K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2008 Filers
Yes...it is very disappointing considering how things are moving in Cali. But, it is what it is and we'll all huddle together here and keep each other encouraged and share in the highs and lows of the process. Not much we can do to change the situation, just deal with it togeher and celebrate the good news as it comes.

Any news from the August Vermont filers? It has been a week since my package was delivered and I'm still waiting for my check to be cashed. Curious if anyone has seen any progress.

Thanks-
Mark

Our petition was FINALLY sent today.

kicking.gif

It's been sitting on my fiancee's desk since JUNE... because his boss is shitty and hasn't paid him for months (we're working on taking this further with him). Luckily, a family member let him borrow some money to send the packet.

So we'll hopefully be getting notification of it arriving tomorrow evening and then we wait for our NOA1.


Good luck and best wishes.

I hope you had a wonderful time with your sweetheart?! I understand your frustration about this process, but try to keep your self busy as much as you can! That’s what I try to do! Of course you will have up and downs true this journey, but try to think positive when those days will come along!
No need to be sorry we all need vent sometimes, that is why we are here for to give support to each other!

Good luck my friends energy.gif !


Thank you so very much. Your words of encouragement are greatly appreciated. Best wishes you to you.

It's been less than a week since I returned from India and I am not sure how I'm gonna survive months and months and months of waiting to see my fiance again. I really don't know how so many do it. I'm going to investigate taking an assignment with my company in India. Even if it is for a couple of years at least I'll be with her. Just seems like nonsense to put people through such a lengthy and emotionally draining process because of where a person was born. Sorry..venting I know. smile.gif

Ok, back to watching the Olympics.

Hey Mark

Decided to join you here also as i couldn't find another thread for Aug/Vermont/K1 filers smile.gif

and so the wait for us begins, hopefully not too long smile.gif


Hi Michelle. Welcome aboard the Aug/Vermont/K1 thread. good.gif My petition package arrived in Vermont on Wed morning according to DHL tracking, so I guess the next step is to wait and see when the check will clear and to receive official notification that from Vermont that it was received. What is most important for me to know right now that everything has been submitted correctly and that it is just then a waiting game for it to move through the processing stages.

Mark, you might want to alter the title of your thread to incorporate the fact that you're filing with Vermont (there is an August thread dedicated to CSC filers just below this one!!).

Just thought it might help to clarify things a little.



My mistake. I overlooked the other threads accidently. How do I change the thread title? Otherwise, this can just be deleted or merged with the other threads if a mod can help. Thanks - Mark

I just submitted my I-129F petition to Vermont yesterday via DHL. Waiting for proof of receipt today. smile.gif I thought I'd get the conversation started for those joining me on the journey this month. I look forward to sharing stories along the way.

My fiance is Indian and resides in Bangalore. We got engaged on 7/30/08 and I just returned from India on Monday. This site has been really fantastic in helping me feel confident that I can do this process on my own and with the great assistance and advice of the community here.


Best of luck to all filing in August. Here we go and may it be a smooth ride for all.

My finace's interview was today. I'm happy to say he was approved! Unfortunately, Haiti has changed the process so that you no longer get the visa the same day. So he won't actually get the visa in hand until January 5. But the most important thing is MY BABY'S FINALLY COMING HOME!!!!!!!

Hi all!

I just wanted to let everybody know that we've been approved as of November 2nd. I checked the USCIS site just now and it says approved. There's no email yet, but maybe that will come later. It's a long journey and I hope CSC and VSC kick it into high gear and approve everybody! GO CSC!!! GO VSC!!! kicking.gif


Congrats!! smile.gif

I filed on 5 June, I really hope I will be approved by next week!! wacko.gif


Hang in there, yours should be coming soon. Do you know if your case is with an officer yet? Mine went to an officer October 22nd.


Well I think my case is with an officer since 30 October, that was when the CS told me since it is touched it is on an officer's desk, I just hope they won't keep my case for long.. sad.gif


If that's the case, it should be soon! They worked on my case for 11 days. I don't know why it took that long, but you should be hearing something any day now. Just keep the faith!

I called yesterday with the RFE trick---I got a nice guy but not too smart. He said they were processing the March applications. So WE KNOW that's not right. Even with my call yesterday no touch on the website. Does anybody else feel up to calling today? Maybe I should call again----maybe I'll get somebody honestly helpful. The ever patient Alane & Ramzis



I did the same thing yesterday. As a matter of fact of fact, I called 3 times yesterday, spoke to 3 different people, and got the same bogus answers: "We're working on cases back in March. You should get an answer in 3 months". Well we all know that's a bunch of #######! I'm expecting this month to be my month and everybody else's month too. WE'RE TIRED OF WAITING!!!!!! helpsmilie.gif

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that it looks like the VSC is going FAST! I got my NOA1 on Sept 4 and just got NOA2 on Oct 15. Also, I was scared about a month ago as I thought I should have sent 4 copies of the G325A. But it was accepted with only 1 copy (for me and my fiance).
So, no worries!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsBank letter question for Interview
I also bank with them and I presume I received the same letter, there was a $30 fee. It references all the information you mentioned. I had them insert for the sponsorship of my fiance, just to show relevance to what I was doing. But with or without his name, it's the same letter. It's the only reference type letter they offer so it should be fine. It does come addressed to you but what you can also do is go online and print a couple of your statements as additional proof. I've heard the bank statement isn't even as important as the W-2's, your employment verification letter and pay stubs so be sure to have those too.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 VISA APPROVED!!!

Congrats! You must be SO excited!!! I'm interested to hear how the interview was?! We're still waiting for a date...


The interview was very basic actually. No seriously detailed questions, she had adequate proof of relationship, (printed Cell phone bills, pics, e-mails etc) and I think that pretty much helped answer all the questions they had. Most of it was a reaffirmation of the POR. Of course that was our interview, it seems from what I have read on here that everyone seems to have a different experience. Our experience, journey, and end result was exactly what we planned for and expected, everything was very straightforward. Just don't be nervous and all will be well. If you've been approved for the interview then the majority of your problems are over. According to the NVC when I called them to check on our interview process, Roxana had already been deemed 100% eligible for the VISA and all paperwork was 100% approved we were just waiting for the interview date. The interview is a confirmation meeting as much as anything else to prove the the applicant is who they say they are and that the identifications are verified. It is also a chance for the consular officer to meet with you and determine that you are for real and that your relationship is for real. If all of that is completed then you have no worries. :) Hope this helps, Good Luck on Monday, if DHL tells you 3 to 5 days for your VISA to be delivered that's accurate, Roxana's was delivered to her yesterday morning. 5 Days from the interview.
