K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC
New month. I read in the jan tsc topic that the tsc started on dec 27. Soooo it will be a while for most of us i think. It sucks so much. My fiancee and i have been getting in way more fights lately because of all this. The wait is killing her on the inside.

I think its just people not updating or something. So months have increased by several tickets.

I just hope i get to be with her around oktober. This also means affordable plane tickets.

I think this is mostly due to people getting their NOA2 and getting excited and not updating their timeline. There have been a few NOA2's handed to Nov, Dec, Jan and even a Feb filer (from TSC too!) in the past few days.

That is what I think as well. I there for take these stats I keep with a grain of salt. I also realize its probably 10% of the total monthly petitioners.

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

I'm slightly confused by these stats...what do they mean, exactly? Is tsc moving faster?

Nope. These are outstanding timelines with an NOA1 and no NOA2 at the TSC. This means people are still adding timelines and none are disappearing.

TSC seems so slow and I am afraid I won't be able to get married this year! I don't see any progress at TSC for the last months. That is so unfair!!


I have the same thought. Well the marriage will happen. We will go to city hall first and then at a later date we will do it for the family and friends. The time frame makes it impossible to get all that done. Plus not having a projected date of when you could start planning is painful as well.

A lot of conflicting news has bene floating around. Wish somewhere there was some concrete info regarding the status of everything. 

 

Could also be my nerves speaking. Got my thesis assessment today, pretty freaking nervous.

We are still waiting too. We got the NOA1 March 19th. And I assume I chose the wrong Service Center since California seems much faster now. And it seems to me that it takes more time for European. I mean what kind of reason do they have to leave the country other than being with the fiancé/fianceé and getting married  -_- :clock: Well,good luck to all March filers!!



Sadly we dont get to pick the Service Centre. If we could or I think most of us would have chosen CSC based on what Nov-Feb are experiencing.

I noticed, by tracking the timelines, there is no movement whatsoever. People from Dec-Jan are asking for requests and/or are contacting a senator. This is seems like a dark future ahead and I think it will hopefully result in more news articles to shine light on the situation.

Its super demoralizing to see CSC people waving their short times in our faces with their separate topic. I wish the mods would fix that in this section of the site.

There is one less app on december. So thats on 63. 

 

This waiting is indeed frustrating. I am currently saving everything I don't need to spend. I will leave some behind to pay some bills (phone mostly) the rest I will transfer onto a bank account. Already planning all that stuff. Gotta do something while waiting. And the waiting is causing both our psoriasis to breakout bad...

Our Cases were put on trucks. The trucks headed west on IH-20 & then exited somewhere between Fort Worth & the IH-10/IH-20 junction out in west Texas. The trucks exited so they could chart new roads, even though the applications had no reason to be put on these trucks. But since they're on them, they're along for the long road to chart new roads. No one knows when the trucks will reappear, but when they do, they will be heading back to the TSC to be processed.

Thats brilliant. 

 

My fiancee and I are one of the latest. We were supposed to file in February, but she didn't have money. Eventually I had to transfer her money through a friend of hers since she doesnt have paypal. Then we forgot to sign the I-129F (she missed it between all the files) and so we ended up on 28th of march

I have noticed the Igor's list hasn't moved at all. 

 

March went from 113 people to 117 over a few days. December is still the same. November has 23 people left on the list (usual amount based on previous months). Beside march, all the lists are increasing in numbers I think because people are using VJ's timeline. 

 

It is so hard to stay positive, but being from a country with good standing in the USA and financially stable I'll end up being one of the last ones I guess.

NOA1 March 5th at the Trek Less * Service Center :)  ...I mean Texas

 

* - Trek Less "Traveled" ...in other words, we must be taking the scenic route.....especially those from 2013

The scenic route, I like that haha

Applications from the Philippines are expedited, you got approved in 43 days when the rest of us have to wait around 5 months. Not exactly relevant you posting in this thread really. Not trying to offend you but I'm sure this thread was started because us at TSC who aren't being expedited don't want to become more depressed seeing how fast you got approved. Perhaps just the regular March 2014 thread for you?! 
I know I sound mean but that post angered me slightly. 


