I filed mines on 2/26/2007.

Concerning the I-130 form... I used the one that expired on 01/31/07 which did not have the extra proof requirement attached to part 7. Since no question was asked no extra proof was sent. Hopefully no RFE. Checking my NOA1 it was recieved on 01/11/07 so we barely made it on the time frame.

I-129F was sent on jan. 30 and the NOA1 was sent back on Feb. 5th. Now is has been transferred to CSC. Both checks have cleared. Still waiting for the I-130 to get touched.

My timeline is pretty much the same as your climo. I sent my I-130 before the 1/31/07 form expired, so I didn't send anything addtional which seems to be required now.

Looking at people's timelines, I would expect the I-129 form to get touched more often than the 130.

Are there any other K-3 February filers? I sent out the I-130 for my husband on 02/05/07, USCIS received it on 02/08/07 and I'm still waiting for the first NOA. I am not the patient kind so I hope that by reading your timelines I can feel better about all this waiting. <_<

My husband has dual citizenship with Canada and the US. He was born in the US but has lived in Canada for 30 years. We've been married for quite awhile. We have a 15 year old son.

Hi there,

Our check was cashed on March 2nd after USCIS-CSC received the I-130 on Feb 28th.

Waiting for the NOA1 hardcopy so we can send in the I-129F....

Ahh, the waiting sessions begin! Good luck to everyone...

Hi. If you have not received NOA 1 a month after USCIS has received your I-130, you should to call them and to find out what have happend. May be there is something wrong. They will resubmit it.

Thanks Kalina, that's exactly what I plan on doing. I'm waiting for my 30 days to be up so I can find out what happened with it. It sucks that I can't file my I-129F without that piece of paper. :(

Hello everybody!

My husband has sent our I-130 petitions /for me an for our child/ at 15/02/07. He has sent as an evidence of ongoing marriage only the birth certificate of our child.

I think this is sufficient. What do you think. Is it necessary to send other proofs /photos, tickets and etc./ when we file for I-129F.

i think u need to send proof of marriage but , not sure

coz i never tried the i-129 route

but whatever the waiting will take anywhere 3-6 months for the noa-2

also you need to have all pics and all and marraige certificate for the real interview

why dont you send it before itself

i dunno much but feels like only birth certificate of child might not suffice the criterion for them

its better you call uscis toll free no. and verify

good luck to all future endevours !
