K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCustoms expierence sending ring for K-1

Customs is very strict with these kind of things. 

 

I sent our documents through my work's warehouse shipping department and they kept stressing to make sure that only documents for immigration papers was in the box or I'd have to deal with a ton of issues with my package clearing customs. Our warehouse ships a lot of international packages and has had experiences with all types of customs issues. They mentioned even if i was sending manuals for resale (just papers) there would be problems with customs. Our package didn't get opened though, i sent it through a box and had it security sealed with a special security tape. I guess when xrayed and an object is seen with with papers they'll open it. We also used fedex.

 

Have you tried calling fedex? Maybe they can waive all the fees from the second set of charges. They are usually nice to deal with, well at least easier than UPS. Our fedex agent comes here twice a month and I can try to find out what she would recommend for the next step.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFrustrated with USCIS - NOA2 approved but not forwarded yet.

 

 

Awesome!  Happy for you ! dancin5hr.gif

 

What was the date of your NOA2 approval?  

 

And H&J, yes, Dept of State = NVC.  You got your NOA2 11 days before us, but some people who got theirs 25 & 26 already got their case # so it seems a little random indeed!!  Will continue to update you guys with anything.... if you are the petitioner, did you already mail the post-NOA2 docs to your fiancé?  That's what I took care of yesterday (as well as a sweet 1-year Anniversary card!)

 

lol, i sent mine the day after NOA2 email. I have a bit of OCD and BPD.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFrustrated with USCIS - NOA2 approved but not forwarded yet.

We didn't get a notification besides the NOA1 and NOA2 Text/email. I think some people get an update and some don't. It's weird that we got a case # at 11am but not at 6:30am, so I'm sure they just finished today. The DoS even said in my 6am call that USCIS still has not shipped it to the NVC but 5 hours later they have a case #. Go figure, this journey has been crazy.

Approved NOA2 July 30th, I'm in Cali, called this am at 6:30am and still no case. Decided to call again at 11:24am and got a case # now. Thanks!!

 

What's different from this last call was they actually asked for Petitioner/Befenficiary's name and bday. They never asked that from my previous 56 calls.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview before Embassy receives file?

Thanks!

 

Good luck to you too as well. Have you tried tracking your Files using the DHL refrence method? We're really hoping she gets her Visa before Sept 8th, my parents are heading down here and they all want to be on the same flight. My parents would be able to help her out a lot since they are from here. 

 

We also need CFO sticker still. Ugh

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview before Embassy receives file?

Thank you very much for the info.

 

Ok, i guess we'll take a chance. She just lives in Pasay City and works in Ecomm building next to MOA. So it's pretty near. We're in a hurry because my parents are booked to go to the US on Sept 8. They retired in the Philippines and they all want to be together on the same flight. Lol, my mom and fiancee were stranded for 3 days in a hotel across St. Luke's because of the flood.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview before Embassy receives file?

Had a question:

 

We received our case Manila case # on the Aug 15th and it was shipped out that same day as well. As soon as getting our case # my fiancee also paid the visa fee at BPI. I scheduled our interview online for Aug 26th and she passed her medical on Aug 20th.

 

When tracking our file with DHL express, I still see it with them because of the flood. I also see the CEAC website showing our case is in transit.

 

My question is: what happens when she goes to her interview on Monday morning and the case file isn't there yet. I already sent her all my paperwork 3 weeks ago and we have everything we need for the interview. I'm just curious would they turn her away or do they already have an electronic copy? Is the case # generated with the beneficiary's embassy? Would they still interview her and then go into AP until they received and looked over her case files?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

My Fiancee's interview was for Monday the 26th at Manila Embassy, but their are protesters doing a protest. US Embassy decided to stay closed for normal businesses. Her and my mom are already at a hotel near the embassy. Why??

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

How did you run a report? Did you just manual search one by one and write down the results? Thanks. I put 7 different cases (i129f) close to mine on my Android app status check with notification alerts. 2 days prior Alien Registration # change  got a an approval on Thursday. I got so excited but then remembered dates don't really mean anything. :(

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

CSC got me all excited last month when they were approving left and right. I'm a March filer and don't mind if they finish up the Jan/Feb filers first. Just wish they would keep consistent with their approval rates. Got me so excited and was even trying to figure out if I would let my Fiancee know at work or not. Now CSC has slowed down and got my hopes down again. Damn this emotional roller coaster. I think I am the most impatient person in the planet with anxiety issues and this has to be one of the hardest moments in my life. Right next to a piano recital thing I had to do when I was 7. Eww, scary.

 

Good luck everyone.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril Filers 2013 K1

I know not to get my hopes up as I think this is the new standard. My case has been updated: "On April 11, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)." I have read a bunch of posts to see if this is good news or not. And the answers are about 80% this is standard and the other 20% say I could be getting an NOA2 soon. Please let me know if my fellow April filers received this notice.



I received that same message last night at around 9pm pst. I was on Skype with my fiancee and we got too excited. Not really sure what it means but at least we know our files are alive and it's being touched.

Hi! Thanks for the positive response. You and your girl are so adorbss.. Just had to. Haha! Anyway, I agree with you and I definitely know how you feel. My fiance and I skype each other everyday, even while we sleep. :) Did you file your petition yet? Is there any specific address that we need to send the I-129F? :)



Thanks! Yes, I did, I got back to Cali from visiting her on March 23rd 2013, picked up a new birth certificate on March 25th and sent off the petition on the 26th. Last Tuesday with express mail. They received it on Wednesday and I received the NOA1 yesterday. USCIS has already deposited my check as well. I already started reading all about this k1 stuff when we started liking each other just, to make sure something was possible in the future. I'm in southern cali and if your fiance needs some guidance have him email or call me. I wouldn't mind helping. Before this girl, I dated an immigration attorney and we decided to stay friends after. So she's pretty much a big help as well. I never knew what an immigration attorney did, so I always teased her before and now I am in this situation. How ironic!

We're in the same boat as you, but it seems like you are going the right way.

We met online and in a couple of months I decided to visit her. Met her once, but we knew we really liked each other before I even went to the Philippines. I didn't go there to confirm our feelings, I did it to fulfill the requirements of the Fiance Visa. We have a real relationship from the start proven to us by our hours of long conversations through Skype, I'm talking about 3-5 hours daily for months. Also our messages throughout the day. Don't need the multiple visits, all we know is we want to grow old together. Meet once, do your petition (measure twice, cut once on the i-129f) and send it off to the Texas address.
