Subsequent notices will come from the Service Center to which the application or petition was sent for processing. To get e-mail notices about the status of the processing you will have to sign up as Rene suggested.

Good to know... thanks for the clarification!

Sorry, I assumed you had applied at the London embassy too....

I'm sure he applied at the London embassy too. The processing was relatively slow as they went through petitions filed at the end of April and most of May, then in one day they had processed petitions filed between the 3rd of June through to the 15th of June. I guess not many petitions were filed in that period so they were able to fly through them.

Mine was filed on July 6th, waiting for a letter in the post every day now since I saw that they were processing petitions filed on July 6th a few weeks ago now... hoping there isn't anything tricky about our case which makes it take longer than normal

Argh!

It's been 171 days since they received our I-130. Is that still a "normal" period of time? I know the average on the USCIS website is 5 months for the California Service Center, so we're well past that.

Is anybody else going through the same thing right now? Is there still a chance that this whole thing will be done in 8-10 months (I don't really have a solid understanding of how long the rest of it takes, once this is processed)?

My husband just left on Monday... he was here for ten days to be here with me for Christmas and New Years. It's the first time I've gotten to be in his physical presence since our honeymoon in early June. This whole immigration process is so brutal.

The 5 month average time posted on the USCIS web site has not changed for quite a long time, and coincidently it just happens to match what I understand is the target timeframe.

In any case, 171 days is 5.6 months so you are hardly "well past" the posted number.

Indeed,

We filed our I-129F on August 17th, it was Approved 06/01/2012 (Yesterday).

As for the sadness and problems of being far away from the one you love, I'm having particular problems, as my Fiance and I both suffer from depression (mine brought about by an incident last May, her's on going)

It's really really difficult to keep going, but we know that the end is going to be worth it and we'll be happy together.

Congratulations on that part being over... do you feel more optimistic about the whole process now that the long waiting period is done?

I do yes, it's going to be slightly stressful getting to London though. As we'll be moving to Weymouth in the coming month or so, and it takes 5 hours by coach..

But, at least I have relatives in London to stay with.

It's been almost like a dream, this visa processing time, now the dream has ended and reality has kicked in.

Anyone, apologies for hijacking the thread :P

Feels less like a dream and more like purgatory to me

I made this thread specifically so people could come complain/ask for support/etc without necessarily having a particular question about paperwork or whatever, so on the contrary, you're not hijacking anything!

I'd be interested to know how the next steps go... keep us updated!
