September Filers!

[wind 0]

I129-F Sent 9/11, Delivered 9/12 to CSC, It is 9/22, 10 days later, and check not cashed!!!

Give it a few more days. Some ppl didn't get their noa1/check cashed for 2 weeks, some even longer. Hang in there!

Hello Everyone,

Mailed in I-129F on Sep. 4, delivered to CSC on Sep. 6 (according to USPO tracking numbers). Check not cashed yet, nothing! Really envious of those who sent their packages to VSC, and got their NOA1 in a week. Really don't know what to expect now. Some guys have been waiting for more than two months for NOA1. Why such big discrepancy?

TWO returns, Daly?! what on earth happened?!

TWO returns, Daly?! what on earth happened?!

The first time, they said there was no cheque attached which I found hard to believe since Matt made a fuss checking to see if he had enough funds before mailing it off. He got an attached letter stating what amount to pay. So he sent it off again.

Second time, they sent it back that it didn't follow the new increase in fees which wasn't mentioned in the letter attached before. :S But, now it's just water under the bridge, but still... a month lost because of both returns. *sulk*

It's ok - it seems like a big deal at first but there is so much waiting involved that eventually you get to the point where it doesn't seem to matter anymore!!!

When I first mailed all my evidence to my OH it was the beginning of July. Two weeks later it still hadn't arrived. Then it turned up on my doorstep with a stamp on saying it was "undeliverable as addressed" (I was sending it to my OH who I have been mailing things to for years!) - at least I remembered to put on a return address!!! I re-addressed it (to humour USPS) and sent it again and it arrived a week later - but again, three weeks lost due to the crummy postal service

It does annoy me even now because those three weeks could have really helped as we have our wedding booked for 11th Feb!!! But at the end of the day like you say, it is all water under the bridge and we can't change anything - we just have to get on with things

PS - love looking through the threads and seeing the later filers with the little sigs - you get to the point where you hang out here so much you fiddle about with it and end up with some enormous monstrosity like mine ;D

Good luck guys and happy waiting!

Lol, I know what you mean. I want to plan stuff too, but I can't because I have no guarantees to get the visa by then. And then I think also "But that's ___ weeks more I have to spend without him!" ::resumes sulking::

Oh well, we'll all hang in there and cross our fingers.

[Jeraly 4]

Haha! Well at least you have the sense to hold off! We didn't realise how long the visa process was before we booked our wedding and even when we did, we didn't account for the mess due to changes in Service Centers and the fee increase!!!

Guess everything will work out in the end with a little patience

Hey Everyone!

First post here. I-129F sent to CSC Sept 5 and was received on Sept 6. No news as of yet...NOA1 or depositing the check.

For those of you who have already received the NOA1, and said you did so before the hard copy came in the mail, where were you checking? How did you do that!!?? I would love to know if they have begun to work on our application!

Thanks! And good luck to everyone....

Hey. Once your check gets cashed (keep checking your balance) get a copy of your check from the bank, and on the back of it will be a stamped reference number beginning with WAC (for CSC applicants). This is your personal case number and you can use it to trace the progress of your case via the USCIS website. This is what we did, and we got to find out the date of our NOA1 6 days before we got our hard copy in the mail.

Good luck.

hello sept filers just popping in to wish you all a speedy as possible approval. I'm July filer hoping to be in NE by march. I'm actually suprised at how fast the last 71 days since NOA1 have gone looking back but not fast enough. We will all be with our loved one in time. Here's a wee prayer in posted in another thread just to keep us all going.

Our I-129f, who art in CSC,

speedy approval be our aim.

Thy processing come,

please no RFE to be done,

thru NVC and straight to embassy,

give us this day our interview dates

and forgive our bulging reference files

as we forgive you for requesting so much

and lead us to our visas

to deliver us to our loved ones

For you have our lives on your desk

The power and approval stamp

We are pleading and begging,

AMEN

Also, if you have online access to your bank account, once the USCIS has cashed your check your bank will scan a copy into the system, so you'll be able to click on an icon next to the item on the statement to see the copy of the back with the receipt number starting with WAC. then go to this website to register to check the staus online: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/selectuser...yCOPjZWewr3H0ur

I LOVE IT! you should post that on the july filers thread! that'll probably be our mantra for the next 2-4 months, depending on how "fast" our approvals are....

Sept. filers Good luck and Godspeed to all of you, the faster USCIS get's through May-Aug files the faster they'll get to you. Keep the faith and you'll be together with your honey's before you know it!
