K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2007 K-1 filers
Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to say that CSC is not sending out any information as far as touches or even approvals of applications for the K-1 visa. Why is this? I received my NOA1 on May 24, 2007 and the last time it was touched was May 30,2007 when someone put it in a stack or on a shelf somewhere. I've been tracking a majority of the V.J members that have the similar timeline as myself and their not getting touches or approvals either. Maybe I'm being a little impatient but it's been over 3 months. How hard is it to look at paperwork of two people that are and is very obviously in love but can't do anything but wait and wonder when someone is going to get off break and do some work. I read recently that all the service centers were going digital and updating their systems to be more customer friendly by making the process more streamline. Looks to me like a steamroller instead of streamlined. SLOW!!! mad.gif I know Rome wasn't built in a day nor was Adam granted Eve on the first day. Just looking for a little support and encouragement to give to my finacee when she cries. Any May filers or filers thereafter feel free to voice your frustrations.

Congratulations and good luck.



I think it is at least 85 days based on the current timelines. You might want to look at your local consulate at the processing times.... Congrats again!!!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAddress
Hey Eric,

I don't know why you didn't get a reply form someone here on this subject. I ran into the same problem with my fiancee. She had moved from her house because of some family problems and moved in with friends of her church. As you we were worried, not only with packet 3 but with packet 4and delivery of the visa. I'm not sure of your time line with med exam and interview but I would request a early med exam and get packet 3 from the clinic. I would also suggest that you type up a letter stating the change in her address and fax it signed by you the petitioner to your fiancee's embassy. I would call them and let the immigrations unit at the embassy know of the change to her address and who to address the letter to. I hope this information helps you. I had asked the same question to all and this is the direction they gave me. Have a good day and best wishes on the rest of your journey.

Hello Friends,,,,

I'm over 140 days with no touches. I've called several times using different tactics but no reliable information given.I know surely sometime within this month all of May filers will receive their NOA2's.We just have to believe in the unseen powers above. It's all we have to believe in.



Keeping the faith!!!!!! innocent.gif good.gif

Everyone take a deep breath please. I think everyone is getting uptight with the waiting. "WE" are all in the same boat so let's not argue points or statistical data. "When we hear or receive our approval we can all be thankful To God the most for giving us this site and the people we share the same common goals with. May we all receive approval soon but we all need to relax and think of each other. I realized everyone has their opionions. Go CSC and VSC

Where is all the NOA2's today? I noticed just two that were approved today thru CSC. Is this correct. I called USCIS and looked on their website and just got the same info (still pending) and no touches since 5-30-07. I hope something gives soon. Getting alittle impatient with these people but patience is a vurtue. Here's to a good round of NOA2 approvals being sent this afternoon and early evening via the web.. good.gif good.gif good.gif good.gif good.gif good.gif good.gif good.gif

Hello Everyone,
I received our hardcopy of our NOA2 today via snail mail. It stated that on Oct 26th, my case had been forwarded to NVC. I will believe it when I see the email from NVC stating such and that our case is on it's way to Manila. I just hope we are together by Christmas but it's not looking that way due to the backlog of NOA2's from the service centers. Can't they just do their jobs right? I'm a federal government employee but I have never seen such incompetence. I just hope for us waiting for them to send these cases to NVC hear some positive news this week.

Come on USCIS, approve all May filers before this month is over. You need the stats to show you were doing something other than drinking coffee and reading the paper.

Am I the only one who's VJ timeline increases one to two days everyday?Hello Everafter, ours was the 4th of Oct. at the beginning of last week. Now it is Oct 12 so your not alone in this. I hope and pray to our Heavenly Father that CSC gets a move on this week and gets thru all of May's petitions. One can only hope huh? It is possible if only we believe in him innocent.gif

Thanks so much Byron, I'm a May filer waiting on CSC. Haven't received any touches since 5-30-07. I called USCIS service center a week ago and was given the same old line,, "still within the normal processing times" Got to love the Government when they can approve a green card to a immigrant worker in as little as a month and we are sitting here on our thumbs patiently waiting to get our loves ones here. Just doesn't make any sense. Well, thanks again for the numbers. Here's wishing you a speedy NOA2 soon. Best wishes to you and yours. good.gif kicking.gif

Where do you find the number for the VSC? I thought you could only call USCIS worthless customer service.


Number is 1-800-3755283

I posted what you should do somewhere in the May filers thread or the Waiting for NOA2 from VCS thread.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview in Eleven Days!
Yes Pam, it is 100 US. The fee is some cases is paid prior to the interview. This is sometimes required by the USE. Please check with your embassy and see what their requirements are. I hope this hopes. And just want to say,,, welcome to VisaJourney and best wishes on your interview..



Jim and Mercy









Good afternoon,

Hello, My name is Pam and I am a newbie to VJ. I have been reading all the different posts and I have gotten alot of questions answered. My fiance interview is December 11, 2007, and we need to know what fee will he need to pay. We filed for the K1 visa - I have been told that it's $100 US. He has gotten different amounts. I called the NVC and the representative told me its $100, I believe her - Len is confused because many locals have told him differently. I told him to go with the information from the representative from NVC.

Can anyone tell me the process and the amount they paid and where they paid the fee?

Thanks for your help
