Merhaba Turkce biliyon mi acaba?

Haha random,

Anyways ur right but minus that RFE, no RFE for us

Oh shoot! Haha! I meant NOA2s! No RFEs please! LOL!

I don't really know Turkish. But I went there for vacation a few years back and learned a few words.

I got my alien number 2 months ago along with all the other december; november filers but nothing happened

Merhaba!

I think most of the filers got that alien number notice. But you're right, after that, there's no movement whatsoever with the petition.

However, November-December filers are almost halfway through the 5 to 6-month mark! Hoping that it won't take long before we receive our RFE's!

I assume after that change of address thing, you might get an approval.. who knows?

That's what we're hoping for. Because when my fiance called USCIS earlier today, the tier 1 person seemed surprised that we did not receive an approval since he saw that our status is already in Post Decision Activity. But then again, they don't really know much about what's going on, do they?

My fiance will send the form first thing tomorrow. Hopefully the CSC will receive it within the week.

For now, all we can do is wait and pray.

Hi!

Same scenario here. November 30, 2012 filer but NOA1 is dated December 3, 2012. My fiance (petitioner) moved and he updated his address change online last January 26, 2013. He received a mail from USCIS on January 29, 2013 confirming that they have changed his address on record. But today, he received another letter from CSC that he has to submit form AR 11 to complete the process of address change.

We have no idea if this is a good thing or not. We're hoping that this would be an opportunity for our case to be "touched" again. Our online status is currently on Post Decision Activity.

I will update you how it goes so you can gauge whether you should change your address or not.

Correction: Form AR 11 not A 11

Finally found out what this Post Decision Activity is about. It's NOT an approval.

It's about my fiance's recent change of address. He filed for it online and now they want him to mail a completed form A 11. We checked the USCIS website and read there that a US citizen is not required by law to file a form A 11. But when he called them, he was told that since he had a pending petition (our I129F), he would have to mail the form to inform the USCIS of his address change.

It's just weird because he already received a hard copy informing him that his address was changed on record. The USCIS sent him the actual mail to his new address last January 19, 2013. But now, they sent the latest notice dated February 14, 2013 to his previous address. The reason he was able to receive it is because he made a request from the postal service to deliver all of his mail from the old address to the new one. Oh well, we'll just send the form tomorrow to get it over with. Who knows? Our case might get "touched" again.

Thanks for all the well-wishes!

Are the updates your fiance made was "maybe" a help too? Cause he did update the spelling of your name right, change of address, he just got his citizenship just nov last year I think, just I think your case was always "touched" and had given "attention" that is why you have a latest update and that's the post decision activity thing. Cause usually when it is highlighted it is totally approved.

Pop goes on my mind:

- Approved

- He, your fiance will have an interview in USA regarding of your case

- Glitch

Hoping it's the first one! So another case is next and can move on.. =) God Bless

I so agree with you! Hoping it's the first one!

That's what we're also thinking. That having all those updates (name correction, address change) meant that our file was touched more often. If that's the case, then maybe all the filers need to move and have their addresses changed so we can all get our NOA2s ASAP! LOL!

I found out just now that I mixed up our timeline dates. Sorry. I changed my timeline. My fiance told me that he filed in November.

I129F filed - November 30, 2012

Received - December 3, 2012

NOA1 - December 4, 2012

in that case that gives people false hope or even make them believe they are approved

I'm hoping that it truly is an approval and that you'd receive your NOA2 soon! It's sucks to see an "approved" petition only for them to say that it's a mistake. I hope you'll get this sorted out soon! Best of luck!

If you called and talked to customer service and they didn't tell you it was approved, then I'm inclined to think it's something else. It would show in their system as an approval. I'm wondering if since your fiance filed so close to getting his citizenship that it might be something to do with that. Hopefully its just a simple thing as needing additional paperwork from you , really interested to know when you get your mail! Best of luck and hope its an easy fix or an odd approval !

When my fiance called, the personnel on the line just told him what was exactly on our case status online and that we should just wait as instructed. So wait is what we're going to do. I just wish that they would've been more specific in their notice so as not to leave us hanging on what it could be. But then again, there's nothing we can do about it...

It could also be due to that. Ugh. It could also be a million other things. LOL.

I'll update all of you once we find out what this is about. who knows, it might help other VJ members.

Best of luck and hope its an easy fix or an odd approval ! --- Thanks so much!

My fiance filed same date as yours December 3 (USA) but not same date of noa1 because our is Dec11 noa1.. Sounds like you are approved! well I am hoping to get mine too! GodBless Sis!

I hope we'd all get approved ASAP! It's hard to be away from your loved one! I'm really hoping that it's an approval. Thanks!

Check this out I filed for an expedite on feb 7 om feb 8 i got a letter wanting the paper work to process my expedite at the end of the letter it had this printed.....

IMPORTANT:

Your response must be received at the Vermont Service Center within 20 calendar days from the date of this notice. Failure to

respond withln the allotted time will result in the denial of your expedite request. If your expedite request is denied, you have the

option to request another expedite through the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) by calling 800-375-5283. You must

allow 60-days before requesting another expedite.

Since the date we received your request, we have approved your case and an approval notice was sent on (insert date notice sent) to

the address we have on file. If you do not receive the notice within 30 days, and you want an official duplicate for your records, you will need to file a Form I-824 Application for Action on an Approved Application or petition. You can download this form by visiting

our website at www.uscis.gov.

