Canadafiling 1-485 and biometrics appt question

In my case about 2 weeks after I filed I got the NOA1 receipt notice, then soon after that a letter for the biometrics appt, the appt date was about a month after the letter. All they do there is fingerprints and photo. This is just in case they have not already taken your prints and photo every bloody time you enter the country and then twice at the embassy during interview.

I may be wrong but I don't think you need an American one, they will do that themselves once you give them the dates etc you were in the US.

 

is there a Canadian forum you can post in to see what everyone else did?

 

Yes there is, just looked, ask in here

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionBiometrics appt

I took my  passport and appt letter as that was all that was asked for in the letter. Nothing else was needed. All that happens is you queue for a bit, sit for a bit then have your photo and fingerprints taken. Thats it, took about an hour all told, most of that waiting.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion2 year greencard What is next?

Have  a break from USCIS but start collecting stuff for ROC for 21 months time dont leave it then just provide evidence from 2 weeks prior, get a box or folder and start putting occasional stuff in there, bills in both names, bank statements every now and again and so on.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMY 2years Green Card is about to expire

 

Even if they didn't, or haven't, I didn't need the immigration officer to tell me that I needed to remove conditions on my card after two years. ######, if I received something that starts with "conditional", I'd be doing everything I can to figure out how to get that conditional thing off! These are the kinds of things that you need to pay attention to or risk ###### deportation. That is how serious this is. Does the expiry date on the card not even make people THINK that they probably have to do something before then?

 

Sometimes people just want to be ###### spoonfed everything.

I agree people ought to be aware, I just got my 2 year card and am keeping stuff for ROC already. 

No, not everyone has an interview, I did not for AoS. 

Just not sure why you need to come on here and swear.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMY 2years Green Card is about to expire

do people not pay attention to these things? the immigration officer at the AoS interview even tells you to remember to remove conditions two years after you get your conditional residency.

How do you know they had an AOS interview and even if they did how do you know what was said.

I am K-1 and that took over nine months so it's not that quick, what you spousal visa people seem to forget is that you will get a GC almost straightaway where I now have another 6 to 8 month wait for that as well, plus another $1070 just to file, then there will be removal of conditions and assoc fees to come.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVSC transfer TSC to NVC or something bad? Confused?

My fiancee called NVC a couple of days ago and they are still saying up to 8 weeks for a case number. She also did her own bit of research and it appears the Obama administration has told the NVC to concentrate more on other types on visa and use less resources for K-1s

I do not know what dates things were sent, my fiancee, the USC, has not mentioned being told, I have been badgering her to call the NVC which is the only reason we know we have a case number. They told her they got "it" the day before. Whether that means the number or the file I don't know.

Sorry cant be more helpful

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVSC to TSC K1 transfer

We are a transfer as above with an NOA2 date of 24 June, we got NVC case number today.

 

So hopefully it will let a few people know the timescales at the moment. I know there is a lot of discussion on this topic so I started it again so people would see it easily.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 petition approved, help!

In London you need your police cert (or copy) to take with you to the medical. You do not say at what stage you are at so its a bit hard to tell. Seems to be a 2 week wait for medical in London. I got my police cert well in advance, waited until my applications showed" in transit" from the NVC and then booked medical on the grounds that they will have my stuff in London by the time I do the medical. Once I am out of the medical I shall bung my DS forms including readiness for interview in the post.

You can send your stuff off before the medical but they will not schedule an interview until you have had the medical. You need to enclose a cover letter with your readiness form etc and it should state the date of your medical.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFile transferred to Texas 21 June 2013

Wait is the only thing, ours was moved from VSC to TSC in april or may, (we filed in Dec '12 and got NOA1 in  jan) we got NOA2 on 24 June. Your NOA2 should therefore be along sometime soon if our timeline is anything to go by.

Our file in en route to London now so it does shift along a bit once you get NOA2.


nobbieMaleUnited Kingdom2013-07-26 04:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsProbably a stupid question, but...

It is up to you whether you contact them or not. You will get your case number  anyway but as the post above says you can call them for it and use it to book your medical. You will need your police cert when you go for the medical so get that as well if you have not already.

Had my Interview yesterday morning in London, and was approved! I fly out to the States next Friday 4th Oct. The whole process took 6 months from the initial petition submitted in March to the Interview yesterday!  

How do you know you will have your passport back by then. I had my interview monday but am not booking a flight yet.

Look in the Europe forum and see what others in Italy do.

 

in the Uk once it is received in London they send the beneficiary instructions on what to do next, forms to send in and so on. I imagine it will be similar but these things are embassy specific.

I think they forgot me and my fiance sad.png

 

if you are getting impatient already you are going to find this process very frustrating. We filed last year on about 18 Dec and got our NOA1 about 8 Jan then waited until 25 June for NAO2 with interview in Sept. It seems to be quicker now for K1 but you just need to wait...a lot.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI129-F sent. Now what?

Be worth seeing if the cheque has been cashed at least you know if they got that. Normally you get the NOA1 a week or two after sending the petition in. Last year we sent ours on 18 Dec and got NOA1 8 Jan i think.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRefused

Thank you ok&mk. My heart is heavy with sadness. Scammers make life so difficult for the rest of us who just want to live our lives. I should be able to be with whomever I choose and bring them to where I live. To spend all the money and time waiting for this and to be denied for something so miniscual is absolutely beyond my comprehension. My fiance is hard working man and deserves a much better life than Jamaica can provide. We have so many Americans that are lazy, non productive, and a waste of our tax dollars. We should be able to kick them out and let people who want to become someone, be someone, and make a difference in their own lives as well as their families lives. Truly unconscienable and ridiculous!!!!!

where would you kick the lazy people out to?

It will not be a few weeks, the OP is on a K1 so GC will take as stated above 3-12 months ish. AP and EAD should be 60-90 days after filing.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDo K1 visas take about 1 year? how long did yours take?

Mine was filed Dec 2012 and got the visa Sept 2013 which was typical for London at the time. Plus we got transferred from VSC to TSC. As stated the visa is good for 6 months plus (in London anyway) they will not schedule the interview until they have medical results and readiness form so you can control it a bit that way.
