I'm starting to freak out (...starting hahaha) about the interview, particularly the chance of being denied on finances.

 

Those of you who have been approved, what did you provide with your I134? What did they ask for? Did they look at it right then and tell you if you had sufficient evidence?

SO!!!

They finally called my number an hour and a half after my first little ~desk meeting~ (they call you up twice once to grab all the paperwork confirm who you are, make sure you paid and do you finger prints! Make sure you have copy's of your birth certificate ect I was asked and didn't have one and my guy huffed around for a couple of minutes because he had to copy it himself!)

The woman I had for the main interview was so happy smiley, when I walked over she was reading my file. It really paid off sending loads of proof of relationship, photos, emails, ect with my first packet as first thing she said to me was how sweet and funny we both were!

Most of the previous applicants had been up at the window for 15-20 minutes being asked questions but my interview was around 7-8 minutes long a majority of it was me telling the story of how we met! She did test me on the dates me met and asked me what he did for work but that was all the questions she asked! She then smiled at me and said 'I'm going to advise that you get approved! Thank you' and then told me I'd get my visa delivered within two weeks and that I could leave!

So bloody happy right now, I'm giving in my two months notice in at work tomorrow and hopefully booking a flight for the end of July! :D







 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! You must be beyond ecstatic and excited!

Is the NVC someone we can call for updated info after our petitions leave it for our respective embassies?  If so, sweet. Bonus.  :)

 

Also, I too love your Keats quote.

I'm also a high school English teacher and lover of Keats! :D :D :D

Mine tookexactly two weeks. I called every day and every day they said 5 weeks. It didnt stop me calling though!! :)

Called NVC today to see if they got my case (it's been 11 days, I'm antsy!). Nothing yet!! I called right at 7:30 EST and waited on hold for 30 minutes. Bummer. She said to wait up to 5 weeks to call but I'll be calling again next week!! Fingers crossed.

So, as soon as we get "Ready" on the CEAC site, are we basically free to send the packet 3 stuff to the embassy?

All the California filers with NOA2s and packet 3s and NVC case numbers :( I am losing hope. :(

 

I was checking out the Texas stats today and it is RIDICULOUS. I would be angry and sad.

 

I wonder why they don't transfer some of their backlog to California, who seem to be racing through.

 

Sending positive thoughts your way!!! :D :D :D

I wanna track! I wanna track!

I tried the EXP27APR2014A number and just input it into the tracking number box on the dhl site and it said "No result found for your DHL query. Please try again."

What am I doing wrong?

Hello Abby & Andre we were approved April 7th i am the Beneficiary my fiancé hasn't called yet he's waiting for two weeks mark :D

 

I bet you will get it this week!

 

I called on Friday and they didn't have our case yet. I am planning on calling back on Wednesday, which is the official two week mark.

 

The customer service representative I spoke to on the phone told me to call back in about three and a half weeks. I almost said, "If it takes you three and a half more weeks I will dissolve into a ball of tears!!!"

 

The positive news is, I think I only waited about 15 minutes on hold.

 

:D

Thinking of all of you and sending all my positive thoughts your way. :D

Quick question about "proof of ongoing relationship" stuff for the interview.

 

Do I only need to include proof from the point we filed the I 129f

or for the ENTIRE duration of our relationship?

 

I believe the guide on VJ says just stuff from I129f on, but it seems like a lot of people include everything.

 

What are your thoughts on this?

 

P.S. - called NVC, no record of our case yet.

For those still waiting for NOA2, I've noticed that most people got their notifications later at night (in EST). Mine came after 11pm EST.

 

I've been thinking of you and hoping you all get the happy news SO SOON.

Hi everyone, I hope your waiting goes well! :)

Have any of you travelled to the US after getting NOA1? Did you have any problems with the entrance to the US? I'm planning to go next month and I wanted to ask you if it's safe!

Thanks!




Ive visited twice since noa1. I brought our petition with me, a letter from work and a copy of thr school year calendar to prove I was on break for one week.

The border guard did not ask anything different from any other time I have visited.

Where are you going?
What is your citizenship?
How long will you be in the U.S.?
What do you do for work?
How did you meet?
What does your fiance do?
Are you bringing anything into the country?

I only stayed for a week both times. I found thr best policy is to answer honestly, but dont volunteer anything they dont specifically ask about. The k1 never came up in eiher of my crossings and I did not make a point of mentioning it.

Hello all,

 

I got my NOA about three weeks ago.  I didn't get an notification, etc about a change of Alien Number changed.  my fiancée(beneficiary) never had one.  does it mean that my alien number gets changed? 

 

I am confused about this alien number change which all of you seem to have gotten changed.

 

Please advise.

 

Thank you

 

 

 

Hi! On your NOA1 (the notification you got), there should be a receipt number that starts with three letters. If you go to www.uscis.gov and click on "Check my case status" you can input that number and it will tell you the latest on your case. That is where it will tell you that your alien number has been changed. :D Hope that helps!

I sure hope you're right. Knowing it could happen any day now really is making it so hard to focus on anything else at work LOL. I probably check my phone a million times a day hoping I missed the text alert. :)

 

I can't focus on anything else either! I must have checked 20 times today. Apparently patience is not one of my virtues. :D

Just out of curiosity (and for a little happy daydreaming/time passing), when do you all hope to be in the States by?

In my dream world, where everything goes smoothly and efficiently, I hope to be there by July.

Realistically, I think it will be October/November.

 

What are your dreams/realistic guesses?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFebruary 2014 filers

That's correct vaccinations aren't required for the k1 although some consulates are a bit iffy about it and tell you to have them done at the medical. The offical word on it is:

K visa applicants are encouraged to get the vaccinations required under U.S. immigration law for immigrant visa applicants. Although such vaccinations are not required for K visa issuance, they will be required when adjusting status to that of legal permanent resident following your marriage. Applicants are therefore encouraged to fulfill these vaccination requirements at the time of the medical examination.

 

Is there a list of vaccinations we will need? I'm pretty sure I'm up to date, but it would be nice to feel like I have something to "do" during this wait. :D

I get so excited every time any little thing happens with our case. Today, I was able to check our case status for the first time on the uscis site. Alien number has been changed and we are officially in "initial review".