I agree though. It sounds rude but its the truth. It depresses a lot of us. I meant this to be for us who the "unlucky" ones.

I dont want to offend anyone (even though by saying that I probably did).

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC
With a lot of TSC topics forming and the march section with some CSC providing false hope for us TSC filers i figure lets make one.

That way we can keep a trend and keep it clean.

Right now last update was 28th. So i could even be considered a April filer. Its frustrating for my fiancee and I. She is taking the whole wait very hard. Normally I would be visiting her around this time so its depressing for her.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDates didnt fit during printing a digit fell off, is this a problem?

Its okay. We consultant a family lawyer. He said edit the date and rescan them. We hadn't send the package out yet. We are finalizing it and then sending it in on the 15th of February.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDates didnt fit during printing a digit fell off, is this a problem?

During printing and completing the package we noticed the 4 on 2014 fell off.

So my fiancee wrote the 4 manually on the documents.

 

Is this an issue? Or do we have to reprint every piece with a date on it?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa denied at Mumbai, India consulate (merged)

India is one of the countries where getting a visa is nearly impossible. The K1 is hard (I had a friend have his declined as well even though they had more than enough evidence) and even visitor visas are hard to come by from there. 

 

I am sorry to hear, but I would suggest what others said already.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview part - Proof of Visa Payment (euro)

I have been reading up on the interview part of the visa so that I can write down all the involved costs. 

 

And i saw that you need a Proof of Visa Payment. How do you do this? Or will they explain that when you get it all in the mail at that stage?


dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-01-17 08:12:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Proof: Is there such a thing as too much?

For timeline I used bullet points. Starting from when we met, when started dating and visits. Then I wrote down see attachment x for visit 1, 2, 3 etc. 

 

As long as you are from a country who are part of the US Waiver program you have nothing to really worry about. And the petitioner or beneficiary has no priors you should be fine. 

Some countries like Nigeria and India may find it more difficult as those are some countries with a "bad" reputation towards the USA. 

 

Bad reputation in this case may be, low incomes countries, countries known for dubious acts, poor human right systems etc.

I am prepping the I-134 ahead of time. Since my fiancee works part-time her mom will co-sponsor. Does my mother-in-law need to fill in the g-325a as well? Or is just the I-134 enough? And does that require a birth cert on top of it?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F form photos

You can scan them, cut them at the correct form. I send them to my fiancee. Took 9 days and 1 international stamp. It allowed me to write a cute note along with it. Giving me some future husband points. 

 

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE POINTS PEOPLE! lol. I am losing it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresImmunizations

Its aged based, but also keep in mind if he works i.e. in a lab (not saying he does) that he needs his Hep A+B shots. And those shots are expensive.

 

If you haven't called his high school or elementry school (assuming they keep the records) try doing that as well. It will save you a lot of money. Getting a shot from the embassy selected doctor is quiet expensive. Your normal doctor could cover it (or up to 80% is the case in the netherlands).

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGot RFE in mail but no online case status update

The way how we met from start to finish for me was in bullet points. People on here said it looked clean, structured and well written. It gave a great overview of how we and when we met till my last visit in November. The evidence of ongoing relationship is images from Skype and Whatapp, if more info is required, we can provide email correspondence between her family and me as well as birthday cards from and to bothsides of our families. 

 

Every tiny detail in that aspect counts I guess. We used 6 photos, 3 screenshots from skype, 3 screenshots from whatapp. On the back of the photos we wrote the date and location.

According to the email i need to fill in the the attached ds 3032 form to appoint the agent. I dont really understand it. When i read on nvc website, they are talking about paperless system where we can send email to communicate with them.Is that mean i can send them the email to appoint my agent . Or do I need to use the conventional way: fill in form and send it by post to nvc? If that case, Can i use hand written to fill in the form or i need to type it? Please help.thanks.
