Anybody notice a "touch" date change prior to receiving NOA2?

Anybody notice a "touch" date change prior to receiving NOA2?

Wow Vermont is depressing. Obviously my comments were directed toward those in line at CSC.

Am I just being too optimistic?

I look at Igor's list and I see a 75% response rate...NOA2 or RFE for Jan.

I feel like I'm getting to the top of the pile, don't you?

I'm a 3rd week Feb filer and just looking at things, my gut tells me I will hear something in June.

My packet was assembled with precision.

Japan doesn't seem to be a high-risk country etc...

Evidence of multiple meetings and multiple transpacific flights included.

Geo-location screenshots for each hard copy photo etc.

Definitely not a shoebox full of receipts at an IRS tax audit type of application.

No touches since 2/25 however.

Good luck all!

Waiting SFO.

Flight Arrived 10:40 at Gate.

Board showing in customs.

I'm totally not stressed, we are totally above board, following rules...but what if she gets turned around.

Return Ticket, Full 129f packet, next month European trip tickets ex Japan all PDF'd on iPad.

Printout of NOA1 and return e ticket.

No employer, no apartment lease.

We'll see......

Sorry for the delay. Yes she made it. Not without the full blown secondary however. Every question under the sun. Everything answered truthfully.

Visiting boyfriend, yes engaged, yes resigned recently and moved back to Japan from SE Asia, living at home etc.

She said we were in process, filled the 129f together in the 10 days she visited in Feb engaged on Golden Gate Bridge etc.

She asked him to put a not in to speed up the K-1 haha.

He just asked her to be patient.

Stamped.

The only documentation asked for was return ticket.

Apparently the reason to go to secondary was to update the non-current ESTA address.

Check cleared on the 2/22 as USCIS DALLAS PAYMENT

Apparently Alien Registration Number changed on 2/25.

Awaiting Hard Copy of NOA1

I suppose I should be registering on website now.

Cheers

Hard copy of NOA1 received 3/1, Notice Date 2/21

Timeline estimates say Aug 24-Sept 1

Cheers!

I sent my I-129F on the 15th, delivered 19th, I have a case number and website is showing initial review. Email was from the lockbox and they said they were forwarding to California.

If you did not originate from one of those countries then they are not going to allow you to fly there. The problem is that the airline is responsible for your return, so they will retur you back from whence you came. If they put you on a flight to another country and you are denied there also, then they now have an uncompensated return flight for you. (The compensated flight being the one you purchased with your return ticket.)

Makes sense. Thanks.

I know the airplane side, just not familiar with the denied entry side of the coin.

Is a return to your flights origin required?

Could an immediate RT to Mexico, Canada, Bahamas be purchased creating a transit instead of returning on a immediate transpac return?

Thanks.

Our I-129F application weighed in at 98 pages.

Followed VJ instructions.

Passport is the big book, decree, evidence etc.

Clips and Clamps

Be sure to cascade your clips and clams to they don't make one fat corner.

I'm in line in California Service Center now.

Good luck all.

Thank you, I guess I won't sweat it then. I was worried they would just send it to the one I wrote on the I-129F, and it would be refused and get mailed around and lose me time. I feel a little dumb for not researching that, I thought I had dotted every 'i'. Ah well.

They do not process in Osaka? That's what I filled on our form.

Lets's Race!

We sent our's in as well. FedEx quoting delivery of Monday the 18th. Good Luck!!!

Well.... I finally finished gather all the documents I needed and sent out our I-129F Packet. Considering Monday is a Federal holiday, I wonder if they'll be receiving mail at the Lewisville Lockbox... Hmmm.

And now, we wait. I finally understand what it feels to have to wait... Wish us the best!

It will definitely be a memorable Valentine's day for us.
