K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	VSC transfered April filer! !!!!	It appears to me that they're transferring the bulk of the i129f cases to Texas since Texas is new at processing i129fs.  Which would be good news for everyone.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-07-11 06:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	CSC slow down?	CSC slowdown and VSC speeding up? Hopefully     No in all seriousness, I hope everyone gets approved quickly!   CSC appears to be moving at the same pace (just looking at applications approved on igors list)	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-07-25 12:47:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	USCIS case status not working.	It means that it is in the process of updating, you'll either get a RFE or an Approval in the next few days.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-07-27 14:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	APPROVED! June 10th TSC Transfer NoA1 4/11	Congrats!	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-07-29 11:39:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	HELP MY CASE HAS GONE MISSING	When this happens it means your case is changing status.  You should get either a RFE or Approval.  Two cases in my group of 6 i-129f had this in the past 5 days, they both received RFEs.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-07-31 13:32:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	The case was not found with USCIS	I looked into this message earlier today.  It appears that this happens when they are changing the status of your case.  You should expect a RFE or approval coming up.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-07-23 21:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	K1 approved August 7,2013	Congrats!    You give me some hope that my RFE will be processed quickly as well!  I'm a May 9th NOA1 with RFE mailed out on August 2nd.  Mailing it back in a day or two!	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-08-08 19:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFE sent out on September 3rd. Is this evidence any good?	The boarding passes aren't necessary as the itineraries are sufficient (that's what we sent).  Credit card/bank statements showing purchases made in the area would be helpful as well.   Include photos with place, date and names of both of you written on the back of each photo.   Like TBone said, the RFE will tell you the specifics.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-09-05 09:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Has anybody received the case number for their interview date after no2 approval?	Did you seriously get approved (NOA2) in 15 days??!	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-09-13 14:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Denied K-1 - finally got response - says cash and sexual favors demanded in exchange for immigrant petition	They don't have access to your facebook login, or email login, or anything else.  But if they want to they can google you.  With the amount of visa's being processed there isn't enough time in the world for the DoS to investigate everyone thoroughly.   I agree with an earlier poster, I think your fiance' provided some additional information during the interview that didn't help things at all.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-09-23 15:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Positive storys?????????	Ours has been pretty positive. May 9th NOA1 August 30th NOA Arrived at NVC September 19th In transit to Consulate September 20th Arrived at Consulate and Ready September 23rd   It may be a record for least painful NVC transfer.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-09-23 15:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	CEAC : READY !!!!	You can called the NVC or DoS and ask for the case number.   Then go to:  https://ceac.state.g...er/Status.aspx?   Enter the case number and you can get an update.   DoS Phone: 202-485-7600 NVC Phone: 603-334-0700	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-09-25 16:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	CEAC : READY !!!!	I had some issues with the CEAC this week.. September 19th CEAC said our case was "At NVC" then on the 20th it said "In Transit" and then this Monday the 23rd it said "Ready" so I contacted the Consulate with our case number ect for them to confirm and they said it hadn't arrived.  So it looks like they could be updating before things are actually ready.  But the good thing is that it is at the very least "almost" ready.   Congrats!	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-09-25 13:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Hey	Naples, Italy	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-09-12 20:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Hey	Ok! Congrats!  I was asking because my NOA2 was August 30th, so I'm still waiting.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-09-12 16:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Hey	The notice stating that your i-129f has been approved and forwarded to the NVC or a consulate.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-09-12 15:41:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Hey	When was your NOA2?	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-09-12 15:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Has anyone obtained there K1 Visa in 5 months ?	5 months is possible.   Our NOA1 was May 9th-ish (can't even remember it's been so long) and our interview is October 16th.  We even had a RFE that delayed our NOA2 a month (RFE on Aug 2nd and NOA2 on Aug 30).	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-10-06 14:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	CEAC Status Updated- Again	I emailed the embassy like 2 weeks ago, and they told me that they received my case.   KIDDINGGGG!!!!!!! It depends, you can call the USCIS, and talk with someone... Good luck... Mine took 6 months...    Ask for them to e-mail you packet 3 if you don't already have the packet 3 documents.  Once completed, just inform them that you've completed the necessary steps to schedule the interview.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-10-02 08:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	CEAC Status Updated- Again	CEAC ready since sept 18th... I called DOS yesterday and nothing  (no interview, no packet)  ..    E-mail your consulate, as a "ready" status means that your application should be at the consulate, especially if it's been ready since the 18th.  Call DoS and get the case number, call also NVC if you need to and once you have the case number email the consulate/embassy and give them the case number and ask if they have received it.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-10-01 21:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	CEAC Status Updated- Again	What does the CEAC tell you?  