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

Just an update for me. Filed AOS package on Tuesday and checked the tracking which says it was delivered. Yay. Filed a bit later than I wanted to, we were going to file the day after we got married but we didn't have time to collect the certificate from a different office across town on the day of the wedding (which is a great service if you can pick it up there and then) but had to wait for it to be posted instead. Anyway it got here and I sent in a photocopy (which I'm hoping is ok) and I sent it off the next day. 

 

Hoping this stage goes quickly and smoothly for us all, I am very eager to start working too.

AOS Update
Thought I would let you guys know about our AOS process so far.
We sent our package with the AOS, EAD, and AP documents and electronic notification request forms priority mail on May 2. It was signed for on May 5. On the web site it says you should get a confirmation of receipt within 10 days. Well we just received the e-mails yesterday, May 22.
I guess I was spoiled by the prompt reply I received when I submitted the I-129 package.
We are now waiting for the confirmation to come in the mail.
Best of luck to all.
Cheers!





 

 

I will be filing my AOS package next month (its pretty much ready to go) and this is the thing that bugs me! I'm a naturally impatient person, so the speedy NOA we got for filing the I-129F was a blessing. I'm going to be very impatient for the AOS NOAs because I've seen that they can take their sweet time getting to you.

 

Good luck on the journey, it would be nice if us September filers could all update each other on AOS progress :)

Fantastic news! I knew you wouldn't have any problems. So you know, my fiance's CEAC changed from "Ready" to "Administrative Processing" the day after his interview (20/02) and then to "Issued" yesterday (24/02). It's an odd feeling to have nothing to worry about from USCIS for a few more months. I'm sure we'll all enjoy the break! Again, congratulations!!! 

 

Thank you! That info is quite handy because now I have a rough idea of what happens when. Its still on Ready atm but I will keep an eye out for it. So nice to take a paperwork break lol.

 

 

I have also written an embassy review. Thank you to everyone for the help :)

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

I got my interview date today :)

 

It's Feb 25th which is a bit annoying because our petition expires Feb 22nd so he will have to send me a new notarized letter of intent to marry but oh well, so happy to finally have it scheduled :) My medical results were only logged last Friday so this seems to be quite quick for a London interview to be scheduled already.

 

Woo!

Congratulations to everyone having interviews scheduled and passed and flights being booked!! It's so exciting. Never thought September filers would go through this process so quickly compared to wait times earlier last year.

 

I had my medical exam 2 days ago and I'm waiting for the results to be logged. When the CEAC website updates with those, I will probably call a week or two from then and hopefully have my interview date!

 

Congratulations to everyone in the process so far :)

Yahoo Congrats to you, yeah i had the same experience yesterday with the lady on the phone, she said it will take 46 weeks, i thought its 4 to 6 weeks but she said again 46 weeks and i was shocked and told here are you sure its four six weeks that's like 1 yr!!!

 

Well no need to be bad about it now, cause there was a good news after all smile.png

 

 

46 weeks would be insane! lol.

 

But congratulations on getting your case number! Happy that it has finally happened for you.

 

I hope the rest of your visa journey is smooth sailing after this :)

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

Hello to everyone! 

 

I am new in this forum although I  was following it from the moment I found it in google (a couple of weeks ago). 

 

I am from Madrid and my fiance from Fort Worth. We are very frustrated too because we see how cases from the same day as ours are already in post-decisions and many cases filled much more late than ours already got NOA2 a month ago. This is taking so long and we feel so helpless since there is nothing we can do. We not even knew that I cannot go from Spain to spend the Xmas time with him & family in USA and we were so very excited about that. He went to a lawyer a couple of weeks ago and lawyer said that if I try go to USA they will deny me in customs sending me back to Madrid, but even if they will let me in, inmigration will find me and send me out of the country and will ban me to travel to USA and ban asking for any kind of VISA along the next 10 years. That is so frustrating, they treat people like criminals when the only "crime" is being in love and wanting to spend our first Xmas together. That is so unfair. 

