K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsContacted my representative's office about late NOA2
I finally heard from my congressman's rep today. He was actually very nice. He sent me the release, and I will sign and send it right away. I asked him if he has heard from others, and he said that there has been quite an increase in constituent complaints about the immigration process, particularly the CSC and their lack of timely processing. I don't know if this will do any good in my case...I'm an October filer. Maybe this increase in complaints will light a fire under someone.

Time will tell.

I'm unsure. For sure the second answer I got was way more detailled and it took me half a day to get it. Maybe because I used my work email which ends with .gov ...


Can I borrow your .gov for a day or 2?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsrecent approvals

 

It can take at least a week or two for the NVC to receive your case.  Start calling them anytime.  Call them every day until they give you your MNL case number.  

 

Once you get your MNL case number, you can get rolling on paying the visa application fee at BPI, scheduling the interview appointment, and completing the medical.

 

I called today for the 1st time.  They said it takes 15 business days to get there.  I'll call again later this week.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsrecent approvals

With the slew of recent approvals, has there been anyone who has received their NVC case number yet?  I was approved about a week ago.  Should I start calling them, maybe this Friday or so? 

 

I'm excited beyond belief!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsanyone got their case number in nvc after noa2

I'm in the same leaky boat.  NOA2 received April 24th...as of today, (May 6,) still no NVC case number.  Called every day since April 26th.  Others who have gotten NOA2 near my date already have NVC case number.  Guess it was my turn to fall through the cracks.


Ronn63MalePhilippines2013-05-06 09:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnother step forward

Got my MNL number from NVC today.  Along with being extremely happy, I still pray for all of the filers still waiting!!  Your day will come!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSo, wager a guess as to what date CSC is going to claim they are working on?

One thing I did notice...they finally fixed the bar graphs on the processing times, so the 5.5 month bar is now shorter than the 7.9 month national average bar.

But no updated data as of yet.


Yeah...the bar is accurate as far as scale goes. The rest still sucks though. ARRRRRRGH!!!!

They haven't done it yet.


Actually, they had done it. The maintenance was scheduled for 10AM to 2PM EST. They're done, and nothing was updated. Our tax dollars at work.

There is no evidence that it will be updated on any given day. If you look back at the history, they are random dates. It could come tomorrow, next week, or the end of the month

Hmmm, that wasn't one of my poll options (unchanged really meant the chart is updated, but they still have July 18)...I'll try to add that option to the poll.

Eh, cant edit the poll now...



If it's possible for the CSC to go back in time, they will.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC letter

Hi,  we got the NOA2 approval on the 26th,  got the MNL from NVC by phoning on the 6th,   and then received the NVC letter on the 14th - the same day as my fiancee's medical.
 
At the medical the guard was quite insistant that he needed the NVC letter despite my fiancee having the MNL case number on the medical so that he could verify it,  but my fiancee did not have the letter of course 'cos i had only just received it.  In the end he relented and let her proceed,  but for the people saying you do not need it i'd just advise that it will be easier and more certain if you do have the letter.
 
When she left at day 2 of the medical they reminded her to get a copy of the letter for the embassy interview - they told her the original is not necessary.
 
That was last week....
 
Right now she's at the embassy for the interview!  I hope we find out today about approval....Wish us luck and send a prayer please smile.png
 









Prayers all around for the both of you!! Let us know what happened!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC letter
Quck question: How long to receive the NVC letter with the MNL number? My fiance will be doing the medical on or around June 4th, and I want to make sure she has everything she needs.

If I haven't received it by Monday I'll start calling. I received the MNL number over the phone on or around May 5th.

Thank you in advance.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsQuestions about Interview with the USC
I just attended the interview with my fiance last Tuesday. We were not seperated for any of the process. The Filino Consul will ask your faince questions, as well as the US consul. I was engaged for some clarification in both instances. It was a VERY painless process.

Ronn63MalePhilippines2013-06-28 07:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI GOT APPROVED!!! OMG SO WHAT'S NEXT LOL

The petition is good for 4 months.  That means you have that long to get interviewed.  Once the interview is done and approved, that starts another clock.  6 months to use the visa.  Once you enter the country, that starts of course another clock.  90 days to get married!! 

 

My girl arrives here next Saturday!!!  The last clock starts!!!

USCIS Service CentersWhen will USCIS update processing time?

Just wondering when USCIS will update the processing time again? By looking back on the reports, it could be any time on the month. Sometimes they update in the beginning of the month, other times at the end. What's your guess? And will we get a nice surprise this time from CSC??


IMHO, they will not update their timeline. Here's why: They have been working on petitions in a spotty fashioned dated after July 18th. Some Sept and August or late July. If they don't update the timeline, then the rest of us, when we are past what we think is reasonable, won't get past a teir 1 rep when we call, because we are 'still within the timeframe." If they moved it up to say the middle of August, then all those August filers still waiting could file for a service request. That's me though. I could be wrong.
Ronn63MalePhilippines2013-03-31 18:03:00
USCIS Service CentersWhat if we...

RFE's are a result of errors and omissions during the submission of the case made by the people submitting the documents. USCIS reviews whatever is submitted and can not finish the case if the docs aren't complete. So those countless stories are created by the countless people that submitted incomplete documents. That of course causes addition time to be needed on those cases which causes set backs in the other cases.


You missed the point. I'm saying that RFE's aren't the cause of USCIS's delays. More often than not, RFE's aren't issued until someone looks the case, which, in some cases are beyond 8 months. I'm over 6 months now. They haven't touched my case since October 4th. If they want more evidence from me, I won't hear about it until they look at my case.
