K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview in 6.5 hours!!!
I went for my fiances interview. Best decision made and well worth the added expense. Just hang by her side, be at every window with her, hold her hand and just let her know you love her. This shows to everyone. I don't think our questioning lasted 10 minutes total at all windows combined. The final interview with the CO was less than 2 minutes. I fully believe that was because I was there.

Good luck and let us know how you do!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInitial review !!!

Does the Petitioner have an opportunity to call USCIS line? I would do this first

 

Also..you've been waiting for 6 month now..did you at least receive NOA1?

Thank you for your heartwarming message. we need all the prayers and positive insights from everyone and hope we can get thru this. We have been in this long distance relationship for 8 years and 5 months (to be exact) now that is why the wait is excruciating already. We were hoping to be together after 5 mos of filing the K1 but we sure didnt count on it to be this long!!!! i mean come on.....we are so close....why now???

 

sorry, i cant help but vent....it is just frustrating i wanna cry...

 

It's definitely not a question of whether your relationship is bona fide, 8.5 years prove a lot! It's the bureaucratic machine that brings so much grief and distress to the loving people...vent, cry, ride a bike, jog, anything that makes you feel even a bit better! Our hearts are with you! heart.gif heart.gif heart.gif

That is some looong waiting time...unfortunately I don't have any helpful ideas to bring to the table. I am very sympathetic and this is a shame it takes so long for them to review. Please don't give up!!! I wish you to stay strong and I'm sure your fiance, friends, family and VJ community will help you to go through this difficult time.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview this morning

You need to do more thorough research on this. From what I read myself I remember that if you cleared medical exam, the doc said that everything is fine and you got your envelope, you are not obliged to get missing vaccinations before departure from your home country. BUT one needs to have all required shots done for adjustment of status. So one can do it in U.S. (If she gets pregnant right away after arrival, no one will insist on those shots I assume) So read a little more, get some references and email to the embassy. I don't think that missing vaccinations is the basis for visa denial. They worry most about STD and tuberculosis.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 28- K-1 Interview and Visa APPROVED! :-D

Can somebody please answer this question who get the package? Me the who file or my man in Uganda I am confuse

 

Can't speak for Uganda, but here in Russia I didn't get no "packages".

After NOA2 (Apr08) the letter was sent (Apr24) to the Petitioner that the case has been received by NVC and will be forwarded to the respective Consulate within a week. It also stated that the fiancé (me) will soon receive a packet with instruction on how to file a K1.

Later (May08) the Petitioner (again not me, the foreign fiancé) received this

 

"

Dear Petitioner:

Please resend the letter to your fiancé(e).

 

Dear Applicant:

We are pleased to inform you that the Immigrant Visa Unit of U.S. Embassy Moscow has received your approved visa petition and that your case is ready for processing.

You should now visit http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ru to complete the following steps: 1) arrange payment of the $240 visa fee; 2) enter an address to which the visa will be delivered; and 3) schedule your interview appointment.  Once you pay the fee and specify the delivery address, you may schedule your interview for any available appointment slot.  Please ensure that the date you select falls within four months of the date on which the visa petition was approved.  Failure to do so may impact the validity of your visa petition.

All applicants for fiancé(e) visas must comply with the processing requirements detailed at http://moscow.usembassy.gov/iv-fiancee.html. This page provides the most accurate and complete information needed to prepare for your interview including a list of required documents.  Thank you.

 

Immigrant Visa Unit

U.S. Embassy Moscow"

 

I wrote the email inquiry (May07) about my case to the Moscow Embassy at the same time. I was under the impression I would get an actual package. Instead the letter with approximately the same content was sent to me (May14):

 

"Dear Applicant:

So...no physical package with instructions. I called Embassy phone line and they said I won't be getting anything, but  this letter. I can schedule interview and collect documents. So in case with Moscow Embassy they didn't physically mail me anything prior to interview, and I didn't send them anything either. Hope this answers your question.

Oh, thank you! You got me worried there for a second, because I didn't send anything to the embassy between the approval date and interview. And from your initial post it sounded like you did. Well, I'm ready then) Just got final set of docs from the States this morning. Now - medical check and I'm good to go!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow fast the letters are delivered in Russia

Hi everyone,

 

I got a notification yesterday - a first-class mail is waiting for me! I rushed to a post office to receive it, and was amazed when I opened it. No, not by the content (it was a standard letter inviting me to pay a fee and schedule a K1 interview), but by the PROCESSING TIME.

The letter was dated 7-May-13

It was sent from Moscow 22-May-13 (that was the date on the stamp) So it spent 2 weeks just laying on smb's desk.

It was received in Vladivostok 26-JUNE-13 (I was in the airplane by then going to my interview) !!!

It took another 12 days by our post office to sent me a notification that an envelope is waiting for me.

 

I'm a happy owner of K1 by now and ready to travel to US 13Jul..but I thought I would share this ridiculous story with you.. Good thing the Embassy also sends out an email to the Petitioner, because if we all waited for a letter - we'd hit over a year waiting time.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsif your daughter to be follow for k1visa

hello guys! if your daughter to be follow from U.S next year is still counted to household? my fiancee income was not enough for 3 persons so we are planning to left my daughter for a while only me would go??but of course i will get her after a year i know its so sucks to left my daughter behind but there is no options coz we cannot find a co sponsor to reach the poverty guidelines...now i would like to ask is it my daughter still counted to household even she will be follow me???thanks...


Well why don't you wait with your daughter? Or why doesn't your fiancé get a second job for now? Even if you go and get your daughter later he still needs to increase his income by that time.
And as a mother I really can not understand how you can even think about leaving your kid behind? Yeah it's hard o be apart from the one you love but leaving your kid.....come on!

So he received no written instructions on what you guys need to hand in, in order to be approved? You got some phone calls to make! He sending in papers regarding his job makes no sense at all. You need to find out exactly what you need! As it is now you are not approved

http://www.cnn.com/2...-abc/?hpt=hp_t3

Amazing how many people meet their signficant other online these days and its forbidden for people to meet online internationally. Anyways wish you the best of luck buddy but I think that is the reason of your interview result.

btw any plans of recource appeal the results?
