Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?

[u2rsobad 0]

To u2rsobad,

It is very nice that you guys have dated for 11 years and finally marry. I have been with my fiance for 7 years since my junior year in highschool as an exchange student. And I wan not able to disclose about him to my family for a long time. A few months ago, my great grandmother died and everthing in my family was changed and finally I told my family that I am planning to marry and move to the US. And my fiance (USC) came to meet my family and actually my parents liked him. He is well educated and has a decent job even though he is a new graduate. And we are not planning to have a child, so my parents agree to let us marry

Congratulations to you and your fiance and I'm sorry to hear about your great-grandmother.

His family and I have always gotten along very well until we told them many years ago that we wanted to marry, but his father did not want his son to marry an American even though he asked me to help his son to get a job after he graduated from college, which I did. (They did however, throw a going away party for me when I left Japan...lol) It's a little different for girls to marry American men in most families. I have several Japanese friends who have married American men, but most men's families are against their son's marrying Americans. Times are changing in Japan ..slowly but surely. What part of Japan are you from? I lived in Saitama.

Me curious again ...Is that normal that they let you get married only if you don´t plan to have a child? I think children are very nice and they are part of the family...?

Thank you for your wishes Maria and John and Ur2sobad

happy to hear all the approvals for those who filed last May...hopefully we will get approved very very soon too.

every journey has an end ... and our waiting will end soon too

Any approvals today? Please update your timeline everyone. The processing time on VJ at CSC is 148 now. But, my timeline does not change. Ahhhh, Crazy. I need my NOA2 now. Do you know how long it will take from NOA2 to each embassy?

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

The tide may be turning. Projected processing times may be decreasing!

I just looked today like I look everyday and I saw that both my K3 and K1 visas processing times have decreased in wait time by two weeks!

Whoot! Whoot!

Are they catching up from the rush of applications before the July fee increase? This is much better than looking every week and finding my processing time increasing! I know it's just two weeks but it's hope! Anyone else noticed the same decreasing?

Can I get a Whoot Whoot!!?

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

W00t? I dunno...processing times for K1 are still the same...148 days average...ours predicted date haven´t moved neither way for like a week or two...and looks like we haven´t had a single approval in the last two days...on the other hand if I am not mistaken K3 average date at CSC moved from like around 202 days down to 178 days...so that looks better for you

I know it is very hard to do but try to calm down sunshinegirl. Believe me, I know that the wait is a killer but it will be sometime before they get to July filers. You do not want to crash and burn before you get approved. Hang in there.

No that is NOT usual. Maybe she means they don't plan on having a child right away. Son's have a little different responsibility in the family than daughters do and I've been told that's why many (not all) families are reluctant to let son's marry foreigners

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

Cool What´s the responsibility difference? Me being nosy

We have an new approval Yesterday Olga and Glenn Congratulations! Their NOA1 was 06-11

Too many emoticons? Again?

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

So I found edp333 by accident...they filed I-129F 05-23 I think (also filed I-130)...they got approved this Tuesday (23rd) and it says in their timeline...but the VJ statistics that I see on my screen doesn´t list them...so when somebody files for K3 with both I-129F and I-130 it doesn´t show the I-129F in the K1 statistics?

That doesn´t make any sense since when you run the detailed search, it shows if the couple filed only I-129F or I-129F and I-130 together and that´s when I run a search for K1 visas...so I dunno

I have a theory that the fires closed the CSC and that's why we heard nothing today. Laguna Nigel is not that far from some places getting evacuated. I bet you anything a lot of people called in sick if they did not close the place down.

[tucson_chick 0]

OMG. i just got the nightmare of WHAT IF THE WHOLE PLACE BURNS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ericdraven 0]

Looks like the fires have effected them a little

Hopefully it won't burn down

if it burns down I'll cry...simple as that.

I know I'll have a moan about any effect on the already painfully slow processing and how everything seems to be against our file getting to the top of the pile......but thats nothing compared to those people out there who have lost everything. My heart goes out to them.

it seems to unreal to imagine that nearly 1million people are being evacuated. 1million. that is twice my hometown. fire scares me to death. we have at least 8 smoke detectors in our house. even candles and matches make me freak out. i can't imagine how scared and frightened these people must be. and imagine the kids!!!!! the great thing is, that americans are SOOO helpful when it comes to disasters like this. everybody is donating clothes and food for these poor people. in germany people would just let you starve as long as you don't die.
