My package was delivered on 9/6/2007 and I am still waiting for my notice of action. The check has not been cashed yet either!!! This is getting frusturating. I just want them to start the process and I hope they didn't loose my application.

My checks have not been cashed since the USCIS received my AOS, AP and EAD packages on 08/01/07 and I have received nothing back.

I had called the "misinformation" line and they told me that I would have to wait 90 days for an inquiry to be made ... so I made an infopass appt for this morning.

The officer was not going to do anything blaming the backlog until I showed her the USCIS Receipt processing update from 09/14/07 stating that they had processed all received up to 08/30/07 .. she looked in the system and nothing has been recorded under my A# as being received sooo .. she photocopied my UPS confirmation and told me that someone would contact me within the next couple of days.

Wish me luck.

I am on the same boat. However, I applied on 9/1/2007 and they recieved the package on 9/6/2007 according to the USPS. I am waiting same as you for them to cash my check. I also called and they said the wait is 90 days, which is ridiculos. I thought the new rates will make the process go faster and not slow it down!!!

Thanks...the fee is just ridiculous. Just wanted to confirm if its still possible to go CR-1/IR-1 course even though my husband has entered the US with a K-3. By the way I am told that it takes a couple of years to Adjust Status through I-485 filing in the US..Is it true?

I believe it would take more than 9 months only if your documents went missing or behind someones desk until they decide to clean up the desk

But the usual cases take from 6 to 9 months.

Have to pay USCIS $1015 for AOS, EAD and AP.

While you'll get SSN and GC shortly after arriving in the US with the CR.

We did the whole trip and wished we'd stayed with the CR BIGTIME now!!!

How did you calculate that?

AOS $325

AP $170

EAD $180

Sorry ! That's what the new fees will be July 30, 2007 and that's what you will have to pay for your wife to do a AOS.

Yep I just checked the new fee schedule $1010 for AOS. Darn ... In the other hand to become a citizen I believe its not a high price to pay. I just wish that the new fees will make the process faster as they promised!!!

K-3 file is at Local consulate,Packet 3 sent today for K3. I-130 was approved on the same day and sent to NVC. Today i received AOS(Affidavit) bill and Choice of agent form !! Is it possible to get it without paying extra 200$ to USCIS? How do i hold I-130 for CR1 and go forward for K-3 only? Thank you all

My wife has an interview date at the Local Embassy on July 5'th and she gathered all the documents on packet 4 and did her medical. Now I recieve the AOS bill for the I-130 as well ....

I am going to have to call them and ask them to return the case to VSC because she already has her interview scheduled and will be here shortly (GOD willing).

Your time will come guys. I realized that patience is the key in this journey. You can stress the hell out of yourself if you are not careful. That is not healthy for you. Its easy for me to say this, but I went through the same thing and that is the way that I have found (Patience).

Good luck to you all.

Thank you all ....

Those who are waiting your time will come as well.

When other people said this to me I didn’t believe, but it actually came to pass. Just imagine 6 months from now you will be joined with your families and all this will be forgotten. Fast forward yourself 6 months and laugh at this misery

Today i got NOA2 by mail for both I-130 and I-129F. I didn't received any snail mail and my status never changed on my USCIS account since last touch on 05/24/07.

Congrats ...

I got the I-129F approval as well. Thank you God and VSC

GOD be praised I got the I-129F Approval as well. 7:40PM!!!!

I got my I-130 approved today

The I-129F is still pending and maybe will get void since the I-130 was approved first. I am confused there

Congratulations!!!!!

I also got my I130 approval first, but after a few hours I had the second e-mail with I-129F approval.

No need to worry. You will also get your I-129F approval very soon.

Thank You very much!!! Well I got my I-130 approved at 1:15pm today. And its 6:45PM and no approval on the I-129F!!! I really don't want to pursue the I-130 with the NVC. With the help of GOD I hope I recieve the I-129F approval tonight or tomorrow.

I got my I-130 approved today

The I-129F is still pending and maybe will get void since the I-130 was approved first. I am confused there

CONGRATS! A VSC approval! Let's get that I-129F approved too.

Thank you, amen to that! Yours should follow tomorrow or this week!

hello

does any one got an approval today or at least a touch by USCIS

thank you

I got my I-130 approved today

The I-129F is still pending and maybe will get void since the I-130 was approved first. I am confused there

I recieved an approval today for the I-130. The I-129F is still pending . This is kind of bizarre, recieving the I-130 approval before the I-129F. I called the USCIS they said the I-129F will probably get void since the I-130 was approved first. Does anyone think that is the case here? Or maybe the lady at the USCIS was only assuming that!

No approval here! VSC is slow for some reason! All of us have so many touches too! Too much fingerprints on our case.

Is VSC working during long weekend ?

I seriously doubt that they will be working this weekend. They are going to closed Monday for the holiday as well. Tuesday is when we can start hoping for approvals. May God help us all during this journey.

I am confused as to whether I am a March or April filer. We filed the I-130 in March in Vermont and the I-120F in April in Chicago. Our case was transferred to California on May 4th and touched on May 8th. I heard a lot of cases appear to have been transferred to California but I don't know how they decide which ones. I am in Vancouver and my husband is in Seattle.

I believe you will be considered an April filer for the I-129F pettition. I don't know if VSC is overwhelmed with applications at this point of time, but it seems like that, because they tend to be faster than they are being right now.

Congrats ... may the rest of the journey be easier for you

Count us iN! How can we contact VSC? and talk to a Live person? it'll be awesome if you can give us info on that!

I called 1-800-375-5283 as SumonLopa described. However, the agent claimed "he searched for my file on their database". All I wanted to know is if I had an RFE or an Approval and the online system didn't show it. I believe I pressed 1 for English and 2 for RFE, I didn't type my receipt number and was connected to a live person.

I don't know the number of VSC directly.

I am in the same boat.....

Your timeline is almost the same as mine ... lets hope for the best, if we don't get the approval this week. Maybe Tuesday!!!

Touched today !!!

Thats great news ............................. I predict you will get your approval tomorrow. Lets hope they are back on track and give all of us our approvals soon.

What's up with the stupid VSC?

That is what I would like to know myself. I thought they were faster than CSC, but apparently CSC is faster nowadays.

I don't know if there is a topic for March VSC filers. But it would be nice to know if anyone who has their application at VSC got an approval. I have called VSC today and spoke with a live person, only to find out that my case is still pending. His tone was very good, and he tried his best to give me explanations on why cases might take a long time to be processed. I didn't want to hear all that, but I was polite to listen because he was polite on the phone as well. Anyhow, if you got an approval please post it since we are all in the same boat. I think the last person who got an approval from VSC (4/30/2007) was "damian" if I am not wrong.

Ours too!!!! Both I-129F and I-130 were touched today!!!! I almost fainted when I saw the change in "date updated" *sigh*.

Most likely you will get your approval tomorrow!!!

Let's hope VSC decides to give us our approvals as well.

129f Approved

Receipt Number: MSC

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On May 16, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

Congrats to you ... Its always good to hear of approvals. I wish you have an easier journey after this step.

Congrats to you ..... it must feel awesome to get that Visa and join each other ... again Congratulations

Vikasp yep your timeline seems to be the same in the last few touches. I bet we are in the same hands (meaning the same person is working on our files). I hope he/she is fast at his/her job!!