USCIS has not one clue about the approval so i scheduled an infopass that was the biggest waste of time I talked to a clerk not an agent all the agents were busy processing deferred action cases go figure.

Hi Andy and Marissa! Unfortunately, I have no idea on expediting a petition. However, maybe the best thing to do is to submit the requirements for the expedite request. Since the USCIS does not have a clue about the approval, the last paragraph could be a mistake. I read somewhere here in VJ that USCIS uses templates for the letters. Maybe they punched in the wrong template code?

Hi again! at first i was worried because we haven't receive any hard copy but we still checked our status even without that. i think most dec and jan filer received that change of A#. hopefully one of this days i can be lucky as you to have that fast noa2.(fingers crossed)

Hi cel-ann! A lot of people did get that change of A#. And even if you do not have the hard copy of your NOA1, if your case status is updated online, I guess there wouldn't be a problem.

And we don't have our NOA2 yet! How i wish we did! LOL. It was just a weird post decision notice which we still don't have any idea what it really means. Crossing our fingers that it's an approval. But we'll never know until we receive the letter. It could be a glitch.

wow you're so lucky... did you also received a change of A# relating to i129f?when? we're january filer hopefully we'll be lucky also lol. but until now we didn't receive any hard copy of noa1. goodluck guys.

Hi! Yes, we did receive the change of alien number. I'm not sure if it was late Dec or early Jan. As for our NOA1 hard copy, it was around second or third week of Dec. I read here at VJ that some applicants didn't receive their hard copies but their petition was approved. So maybe there's no reason to worry? Good luck to you as well! Let's all hope that we'll get our NOA2s soon!

When my I-129F petition went into "Post Decision" status it was just normal - and yes, it was approved. I believe that if there is or had been a problem it would have stated so. So, I wouldn't worry for not. Just wait on the mail.

Best of luck!

Yes, I keep on telling myself not to worry since that won't do me any good. The only thing we can do now is to wait for the mail. Thank you!

I don't know if these information would help...

Dec2012. Upon filing, my fiancé (petitioner) noted in the initial acceptance notice he received that my name was misspelled so he called the USCIS. He was informed that it was just a typo on the notice but they had the right spelling on the petition.

Dec2012 - Jan2013. After that, we also received the "alien registration number" notice either late Dec or early Jan. Then, my fiance moved and updated his change of address online. Since he signed up for the email and SMS update, he got the notice that his application for change of address was successful. That was also reflected in our case status in the uscis.gov website. He also received the actual mail from USCIS regarding the address change.

On Feb14, he got an email or text message from USCIS informing him that there is an update on our status. That's when we saw this Post Decision Activity notice. We went from Acceptance to Initial Review, skipped Decision and went straight to Post Decision Activity.

I hope that someone here has a first-hand experience that is similar to ours. But any input would be great. It's good to talk to someone here cause everybody understands what we're all going through to be with our loved ones. Again, thanks for all the help!

It might be returned to you for wrong payment, denial for not enough evidence sent

What did you send with your packet?

I hope it is an approval but usually it just says approved

I doubt that it's about a wrong payment. As for the evidence, we followed the guide here at VJ. We had letters, pictures, boarding passes, hotel bookings, etc.

We're reaaally hoping it's an approval. Aren't we all? But we're also taking into account that it only took 2 1/2 months from our NOA1 to the receipt of this notice. At the rate CSC is going, it's highly unlikely that they'd approve our petition this early. But if they did, I sure won't be the one to complain. LOL.

It could be a glitch in the system. Who knows? That's why I'm hoping that someone here has encountered the same notice an could shed some light into this.

We just hope that the letter would reach us soon so we can stop all the speculating and worrying!

It does not sound like an approval, did you have anything in your situation that would raise a flag? I've never seen a post decision like this as well.

I don't think there are red flags as our relationship is legitimate. We're childhood friends and he just migrated to the US with his family in 2007. He filed for his citizenship on Nov2012 and as soon as he had his certificate, he submitted our I129f.

You're right. This does not look like the typical approval notice. Those that I have seen clearly states "approved" on their notices. On the other hand, this does't also look like the typical denial. So which one is it? RFE? If so, it shouldn't be under post decision activity, right? If this is a post decision activity, it's only either approved or denied, isn't it? We're really confused. :s

Why does USCIS have to torture us all?! LOL! Can't they just inform us upfront and save us the agony? : P

Congratulations!

Hi! Has anyone here received the same notice?

Post Decision Activity

On February 14, 2013, your notice I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) was processed and mailed to the address on record. If you have not received it within 30 days of February 14, 2013, contact customer service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move while your case is pending, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

My fiance and I already checked online and we haven' t exactly found anything that is exactly like this. He also called the customer service and he was told that our case is in fact in the post decision activity and we should just wait for the mail. But of course, we are so excited and anxious about what this is all about and we want to find out ASAP. I'm sure you guys would understand as we are all in the same boat.

For approved petitions, we noticed that it almost always say "approved" in the notice. We're hoping that this is an approval but we don't want to end up getting disappoined in the end. Our petition was only filed on Dec 3, 2012 and our NOA1 was dated Dec 7, 2012.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
