holy bloody hell, maria'n'john; I had to read that twice to make sure you WERE actually telling us you'd been approved; you're so calm!! number one vacates the spot! I might have to do a new list based on that alone (and now I can remove everyone before the Official Processing Date of July 19; completely truthfully, knowing you guys were still waiting was the only thing holding me back :D )

congratulations, guys, from the heart :) :) :)

mox - it's gonna take more than that :P

babblesgirl - well, all I can say is I'm sorry :cry:

*####### at lists*

:crying:

Thanks Still.

To be honest, I have mixed feelings: I hate giving up our spot. It was fun being # 1.....hahahaha.... Seriously, we gladly pass the torch.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Well, I called the USCIS again! No such luck. She told me that they are now starting on the July 19th applications. What???????? And then she told me that because I had an RFE that I have to add 60 more days to that date. So, if I don't hear anything by February 28th I can call them. This is sooooooo awful!! I am trying to hang in there! :angry: It's not easy. Help??!!!!????

Did you talk to one of the front-line idiots or to an actual immigration officer? Don't ever even bother with the former; insist on being transferred immediately, with no excuses or stalling, to an actual ImmigOff.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I dialed the RFE number and pressed all the buttons.

I talked to a nice dude.

He asked about the nature of the call.

I told him i wanted to know if there was a Request for Evidence on my case.

He put me on hold, and went to check with someone about it or something.

He came back and told me that my case was still pending and that it was in the final stages of the approval process, but that a decision had not been made yet.

He was very polite.

I will call again in 2 days.

this is pretty standard, no?

This worked for me: Do call again in 2 days, making sure to reach an Immigration Officer. Ask him exactly where in the "Division" your file is. When he tells you, politely ask him to send an e-mail to the floor to ask the appropriate person to carry it to the next station.

This last is "talking their language," and the action is something that they can do for you. The request to send an e-mail is also a crucial part of keeping your file moving. Try it!

No, I think it was dated some time last week. It's a hard copy that they sent to my lawer.
