K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2 Now What?

They send a letter to the USC with the new case number and say the case has been sent to the embassy. By the time the letter comes, it will probably already be in London. Here's two threads that will be useful to you for your London specific process. It is different from other consulates.

What to prepare now http://www.visajourn...erview-thread/. Keep reading. It has a lot of information.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2 Now What?

I'm a little confused and could use some help.

My fiancé and I just received our NOA2 last Friday (yay!). But now I'm unsure of what happens next. The hardcopy of our NOA2 was not very helpful. From doing some reading on this site I know that our case is being sent to the NVC. I know that the will give us a new case number and invoice number. How do I know what my new case is? Do they send a letter or do I have to call them everyday? How long can I expect this process to take?

I did call NVC tonight again, have called every day, but still not arrived there yet.  I really hope it arrives by Friday, otherwise I may start to get just a little concerned.  But I won't go into panic mode until next week -- it's still within their 10-15 business day range.

I called yesterday as well, nothing yet. I have to say that the person I talked to could have been a little bit grumpier with me, I wasn't quite buying that he was tired of answering phone calls. *Please read this with the most sarcasm possible. dry.png

I'm thinking I should contact my congressman... 

Six months today, I'm starting to obsessively check the USCIS website and I feel like I am creeping on the mailman

My fiance called USCIS today and talked to a tier two rep that said the are currently working on applications from October 1st. Clearly a lie. We've been seeing MANY November approvals. We've been in contact with a congressman, hopefully his office will help. Fingers crossed.

 

I don't think Vermont is updating their information, when I spoke to a tier two rep two weeks ago they told me the same thing...

I'm starting to think once Vermont updates their processing time table we will start to get a new answer from the reps

I wouldn't have thought it would be much of an issue for the US citizen coming into the UK, more likely the other way around if there is going to be a problem...Besides they can hardly expect couples to not see each other for the whole length of the visa application process!!?... 5 months, 6 days and counting.. ClockWatch2.gif

btw what is the whole 'month 0' nonsense about?

Did USCIS tell you that you would get NOA2 within the next 43 days?

They told me when I phone that we should receive our NOA2 within 43 days, because that was what VSC was reporting as their processing time. And if we hadn't heard anything within that time frame then we should call on the 44th day...

Mailed ours November 13

Cashed our check right away

We've just been told that within the 43 days we should get our NOA2 (yay!)



my fiance is coming to visit today for 16 days!!! just wanted to share my excitement biggrin.png

Are they going to be able to get through customs? When I called the helpline I was told my fiance wouldn't be allowed into the country due to the type of petition we had submitted...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsGetting ready to send in I-130, opinions wanted!

Thanks for replies!

 

I have three wedding photos.  And I didn't know that about sending 2 copies of photos, but I can and I probably will, thanks for advice Blueberry Pancake!

 

6 affidavits, wow, I had the 3 closest friends of ours write their story of us.  One of them even introduced us!  I could stretch it and get 1 or 2 more.  However, several people on VJ that I read who listed their packets had a couple to no affidavits.  I do agree with you the more the merrier!  Thanks for your advice jdba!

Hey everyone,

 

I'm in the same boat as you guys....DS261 approved june 3rd and I had to make the call at 7am this morning to have them tell me it's going to be more waiting.  Although I did manage to have the person on the phone put a request for mine since it has been 35 business day.

Hello everyone!

 

I received my NOA1 10/9/13

 

Here is a question for anyone that might be able to shed some light on the topic.  My case number starts with MSC and I called them yesterday asking them if they know why it's coming up on the 5 month mark and I still have heard nothing.  The women on the phone said that they are working on cases from April 2013.  And I'm thinking, is that it?  So I may have to wait several more months before my case goes to the NVC.  If anyone knows something I'm missing, please share!:)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNeed help with the I-130!

Hi everyone,

 

I'm in the process of trying to get my wife over here from Germany.  We recently married and afterward she went back to Germany to finish college.  However, at the moment I'm stuck on a few questions with the I-130.

My first question is: my wife was here on an internship a few years ago and she received a social security number.  it's not valid now, but should I write it on on the I-130 form?

Another question I have is with question 22 on the I-130:  It stats to complete the question "if" your relative is in the united states, yet on the right side of the question there is space to write the city and country of the consulate where she will apply.  So do I fill in that space?  And if so, where would I find that info?  

And lastly for part C question 2: It wants her address where she was and is currently living?  She hasn't lived with me yet, but will after she is able to come over here.  Would I put her German address?  

 

Thank you so much for any help!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNeed a quick question answered regarding the G-325a

I just thought of another question.  So the original signatures go for the I-130, G325a etc.  What about other documents? Birth certificate, a translated birth certificate?  Can those be copied?

 

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

 

Thanks in advance for any reply.

 

My question for the g-325a is regarding a signature.  Does it have to be an original or can it be a scanned copy of a signature?  Can she sign it then scan me the g-325a form?

 

Thanks!!!
