I-129f Status Changed
I just checked the BCIS site as I do each day for any updates. The
processing time has changed from 60-180 days to 15-21 days....How can
that be?? We only received our first NOA on Sept 3. Is this normal to
have this change so quickly? The only thing I did was contact our
Congressman who sent me a letter saying they had contacted the proper
authorities regarding our case and to allow 45 days for a response.
Can this be true that our status can change this fast when other
people have been waiting for so long?
I am a US citizen and my husband is British, so are many others...I am
afraid to believe that the status has actually changed. I called the
service center in case what I was reading was a typo...the recording
stated the same 15-21 days! Has anyone had the same experience?
Thanks so much for any feedback.

Re: I-129f Status Changed
Is this for people applying for 1-129 ( fiancé Visa ) ?
I still have 150 to 180 days to process this kind of case on mine but then
we applied back in April.

Re: I-129f Status Changed
That's fantastic ... but .. question is .. which service centre did you
apply through ??? Ours is California ... and our NOA #1 says expect 64 - 112
days to process ... although ... in actuality .. they are still working on
the end of April, 2003 which is more like 150 days .....

Re: I-129f Status Changed
My case status says the same thing - 15-21 days. My 1st NOA is Sept
2, so I am just as surprised as you! I hope it is true that things
have speeded up so much, though to be honest I'm a bit skeptical and
am wondering if it is some system error...

Maybe they're actually changing things so that the online status actually counts down? That would be a novel diea...

Mine changed too, it's for a fiance visa and NOA1 was September 15, 2003.
I'm near tears because on one hand it's great news, but on the other hand, it seems too good to be true! I hope SOMEONE knows what to believe!

I-129f Status Changed info
Not only on line was mine changed; but the phone automated service has
changed to 15-21 days from 150-180 - I am on day 195. Cannot get though to
customer service (that's an oxymoron)
I did talk to Senator Biden D-DE (yes the Senator in person; I worked for
him in DC) I was told, by him, that the House was undergoing investigation
of this mater (meaning the long delays on K-1's) That was on last Friday. He
had his staff get back to me. When they did, I was told that are petition
was on the desk of case handler and would be processed within next week.I
was also told that 5 new employees had just finished training for handling
petitions at NCS. Maybe this is a sign for that...
I do not know what is going on; I am in shock like all of you.
