i'm so disappointed right now... i've been waiting, and waiting for my renewed passport to arrive so i can send in the i-129f. i even paid for it to be expedited (which was supposed to be within two weeks!!)

so i called the passport office today to check on the status. its not even registered in their computer yet, which means it hasn't even been looked at and could take two MORE weeks! :diablo:

it looks like now i'm not going to make the 18th deadline for the old forms. dammit. time to find someone to write my fiance's address in arabic on the new form. thats the least of my worries though... i just wanted to get my application out already!!!!!! wahhhhhhhh :9

Well that just sucks! Did you call your local federal building/office about it. Try another site maybe (national or local).

Also -is there a Mediteranian restaurant near you? Or a University? Maybe a mosque...

Someone could write that for you quick I bet, especially if you have the old form filled out for them to copy already.

Good luck!

So sorry to hear that...

Although this will set you back a bit, I'm sure that you could find someone willing to write out his info in Arabic for you.

I've sent out my papers and will do my best to not read answers to these threads...if someone brings up something I did wrong or differently, I'll just get all anguished and won't be able to do anything.

It's out of my hands noq!

The Yak Caravan arrived with my fiance's paper's but I guess when he signs his name he only signs his first name so I don't know if that would be OK with CIS or not??? He sent me a copy of the first two pages of his passport and that is how he signed it there so if it is consistent on all documents which he signs will they accept it?

Also, he sent me a passport photo but it is the small size which is standard in India(and apparently Nepal) - I'm going to have to send him one of my photos and see if he can get one of his in the same size. Except for the size it looks OK.

*sigh* more delays, wanna get this show on the ROAD.... :(

Anyone gonna be filing with the Texas Service Center in February? I hope to send our's by the end of the week.

Hello everybody!

We sent our application yesterday, February 6th, to Texas center. And now we have a question... on USPS's site it says that they attempted delivery, today at 11:44 AM (so during office hours I would say), and a notice was left. They will try a second delivery... But now I wonder, how can they get a delivery receipt from a PO box?!

We are both confused and until we get an answer from a USPS office (cause it seems that is as hard as getting an answer from USCIS :wacko: ), I was wondering if anyone had this stupid problem.

This happened to me too, don't worry. I sent mine Thurs Feb 1st and it arrived Friday Feb 2nd. But they said too a notice was left. I don't know how they can't deliver to a PO box, but anyway this past monday I checked and it said it had been delivered. Even my mom who has worked for the USPS for 25 yrs didn't know why. But be patient. It will be delivered. If its been a week or something then call though.

I am sure I am the only idgit that downloaded the files and took months to get everything done--I redid my I-129f form today as the other one was outdated--and upon further looking--so was the G325A! I am sure it wasn't that long ago that I downloaded them and I have seen that others have said previous editions were acceptable (for G325a that is). But I redid that one too! Not sure if it is something to look at for the rest of the Feb-Filers but ...maybe.

:whistle:

OH YEAH! I almost forgot

Yeay Feb-Filers!!!!! :jest::wub::dance:
