Give it 2 weeks from the date they said they mailed it. If you didn't get a notice that they mailed it, bug the USCIS about forwarding your case to NVC -- but you'll have to speak with a Tier 2 IO.
 
If you don't have a US number you can get this nifty little device, which you can leave with your daughter when you come to the US so she can call you free. :) It includes the device and 1 year of service. The service costs about $30 USD a year. I got it for my fiance, and it's been a life (and money) saver.
 
You can use any USB converter for a phone/device to power the device, so you don't have to get a plug converter if you have a usb/plug outlet converter thingy-mah-bob (technical term right there, yessiree).




Cheers thanks. I have a magic jack that I planned to leave behind for her so she can use on her laptop to call me. Also I bought her a iPad so she has Skype installed on the iPad and on her phone and we have used it while I have been in the usa many times it worked pretty well. I also discovered a app called tango which works well at times via wifi. We also use whatsapp to instant text, free for the first year I just recently renewed mine and my daughters subscription and a additional year was like 69 pence. So I went ahead and added 3 years paid up front for her phone and mine. It's good to establish many modes of communication due to distance and all. My sisters are all going to download the stuff too so they can contact me as we'll. I did just discover another one that's free for texts called viber. Seems to work well just have to encourage more people to download it.

Will leave for two weeks before calling then. I thought as much that it would take time.

I used Rapid Visa to prepare my paperwork, so it's all pre-filled out when I answered all their other questions, aside from the DS-156 (which I already filled out). I don't have to worry about much aside from getting my fiance the documents he'll need like my birth certificate and my divorce certificate. I plan on mailing those to him this weekend.
 
As far as I'm aware you're likely going to want to schedule your medical after you get your number from the NVC. The doctor will need that number when identifying you in his medical report. o.o Might want to call the embassy to find out for sure.



Yes your right. Just wondering if I should call them today or wait till Monday. Just cos we only got approved Monday its Thursday now so am guessing they probably haven't done much with sending the file to NVC.

My NOA1 is May 20th and my A# changed on May 28th. Some in my group have rfe's some approved, some with the receipt of the rfe but it's about 6-7 in my group still in initial review. I am not expecting anything until late August at the earliest. I'm not going to be impatient especially since I had my paperwork done since end of March and didn't file til May...


Hey how are you doing? You probably will see it by end of August they are moving quick now. I guess they are scared of getting a backlog again. I noticed 5745 got approved from my group on the 30th all others is unchanged. Looks like the California lot are doing may files too. So good news all around. Yes I agree with you. Keep busy it comes when your not expecting it. Mine I believe came as one of the computer updates they made at the weekend when the site went down Sunday. Then by Monday there was a email flashing one my phone. My app then flashed with the Statue of Liberty. Not long for you guys too.

I have no idea, but I imagine if you're not applying for a K2 visa for her, than you wouldn't need to go through with all that.  However, the process may still require it for some obscure money-grubbing-capitalistic-american reason.
You would have to check to see if it's required, but I don't think so. The police certification is only valid for a certain time (6 months in most countries) and the Medical is only valid for a year. So both would expire well before you'd need them.


Lol I like that. And too right and yes capitalism is costing all of us a fortune. This process has not been cheap at all. Yes like you said it's hardly worth it since it will all expire before she comes. However I bet someone's going to tell me she needs it just say they can make more money. Oh we'll cant complain still onwards we go. How are you getting on with all the DS forms etc? I downloaded all forms now plodding through them while waiting fon file to be sent to NVC. When do you think we should start harassing them ? I meant calling them lol. To get the new number. Called the Knightsbridge docs they said 2 weeks wait to get a appointment for medical. I was going to wait a week or do need to give them more time lol.

The AoS can take anywhere from 3-8 months or more. I hear it's typically 5-8 months, like with the K1 it depends on processing times for the Service Center, but at least your partner is there with you. After 2 years of being married you can apply to lift conditions unless you're AoS is granted after your 2nd anniversary, then you just get the standard 10 year GC.
 
As for the I-130:

  • Any U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident is an eligible sponsor for the I-130.
  • The I-130 process can take upwards of a year, this depends on the Service Center.
  • You will be her sponsor which means you'll have to file an I-864 and meet the income guidelines.
The K2 visa is valid for 6 months once it's been granted. Once she enters the US on a K2, she'll have to file for her AoS, her EAD and her AP (just like you!). Once she has her AP she can leave the country without her AoS being considered "abandoned", but she would have to take time off school to do so and she can still have issues on re-entry.
In this instance I would recommend either delaying Uni for her for 1 year while your sort this out and she gets her AoS done, or going the I-130 route.
 
In my opinion, the most logical in this instance is the I-130 route, but a veteran VJ'er may have more input.
 