 

We filled the I129F in september, we got the NOA1 the day 23 of september and 17 of october the alien number. No more news from then. This way we won´t be able to spend together no Xmas, no St. Valentine... and we wanted to get married in march the day of our anniversary but all is going so slow that I guess we won´t be able to make true that dream either... and reading the last posts about that after NOA2 things are not esier or faster, that does not cheer up either. I truly cannot understand how living in the computers and internet era all this goes so slow. How can the case last 8 weeks to be sent to the foreign country? Are they sending it in donkeys? 

 

I am sure that if just a single person who made all this laws and burocracy about K1 would have to pass by the same, this would be much different. The problem is that nobody cares about the other persons, they treat us like cases and not like in love couples who cannot wait to get married and start their lifes together.

 

The information the lawyer gave you is untrue. He sounds like he enjoys scaring people, especially with talks of a ban. There is a thread at the top of the main board detailing how you can visit. If you still want to visit over Christmas then please check it out. It basically says you need to provide evidence of strong ties to your country to show you intend to return.

 

I entered the states in October and am leaving in two weeks. The immigration officer did question me for a little while longer than normal, especially when I said I had finished at my job. What he seemed to like though was when I said we were in the middle of applying for a K1 visa and wanted to wait out the process together. I guess it does show intent to immigrate, but through the proper channels which require interviewing in the embassy at home. I took a copy of my NOA1 but didn't show it as he didn't ask for it.

 

I obviously cannot tell you if you will be let in or not, but even if you are sent home direct from the airport it doesn't harm your visa application. If spending Christmas together is important, go for it! For me, I wanted a last Christmas at home as there will be plenty of American Christmases.

 

Good luck! :)

Just when I thought the pace of things was about to pickup and things would start happening, it seems my case is stuck in limbo on someone's desk or in the TSC's mail room waiting for who-knows-what.

 

 

I see you got your NOA2 on the 15th. I received an email 2 weeks after my approval to say it was on its way to NVC. I think 2 weeks to be sent out is an average time frame (excluding the ones who are waiting much longer for unknown reasons), so maybe yours will be sent out at the end of this week. 

 

I got frustrated with mine not being sent because I couldn't understand why someone would want to sit on it in an office. Put it straight in the mail!

Congratulations!!! Looks like we are left behind from TSC sad.png NVC have not received our case until now.

 

 

Oh my goodness, I can't believe you haven't heard about yours yet! I see some of your posts when browsing topics and I always check your signature because I'm anxious for you to get your case number or at least hear is someone has shipped it yet. Have you spoken to anyone at USCIS yet?

 

 

I really hope you get your case number soon, its unfair to keep you waiting. Please post a big topic when you get your number because I'm sure there are many people who are anxious for you too. Good luck :)

Wow. I see you got your NOA2 the same day.

Is this true??

 

if so, CONGRATS!!! star_smile.gif

 

me.....I'm still waiting....for anything....to happen.....ClockWatch2.gif

LOL

 

Yes the approval came through about 4 hours later. Which was very good news :) Hopefully if others got the same alien reg message they get a similar quick approval.

 

Good luck to everyone :)

I checked the uscis online status just now and got very excited to see the case had been touched again (a month from the last touch). It was to update my alien registration number but they already did that last month? A bit confused but mainly irritated that it wasn't NOA2. I got so excited at first lol. So the wait continues...


PalmTreesFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-10-22 17:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFlying to interview and can’t sleep
I know how you feel. Only got 3 hours of sleep the night before my interview. And then, only 3 hours again the night after...fell asleep exhausted....but then woke up thinking about everything to be done next....packing, moving, saying goodbyes, writing my marriage vows, etc., etc.
Deep breathing usually helps...but not when I'm this wound up. Chewing gum seems to help the butterflies in my stomach calm down a bit.

Best of luck. I'm sure everything will work out fine !

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 - SEPTEMBER 2013 FILERS

It took about 2 1/2 hours from check in.  Tanya had a Judicial Ceremony because she wanted to change the spelling of her name from the Ukrainian version to the Russian version. So I'm not sure if the Administrative Ceremonies take more or less time. The check in took about 1 1/2 hours and the actual ceremony took about 1 hour. There was a ROTC color guard from a local high school, then a nice singing of the national anthem from a student of a local college.  The Judge spoke and during his speech said there were 50 applicants that day representing 25 different countries, then a guest Judge spoke. Then the Oath of Renunciation and Allegiance. Then he welcomed all the new U.S. citizens and everyone applauded.  Very nice ceremony. Afterwards they had cookies, fruit and coffee in the waiting room along with a professional photographer because no one is allowed to bring cell phones or cameras into a federal courthouse. (This might not be the case for an administrative ceremony, if it's not in a federal courthouse.)

