Processing time of I-129F

[Buban1985 0]

Hey guys,

I have decided to post my questions adn concernes. I have submitted the I-129F application back in April, precisely it was received on April 22, 2011 and since then i have only received a confirmation letter. Now, it has been almost five months, actually it will be five months on September 22, 2011 and i have not heard anything from USCIS. I do understand that it takes up to five months, but every thime i try to check 'my case status', it only gives me 'initial rewiev'. I have called, but according to them, they are incapable to doing anything or even of providing me with further information. I guess my question qould be if anyone found themselves in situation like mine? And another questions is: Do they have to answer either with approval or nor apprvoal within five months or can it exceed the five months period?

Any information would be good.

Thanks for your time and effort.

Some people have waited a very long time to hear anything. The case status checker is not reliable nor is the phone line attendants.

They can answer with approval with RFE or denial.

Agree. In many cases there is no change to case status at all, so it tends to make people nervous. Its not reliable so dont worry about it.

The 5mths is flexible and depends on each case and who has your file. If they are slower, then it might mean yours is going to take a little longer.

When I filed I waited over 8+ months after our first notification. 5 months is normal these days especially for VSC.

I got my NOA2 in 6 months but there are some who waited 8 months or more before they recieved the NOA2. Hoping you will receive it soon. Be patient it will come. :)
