this may take me a few goes, i'm not great with image hosting!

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

well, my brother waited from 8am to 6pm in my flat that i had so rudely forgotten to fill with er... any food at all! and at 7.30pm, when everyone had given up hope, and i was walking back to the tube station from coffee in chelsea with sara80, my phone rang - it was here!

when i got home i was terrified to even open the plastic envelope it came in, but figured - ive gotta get in somehow to get my passport! i was also very skeptical because my name was written incorrectly TWICE (in two diferent ways) on the front. i didn't think that was a good sign... tentatively opened the outside envelope, saw another brown envelope inside, and my passport just lying on top.

the envelope is marked

The United States of America - OFFICIAL BUSINESS

IMPORTANT NOTICE

To be opened only by the United States Immigration of Public Health Officer

This sealed package must be surrenedered to the US immigration officer at the Port of Entry into the United States

Do not pack it - it must be hand carried

And there you go!!! I hope you all have yours in your hand very very soon.

Good luck to sara and mark tomorrow, you both rock.

And thank you to all for being there throughout this whole crazy mess of an experience!

Love

Kitty :luv:

That's great! Thanks for the images :)

sounds like most of you here have gotten your NOA2 notices already. hoping i hear something soon.

1-17-12- mailed I-129F to vermont service center

1-19-12- check cashed

1-24-12- notified of NOA1

1-27-12- NOA1 received in mail

2-9-12- last time "touched"

8-13-12---still waiting for NOA2

wondering why this is taking so long. my I-129F submission hasn't even been 'touched' for over 6 months now. the USCIS site says they try to process these applications in 5 months. i am into my 7th month now. i guess they aren't trying very hard.

anyone out there know anything about this longer wait time?

thanks and good luck everyone!

We have a serious problem here, you need to call USCIS ASAP to get a service request in. Or try get to a Level 2 CSR to find out what is happening with your case

thanks and good luck everyone!

Definitely call USCIS and see if you can launch a service request. If they give you issues, try getting in contact with your local congressman, some have had luck with them, some haven't, but they have a bit of a pull when it comes to this. Good luck! I'm hoping this is your week!
