K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat happens to case status when you send in RFE response?

It should say something like "Response Review."

That's a message everyone gets. It's false for K-1 applicants.

Hey guys,
 
Can some of you let me know how long it took for your AP to be approved? I applied for it on Mat 12th when I handed in my AOS package. They received it on the 15th and send me NOA on May 20th.
 
My husband and I are looking to travel to Canada for a mini-reception with my family mid-August and I am starting to go into panic mode.
 
 






Took ours about 76 days.

Hey we live in Bossier too!. We recently submitted our forms, recieved info on EAD nothing on AOS or AP.
 
Were you guys able to apply for State ID or DP yet?



We just applied for his social security number today with his EAD. The DMV said he couldn't get his permit until he had his EAD, so that's our next step. Weird that we live so close! Hope everything is going well.

Got an email yesterday that B's EAD is on it's way. No news about the AP or AOS, expecting us to be an interview waiver case since we've heard nothing after biometrics on May 2.

Approved! ! !
 
Had my interview this morning! I'll post reviews of it all this weekend most likely.


So happy for you! Especially after all the problems you had at the beginning.

B had his AOS biometrics yesterday. Now for more waiting!

Thanks Yanet!  Yes the EAD allows your spouse to work here in the US until the AOS is complete which can be several months. Annie is very anxious to get out of the house and get a job.  The AP is required only if you need to travel out of the country before your status is adjusted.  My son is getting married in Mexico so I want to make sure Annie can travel with me to the wedding.  I hope everything goes quickly for you.


B is driving me nuts because he's so bored! Keeping him entertained is definitely the hardest thing right now.

It only took two days for our CEAC status to change to issued once our creation date was changed! I'm sure you'll have good news soon.

Does anyone know what it means when your case creation date changes? Mine changed from Nov 26th, 2013 to March 19th, 2019.... my case also got updated to READY your case is open.

Should I be concerned or is this a good sign?


Usually when this happens, your visa is about to be issued. Shouldn't take long now!

We are married! Waiting for our official certificate so we can file our AOS package. :)

Thanks so much for the suggestion! 

 

Unfortunately, I've filed a service request, spoke to a Tier 2 representative a week, filed an inquiry with the Ombudsman's Office, and am in the process of engaging my Congressional rep...

 

I can only hold out hope that the latter might yield some speedy results, as all the others have told me the "our file looks like it's on track (no RFE or anything) and I should keep waiting, should be soon", "wait 30 days for outcome of service request", or 45 in the case of the Ombudsman. 

 

You can probably imagine I'm at my wit's end here. Creative suggestions welcome!! 

 

I'm not sure if it would work or how much help it could be, but maybe an Infopass appointment?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2013 Filers

Reality check, please: 

 

Is there ANYONE left on the September 2013 thread that has NOT yet received their NOA2? Have those people received any communication as to whether there is an actual problem with their petition or if it's just a matter of their petition making it to the top of a seemly compleeeeeetely random pile? 

 

I know a lot of people just consult these threads without posting, but if you are in the same boat, I would be incredibly grateful to 1) know that there are others in the same situation 2) hear more about what you've been told vis-a-vis the delay. Please speak up! 

 

Thanks! 

 

Call and have them file a service request. It's been over five months.

Mohamed had his interview today

APPROVED !!! smile.png

They told him to pick up his visa on Monday good.gif

 

Congratulations!

 

More than 2 months since my NOA2 was approved, USCIS has finally mailed it to the NVC. (Or at least they say they have)

 

 

So jealous of those of you who have had your interviews already.

 

Finally. Hopefully things will move fast for you now. You should be able to call sometime next week and get your case number.

I want to echo what PalmTrees said.  When I started this thread, I thought if anyone was through the proces before Feb/ March it would be a miracle.  If we had done things a little differently, Annie would already be here with me.  I hope you all get through the process and are with your loved ones soon.

 

Cheers,

 

Jon

 

We filed with the belief that he probably wouldn't be here until the next September, at the least. And now he'll be here in March. It is overwhelming sometimes how fast it has moved. We've had to change so many of our plans! No complaints, of course. :)

You probably won't ever get anything from the embassy in Manila. You need to fill out your DS-160 and make sure you go in for your medical.

To add on to my previous reply, it seems like the DOS isn't giving out interview information anymore. A few other people have called and gotten the same response. I guess you'll have to wait for your letter.


GaiFemaleUnited Kingdom2014-01-27 23:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2013 Filers

What did your fiance ask? The NVC definitely will not know anything. When I called, I said, "I'm calling to inquire about my interview date. We've received no notification and are afraid our letter has gotten lost in the mail." They gave us our date and time. I suggest calling back and hopefully speaking to a different visa specialist.

 

Our visa was collected by the courier today and will hopefully be delivered tomorrow!

Hi guys, im a September filer too. Im just waiting for my interview in London now. Mymedical and readiness form were done three weeks ago. All forms are completed and im totally ready. Waiting for my interview date is getting me down. Anyone else here from London anr can tell me how long untill they got their appointment after submitting their readiness form???

I miss my fiance :-(


There's a good chance your interview is already scheduled. Have your USC fiancé call the DOS visa unit to inquire. (202) 485-7600, option 1, option 0.

Our status went from Ready to Administrative processing today.  I was hoping for issued...

 

I bet that just means they're getting all your paperwork together and printing the visa! Not long now!

Post Decision Activity

just checked my case status and thats what i got........ 

 

 

On December 3, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

 what should i do now ? wait some more ?

 

 

I would wait another week and then call the NVC/DOS for your case number.


GaiFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-12-04 12:27:00

I'm pretty sure it's only the petitioner.

FinalEmpress, looking at your time line, seems to me I'm taking steps you haven't, I got case number from State Department, and was told its at NVC, thought they was same thing,, WRONG!, Called NVC, NVC hasn't sent it to the Embassy yet, and the lady told me it's in Administration Process, she couldn't elaborate on how long that would take, just said call early next week. She did say they got it on January 17, so here we are almost a week later and it's still there???
Looks like yours didn't go through all that,,, these people have me so confused I swear.
Also the website says more fees and affidavit of support checks did you need to do this before consulate got your petition?

 

Not a November filer, but just wanted to clarify.  The fees and affidavit of support submission at the NVC you saw on the website are only for CR-1/IR-1 filers. K-1 filers do nothing at the NVC. However, yes, some K-1 petitions are randomly pulled for 'Administrative Processing' once they reach the NVC. There's nothing to do, and there's nothing wrong with your file. Just extra security checks. Your petition will be forwarded to your consulate like usual only with a little delay. Hope that helps the confusion.

 

Good luck everyone! This part of the process was the worst for us, but I believe it made our relationship stronger.


GaiFemaleUnited Kingdom2014-01-23 15:43:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAfter the Interview, we need to submit additional documents for them to complete the process of the VISA.

An I-864a has to be filed concurrently with an I-864, it cannot be submitted on it's own and be considered valid.

 

So, you must submit an I-864 for the original sponsor, and then the I-864a for the Qualified Joint Sponsor, or have the Qualified Joint Sponsor submit an I-864.

They said they're filing the I-130.

I don't know what the interview wait time is at Accra, but you're looking at at least a year before your petition is approved and forwarded there. You should try reading the I-130 forums.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWill I have a problem with my K1 if we signed it 4 months ago?

When I submitted my petition in September, my fiance's signature's were all from the beginning of July. I just updated all of my forms with new signatures and included a statement on my cover letter that I was aware of the date difference and was happy to resubmit new documents with more recent signatures if required. We were approved with no RFE.

Not sure since you have a greater time difference, but you could always submit them and hope for the best.
