K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsfands K-1 case journey, start date 12-09-2013

Hello All,

 

A new anxious I-129F filer joins the crowd.

 

I mailed in the completed I-129F for my fiancee in Pakistan. I think I have done a good job, about 77 pages, all items numbered on cover sheet with few numbered tabs at the bottom for ease of navigation.

 

Postal money order

Cover letter

G-1145

Form FC-029

I-129F

Both G325A with two photos each in separate ziplock bags

naturalization certificate (F & back)...back is just a plane page?

passport, all pages ......petitioner

Birth certificates......... PET.

National Identity card for overseas Pakistanis.......PET.

divorce certificates

birth certificate.....BEN

Passport, international travel records, and NIC card copies...BEN (not all pages of the passport, just the front and the travel records)

A word document explaining the relationship, with colored dated pics from meetings, engagement shopping/events, dress/kfc receipt, boarding passes, meal receipts at the airports, Viber chat log (15 pages)

 

I think that was it, I will check it against the cover letter and make any corrections.

 

Now waiting for NOA-1

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsForms for fiance's 2yr.old daughter??

Hi Nuseling,the information I found and posted regarding a 2yr old being under "derivative status" thus not needing an interview,interview fee or forms plus from what you said about that are both from UK London Embassyrequirments/ procedures,it does state that each embassy can have different requiremnts.My fiancé is Phillipino,the info they send to her does mention a separate visa needing to be issued and paid for for children but I find it hard to believe a 2yr old would need a visa.Are you able to confirm that US visa officials do not require visa,fees or forms for a 2-3yr.old regardless of country of origin/citizenship( Phillipino)?Thanks-


Hi there

Each person needs to pay a visa fee regardless of age. My daughter is 18 if she was coming I would need to pay a visa fee for her. My son however does not need to pay a visa because he is already a American citizen born in AtlAnta Georgia and holds is American passport therefore although his name is on the form. They don't require anything but the declaration that he is one of my children. Regarding the forms for your 2-3 year old there is no additional forms however there is medical fee and visa fee for the child as well. So essentially your fiancée pays for her visa and the child pays for a visa too.

as for the cost I couldn't tell you. You may want to call the embassy and find out how much it cost for the baby.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsForms for fiance's 2yr.old daughter??

After doing further research on this question I have found that children listed on I-129f application are given "derivative status" therefore no interview or fee necessary.We will fill out 156,157 and I-134 forms for her just to be safe/prepared if asked for them at interview but other than that just medical exam is needed from what I've found since original post.Hope this helps others and alleviates concerns(and hope I'm right).Would still appreciate anyone can verify or has any info/advice that's helpful.Thx-

Thanks Nurseling,I was posting before see yours.Appreciate your input.


Your welcome.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsForms for fiance's 2yr.old daughter??

Now that we have the NOA2 and are accumulating documents and filling out I-134 we are not sure exactly what we need for fiance's(beneficiary) daughter who is 2yrs..Does she need a separate I-134 or is putting her name as "accompanying beneficiary"  sufficient and anyother documents or forms?


She will go on a k2 visa. And no there's no additional forms just make sure her name is on your fiancés one. There's a section on the i134 that ask about children. Also one of the DS forms asks. As long as the child's name is down its fine. The baby does need a medical and all her immunisation records at hand when your fiancé goes for her medical she will need to pay additional fee for the baby's medical to be done. The child will not need to be interviewed as she is too young.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDelays in CSCIS uploads to NVC

My fiance and I are in a similar situation, but haven't been waiting so long compared to others (NOA2 8 August, hard copy a few days later).
 
My only question is - does anyone know if getting a hard copy of the NOA2 actually means anything? All we've seen are pictures of the document - my fiance was staying with me here in Scotland until a few days ago, his mother sent us photos of the NOA2 - and it says something about having sent the file to the "listed consulate", and then doesn't list a consulate. The NVC is mentioned, as is Vermont, but the word "London" is conspicuously absent.
 
So, does receipt of the hard copy mean it's been sent to the NVC? Or does it just mean it will be sent to NVC? 




Standard letter they send everyone once approved. It is forwarded to NVC where they will generate a case number for you 2-3 weeks after approval. Then NVC sends to London. Once they send it to London you will get another letter stating they sent it to the embassy in London and London will contact you.

hi guys I just want to know how can I get my NVC case number my NOA2 is Approved last august 16, need some help pls...


You need to call NVC or dos. I would go for dos since holding time is greatly reduced. Dos no is 2026631225 press 1 then press 0.NVC no is 603 334 0700

Good luck

some of us from ATL local office were approved exactly 3 months 2 days ago and we called and called NVC but to no avail , they always say the same thing not until our congresswoman called and keep disturbing USCIS then we realized that it was mistakenly sent to NRC, thats what  they said and it will take 2 weeks to get them back and i was stunned to hear that  a whole batch of approved petitions was mistakenly sent to NRC.... these USCIS officials are doing this deliberately i guess


It's good to see another person approved heading to Atlanta. Mine is at my consulate now.

Generally NVC has a backlog that's basically the bottom line. When a file gets approved it doesn't get sent straight away thereby creating the backlog happening right now.

Yes, but yours was Vermont correct?
 
I was speaking only of California processing which hasn't uploaded many cases since July 29th.




The files are sent n batches. Believe me if you think California has problems try being with Vermont . There many people still struggling to get a case number assigned with Vermont. Trust me your still much better off haveing California. You will get your case number soon.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F
Just to let you know you do need to put your ex wife's name.
You don't need to submit the child's documents with the I-129f. However you do need to include the child's name I. The application. Once your fiancé gets to the interview stage hey will need to see the child's documents then. Please note the child will also need a medical when your fiancé does hers and also the child would need to pay visa fee too. Also proof that father gives permission for the child to go live in america.

