Hello everyone! I'm new to this site but I've learned so much already. I was also transferred on Nov 15th. Don't know where yet. Is anyone from or petitioning for someone from Bulgaria? Just curious. Haven't seen anyone. I feel like we're the only ones. Best of luck to everyone!!!

It also brought tears to my eyes and I'm so happy for you.  
 
This thread is such a great one as it's full of good news all the time, CC's, Interviews, and Reunites!
 
I am finally nervous about the upcoming interview, I've just done my online check-in for the flight tomorrow!  I've been so busy with packing the house and all the other details that I just haven't had time to be nervous, but the butterflies have just arrived!  My interview is Tues a.m.
 
Congrats to all of those with great news and good luck to the ones rolling in to the finish line! :luv:







So glad to hear! Good luck on Tuesday! You won't need it though because you got this!! My butterflies were crazy waiting at the airport for him to walk through that door! And then the immigration officer came and got me with a real serious tone and I was thinking OMG! Something is wrong! I didn't expect to have to go in there. I thought he just came out when they were done. They just asked me to sign a paper about the CR-1. Also they asked my name but didn't ask for ID! I thought that was strange. And we hadn't seen each other for over a year and all we wanted to do was hug and kiss and the 3 officers were starring at us which was awkward. So the whole scenario was not what we had imagined but it's ok ....,., we are together. That's all that matters!

I had thought it was going to be like a scene from a movie where we ran towards each other hugging a ns kissing like crazy with a buch of people around saying awwwwwwwww! Lol!!

I wish you the best of luck! Like Dwheels said earlier , the real journey is just beginning. :)

Thanks Dwheels! I had tears in my eyes writing it! Lol!! And you are right, now the REAL journey begins! And so far it's been a wonderful ride! Thanks so much for all your help along the way! You are so awesome to help everyone with this confusing process!!!!!!
Hugs!!!!!!!!!!:)

Hey Guys! I've just spent over an hour catching up on this thread!
Congrats Lucybelle , Sukie, Snipe, Infineeded, Lifeonhold, Bos and all others who have gotten CC's, interview dates, visa approvals or have finally been reunited with their loved ones!!!

Reading all the posts was so exciting!!!!!

I haven't posted since hubby has arrived. It's been 2 weeks now and I still wake up and see him there next to me and think I'm dreaming!

My heart has been so overwhelmed with love and joy I can't even describe in words all the feelings and emotions that are going on. We have been so happy together. It's even better than either one of us had imagined it would be.

We spent our very first holiday together! We went to our city's celebration last night. It was so funny because as soon as we got to the stage where they had the entertainment , the band sang Etta James "At Last" and that's our song!!! We were the only fools slow dancing in the blazing Florida sun! But we didn't care!!! We watched fireworks for the first time together and for lunch we had the all American burgers and dogs in the grill! It was the best day!! I feel more content , happy and loved than I ever have in my whole life!

I can say to everyone still waiting that after 14 months of pure misery, the reward is MORE than worth it! And I would do it all over again if i had to. Love surely does conquer all!

And it all makes you appreciate all things no matter how small. So hang in there! Everyone's time is coming soon. And I wish everyone the kind of happiness that we have now!!

Good luck and I miss you guys! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F package received, but no notice or cashed check yet
She forgot the damn signature on the form... She is mad at her self because she check it 5 times. But she send the wrong copy for it. She send the copy of my package, which I told her no need to sign that as its just for me.

Everything could have been done in three days but instead it took 2 and was send back. She just received the whole thing.

Now we dont know how to send it back. Anyone with advice?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F package received, but no notice or cashed check yet

But I still don't understand why it's taking this long for them to send a notification or anything. It has been signed for when they received it in Texas. 

 

Is it normal it takes this long?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F package received, but no notice or cashed check yet

We send our I-129F to the address on the 4th of march

 

USCIS
Attn: I-129F
2501 South State Highway 121 Business
Suite 400
Lewisville, TX 75067



 

http://www.uscis.gov/i-129f-addresses

 

It has been received on the 7th of march. However we haven't received a notificiation or they haven't cashed the check yet. Did we do something wrong? Or is it sending it to that address a longer route as they have to ship it to Dallas and from Dallas to a different processing location? 

 

My fiancee is slowly panicking and I'm trying to keep her calm.

I'm not sure if it's ok just to write the date on the back of the pictures or should I also write where the picture was taken?

date and location. If theres more than just the two of you wrtie that as well. Ie mom dad, brother, aunt etc. hope this helps. I also suggest using a postit(sticky note) on the back

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow long is taking now to get a fiance visa? in 2012 was like 6 months

Depending on where your fiance(e) lives you can get either California Service Centre(CSC) or Texas Service Centre(TSC). I think the country is split in half (East and West coast). 

The time can also depend on what country your beneficiary is from. Some countries have expediting conditions. That means they will end on top of the pile for quick processing. 

 

CSC can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 5 months (NOA1 -> Interview).

TSC can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 months (NOA1 -> Interview).

 

Hope this gave you a rough guesstimate on how long it will take for you and your fiance(e).

Only pack important things. Leave heavy things behind and use a shipping company if you are taking your other belongings with you. I am leaving everything behind except for my clothes, some electronics and a few books. I will be taking 2 suitcases with me.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsService Requests/Contacting Senators - does it actually help?
You can go by the current trend. Look at nov/dec. they are still processing november.

So the way it looks I wonr be with my fiancee until december. Having gone 13 months without being with her. Its going to be hard.


dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-05-15 09:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhen to send my fiancé financial information
In all fairness the i134 can be send unsigned for your SO. That way he or she can sign it on a specific date. Thats what we did for the forms in the i129F package. I send it a head of time knowing the time frame we would send it.

But it depends if you feel safe doing that or not. It also depends on the Embassy/Consulate.