 

I'm glad this visa journey is over.  It's been said so many times before, but I feel I need to say it again, The guidance, advice and support from everyone here on Visa Journey is something very special. I can't think of a more useful website, and freely given to everyone!  Thanks all!!!

Got a text message that they have scheduled Tanya's oath ceremony and we will get a letter with the date, time and place. She is getting a judicial ceremony. West Palm Beach FL holds them once a month. I hope she is a citizen before the end of the year.

Make sure you bring the items listed on the appointment letter as well as the items on the yellow notice.  For certain bring your Green Card, other photo ID and the appointment letter.


And bring your Passport!

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 - SEPTEMBER 2013 FILERS

Received a text and email today saying Tanya was put into the cue for her oath ceremony and to expect a letter with the date, time and place.  I can almost see the end of this journey!

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 - SEPTEMBER 2013 FILERS

I had received the yellow letter. It's from the field office. Mine had the same items asked for on the interview letter.  They had no interest in it at the check-in desk. They only wanted to see the interview letter.

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 - SEPTEMBER 2013 FILERS

I agree, you cannot use the certificate as a travel document and you can get an expedited passport in a little as a day. 


tom&tanyaMaleUkraine2013-11-15 19:10:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 - SEPTEMBER 2013 FILERS

At what point do they actually take your green card away?  We are trying to figure out our travel plans for January and know it might be in the middle of everything...

 

 

They take the green card at the Oath Ceremony and hand you the certificate of citizenship at that time.

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 - SEPTEMBER 2013 FILERS

Congrats, during interview no papers were asked? like proofs or anything?

We brought divorce certificates from previous marriage, present marriage certificate, my birth certificate, and her birth certificate as was requested in our letter, but they only asked to see her passport, green card and drivers license.

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 - SEPTEMBER 2013 FILERS

We arrived about 15 minutes before our interview time. Tanya was called almost immediately. She came out a few minutes later and said the fingerprint machine was not working and they would call her back in. She asked how long and the guy said " I hope you brought a pillow, because it might take a while.".  About an hour later they called her back in. She was brought to an office. The case worker swore her in and then told her to sit. He started to ask her the civics questions right away. She got the first six correct. She could only remember 4 of the questions he asked. " What is the party of the president right now". "Name the two main political parties in the U.S." What are three of the original States". Who was the first President".  He told her to read: " The United States has 50 States". Then he told her to write: "We have 50 States". Then after the test, he took out a very thick file he had for her. He went over every question on the N-400.  After this he told her congratulations and gave her a form which said she passed. then he told her she was done and she would get a notice in the mail for the oath ceremony.  Because of the fingerprint snafu, it took about 2 hours total.  (BTW, they never did fingerprint her.)

In our preparations we went over her N-400 a few times so she was ready for this part of the interview. There is also a great USCIS video on you tube about the whole interview process. It a simulated interview and was a great help to her.  Good luck everyone!

OK, Tanya passed her interview and test!  Last stop ... Oath.

 


tom&tanyaMaleUkraine2013-11-13 15:35:00

Tanya's Interview is tomorrow morning.  I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Has anyone else who did early walk-in FP besides girimurthy received "in line for interview" notice yet? I've seen on June, July and August topics that they got in-line for interview 2-4 days after FP

Not yet for me.

I know we are all used to "proving" our relationships up to this point. But at this stage of the game the only thing we have to prove is the time in the U.S.A (3 or 5 years depending on the circumstances of our application.) ... and of course passing the citizenship test!  rolleyes.gif

So I don't think there is much to stress about. I just sent what they asked for, no more - no less.  

 

But send what makes you feel comfortable.

I didn't send anything extra. I only sent the items asked for on M-477.  I took the word "OR" to mean exactly that.  I do plan to bring additional items to the interview.

Look at USCIS publication M-477  (document checklist)

It has everything you need.

I just sent my wife's application today!
