Thank you very much! I will let my fiancé know about it. I hope it will work!

Oh yeah, we received NOA1 one week after submitting the file, back in Abril.

Thanks!

My fiancé submitted the petition on April 19th 2006, but unfortunately the check bounced due to his confusion of bank accounts. When he realize it, he sent another check right away and called USCIS, whose operator told him to wait until they get in touch with him. One month later he received back the second check uncashed and after that a letter from USCIS which asked him to provide the payment, what he did right away. The money was withdraw from his acount in May. In July he was informed that USCIS received the payment and that time restarted to count, postponed from April 19th to July 7th.

Apart from that there was the LIFE act that required the petitioners to provide addicional information. My fiancé did not receive the IMBRA RFE yet. Many people who petitioned even after July 7th are already approved, because their i-129F were updated according to the new law.

IT IS SO ANNOYING! We are certain that we provided all the required documents, with satisfatory proof of our relationship, and also that we attended all the requisites of the immigration law. But we have no idea why it is taking so long, now that the check problem is solved since July 7th!

Is anyone in the same situation? Or have any idea of what we should do?
