Thailand	December list from US Bangkok Embassy came out today	When did the embassy receive your case or was it still in transit?   When did you send the packet 3?right before Thanksgiving?   Our lawyer sent in our packet 3 last week also?we had NVC number but the status showed in transit since then on the CEAC website.   The "CEAC" website showed in transit for about 1 week, and 11/26 it showed "ready", it was at that point that we sent in package 3.  It was received the next day on 11/27. Good luck.	negative01	Male	Thailand	2013-12-04 08:25:00
Thailand	December list from US Bangkok Embassy came out today	Just got email from embassy.  Interview appt 1/8/14.  The December slots are all filled.  We sent in the package 3, one week ago.	negative01	Male	Thailand	2013-12-03 22:27:00
Thailand	CEAC case status	The 01 and 02 also appeared on the website in my case.  I interacted with the embassy regarding it, and it the 01 is the case associated with your fiancee, and if you don't have any children being considered in the case you must have checked a box on a form that creates an extra case, associated with a possible K3.  If you don't intend to bring any children with her the case is just left sitting, but if you might do that then you have a year to do the follow on paperwork.  Don't worry it won't affect the approval of your K1.	negative01	Male	Thailand	2014-04-10 22:44:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)	Waiting time for the NVC case number	We got our NOA 2 on October 2nd, but hadn't heard anything more. I keep calling both the CSC and NVC, and no one knows where it is, but apparently this is very common. Luckily, I have our congressman's office involved, and they were able to talk to someone at the CSC who said they mailed our approval on Oct. 25th to the NVC, and they will follow up this Friday (2 weeks after the 25th). It is so crazy that it takes so long to send a piece of mail. We are now 8 months out in this entire process, and beyond frustrated. And if it takes 3 months at NVC, like they are predicting, we are going to be well over a year of this ####### before my fiance can even come here...     K1 visa applications just pass through the NVC.  They assign the embassy specific case number and send it on its way. Typically within a couple of days.  I don't know where you are hearing 3 months from?	negative01	Male	Thailand	2013-11-04 18:16:00
USCIS Service Centers	Sequester	http://www.mondaq.co...rnment Services	BobR	Male	Philippines	2013-03-22 13:09:00
USCIS Service Centers	Sequester	Thankfully it's not likely to affect USCIS <<U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which is responsible for adjudicating immigrant and nonimmigrant petitions and applications, funds its services largely through filing fees rather than congressional appropriations. As a result, the likelihood of USCIS processes being impacted by the sequester is less than that of other agencies.>>	BobR	Male	Philippines	2013-03-22 12:52:00
USCIS Service Centers	California USCIS has Stoped????????????/	USCIS updated their site. Processed Visa's still says July 18 but now it's as of Jan 31 2013 instead of December 31 2012. In other words, it appears nothing was processed in January. Edited by BobR, 22 March 2013 - 01:55 PM.	BobR	Male	Philippines	2013-03-22 13:54:00
USCIS Service Centers	California USCIS has Stoped????????????/	Here's one opinion << Since DACA went into effect, it went from "we won't process these petitions until fees collected allow hiring of additional resources" and "These petitions will take 3-6 months to process" to nearly IMMEDIATE approvals (over 100,000 so far), nearly 500,000 applications received, and as many as 600,000 still expected. CSC is practically at a standstill and slowing. Couple that with potential for more chaos from any comprehensive package passing this year and some people are going to be in for a loooooong wait. It is nice to know that these are being prioritized over petitions filed by american CITIZENS, and accelerated beyond capacity of the USCIS to use due diligence, while we are scrutinized under a microscope and made to wait. These folks are already here and have been here for years. God forbid they had to wait another 6 months for a work permit. I'm so pissed right now. If you check the USCIS website for case status, it now says they won't even have new cases online for 30-45 days after receiving them. Just a month ago it was pretty much the same day. They are being overwhelmed. Political pressure has dictated what is to be priority, and it's not us. Good luck to everyone waiting. >> http://www.chinafami...?showtopic=5355	BobR	Male	Philippines	2013-03-22 13:52:00
USCIS Service Centers	Moving target	I'm sure it's the fault of the DACA bill that was passed. The slowest processing center is in Texas.	BobR	Male	Philippines	2013-03-26 21:07:00
USCIS Service Centers	Moving target	I checked again today. It says 10.2 months as of January 31 2013.  processing times.JPG   38.2KB   10 downloads	BobR	Male	Philippines	2013-03-26 20:55:00
USCIS Service Centers	Moving target	I think I was mistaken. I now see 7.9 again.	BobR	Male	Philippines	2013-03-22 19:05:00
USCIS Service Centers	Moving target	It's very frustrating the USCIS national average was 7.9 months yesterday. Today it is 10.2 months. USCIS won't allow inquiries under "normal processing times." but the "normal" time keeps changing. I could have made inquiries in April. Now it looks like I can't until mid June! Even my congressman can't get anything more than "it's within NORMAL processing times." if he inquires for me.	BobR	Male	Philippines	2013-03-22 16:44:00
