Now to join cj-v and others at nvc. I'm not even ready, I better get my act together lol Let the journey continue.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out may be when to expect something based on your case and timeline... of course it's not the way it always works, but doesn't hurt to try!

Thanks!

I appreciate everyone's kind words and wishes!

Of course, wishing everyone best of luck too!

My Vj brothers thank you for your support i'm short of words right now i'm shaking and i can't even think or write but i'm ultra happy!!! mega happy!! i'm in tears right now .

BTW: Thanks! I didn't even read your full message because I wanted to congratulate first! LOL

Is anyody from March still waiting or it's just me?

My timeline speaks my story. No updates since the last touches mentioned. Sick and tired of waiting...

Yep, the July 07 fee increase is at work now, A MAJOR improvement in processing times! Much different than when our I-129F for K-1 went through VSC Aug 2006 (1 month NOA1 -- NOA2).

Yep typical government agencies throw more money at them and you get improvements! NOT!!!

Just hang in there.

Wow this sucks! I do not like VSC! I hope they all know what is feels like to live over a year and counting without your SO. I am furious at these people!

Very frustrated and disappointed.

Yup...Feb 11 is the day. However, I was seriously hoping to land a January date. I guess Mumbai embassy is really busy.

Good deal!

Hey Everyone,

I have some great news. My wife's petitions have been approved!!! Both the I-130 and I-129F. The NOA2's are from yesterday. I still can't believe it!!!

What an emotional swing!!! My wife and I had our biggest fight yesterday. I called the VSC yesterday too and they said it could take 30 to 60 more days before your hear anything. I couldn't have had a more worse feeling going to bed last night. I woke up this morning, checked my e-mail and there they were!! They approved the petitions the same day an officer there told me to wait 1-2 more months. What a turn of events!!

I know there's still a journey left ahead, but this is such a weight off our shoulders. I want to thank everyone who's helps me on this journey so far, particularly CJ Vasani, Khaleda, K2USA, Yoda1165, Narina (notimeforhaterz), CJGator, and many more whom I've forgotten to name.

I wish everyone the best of luck for quicker approvals. Feel free to message me any time for any questions.

Regards,

Sanket

Congrats man!

Any idea on how long it takes to get approval after they resume processing?

I think you will see an NOA2 very soon desi! Maybe next week.. (nothing valid to base this on btw) lol

for real though, it seems like rfe's hear something within very short period.

good luck, maybe you will be the next to leave our "We love VSC" group

Lisa

I hope so! Yea, I might be one of the people to leave the "We love VSC Group"! LOL

As of now it seems I am the only one who is waiting for NOA2 in the March/April/May filer category. My case is still stuck in VSC.

Anyone out there who is still waiting for any movement

I am still waiting for a precious present: A darn approval.

desiman - did you submit the RFE requested?

i see your approval coming very soon...hopefully before end of next week.

Yeah, I did. It's on my signature & timeline. I sent it on 12/1, case resumed on 12/5. Had two touches after that, but still pending. I don't think I have much patience left...

Thanks!

Desi, u interrupted my conversation with svetlana. as a punishment, u shall get approved this week. punished to get the NOA2 ticket out of waiters party.

I couldn't receive a better punishment than that at this time! I'll gladly accept it!

Thanks antiwaiting!

DesiMan, you should be approved this week. You received a touch today so look forward to tomorrow and you will be all smiles

I hope so too! And you all will know when it happens!

It's the crazy journey. I feel I am close to being done, yet it still seems a dream!

Some activity reported, but not approval yet.

You will know either by getting an email from CRIS in a few days and/or you will see a touch in your files in a few days. If none of those happen then give them a call and use the trick to get to vsc and they will tell you if they received your rfe and if case is back on schedule. You must give it a few days after it has been delivered at their center, and then an approval will follow shortly or can take up to another 60 days. I know, its hard going. Good luck.

RFE delivered yesterday. Is there a way of knowing if they tok the case out of "suspense" and resumed working on it? Does it show touch or email? Just curious. Or simply assume that now that they have it, it is resumed?

Thanks!

Thanks for your quick reply. I anticipated a few days before they acknowledge the receipt, but wanted to know out of curiosity.

I did receive an email today that the case resumed yesterday.

certainly doesn't hurt to continue the K3 process to lock in a good early interview date, especially if you have extra copies of the documents they require. this also allows your spouses to get the medical out of the way in advance and there is little left to do for CR1, except pay the stupid courier fee.

Stay tuned...I'll be attempting this very soon. I'll let you know how it works out.

Good deal. Keep us informed and if possible, please bookmark this thread so that we don't have to hunt for your post! LOL

I want to do the same - pursue CR1 instead of K3. I am thinking that we may postpone sending Packet 3 by mail by a week to delay the interview by few days. Hopefully, CR1 process will be done by then and embassy can convert K3 to CR1.

I, too, want to go to the I-130 route. As I mentioned in another thread, the I-129F is just a sidekick. I'd appreciate any help on that!

desiman - what happened with your RFE? did you get it in the mail yet?

I received on Saturday and I sent it in today. It was regarding the G-325A form for both of us.

desiman - can you please share what it was about on your 325a?

CJ-V, i can say the same for u your patience for all this time has made me keep my cool...anyway...i hope things are easier from here.

Sure. I guess I read the instructions wrong and didn't fill in some of the things (the redundant info) and so they asked that I fill that in and resubmit.
