Hey Sept people! (and any potentially knowledgeable lukers)  I had a question about travel permission out of the country once you have gotten married and are doing all the necessary steps/paperwork for residency/work visa.  My future hubby's brother is getting married in September and I wasn't sure if he would even be able to go to the wedding.  By that time he should be in the states and married to me by my calculation.  I just wasn't sure if anyone knows how long it takes after you get married to get permission to travel back to your native country (in his case Spain).

 

Any info appreciated!

He will apply to ap(advance parole) at the same time with AOS. this when approved gives the permission to travel outside of US while waiting for the AOS to get approved. I don't know how it is looking at the moment but I believe it is around 3-4 months normally.

Any September filler received and approval notice so far?

Nope, nobody so far, sorry. It will be another two months at least. Looks like they'll be starting with July today, but they stopped updating cases online so we're going to have to rely on the VJ July filers to update their timelines. Keeping my fingers crossed that happens soon

That's about right. No RFE/RFIE here and took 106 days from AOS received to EAD+AP arrival (well, expected delivery according to Informed Delivery...). YMMV, but 3-4 months is a fair estimate.

Welcome to you! ☺️ We’re definitely going to make it! We’re already half way to NoA2. Getting jittery

Hello from London! ☺

This wait for the NOA2 is tough. Do you think it's possible we could receive our NOA2s at the end of January or in February.. or is it likely to be later than that? Praying that we hear back soon!

oooh man - why are we always so blessed with these neighbors?

I think the trick is, enter plane with earbuds, have a scarf around neck to cover face/nose if needed! lol

Well its now officially 103 of waiting for NOA2.  Does this make me halfway thru ?  . 

 

Seriously though I think I should have taken the CR1 route cause now that I look at the big picture it might have been better.  Well I guess I can wait this out and keep my thoughts on buying my ticket back to Morocco.

for some reason I am not even going coucou, as I don't expect feedback until end of march / early april at this point...

 

just hang in there

[NicolaBolton87 161]

Heyyyyy all,

 

Well I'm currently on day 124 of the NOA1-NOA2 wait... it's gone a lot quicker than I thought it would when we filed, so can't complain.

We're USA to UK. I'm the beneficiary (England) and my fiancé is in Pennsylvania. We're strong and holding in there and more than anything just excited that we may hear back in just a couple of months. 

 

How are other September filers are doing?

On a side note, where can I find the stats for how many I129F applications have been sent over the last few months and how many approved/denied etc?

 

Love and luck to all

I just bought my ticket back to Morocco. Got a Fairly decent deal. 788$ round trip and it's direct to Casablanca and then I take a small flight to Marrakech. Nothing to do in Casablanca lol hopefully we will blink and they'll be processing September applications 

Where did you find these deals??? I want to go see my fiance in march but i couldn't find a good price 

[Mayi & MiMi 172]

There is a site called Scotts deals and they are deals on tickets that were wrongly priced.  Im going to start looking there for tickets

Im in Cali and the best I have found was 1200.  I like going in March cause my guy and I have birthdays in March (the 4th for me and the 31st for him).  Im kinda waiting to buy my ticket cause I want to go to the interview (inchallah).