Congrats for getting ur NOA2. You will get and email regarding your AOS  so you can send them you tax returns for the last 3 years  and than you will get the immigrant visa fee application. After paying the immigrant visa fees your case will be sent to USCIS  and they will process it and that will take up to 4 weeks to be processed. Once your case is complete than they will schedule interview and your case will be than forwarded to the appropriate embassy.  Wish you good luck !


Please note this person is not adjusting status yet. This is the i129f notice of action 2. They just got approved by USCIS they now need to move on to NVC to get a case number befor their file gets sent to their consulate for further processing medical and interview. The information you gave does not apply to their situation.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnother NOA2? First on July 9th and just received another notice it was approved Sept 3.
That was probably your file finally arriving at NVC. They had most vsc tsc transfers sent to NRC after approvals even though people got messages saying they sent to NVC it was actually sent to NRC hence why your probably getting a second message. Call them up to double check. Or like someone said above its probably a glitch/ error.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVSC TO TSC 7/10 transfers with July 24 NOA2 still waiting to be sent to NVC?
It is strange stat some arrive before others. Our just left NVC yesterday heading to the consulate. When I called dos about the CEAC website info they confirmed and said it takes 3days for it to be electronically sent then a week for it to arrive by mail in London when that happens London will contact me with packet 3.
We were approved 29th July.
I think the problem just exists with the transfers something's not going to well with that system. The transfers don't seem to be working out to great.

Hello!  Yes i was told I was approved at the interview,everything seemed to go smoothly at the interview,i did think it was rather strange to be waiting this long for the visa to come through.


Have you called them to enquire? We're you born in the UK? It might be worth speaking to someone to see whats going on.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAdministrative processing for K1 Visa at NVC?
Ok yes I sent the forms 2nd of may via next day express to Texas and received noa1 7th may. I flew from atlanta back to London that same day. Approval in 2 months 3 weeks. I thought I would have a longer wait but luckily no rfe and I don't know but I feel what might have helped me to get approved quickly was the photocopy of my sons US passport as a extra . I sent it to them with the forms to show he was born in Atlanta Georgia and since been born we have made 3 trips there. That may have helped us a little cant be positive about that but I feel it did.

It is funny how we have the same time line but somewhere along the process the gap widens. I guess it all depends again on who pick up the file and how quickly they are getting through their pile.

Thank god we are close. I feel yours will be over soon. Positive thoughts.

Thank you so much for your prayers, and sending some your way as well. It truly is out of our hands, you are right. No doubts in my mind its going to happen, its more the when that is driving me bonkers. I think the other issue for me is that I had a false impression that once it went to NVC it was already researched and approved and just needed to be shipped off, so it would only be a quick pitstop at NVC, not another hurtle to go through.I'm sure in a few weeks from now I will be smiling and my sweetheart will be in my arms again! :) Thanks again for the positive encouragement.


You are welcome. Stay positive it will soon be over and shipped to your consulate. :)

Don't worry guys I am sure it's just all random pickings kind of like a audit where every few files gets audited. Don't stress. I was under so much stress over my medical today I broke out in a spot. Then when I got there today realised I was worrying over nothing.

I believe it's the case with you guys. Even if they make checks as long as its all legit there won't be a problem.you will be fine just trust in god. And remember at any stage of this process we can go in to AP. we shall breath a sigh of relief when visa is in our hand. My prayers are with all of you.

To be truth to you I don't understand what's going on, but they tell me at NVC that they have the file and they assigned a number and gave it to me. When I call DOS they tell me is at NVC in administrative processing also. We will see... someone told me it takes from 2 to 4 weeks to finish AP over there, but when I call NVC they are clueless. SMH


They don't seem to be sure of the info they are giving you loran. You had better keep calling them to check how the case is going.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAdministrative processing for K1 Visa at NVC?

 
That's true. I know how it is to be stuck at TSC! I just love to call USCIS and they are always reading me the same thing I can read by myself online in their page. And then, when you ask for a Tier2 they either play you saying that there is no such thing as a tier2 or they say that they can not transfer at this moment blah blah blah... I was so happy when they send me that emial/text that they had approved my petition, but then I never got the letter in the mail, and then almost 3 weeks later they sent it over to NVC but took one more week to get there... and I saw people that got there the same day sent out to the embassy and mine a week later still says at NVC and when I call they tell me is in administrative processing and there is no time- frame of when this could be done... what if it is 2 months... I can't do anything for that and that is exactly what frustrates me more. I feel like I can't do anything! Helpless and hopeless


you sure your file is at NVC loran and not NRC. The problem is the transfers files were sent to NRC instead of NVC now they are having to go re- route them out of storage to send to NVC. This all just cos tsc is not too familiar with the procedure. Did they tell you it's with them and that you have gone in to AP? Or they stalling cos of they still trying to find the files in storage?

NVC takes forever to get through when you do get through your on hold for hours. Department is state there is only a two minutes wait if that and they have the same access as NVC infact they are the ones overseeing NVC. And they are lot friendlier. They can give you your case number if it has been logged on by NVC.

Well she missed her intended flight.  NO visa in hand yet.   Thank God we were able to cancel her air ticket. Which costs 1300 dollars ONE WAY.  And get that back in 21 days minus a charge of 75 dollars !
 
At least did not lose the whole ticket.
 
That was with ORbitz.
 
Still counting the days and waiting waiting waiting.  Hey guess what? You are approved but we won't give you the visa !!  Until such time as we feel like it.  
 
That is what it seems to be.
 
 









that was lucky you could do that. Always best to wait till visa is in the hand before booking a ticket. That's a lesson for all of us. Thank you for sharing your experiance.
