Get this...

[Rings 10]

I called the USCIS to figure out what is going on with our NOA2 and the lady said that our petition was still being processed and I told her "no it's not" and I explained to her that Loke already has packet 3 and that I need the NOA2 in order to adjust his status when he gets to the states.

I told her I knew our petition was approved because of the letter that I got from NVC saying they received the APPROVED I-129F and she said "that's odd" then they should have sent the notice. I said "YEAH" ... and then she asked if I filed an I-130

and I said yes and she checked that and she asked me if I had gotten a notice from them on that and I said "No" and she said "This is so weird" (note: this was the second lady I talked to because the first one didn't get it either and had to go get her boss)

She said that the decision for the I-130 was made on May 16th and that I should have gotten a notice of some kind and I said "Was it approved?" and she said "I can't tell you that"

I said "well someone tell me something.. send me a notice or something" and she asked why I even filed for the K3 and I said that I just want to be with my husband. She and I chatted about how the I-130 is a better visa and she gave me enough hints for me to know that our petition for the I-130 was likely approved.

She sent a request to have both notices sent out and told me that if I wanted to just be with Loke then I should continue the K3, but IF we are approved on our I-130 and we were willing to wait on it then it would be a better visa... I think we were but I think we should wait until I get the actual notices because she wouldn't tell me.

Do you think that it would be better to just wait for the I-130 if it is not going to require too much of a difference? I know it is a better visa and it is the one we really wanted to get, but he had his medical and everything scheduled. Can we actually get both? Can that happen?

Oh my god rings! that is so weird. I hope they won't hold our I129F cause there was a 3 months gap between our CR1 and K3 applications. OMG...

Keep in touch girl.

That's USCIS for you! I had some hassle with them when I had my petitions there. Never got NOA2 either, and they couldn't tell us what the status was, and by the time they sent me an email with the official information, I was already in the states on my K3.
