Hey congrats to all of you for NOA2s and Packet 3s and interviews!

Just want to let you know that I am a little behind, today the CSC finally put the repsonse to the RFE in their system

My SO sent it more than 2 weeks ago.

arnt

You are soon to have an answer. I went for almost three weeks before an answer. I called every day though, and finally got approved. We were approved on the 5th. But still no update on USCIS or an email. So, my advise is to pester them until you get an answer. PS, I sent my RFE on the 16th. They noted as receiving it on the 30th, even though my return receipt said they got it on the 17th. Good luck Arnt. Jen

Um, hi everyone.....Yeah, I finally got approved!!!!!!. Yeah!!!!!!!!!! Hallefuc*kinlujay!!!!! It's about time!!! Hurray. It's late, I will tell all the details tomorrow, it's kinda funny!!!

Okay, so touched again this morning, but still no approval. What is going on here. This makes it 4 touches. I'm starting to feel a little violated, without a climax. I think I'm getting the raw end of the deal here!!! OH, did I just say that?

Calm the heck down Gemini! lol Here's a pre-emptive CONGRATS

I just called USCIS, I'm starting to be a regular. Got Officer Kacho, had her before. She said my application is with an officer. Same answer. But she did say she would make a note for the officer that an inquiry was made.

Getting closer!!!!

It's getting hard to stay calm. My RFE has been there for almost three weeks now. This is getting ridiculous.

Well lets hope good news is on its way! Here's a pre-emptive congrats

Well, thank you. I can take a pre-emptive one!!!!! I'll be hollerin when I get the real one!!!

I'll premptively cover my ears from the hollering. hehe, that sounds kinda mean, I mean it to prevent my internet hearing... hehe

Yes, do that. OHHHH if only we could have sound!!!! I've waited so long for this, I think I will probably pee my pants when I get it.

Oh my! I was happy, but not THAT happy. Now when we get that visa, all bets are off on dry pants.

I won't laugh if ya do!!!

Well, touched again....on Sunday????? What gives? I called USCIS today for my daily prying session, the officer was nice, but was obviously reading from his manual. When I asked him why it was updated on a Sunday, he said that the system runs 24 hours. Okay, thanks for not answering my question. When he said to give it thirty days, I finally said, I know you have your standard answers that your supposed to say, but you and I both know it shouldn't take that long. He chuckled and said yes. He said "you should be getting your approval, I mean answer shortly". HMMMMM. I asked who the officer was that was working on my case, and he said that he knew, but couldn't tell me. I'm really hoping our approval is just going to show up in the mail, like maybe tomorrow????!!!! Yeah, that would be good.

I had a similar situation and was approved the next day. It's sounding really good!

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope so!!!! This makes 3 touches...one on the 29th, 30th, and the 3rd.

It sounds like he slipped up like the woman did me when I called to inquire, so I'm gonna say CONGRATULATIONS on your approval!

I would love to say thank you, but I really need to know we are approved before I can. Hopefully it will be soon!!!!!

Congrats to Dan&Tiffany!

And to those at NVC!

Jen: Where's your NOA2?

Pfffffff..I dunno??? Nothing yet.

I sure hope so! Apparently our touch yesterday WAS the approval!!! Got the email today - dated 5/30! I'm still floating!

YAY! That's fantastic news! Congrats!!

We, like Milenka, just also got TWO hard copies of our NOA2 today in separate letters.

Oh, thats great to hear your approvals, Neal and Cari. So happy for you. Jen

I have a question for the forum. I am getting conflicting information from what my lawyer is telling me versus what the NVC representative is telling me. I received an email from CSC saying that my I-129F was sent to the NVC on the 23rd of May. From what I read on the FAQ and K3 guide in VJ, once the NVC receives the petition it is assigned a case number and then forwarded directly to the embassy. My lawyer is telling me that is not true. She said once the NVC assigns a case number, it is sent back to us with a packet that we have to complete (AOS) and send back to the NVC and then they forward to the embassy.

My situation has another twist. I have also filed for the I-130 and the NVC sent us the bar coded packet with the DS-230 and I-864 on 5/22 (we still havent received it).

My primary goal is to bring my wife here as quickly as possible since she is 5 months pregnant.

In my opinion, the K3 will be received in Venezuela before the I-130, but my lawyer thinks otherwise. If the information in the FAQ is correct that the NVC directly forward to the emabssy, the I-129 petition can be there as early as next week. Since we still havent received the I-130 packet yet, I am predicting it can take up to anotjer 4-6 weeks before the I-130 gets to Venezuela.

Can somebody help clarify? What would you guys do if you were in my situation?

Um, well, I didn't think there was really much difference in the way the process went for K1 or K3, but I could be wrong. Don't quote me, but my guess would be that your lawyer is wrong. I think your K3 would go to NVC and then to the consulate, just the same. Otherwise, why would there be a timeframe on K3s at the local embassy? (If you go to the timelines, it has both the K1, and the K3 for each country). That doesn't make sense what your lawyer is telling you. I've found out a bunch of things my lawyer told me that was not only wrong, but what he guided us to do held us back. But hey, I'm new to this too. But I would never trust what anybody tells you.....research, research, research, and put all the info together to figure it out...take some, leave some, you know? In my eyes, taking responsibility for your life is learning what your in...not just believing what somebody tells you.

I sure hope so! Apparently our touch yesterday WAS the approval!!! Got the email today - dated 5/30! I'm still floating!

Oh yayeeee, congratulations. So happy for you both!!! Good for you.

Touched again this morning. Do I smell a NOA2? Um, I think I do!!!

Thanks hmm, Sarah, Neal and Cari, and Dan and Tiff. Like I said, I will let you know what happens with these responses. On a brighter note, I got my birthday package from Barney today...the best presents ever, so thoughtful. Get this, one of them was a star that Barney had named for me, "Princess Jenifer". I teared up on that one. I got lovely cards and other great gifts...made my day!!!

Thanks Miss Cari!!!

Ooh another birthday girl! Happy Birthday!!

Hey all, just wanted to say I called USCIS about not recieving my NOA2 in the mail (day 28 after approval) and the first lady told me I shouldnt have a letter from NVC since K1's arent' sent there and then was transfered to someone else. That lady said she'd send a request to CSC and I'd hear something in 30 days.

Sounds like lady number one had her head up her butt!!!

Awww too sweet. Happy late Birthday to you!

Thanks Tiff. Yeah, so maybe we will both be approved tomorrow, maybe even late tonight, but tomorrow is probably the more likely of the two. All extremeties crossed!!! Good luck.

Oh god oh oh oh...TOUCH!!! CSC received our RFE on the 30th and has resumed processing. Nevermind you got it on the 17, you wankas!!! AHHHHH...now get us the #### out of CSC. YEAH!!!

Hi guys. Well, I called USCIS AGAIN, and still nothing. They have had our RFE now for two weeks, and still don't even have record of it. So, I hopped my little butt in gear and emailed one of my local representatives and Senator Boxer as well. Hopefully will hear back from them and maybe get some help. Will let you all know what happens. Jen

Silly me, it's a federal holiday. Was really hoping USCIS would be open today, but should've known of course they wouldn't. None the less, hope everyone is having a good holiday!!!!

Have you been able to communicate with a live person over at NVC ?

No, that's the information from the automated hotline

From what I have read in previous posts, you definitely want to talk to someone live, as they have more accurate information than the automated system. I would try them tomorrow, as they are probably closed today. Good luck!!!

It's probably wishful thinking that USCIS is open today, huh?
