Nope haven't had anything at all. Didn't send it tracked so can't check on its whereabouts

Has you check been cashed?

Word of advise for everyone. Make a copy of everything you send. Put a copy in the cloud and pdf a copy to your fiancé as backups. Always send your documents with tracking information.

Hello December filers. I just found this post. I mailed out my I-129f on December 15 2015. Received email confirmation from uscis on December 28. I received the noa1 hardcopy on January 4 with a date of December 24.

Just chilling out waiting for the noa2 :) I already have everything else ready to go, just waiting on you California! Looks like they are moving quick so we will be at the finish line in no time.

Good luck all!

Anyone else that sent their packet around November 27?

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I bought my air freight ticket back to HCMC.

Last week I went to my banker to prep financials.He said he went through this process two years ago.

He told he went through similarly as I, he how they met and became a couple, very conservatively, with uncanny similar time periods. We discussed what we learned about our government's role. trying it's bureaucratic best, (and I mean this respectfully), ...to ensure through our country's codes immigrants are successful in meeting a standard, a recognized criteria for relationships, seemingly an impossible task, "approving" a couples emotional commitment to marry.

Really, if all couples had to experience this would it matter? ...my fiancé and I to think so.

Our thread to understandings: We chat as she is winding down for the night, (early AM here) We talk on the phone just a little as she preps in the morning and I am prepping dinner.

Our hour + of Yahoo time, every evening; has given us both precious communication time; time we would not otherwise have had without interruption or distraction, ...of living, if we were living in the same country!

Time to laugh, love and learn, and really know more than if we were in the same place. Including misunderstandings, family issues, our life plans, pretty cool!

WE have listened and shared struggles, appreciation for each other's tumults, cultures, etc., etc., than we would ever have gotten otherwise. In other words, our relationship has matured greatly.

As everyone goes forward to this interview thingy, my fiancé and I know it is a process that has made us closer, stronger together, that's it.

We pray all cherish this time apart. Distance as closer.

Kind regards,

KimMerrell

PS:

01 December package 3 arrives at her home in Vn. She called me jumping up and down, dropped her phone.

We decided to slow down during December, ...time for her to spend w family, go over submitted papers, the things required to do next. (She) obtained a "I am single paper, paid for her police background check (about a three week turnaround time)

After 01 January, she had completed her single paper, and is waiting for background check to return,

In the meantime she has moved from her home up North to work in the south again, near HCMC, rented a place for us there, our "first" place of our own, and is settled into work again. Me too.

AS I said in the first sentence, I've got my air freight bought to go back to her in HCMC end of February. (Yes, it is emotionally and financially difficult for both of us)

We are gambling on the interview happening as we are living in Vn. in March? maybe? April likely? ???? ...we dunno, we do know we are doing this together, that's it.

I hope this cha-ta qua' was somewhat enjoyable and calming.

I see 13 more approvals today when I check 100 cases around my number. One approval 2 before mine and the case right after. Fingers crossed we will get ours today.

When I check my timeline it says that if the estimated date has passed we should call. I am thinking I will give it to the end of the week.

How do you check case numbers like that? Like all around yours and such?

My fiance is ready to go for police clearance immediately after I get NOA2. We also have everything ready for packet 3 that can be prepared ahead of time as well. Just waiting for that NOA2....

Good luck everyone. How many December filers have NOA2 already?

I'm not but I guess you could do that if you wanted. The app allows you to choose a range of case numbers. I simply choose a range of 100 cases.

After using the app and doing a range of a bunch of numbers, I did see somebody that was approved from December 11.

Without going REALLY crazy, that's the latest date I've found.

My android tracking app doesn't give me that option? I can only type in or scan a case number. I typed in over a thousand before mine and it still says it's been received, nothing else for those
