CONGRATULATIONS FAITH!!! AND THE OTHER APPROVEES :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

:dance::dance::dance::dance:

Am I the only one left without a touch in 6 months? Guess I have cooties :wacko:

Nah, there's a few I'm sure. Me and Lora, and probably a host of non-posters. I'm thinking about setting up a calendar and starting a betting pool with Pete, and whoever gets the date right gets a prize. (sole control of the radio console during christmas visit probably. we just cannot agree on music ever)

might be an interesting distraction.

My 129f was sent in July 27, I got my NOa1 - Aug 7. Since then not a single touch or anything. My dad and I are going to see a congressman tomorrow, he knows my dad from a bunch of other stuff they worked on together.. they said they would help and to come in..

what should i ask them to do?

I call USCIS and all they do is brush me off and say you need to wait 6 months...

any advice on how the congressman can help?

Well, you are not even out of order yet. There is nothing the Senator can do but to ask VSC to speed up in general. There are still petitions in front of yours and it would be illegal for them to move you up at the Senator's request.

Seriously, you shouldn't even be calling yet. If you aren't touched by January, then you should start barking.

All you need is a modest house in a modest neighborhood

In a modest town where honest people dwell

That said, La Mexicana Taqueria Juanita next to my apartment is amazing and I try to "hablo espanol" whenever I am there. Mexican immigrants bring authentic mexican food, and I loves it.

Sometimes it's easier than speaking Canadian eh?

I remember once I tried to have a conversation with a Canadian truck driver from way up north. He was speaking english but I did not have a clue what he was saying. :wacko:

Haha. Well, I'm from Louisiana, so I can't really say anything about that. I think I'm probably the hard one to understand. At least I have a drawl that slows me down so that you have time to figure out what the hell I'm saying.

My SO always messes with me about talking so slow. I'm OCD and can't stand to misspeak, so I tend to slow down and make sure each word is correct. If something is wrong, I have to go back and immediately correct myself.

Well, you are not even out of order yet. There is nothing the Senator can do but to ask VSC to speed up in general. There are still petitions in front of yours and it would be illegal for them to move you up at the Senator's request.

I thought there were people approved from Aug already?

There are, but only like 6 and they sent I-129f on July 25 at the earliest. Seriously, there's nothing the Senator can legally do about your particular case. Wait a week or two before getting too anxious. I say this because you and I are in the same boat and I am driving myself crazy.

Unless you are outside the 6 month processing mark there is really nothing a senator can to for you. The most they will say is "You are not outside VSC's normal processing times". Just hang tight until you reach that 180 day mark.

If you go to the account you created on the USCIS website and the "Last Updated" date changes, then that is a touch.

I know that I don't post much, but I log into this site several times a day. I have been able to get through this whole process by knowing that there are so many other people out there in my situation. Anyway, I thought I would report this info. I just got a touch. Now my heart is beating so fast and my hands are shaking so much that I can barely type this post. Of course, I am probably being paranoid, but I am worried about an RFE. Just thought I'd let everyone know of another status change....and perhaps (crossing my fingers) an approval to follow. I've never received an e-mail notice letting me know of the update. I went to the site and checked just now for the hell of it. I had a really rough day today, and despite my fears of receiving an RFE for some silly thing, the touch has really given me hope.

I filed on 7/21 and the NOA1 was dated 7/30.
