Anyone got a NVC notification yet? Or that it has been shipped to them? Or will that happen tomorrow because of labor day?

Our noa2 was 22nd but notification was emailed on 25th.

All are waiting on their mail saying its been forwarded to the NVC. Let another waiting period begin! Btw. The checklist says i need 4 passport photos are thse USA sizes or just local sizes?

I assume they're not. NVC verified with me today that Monday is a Holiday for them.

how long did it take for your package to be shipped? Today was 7 days after initial noa2 per 22. Got email notification on monday though.

Regarding the additional info that we will have to get (police report, affidavit if support and job letter)... Do you think we should wait on gathering the additional documents so that they are dated after which ever date the NVC will be using???


I have everything dated on like the 09-14 or something like that. That is well ahead of time. Nothing is printed yet but it shouldnt matter. We just got the noa2 per mail. My fiancee just it to me on Skype. So its only a short while now.

Anyone that got their email this week got a notificiation it was send to nvc? Wonder how long it will take.

Received my police report today as well. Requested that last week. So all I have left is some extra photos for the checklist and the medical stuff that will happen automatically when I call for an appointment the moment I can.

Ha me neither! I always thought they only update the website at night but they updated my status to say it was shipped first thing in the morning. I no longer assume anything! Good luck!


Mine doesnt say its shipped. Mine just says approved right now.

On August 22, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.



dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-08-27 09:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC

For those receiving their NOA2s in the past few weeks, anyone have an update to their post-decision activity from "we have approved this I129F petition..." to "we shipped this approved case to the Department of State..." on the USCIS website yet? 


Will it do that at the same interface from when it went to Post Decision? I think I will call today when my fiancee is working or can only the petitioner call?

Was hoping to wake up to good news :( Nothing.

Hopefully it will come when the week is over. Thats my assumption that they want to push for start of september to have march finished

Got my NOA2 this morning so happy and relieved.

Congrats!

March is flying by so quick and I expected this to happen. I think they wanted to empty the TSC before september.

I'd rather get an RFE, knowing they touched the files, then having to wait another two more months. It won't be pretty but at least it's movement. Some people have been receiving calls in regards to the RFE to cut down on time.

Hi, when did you replied to the RFE? Typically they notify when they get your reply. It's not on your timeline.


My RFE is right there. I got my rfe when sending in the i129F. We missed a signature.

We send our in start of the month but had an rfe so got noa1 end of the month. Hopefully next week or start of september. Then with luck ill be with her in october or start of november before her birthday! Lets hope for all of that.

Yea I saw several more being processed. Thats the second an third week of march. 

 

Week one: 3 till 9

Week two: 10 till 16

Week three: 17 till 23

Week four: 24 till 30

Wow, that was convenient :).  That saved a great deal of time.  Nice to see that type of interaction from TSC.
 

 
I seem to notice most NOA2's come on Monday and Tuesday of each week with a few exceptions of course.
 






That will probably change once jan/feb are done. I noticed they are on last week of feb and first two weeks of march.

I got my approval NOA2 too on August 11th.

 

The message also changed to :

 

On August 15, 2014, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly

 

I guess it will take another 2 weeks give and take for it to be received by NVC and then to my consulate?

Congrats, but this is March not February. :-)

1200 dollars? Are you planning to fly first class? :P
Use skyscanner.nl and you can search by entire month, I looked for Florida for the months October to December and the tickets go as low as 300 euros. They're all with 1 stop, the ones that are direct go over 1000 euros. So unless you are hellbent on not having a layover somewhere, then you shouldn't even come close to 12000 tickets from Amsterdam to Florida.


Its summer time here. I fly to RSW adding more costs. Its not to Orlando or Miami. Right now for oct-nov is 650-753. Plus an extra suitcase, and tramsportation to the airport. My parents wont bring me as its an 8am flight. Im super specific about my flights haha. The 8am flight from AMS to RSW gets me in RSW at 3pm local time.

But the 1200 was when I looked if I left this/next month. RSW is a holiday location for snowbirds so those flights are a bit more.

The cheapest I paid was 550 in may 2013. And have 1200 will leave me extra room.

Thank you! My thoughts exactly! I hope you're right!

 

My mom asked when she can get him for his birthday next month. I said a visa. She got him a visa gift card. I thought it was pretty funny. Can't wait for the day when I say "visa" and am actually talking about a credit card again!

My mom asked me what I wanted for my grad gift. I said a plane ticket ($1200 give or take). My mom looked at me and said: what do you want as a gift? lol

 

I cannot wait just pack everything up and move and be with her!

I know exactly how you feel! I was fine in the beginning but now that it's getting close this whole thing is messing with my concentration. I'm fine when I'm busy but when I have to try to concentrate it doesn't go so well.
 
He encouraged me to run the NY marathon on November 2nd so that's been the goal. Still seems a bit "pie in the sky" but we're optimistic!


Right now school should kee me busy but I cannot motivate myself to rewrite my thesis. So there is that lol.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC
All i hope for is a quick process. If october can be the goal then even better. Although I am a bit worried about failing my studies as I suck at exams for important things. All i have to do is rewrite my paper and defend it. I hope they will give me the benefit of the doubt so I can move away with a degree.
dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-08-14 06:48:00

almost month 5. But the way it looks. Might not even make November :-(
dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-07-28 08:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC

 

I'm not too worried about the police check as I have to get regular police checks for my job. The only thing is, I might go visit him next month as the distance is killing me, so I might do it before I leave in case I get NOA2 when I'm out there. I'm not letting anything delay us!!!

 

Come on, we are absolutely getting approved before November!! I'm expecting NOA2 in early August and hoping for visa in hand early September. Come on positive thinking!!! I'm trying not to be negative these days :)

I hope so. We had a RFE after we send it on the 7th. It got processed completely on the 28th (notification1). So the timeline suggests october. Which means November till I will fly.

 

I am positive. I barely check the website anymore for updates. All I think now is, when it comes, it comes. If not I guess we will have to wait. Soon the 5 months will be up and then we will move from there. Work and school is keeping my mind of things and with the World Cup and the Tour the France starting soon I have a occupied mind! Wish I could visit, but being that I am saving every penny for the AOS and the flight and medical, a visit is not an option right now. It causes us to fight more but we realize quickly its not worth it and then make up :-)

I just checked the FAQs on the acro website and it said: 

How long is my Police Certificate valid for?

There is no set period of time for which the Police Certificate is considered to be valid. The Police Certificate is only truly accurate on the date of issue. Embassies or High Commissions will usually require you to produce a Police Certificate which has been issued less than six (6) months before your visa interview.

 

...so not quite 12 months but actually 6 months. If it only takes 10 days to be produced, I'll get it filled out now and wait until NOA2 notification to send it, just to be safe!

 

I have the form filled out here right on my desk. The moment my fiancee gets the notification 2, I will deliver it and wait 3 days. Yep, three days. I work for the dutch government right now and have requested many of these in the past. It helps knowing your background checks out. In my line of work I cannot even have smudge or I won't get a job. 

 

So for the me the longer it takes, the harder they are looking. The longest I had to wait was 2 weeks and that was the very first time I requested it. The times after it was 1-3 work days. 

 

Anyone else hoping they will get approved before November? I want to be with her for her birthday at least give me that US GOV :-(

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.
