K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F June Filers

Id say based on timelines and the speed at which some applications are processed...we are looking at late august for the EARLY June filers and Mid to late September for the rest...and also depending on which service center. Im at VSC and we seem to be at a stand still almost...so I guess time will tell


I normally love the summer, but this is one summer I am hoping to fly by. I never was a big fan of September, but this time around, I'm hoping it's a good one. :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F June Filers

Hi All,

I sent my i-129f packet in early-mid June, check was cashed on june 25, according to the Case Status website, the last time my file was "touched" was june 24. I still have NOT gotten my NOA-1 in the mail? I sent my packet to Nebraska and it was apparently forwarded to California. Should I worry at all? Should I email them and tell them that I haven't gotten my NOA-1?

Thanks,
Worried Filer :(


I wouldn't worry about it. I never received my NOA1 either. There was a computer glitch and a lot of June filers never got their NOA1. As long as you can access your case online, you are ok. What you really want is NOA2. :thumbs:

Ufff


Soo...any guesses on approval? We really should start a pool. Might be kinda fun. I'm predicting alot of us will be seeing NOA2s by the end of September. Maybe a few this month.


A few this month would be nice, but that is probably pushing it unfortunately...unless you count the Cuban K1's etc, but that's a different story I think.

YAY!

Ours jumped from October 4th to Sept 18th. That's more like it! :thumbs:


Maybe we should start a pool. Pick the date when June filers start seeing NOA2s? :whistle:



Well, here is a hard piece of fat to chew. I called the USCIS and talked to a lady there for a good 5 min and drilled her with questions from A-Z, even asking if it would speed things up if I went to Brasil and got my fiance pregnant. :devil: Anyway, with all the congestion with consolidating service centers and the 30,000 apps a month they are getting in, not to mention the spike in apps by those trying to beat the new fee increase, she said it would realisticly take 6 mos to get my NOA2 (approval). I about shot blood from my eyes hearing that. Then I reminded her I filed for the k1 in mid June and asked about their holiday schedule due to the tri-fecta holidays in the latter part of the year. She said that will have an effect for sure even at embassy's abroad with people traveling home for the holidays. Oh, I suspected such a thing and I was real happy hearing that.... :angry: So finally, I told her that I guess what your saying is that my fiance wont be getting her gyno exam anytime soon....

I'm just going to take what they say with a grain of salt until others who may call can confirm from other individuals at the USCIS.

Anyone else notice their date of adjudication steadily get farther and farther away? Wasn't bothering me at first but I went from the 3rd week of September to almost the middle of October. I guess CSC must have have decided to stop processing any petitions until after the July 30th date. ;) A joke...just want that date to get closer is all.

OK I COPIED AND PASTED WHAT IT SAYS, I JUST DID NOT INCLUDE CASE NUMBER FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.... NOW JUST WAITING FOR THE LETTER, AND I NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT COMES NEXT


Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On July 9, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.



Holy fecal matter Batman.........................

Hope they didn't screw it up!!



That doesn't sound right. If you recently filed, I can't see how they could have approved it already. Are you absolutely certain you read the file number correctly? When I first put ours in, I got something for a completely different petition. I had one number wrong.

Got my NOA today, it was dated June 26th.............


I have an official NOA1 date of June 12, but I never have received a hard copy. That's so strange how each petition differs in timing of mail received.


Don't you just love the consistency of a government organization...... :whistle:



Yes, some received it and others didn't. Even if you filed on the same day or close to the same day. No real reason. I've noticed some people have gotten touches that filed slightly before or after we did and ours has been sitting there.

actually I filed at NCS I guess they going to forward it to CSC isn't?


That is my understanding......all I-129F's are now being processed by VSC and CSC. I'm sure I will be corrected if wrong.......


Yes...all I-129F's petitions are sent to the CSC if they are first sent to the NSC.

We posted ours on June 11th and got our NOA1 on June 22nd! :dance:

December :crying: I was thinking more like the end of September... Now that REALLY is being optimistic, huh? lol

i was looking at the wait times... And Vermont have only just got round to processing December '06 filers :o Does that change quite regularly then?

Good luck to all :thumbs:


I believe their estimate is off. Many say to use the timeline on here because it is more accurate.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F June Filers

Hello all,

I'm excited to have a thread for June filers. I sent out our petition to the NSC on June 4th. The check was cashed on the 19th, and the NOA1 was dated June 18. I received the hard copy in the mail on the 20th I believe. I'm not looking forward to all the waiting we have ahead of us now. I'm hoping to have my fiancé here by the beginning of December - it would be really great if he was here by Thanksgiving, but I think that may be stretching it. It seems a few of us are thinking December as well... What is everyone else thinking? (Not that it matters what we THINK! :no: )

Sarah


I'm really hoping for December as well. :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIgor's list Vs. CSC estimated wait times.....
Well....immediately after I posted this topic I checked both Igor's list (I was #99) AND the official USCIS website I found out my NOA2 was approved October 7th, so I answered my own question. Now we all know Igor's list is a pretty accurate representation of wait times. I suppose once you are in the top 100 your NOA2 can come at any time! Good luck all and hope my topic helped someone else wow.gif

On to the next step of many more........

