waitingtime

Best early B-day gift so far!

I was awaken at 6:45 this morning, as usual, the radio was blasting news and traffic reports. I grabbed my Blackberry and start checking emails received overnight and now being delivered. Nothing new, except a message about a failed hard drive on a server. Oh great, I thought, another tough day ahead. Nothing else, as usual. I put back the Blackberry and promised myself, a few more minutes. Then came 7AM, my Blackberry vibrated 4 times, two new emails, I assumed. I grabbed it, entered my password and, holy, there was one new email and one new text message! The only times I have seen this is when my options are opened, modified or executed, so I know this is something about my I-129.

I decided to open the text message first, it only said my case is updated. F***, I said, this is bad because should it say it has been approved?

Then I opened the email, thinking about the worst, searching for that "RFE" wording. Nothing. I opened my sleepy eyes, and found it, there it is, 5 lines down, "Current Status: Approval notice sent."

I jumped out of bed and call her with the great news. The rest is now history...

Best early B-day gift so far!

cooooooooool very big congratulation .good gift .

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why are some applications expedited and some not?

the $1 million question ?

Octoberians people ......... we stack. no NOA2.

I'm working on NOA1 for 10/15/09 .it's hard but worth it.

guys believe me if every 3 or 4 people share their NOA1 day ,like every 1 take spesifice series to check .it's would be wonderful and we will have correct cases that are waiting .

good luck for everyone.

You can check your case status by entering your case number that is listed on your NOA1, and you can sign up for updates on your case. Many people here received there NOA2 via email by signing up for updates.

thank you so much ,yes I signed ,but how did he know only 8 left ?

Karen went ABOVE AND BEYOND and took the time to enter in every EAC number, with our 9/25 date ( showing as 9/25 for some reason in the EAC #).. she started at 01.. and went all the way up until the date changed to 9/26.. This is how she found out there were almost 3000 petitions, of some sort or another, that were entered into the system at VSC on 9/24.

Checking each one of these, she was able to determine that out of all of those.. there were 55 that were for K1 visas.. so , she's been watching and keeping us updated on these.

Keep in mind, these stats are only for people with an NOA1 date of 9/24..

So the 8 she is talking about are NOA1 dates of 9/24..

Really have to give her a lot of credit for having the patience to do that. I tried.. and gave up after about an hour!

thank you Jenn

I'm excited now to check for our date .

I will spend hours to determine extra info .

please would you tell more steps on how to check ? like with EAC what numbers should I start and how to check for specific day ?

I'd appreciate your help.

thanks

Hello

just question

why in Igor's list still showing the date as 04/23/09 ?

Still waiting for NOA2 from VSC K-1 I-129F within the VSC processing time (2009-04-23):

You're looking at the older version of Igor's List, the one hosted at Berkeley. It pulls (pulled) the processing times from a page on the USCIS website that no longer works (it was removed when they launched the new website in late September).

oooooooh I see , thank you

would you please give me the link?

thank you.

Hi

I need help pleeeeeeeeease

my question is when should I ask USCIS to chenge the embassy ? before NOA2 or after during NVC ?

anyone has same situation ? I'm so confused and I don't know what to do . to not delay the papers with this change .

thank you

100000000000 congratulations

at least we know that VSC working good .

guys there is a FEB approve in VSC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

am I looking right ?????

they said if we need to translate from Arabic to English we need authorization from police office ,they make it so difficuilt .

I never heard about that .

Alternatively, you could have it translated in the country of origin and mailed to you. There's more than one way to get a document translated. Why not follow the translation procedure you would use if in the home country?

no they said it has to be certified in denmark .

they said if we need to translate from Arabic to English we need authorization from police office ,they make it so difficuilt .

I never heard about that .

Why difficult? Your fiance is intending to emigrate to the US, therefore the document translation into English is not an unreasonable request.....nor is a police clearance as that is part of due dilligence to make sure that the beneficiary has no prior criminal record.

no I mean the translation office make it difficuilt ,English is the first language in the world ,why they need authorization to do it in English ,he tried almost all offices in copenhajen and they all said same .

they said if we need to translate from Arabic to English we need authorization from police office ,they make it so difficuilt .

Hi

VJ people neeeeeeed your help.

My fiancé in Denmark, we are not Danish, so the birth certificate it's not Danish, it’s not English.

So he needs to translate it to English with certified translator to take it to the embassy. The translator told him that they only allowed translating to Danish. (That’s weird)

My question is: will the embassy will accept it if it’s in Danish and not in English, since this is the country language?

thanks for your help.

Have the birth certificate translated to English from the original language. What is the original language?

Arabic