Thank you so much for the info. I agree with you. The option to take a year out of school wouldn't be good so yes the i130 filed probably in her second year of school is better since it might take about a year I would think by the time 3rd year comes she can probably see if she can do the one year in industry with a US company. Then return back to complete last year of school in the UK. You have been very helpful. I appreciate it thanks. The only other thing to find out. Now is if I am still required to get her medical done even though she won't be takeing on the k2. And since she won't be comeing just yet I would assume she would not need a police cert. what do you think? Hardly seems worth doing all that since she won't be comeing yet.

I don't know much about K2 visas, but if push comes to shove after she graduates, if she wants to immigrate to the US you could always apply for the I-130 for her. The process is a bit longer, but you could always apply for one on her 3rd year at Uni. smile.png Until then she can always come visit for holidays and summer break on the VWP.


Yes that's what we were thinking would be a better solution cos if she took a k2 visa right now she would need to sit in america for a period of time. Not too sure how long that would have to be before she can adjust status. I would rather she finished her degree here in the UK first I just didn't want it to be. Case where we are cutting it fine with the age thing. I guess since i130 allows you to stay in what ever country your at it would be a better option. Do you know anything about adjusting status for me and how that would take? Can I file her i130 once I have my permanent green card? Or do I need to be a citizen first? I tried calling the embassy in the UK today but they really only had the operator who really didn't have a clue so never got very far with the questions. If anyone else knows anything would be great full for the info.

Like you said, I'm hoping they are following some sort of process and now they have gone through the RFEs and started approving it will all be approvals from here on out for my group.  Just have to wait and see now!


Yep positive thoughts.

Hey Nurseling, my group is moving quickly towards either RFE or Approval. Out of the 6 in my group the first three to be changed were all RFE, with two of them being changed on July 25th and then yesterday on the 30th in the morning. 
 
Then yesterday afternoon, one of the last three in my group which includes my case was approved.  So hopefully me and the other one still under initial review will be approved by the end of the week! I have a feeling we'll know something in the next few days :)



See told you it wouldn't be too long. Bet before Friday your approved. Sounds like your group is moving along quick. 3 rfes out of 6 not so bad which means your up for a straight approval . Sounds to me like they already got the rfes out of the way they just working on the approved files with all the stuff intact. Keeping fingers for you. You still going to be able to travel? You away for long? Hope you have all your other papers and forms sorted cos not long now.

That's fantastic! I hope your ready for the NVC/Embassy whirlwind!



Hey D3adc0d3

To be honest all i have been doing so far is downloading DS forms and checked where medical was going to be, found a place to get US passport done. It's not too far from where the medical is going to be done. Ordered my 18 year olds birth certificate. Even though she will not be coming with me just yet they want birth cert of all children. My sons is already a American citizen I gave birth to him last year 2012 so he is good to go with no probs. the dilemma right now is my 18 year old who is going to stay as she is going to university in October to study chemical engineering. It's a 4 year programme so am going to have to phone uk embassy tomorrow to find out if I can still get a k2 visa for her even though she won't be using it right now or if I should just wait to adjust status. I understand k2 is only good for 1 year so kind of weary about that. She will be 21 in 3 years time. I would like her to come join me when she finishes her engineering degree. But the timings a little short before she reaches 21. Am trying to find a solution to this problem. Any ideas about this area of things? Or do I need to call them up and ask them questions.
Lol so much ins and outs to this whole process .

Hey if it helps you mines a EAC13903157xx number you can start checking from there and see if you more 129f applicants this will give you a idea of where you are. 40 and 41 are the ones approved in my group. Hope that helps you a little.

So here's a breakdown of my set so perhaps everyone will have somewhat of a better understanding of what's going on.
 
#24296 - Initial Review, May 17 A#
#24297 - RFE, Initial Evidence, June 27th
#24298 - RFE, Additional Evidence, July 25th
#24299 - Initial Review, May 16 A#
#24300 - RFE, Initial Evidence, July 30th
#24301 - Initial Review, May 16 A#


Like always, I'm not sure if they're working in any order whatsoever, but they're at least doing work on May 9th NOA1!  Hope it helps someone out there. :)










Lol Lux you should know by now there is no order lol. We discussing this just the other day. Nope they are picking up random files. I did tel you 41 got approved before 40 and its just going randomly like that depends on how quick adductors get there piles done and who's file they pick up next. But your group do look promising like they definitely randomly touching them. Pray yours is the next random touch.

#24300 (just before mine) status changed from nothing to RFE.  So that's 3 RFE and 3 still initial review in my group of 6.
 
Oh and I looked at my NOA1 hardcopy again last night and my NOA1 is May 9th, not the 10th.... Still not sure where I got May 10th from.oops8rh.gif


Lol. I made the same mistake. But it was because noa1 was text to us on the 8th whereas the letter said the 7th may. Sounds to me like your going to be up for approval next. Fingers and toes are crossed for you.

NurselingFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-07-30 07:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

Yes we did. My USC fiance had to send away to get his divorce decree as he couldn't locate it at the time of filing. We sent a letter explaining that it had been ordered and it was up to a 6 month wait for it to arrive, and that we were happy to provide a copy if more evidence was required.
We were astounded by the 6 month wait and didn't want to put off filing. At the time CSC had only just begun to speed up it's processes. 
48 days after filing our package, the divorce decree had been located in the court system and and my fiance had it in his hands. 
So now we are just waiting on USCIS to issue us with RFE for it so he can send it to them. We ae hoping that is all we missed. I feel quite confident that should be all we missed. 
I'm trying to stay positive, there's just so many other factors happening in my life that I need to be with my fiance asap, but I wont go into them here. 
The positive outloook in this thread is what keeps me going. I read it everyday and keep up to date. It's good to share in others happiness, if they allow it of course laughing.gif 
 






Oh no. That was unlucky. If you had known it was not going to take too long to get the divorce decree you could have waited a little before sending your forms off. But don't loose hope cos CSC is moving along too. It's. real shame people can't just send them missing items instead of waiting on a rfe you already know the reason for. That system I needs changeling. Essentially it would cut out most of the waiting time. I hope you get a reply from them soon. Are you checking on numbers like the rest of us. Any indication from numbers around you that have either had rfe or approvals as to how long your looking at?

NurselingFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-07-30 07:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers
Ok so am still checking on numbers and noticed that they have not yet touched 5742, 5743 5744, 5745, 5748 and 5746 and 5747 still waiting for someone to approve their rfe. 5749 is not a i129f application . So in the group I was following only two approvals 5740 and 5741 mine and someone else. Come on Vsc continue approving may files. Routing for more may files to be approved today.

Congrats Nurseling. I am so happy for you. You are the glue that hold this group together because you are always here cheering us up and contributing to every discussion. I hope u will still be visiting the group till interview. Congrats to u again.


Hi godsrule thank you for those lovely words. I felt it would help us all to keep the thread running since we are all in this together. Also as I am a fellow countrywoman of Nigeria It pleases me to see other Nigerians here. I have actually lived in the Uk for 30 odd years so essential moving to the US is like starting Again. But I thank god that where the will is strong and his might power is performing his miracles It will take me no time to settle in. I am of course a emergency nurse here in the UK and have also sat the US nursing board NCLeX exam so I have a nurse licence in Georgia finding a job will be easy. It would be nice to keep things going still helping others to keep the faith that their approvals will come soon. It would also be interesting to hear from people leaving their home country and moving to another country what they think the challenges would be e.g work, adapting to new environment , making new friends, establishing a home life etc.

Congrats Nurseling! We are all happy for you. God bless!

We have the same NOA1 date, but I'm with CSC. I think they're both caught up to about the same, though, so it may not be long for us, too. Just found out last night that we won't be able to afford another visit until interview time, so that would be a nice bit of news right now...



Yes Csc was moving real quick before. But I did hear they slowed a little. But have since picked up so you will get your approval soon.

Lets stay positive for us May filers.  As bad as it sounds, it appears that those who applied the fall of 2012, winter of 2013 had it the worse and we're getting worked on sooner. If we get a 3-4 month approval I'll be slightly ok with the unfairness of the system. whistling.gif

My group is 24296, even with your NOA1 being before mine is your case number listed after mine?  Or before.  If after then it just shows that they way they receive and process initial applications needs to be improved..


Yes your right about them needing to improve the way they process. It's even co fusing cos in between the i129f they have a bunch of other applications. Shouldn't they at least seperate them. Sometimes you could search forever looking for other i129f applications. My group is 15740 and there only 9 of us there before it goes to other forms that aren't i129f. And out of the lot of us one approval which I think maybe a expedite not sure though. Then two rfes that don't look like they are going to approve any time soon cos the first rfe sent their reply back since the 11th and still no update on their file. The second rfe has not replied back yet or if they have its not been updated. Amazingly numbers before 15740 and I mean loads are all diffrent applications. How do they keep up with all this? What kind of filling system do they have plus when it comes to adjucating do they mix i129fs with other files in one heap it makes you wonder. No wonder some people get lost in the system and end up waiting for a year or more. God help us all lol.

We're talking about different #'s. :)  The i129fs in my block range from 4296 to 4301.  4297 and 4298 have RFEs with 98 coming a few days ago after showing no case status.  Now 4300 is showing no case status as well. 296, 299 and 301 are still initial review..


Isn't it strange how the number sequence works. You looking at the numbers near yours in the 4296 range and you have a noa of 10th may. I am in looking at the 5742 areas which I have only seen one number approved which was 5741. My noa1 on the letter is 7th may. Yet it sounds like your seeing more approvals in the 4296 areas. This thing don't make sense at all. You would think noa1 would determine the order but it seems not.
