Lots of Patience

My friend's mother filed I-130 in June 2008, in this category ( Permanent resident filling for an unmarried son or daughter over 21) just wanted to know, in which visa category he falls and how long USCIS will take to process his petitions.

you are panicing too early give it couple of more months ,normally you dont get lots of updates in petition for most of straight cases it is only two step procedure filing petition and recieving approval which takes from 3-5 months .

no bro, i am not panicing at all, i know how long it will go or how much time it will take, just curious about touch thing, all is fine

It’s been 2 month and 4 days since I have submitted my petition and last touch was on 4th august since then no update. Just wanted to ask is it happening with anyone else. Regards

last week my friends has a interview and he doesn't receive any packets only then letter which he received from NVC, he just shown that letter to the doctor along with passport and 2 pictures, and after 1 day he received his medical reports, and remember don't open the medical reports, it will be sealed, dont open it otherwise interviewer will not accept it. see the instruction on your counslate website,

When marriage was dissolved? Get a new copy of divorce papers from union counsel, but the best way is to visit your local union counsel and discuss this issue with them I am sure they will give you solid solution, talk with them openly why you need it.

what is a trick to be approved that fast ??

Pray!!!!!!

thank you brother, i have created my account, is it possible that they are working on it, but case is not updated on their site.

i will update timeline, can you please tell me how to check when they touch, can you please guide me really grateful.

Today I checked my I-130 status it seems like a turtle. Last time it was updated on 4 august 2010, I hope it will not take more than the processing times, which is 5 months for IR1. :-(

Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

It's Happening with my I-129, i forwarded in August and yet no reply but i received NOA1 against I-130 in August, .and when called them, they said couln't find it in systems, and asked to wait for a week & if you dont get it in this week then call back clueless where it goes.

your profile references 'DCF' - but ..

what did you do ? Where did you file the I-130? to the lockbox address in Chicago? or to somewhere in Islamabad?

DCF stand for ? i filed I-130 in Chicago Lockbox address,

Thank you so much everyone whole heartily appreciate. Now I think it’s a time to forget about 129F and concentrate on 130. Well it’s almost 2 months since I have filled 130 for my spouse and I think it would take around 2 or 3 months more for NOA 2 I guess, or you never know. Well Good Luck to Me as I miss my wife so much, wish to be over soon,

Hi everybody.

It’s Kind a stupid question I am sure which I am going to ask. Hope you all bear it.

I have read on many posts that most likely I-130 & i-129F approved on a same day, And they will cancel 129F, so if they approve them on a same day and going to cancel 129 later, then why submitting 129-F even though processing time of Cr1-IR1 & k3 is almost equal.

I'm sure you know that the K-3 is no longer used right?!?!?

It can take up to 60 days to receive an NOA1

Also, look for a 'touch' on your I-130 around the time of your NOA1 for the I-129F. That means they've matched up the 2 petitions and will approve them on the same day

Good luck

Thanks for your reply, we have forwarded both, so which ever will be processed first will go for that one, i know if 130 will be approved first then k3 will be no longer, i hope i am right

Hi, We have submitted i-130 and received NOA 1 right after 18 days. Then forwarded 129F for K3 visa on 10th august 201, but still no NOA received any idea how long it takes, thanks for help!!!!!
