January 29th, 2006: I left France to return to the United States--AWFUL to say goodbye!

June 2006: Finally convinced Laurent that a K-1 visa would be more time-effective than trying to get an H-1

August 1st, 2006: The K-1 petition is finally in the mail and on its way to Nebraska...WooHoooo!! And yes, I remembered to attach the check! :-)

August 3rd, 2006: USPS online tracking shows that my petition (sent certified) was received at the NSC at 5:05am

August 14th, 2006: NOA1 received USPS!! (I-129F recv'd at CSC: 8/4; NOA date: 8/10; last touched: 8/11)

October 2nd, 2006: I MISTAKENLY thought we had an approval...False alarm...Back to waiting...

October 3rd, 2006: TOUCHED!!

October 4th, 2006: REALLY AND TRULY APPROVED!!! Email notification lists 10/3 as the NOA2 date.

Later that same day: TOUCHED...AGAIN! Hope that means I'm in a cozy box and moving to NVC this week...

October 10th, 2006: Received official NOA2 via snail mail.

October 19th, 2006: Case received at NVC!! AWESOME!!

October 20th, 2006: Case forwarded to Paris!! DHL says two shipments were headed that way. Must be in there somewhere...

October 27th, 2006: Received official receipt letter from NVC via USPS.

Congratulations! :dance::dance:

I'm VERY glad when my estimates turn out to be much too conservative. I wish that for everyone!

I also appreciate your comments about the poor folks who have been waiting much too long at CSC.

Hi All. I just got my NOA1 via email 8 minutes ago:
Receipt Number: WAC0xxxxxxxxx

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status:

This case has been approved. On September 18, 2006, an approval notice was mailed. If 30 days have passed and you have not received this notice, you may wish to verify or update your address. To update your address, please speak to an Immigration Information Officer during business hours.

There's NO need to congratulate me at all. I didn't post this to gloat or to pour salt on those who are still waiting from March or April or May. I am sorry to those folks who have waited so long. I sincerely hope you get your approval very soon. Again, NO need to congratulate me.

I posted this message to offer statistics and to give some hope to CSC petitioners that it's getting much better at CSC now. My approval from CSC took around 55 days. I really can't ask for more from CSC. I filed directly with CSC.

Best wishes to everyone else at CSC! I hope you all receive your NOA2 very soon in the future!

Cheers!

Ya, I got mine today too, in 60 days. Somebody must be lighting fires under some butts at CSC! :lol:

It's only getting better at CSC if they are processing your petition!!

It's still a ####### shoot!!!! What the heck are they thinking there???

196 days vs 55 days ??? Hmmmm? Who should we work on first??

I don't want anyone to wait as long as I or others have. But YES this still pisses me off becoz they are spending TIME on petitions that should not be worked on yet!!! What is so hard about making it somewhat FAIR??

This is why I never play the Lottery!! I never win!! My file and other March filers should be worked on and done before any other files are worked on PERIOD. Then move on...to April...and May.....what is so damn hard about that??

They are either retards or just totally apathetic to what they cause..

Gonna try again.
