I-129F March 2017 Filers

[dkmfan85 832]

In case anyone was wondering where they come up with the January 15th date... It's complete nonsense and 2+ month old data. I suggest saving yourself the headache and time of trying to contact Tier 1, because this is all they are going to tell you, and this is the same line they've been giving since April 30th.

@TearsOfBabylon I copied it from one of the earlier threads a couple of months ago. Eric hasn't called yet, he will try on Wednesday, so we don't know if it's really a good script 

 

 

• Phone number: 603-334-0700.

• If it goes straight to voice recording, it means that the lines are busy.  Hang up right away.

• If it rings once and then goes to a voice recording, it means they will take your call.  You will hear a voice recording with a woman.  As soon as she starts talking, press 1.

• You will be directed to a voice recording with a man.  As soon as he starts talking, press 7.

• You will be put on hold.  

• When an employee answers, they will ask you for your case number.  Tell them that you don't have a case number yet, but you have your USCIS receipt number.  This was my standard line: "My fiancé and I applied for a k-1 visa.  We received our I-797 (Notice of Action 2) from the California Service Center on February 16, 2017.  W are calling to see if the California Service Center has forwarded our case."

• The employee will enter your case number into their system.  If the case has not been forwarded, they will tell you to call back again in a few days.

• If the case has been forwarded, they will ask you for your full name and date of birth and your fiancé's full name and date of birth.  Then they will give you your case number (important) and your invoice number (which they said was important but we never used).

After you have your case number, you can check your case status here:

https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx

 

An important addition from Feb filers -  If you're an electronic case, make sure you're calling the immigrant line 603-334-0700, then press 5. If not, the agent you speak with will not be able to see your file and will keep telling you they haven't received your case yet.

Just for anyone curious - I'm not sure how reliable the email system is from NVC but this is a copy of the email my fiancee (petitioner) received from NVC about two weeks ago. My case still shows on the tracker site as "In Transit" though. @TearsOfBabylon

Any more approvals? Ours is March 16th but we haven't receive any news on the NOA2. Starting to wonder if we should call them.

I think there was one approval today (kl_audio with a 3/28 notice date). We're 3/13 received with a 3/16 notice date, so just a couple days ahead of you, nothing so far.

 

Today I looked up every NOA2 for our country (Canada) this year and tomorrow our 117 day wait will tie the longest non-RFE case for Canada this year. Something's gotta happen for us March filers soon, this is ridiculous.

There's a few of us, actually. I think there's still 8 pending Canadian filters for March, all 3/11 or later.

My dates are the same as yours (3/13-3/16), but for Denmark. Tried calling USCIS today and they gave me that line about processing January 15th petitions.. 

 

I wonder what accounts for the delay. Our petition had a lot of photos and logs, because the lawyer I consulted advised us to "overwhelm the officer" with evidence, so there would be little doubt as to the relationship. Could that be why it's taking a while, with many others' later dates already approved? Too much material? I hoped it would have the opposite effect.