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIgor's list Vs. CSC estimated wait times.....
Hello everyone. I file my I-129 back on mAy 29th and was just wondering how accurate is Igor's list compared to UCICS' estimated wait times? Anyone know?
According to Igor's list my NOA2 should be coming within a few weeks, but looking at the official estimated wait times at CSC I am looking a few months headbonk.gif Which is more accurate? To me it seems like Igor's list is more real life (albeit a small sample of real life) whereas UCICS is more like a very time-padded loose guesstimate to cover their A**es in case they take longer than the promised times...I dunno. helpsmilie.gif
What is everyone's experiences or thoughts on this?

Thanks, Erika

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPacket 3 proof of a relationship
Hello everyone I am now trying to finish assembling packet 3 and the proof of relationship. I don't know what the consulate will think when I don't have any chat logs for the 1st 5 months or so we we chatted online. I filed back in May.
I am trying to organize this whole thing and have emails (only like 5 from the 1st few months) photos, receipts, airline tickets from when I went to Istanbul twice to see him since and plan on going for the interview too, passport stamps, movie stubs, ATM slips, store receipts....text message phone logs, but also only from when we started texting in May, but not before that (we were still getting to know each other and had not met yet) problem is i don't have any chat logs (and phone texts) for December 2007 to May 2008 because my computer got a virus and Yahoo archives are lost.
We didn't know how important it would be to save our chats for this visa until after we filed....anyone else with the same problem? Pshbrk...whaddya think? How will they take this...the consul that is....? wink.gif

I think it's the proof of meeting/relationship that gets me most anxious. I keep thinking of *new* things to add to the application, and then keeping scanning and sending Chris more documents and I'm all, "Check your e-mail! Print those documents! Life and death!" I feel really nervous that I'm not the one mailing it off to CSC because I've been reading up like crazy on the process and Chris really hasn't. I find all sorts of new things to worry about all the time.



You know what? I was too! Vito even had 130 pages of skype chat that he didn't know what to do with. But the others were really helpful and said that the petition is to establish that you have met within the last two years and at the interview is when you establish bonafide relationship. So in the end we sent photocopies of my tickets from the last trip, copies of some tickets for his train with my name on from said trip, I think he sent a reciept of his trip when we first met and photocopies of the stamps and picture pages of my passport. Then we sent some photos of us together and I think in the end he did sent a small selection of the chat but not too much. I must admit I did find other bits I wish we had sent but It was too late by time I found it. If they need more they can rfe us. Worrying just gives you an ulcer.
get him to sign up to here if you want him to read up more.



Yes, tell me about ulcers! Wow, the first month after I sent our I-129f out to CSC (May 29th) I kept thinking of this and that and even things I would need later in the process and I drove myself nuts. I have my moments when i feel like there is so much ####### to wade through that it seems impossible that there will be a day I am with him again. Then I have my days where I think "Erika, why worry 99% get approved you need not worry." Then the sad days, the blah days and some happy ones thrown in between. Then........it starts all over again.....stress stress stress.
Happy day when we can all look back and think "why did I worry so much?" Instead, we will be upset about the socks on the floor or how he keeps leaving the toilet seat up or her annoying friend or how she talks on the phone during dinner....whatever.... I look forward to the day he is with me everyday and all the annoying and wondeful things that come with it.
Happy day to all!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportscan I get appointment at US embassy manila?
Ok a few things that is a little troubling for me is you claim your fiancee backround could be a problem? Why?iIf you care to tell us. Second is he serious about his relationship with you because there is no way that a man that loves his wife or fiancee would sit by so long and not realize something is not right with the application.

The reality is it his resposibility to follow up with the USCIS or to get an attorney to deal with the case if he was serious. You only know what he tells you
and right now based off of the limited info that you have on your timeline at this point there are some issues.

Hi, no, I haven't had a touch since I had a change of address in early June (which also could be leading to this delay although no one I talk to at USCIS thinks so).

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIn the Processing Area?
Hi, I'm still waiting for our NOA2 and I filed late February this year. I've recently spoken with constituent services for my local Congressman.

I've also been in touch with my two Senators with not a lot of luck because the USCIS is quoting the processing time is 8 1/2 months to them. (This USCIS website timeline keeps getting pushed back by the way.....)

In my last conversation with a contact for the Congressman, I was told my file is "In the Processing Area" and if I don't hear anything back in a week, to call back. I was given the impression as though being 'In the Processing Area' means something is impending....Does anybody know about that? I'm afraid I've been 'In the Processing Area' for 7 months now.


Thanks

Yeah, there's a million things to complain about but I don't think discrimination is one of those with this process. It sounds like you're just under six months so it'll be tough to get Senator/Congressman involvement (maybe it's just mine but...) because you're still within processing times. Anyway, anything is worth a shot...Good luck!