Have you tried contacting the DoS for case number?	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-10-01 16:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	CEAC Status Updated- Again	My case is the same.  Interview is October 16th after it was received on September 26th.  I've been in contacting with the consulate IV department via e-mail and they've been updating me.  Even told me immediately once they had scheduled my interview (which was yesterday, September 30th).   There tends to be a delay in when CEAC updates and when the Consulate has everything ready.  CEAC told me on September 23rd that my file was "Ready" and at the consulate but the consulate didn't have it processed yet so they told me they didn't have it on the 23rd, they contacted me a few days later.   Good luck!	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-10-01 16:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	K1 Visa Journey	Yep, contacting by phone or e-mail is a good way to go for Naples.   They could notify you via e-mail once the Packet 3 is ready to be sent and once your appointment is scheduled.  It's always good to stay on top of things and to be on their minds.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-10-15 13:34:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	The system works great	Same here for us.  May 7th filer (or 9th, can't remember anymore ) and approved October 16th!  Had an RFE as well at the beginning of August for not sending in letters of intent to marry.   It was smooth and fast compared to others but stressful all the same.  Perhaps we simply were lucky, but who really knows.	Lux44	Male	Italy	2013-10-25 10:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	K-1 visa Withdrawn against my will	What an ordeal!  I am glad that you were able to resolve it and it was approved.  Hope everything from here goes much more smoothly!	Sarah&Michel	Female	Cuba	2013-11-04 12:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	CEAC Status Updated- Again	I received and email from nvc on Monday saying my case was complete and that it was at the US Embassy in SAnto Domingo but my CEAC Status Still reads at NVC... Has anyone experienced this any thoughts on what I should do ????	JoseOr NJessica	Female	Dominican Republic	2013-10-01 13:07:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	K1 Visa: the New Electronic processing	Here is a quick write up of what steps I took during my K1 visa journey and how the electronic process has worked for us. Preparing the Petition: I followed to the "T" the K1 guide that is provided by VJ, from the cover letter to every piece of evidence suggested.  I also sent a personal check with my petition, so that I could track the funds being processed. Then I Waited.... : While waiting I prepared my NOA2 packet. DS230, DS156, DS156K, DS157, I-134, Proof of ongoing relationship (Letter of Intent), and printed pictures we took after the petition date.   I told my fiancé that once we got the NOA2 he'd need to go ahead and get his Police cert. and Certificate of No Impediment. ....6 months later. Post  NOA2: Immediately after we received the email saying that our petition was approved, he began to apply for his Police and No Impediment Certificate.  I waited 7 week days and then called DOS (202-663-1225) to obtain our case number. Once we got our case number he set up his medical appointment. He signed and dated the completed DS230 and sent to kingstonIVappointment@state.gov and kingstonIV@state.gov.  We sent it to the KingstonIV on accident but hey, we got our appointment letter in less than 24 work hours!!!  We went onto DHL:  I went online to https://usvisa-info....country_welcome to set up the DHL process and register my fiancé to have his passport returned to him.  You'll need the case #, passport number, TRN, and standard bio information. You'll create an account with this information.  Once the account is set up you'll then have to go to  "Immigrant Visa" and click on the link in the 2nd bullet point and continue on. Remember fee for DHL is now included in $240 embassy fee so you   don't pay anything online. You'll have the option to choose between DHL's Kingston or Montego Bay pick-up points. Once you have completed this step you'll take a screenshot or I just copied the entire page and pasted it into a Word doc and scanned and emailed it to kingstonIVappointment@state.gov and kingstonIV@state.gov. We are now waiting on our interview so we'll keep you posted once we get further than this. Please add if you have additional information ... thanks!! Thanks for posting this. I followed the same steps. The only thing I would add is that my fiancé also had his immunization card reviewed a few weeks before his medical and obtained the necessary shots. The shots were accepted at MoBay hope and helped to save some money	JSC n GOM	Female	Jamaica	2013-08-25 15:58:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	MY BABY'S VISA WAS ISSUED!	Lawd me happy fi you suh til!! Congrats!! He is definitely always on time!	JSC n GOM	Female	Jamaica	2013-08-27 13:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Interview today - Approved!!!!	Thank you to everyone!! We are really excited	JSC n GOM	Female	Jamaica	2013-08-29 10:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Interview today - Approved!!!!	Yay!!! My fiance had his interview today in Jamaica at 8:30am this morning and was approved.  I haven't received the full details as yet but the only questions they asked was how we met, they asked him general information about my daughter and what I do for a living.  They took all the required documents and none of the support to prove on-going relationship (i.e., phone records, pictures etc).  They did also take the DHL screen print.  He was out of there at 11:30am and they told him he should have his visa within 3 weeks (hopefully this is true!!)   Overall, it sounded like it was a smooth process with nothing un-expected but he was adequately prepared for anything.   Now let the AP waiting games begin!  Once I get further info I will also post a review.   God is an awesome, on-time God!!!!	JSC n GOM	Female	Jamaica	2013-08-28 15:32:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	OMG THE BEST NEWS EVER!!!	Thank you to everyone! I must say that Jamaica10 was right, once you take your mind off of it, it comes out of nowhere! I made a decision on Tuesday of this week not to call DOS until next week instead of every few days *somewhat of a stalker maybe lol* and I also have been busy so I haven't been checking the CEAC website so I am happy that I listened to the advise of others on here to keep myself entertained with other things and it def. helped and worked.   And @ JSC and GOM it happened exactly how I was told by someone else so now you what to expect once your fiance's visa is en route to being issued by the embassy. Yea our case was changed to non-immigrant on Aug 28th. I am hoping for some good news within a week or so	JSC n GOM	Female	Jamaica	2013-09-05 17:38:00
