K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEvidence of meeting
Hi,

We also added phonebillrecords and e-mails, cards sent through post. We never had an RFE so, by doing that you should be fine.
foxtobeeFemaleNetherlands2006-09-18 10:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProcessing times
Ours did. When we were checking it before our NOA 2 it said they were processing March 6, 2006 and I received my visa 2 weeks ago.
You can't really get any answer from that, since every case is individual and we received our NOA 2 , three months after our NOA 1.
foxtobeeFemaleNetherlands2006-10-30 08:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat to do????need help
You can't get an extention on your visa, the K-1 is only provided once, so you need to get married within that period.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI am starting a prayer brigade for non-stop approval of NOA2s especially for those who have long been waiting and for all other approvals you
Hurray,

4 days after posting our prayer here, we received our NOA2, we didn't expect it yet, so we consider this an answer. Amen!! Thank you Lord, for forfilling our wish.

Dear Jesus,

I know you already know the longing in our hearts to be with the ones we love so much. Lord, I ask that you will give wisdom to those who are taking care of all the papers and evidence we have sent in. We know that you will grant us the blessing, as long as we ask You for them. So I pray that you will hepl us to be patient, but yet have our NOA's 2 as soon as possible and on Your time.
May Your Name be glorified through this.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat next? Last updated on uscis.gov 08/12/2006

But individual results can vary widely.


Don't suppose there is anything to speed things once we are at that part of the process right? Just kind of random on whether it goes quick or slow?

I just hope things don't end up like they normally do for me.....always manage to end up going as bad as possible instead of getting lucky and going smoothly. I only hope this goes smooth as I miss the hell out of her. I'm sure that I am no where near the only one that feels like this though. Guess I just wait and see since there isnt much else I can do at this point.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat next? Last updated on uscis.gov 08/12/2006


Just trying to get an idea on what happens next. I sent the packet in and it was received by them. They put up a date of 08/12/06 as the updated date, I assume that is when they are saying they received the packet in and everything? I think they actually got the mail like 8/3/06 or something. What happens next though? Will I just wait for something in the mail? Am I unrealistically thinking that my fiancée will be able to come here around March of next year?

Thanks in advance for any info you guys can provide.


Have you gotten NOA1 yet? An update saying they've received the petition? After sending the packet, next thing would be NOA1. Then hopefully approval (NOA2), if you don't get any RFEs.

As for how long it'll take, hard to estimate, since you haven't told which service center you've filed with.


Thanks for all of your help. I'm pretty lost with the process actually. I did get an I-797C, Notice of Action in the mail.

Received Date: July 24, 2006
Notice Date: August 5, 2006
Notice Type: Receipt Notice. Amount received: $170.00

I filed at the California Service Center.

When I check online it always says they are processing papers from March 8. It never changes.


I guess my main concern is I do not want to hold up the process on anything my fiancée or I need to get or send back. I don't want them to be waiting for something from us and we not know it so we just delay the process even longer. I haven’t received anything else in the mail other than this letter. Again, thanks for the input and help, we both really appreciate it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresApproved too!

Congratulations! (F)



Congrats to you guys.

I have a quick question about NAO2, is there somewhere on the USCIS site I need to look to see what happened to my status? I checked today and it says Last Updated: 09/20/2006. Is this what everyone is referring to as a "touch"? What will it say once it goes to the NAO2 step of the process? Thanks.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures.......This case has been approved
*** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL ***

The following is the latest information on your case status

Receipt Number: WAXXXXXXXXX

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status:

This case has been approved. On September 20, 2006, an approval notice
was mailed. If 30 days have passed and you have not received this
notice, you may wish to verify or update your address. To update your
address, please speak to an Immigration Information Officer during business
hours.


I guess now I just have to read the forums some more to find out what the next steps of the process are. I was very surprised as I was kind of hoping that it would just be done before the first of the year. Good luck to all those that are waiting. I hope everyone can have a quick resolution to there current situation.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen did you receive your E-mail from USCIS
Thu, 21 Sep 2006 12:00:53 -0400 (EDT) for mine. They spammed my email to make sure I got it maybe ;).

I got 5 emails with the same thing.

Maybe they were tired of me spamming there servers logging in to check status so they are trying to get me back.
BinowMalePhilippines2006-09-21 20:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAnyone touched the 18th and 19th
I was touched on the 19th and approved on the 20th. I didnt receive the approval email until the 21st though, so hopefully you will have similar luck and get an email today saying you are approved.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance' Visiting During K-1 Process
For what it's worth:

I asked an attorney about that. We applied and the official date was March 22nd (now March 27th). Cécile came out here on March 20th and stayed until April 20th. I asked if this was a problem holding up the NOA2 approval. He said no. And if Cécile wanted to come here again before the NOA2, I should stress to her not to even mention to the customs people about the K-1 petition and that she was just here to visit friends.

The attorney is the husabnd of a coworker of mine and has been very helpful to me without even asking for a fee.

Again, for what it's worth.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you all.

It's been so grueling, these last 6 months. I've been so depressed. I had even begun to doubt myself, to doubt my own feelings. Why did something so simple as falling in love have to be so complicated? Maybe it wasn't meant to be.

I also felt a lot of anger. Why was my country, who's foundation included the inalienable right of every person to pursue happiness, denying me that right?

I can't begin to describe how trying this ordeal has been.

I was talking today with a friend and coworker who's about to embark on this journey and it made her feel so much better knowing that she's not alone in feeling the gamut of emotions she's experiencing.

Again, thank you. I don't think Cécile and I could have coped with it without all of you.

(Oh...wait...it's not over yet)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Kirsten, I've been following your posts. Thanks for the best wishes. May I extend them to you as well.

I was in Paris from Sept 5th through the 13th and the weather was so beautiful. It was between 75 and 81 the whole time and the sun was out and shining on us. Cécile and I were in Montmarte the first 3 days and then we went to this Manor in Bréançon that was amazing. We spent the weekend there. The last 2 nights we spent in Montparnasse (I don't know if I'm spelling this stuff right) at another great hotel, l'hðtel Lenox (beautiful room, unlimited WiFi, amazing service, nice bar).

If you go back and you need some tips, let me know.

And thanks again.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got the notice in the mail tonight. The receipt date says March 27th now instead of March 22nd (from the original NOA1) but it's here.

The postmark on the envelope is Sept 6th.

I just got back from France yesterday. While I was there, Cécile and I logged in every day to check our status but nothing changed. In fact, my account still says the same thing. I never received an email notification or anything.

But I'm holding it in my hand right now and it's the most beautiful piece of paper I have ever seen.

I want to thank all of you. I can't imagine how we would have been able to get through this ordeal without your help and support.

Best wishes to you all. I can't believe how happy I am. To all of you still waiting, I can assure you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel (and it's not a train coming from the opposite direction).
