We sent off our I-130 start of dec and received notification it was taken on december 5th.

Payment has been taken and it has been sent onto california.

The wait begins!

Also just got back from a 2 week visit, which was amazing, after not seeing hubby for 6 months it sure was nice <3

The folks in this thread are living in the UK and have petitioned their spouses under a different method than you're using (which is why they're in a separate thread).


However, as fair warning to all; timeline threads have never worked out well in the past and we'd much rather you were contributing in the forum with everyone else. Note that visa questions will be moved out of this thread when spotted; please use this one to compare notes about when you filed petitions and the landmark dates along your case.

oh, didnt know they were solely UK based

Does anyone every make US based filing threads? Id love to connect with some others who filed at similar time using US based method

The "DCF" in the thread title is a dead giveaway!

Hello y'all again. still haven't heard anything back but getting all my documents ready - have sent off police request form, got birth certs, etc ready. I have a question about immunization records in prep for the medical - I contacted my dr's office and they have no official record of my immunizations!! they have a form that says I have had all my shots, but no dates or who gave them to me, etc and my dr said he can't sign anything to prove I've had my shots, as he cannot prove it. does anyone have any advice?

ian-mstm

You have 2 choices: 1) get titres done for any shots that are required; or 2) just get the shots.

Edit - there's a 3rd choice... go to another doctor.

What are Titres?

BrittanyB

Titres are blood tests which show what a person has an immunity for...so if you were vaccinated for mumps, you'd have an immunity for mumps. I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

For future reference: Google is your friend.

I did have a bit of result, the nurse at my practice contacted me back to recommmend contacting my school who had details of the healthcare practice that would come to our school and give some jobs, so partial sucess there. Yay.

Thanks for the info....

Ahh, they still say they are looking at petitions files 1 October (as of 20 January)....this is soooo slow, what are they doing over there( In the end it might turn out to be quicker to file in USA?

BrittanyB

Yeah I know I saw...I guess in my head I allowed them to be a week or so behind because of christmas/new year, but it DOES seem like they are moving awfully slow compared to what other people have said.

katq

I know...they could have just moved it by 1 week to show some minimal progress at least, but no...it looks like time has stopped completely for them! Ohh, at least I am going to visit my husband in 4 weeks and that keeps me happy for now

I just received notification that my application has been received! After all the mess over not meeting the residency requirements I'm glad that we were able to get it all cleared up so quickly. I was expecting the application to be returned again for some other reason but at least now I know they're processing it. I know there is still a long wait ahead but at least now we're in the race xx
