K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune and July Filers - NOA2 to NVC

my fiance called USCIS last week to ask if our case has been already transferred to NVC. USCIS told us it will be transferred in two weeks since last week.

i hope that this message from uscis is not scripted... hehe...

we are targeting that by mid-Nov, our case should be already in NVC.


I was told by USCIS that it would take at least 60 days from NOA2 to NVC. Because they have a new shipping contractor, and they have to fill a crate each month for sending.

So on top of all this long waiting for NOA2 and all the new high fees for improving services they also find a new "better" contractor who requires stuff to fill their crates and ships it across USA in 60 days blink.gif Why dont they just ask us to pay 10 dollars more and send each of our petitions separately by US mail as soon as it gets approved? You know these days US mail can handle these things in like 3 days instead of 60 whistling.gif
So now what can we do? Just keep waiting till we receive a letter from NVC that they got it? Or which USCIS number do you people keep calling? unsure.gif

well, we are waiting...and we keep getting touched..

not sure why but..i guess it is okay since we were approved and I got the NOA2 in the mail.



Several of us who recently received their NOA2's got touched on Nov, 1st. Hope this means they mailed off our petitions to NVC. I

Yeah I think most people get at least one touch the day after they get approved. Not sure why. But yeah hopefully they sent us all out to NVC good.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsThe CSC Sweepstakes
Yup biggrin.gif But I´ll also miss my friends and family. It´s lotsa memories and sometimes we tell funny stories from our past or whatever and so it´s like starting so far away from nothing is like building a completely new life like it doesnt matter to anyone new I might meet who I was before ...they just meet me and then wait what I can do or I dunno how to say it....also with my friends we like to sing songs and play games...noone knows my fav cz songs in usa etc. So it´s like now I have a place in life but over there not yet cuz will have to find it again. And reading like some people don´t have a nice friend (xcept their SO ofcourse) even after like 2 years or so doesnt help much. But I´m not all sad just wanted to explain it to u tongue.gif I´m all excited and happy that I go fly really soon and we will finally be together biggrin.gif kicking.gif

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWife arriving in US, but not moving in yet with K3
QUOTE (ronnieshih @ Dec 3 2007, 12:46 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My wife received her K3 VISA back in October from the Montreal US consulate office. We will be taking a vacation in Australia before she moves into US. Her first leg of light to Australia will be a flight from Toronto to Los Angeles, therefore, she'll have to deal with the customs. Does she need to carry the document package she received from Montreal US consulate? This will be her first crossing into US from Canada after she received her K3.

thanks.

Well K3 visa isn´t a Green Card so it shouldn´t really matter if she has it or not for these purposes since this is only a transit. She should use her tourist visa. Though if there are some problems at the border for any kind of a reason it might be useful to have the K3 packet with her. But wouldn´t probably stick it in their face in the first place just not to confuse them.
I am beginning to think I shouldn´t even be answering this since I am K1 and don´t know much about K3. But K1 is a one time visa and if u use it for the entrance you have to do in USA what it´s designed for = get married. You cannot enter twice on K1. So I hope K3 isn´t a one time use visa too, is it? I assume they place the K3 visa in the passport somewhere near the tourist visa so the officer will know about her having it anyways so it might get confusing.
Someone was trying to enter USA on a tourist visa while they already had the K1 but their wedding plans were for later so they didn´t wanna use the K1 and had some troubles at the border trying to explain why they have to enter on tourist visa...
Hm, I think I even got myself confused now lol tongue.gif unsure.gif

This thread belongs in the K3 forum.

There is nothing wrong with the combination of petitions PBILLY filed.

There is no such thing as an I-129F visa. It is a petition. The petition is used for either a fiance or a spouse. To use the I-129F for a spouse, one must first or simultaneously file an I-130 petition. The two petitions gets you on the K3 route.

Cool good.gif Good to know that good.gif

ok, i don´t know that...I don´t know why they would let her here as your fiance while she is your wife...but maybe it works like that...anyone knows? ...but if you are sad that your I-129f fiance visa hasn´t been approved yet then read K1 discussion threads on waiting for an approval...people who filed in May are being approved right now...so if you filed 2 months ago, you will still have to wait till about January 2008 for an approval...depends on how fast it goes...sorry about that...but they should definately do something with your marriage visa application cuz it shouldn´t be taking that long good.gif

those are the forms
and only forms
have done each once
with my present wife

never done before with anyone else
thanks

And why did you decide to apply for a fiance visa? They won´t approve that when you are already married. You have to fight for your marriage visa to be approved. Where is it stuck? In USA or in Cambodgia Embassy?

whats next ?

I am not sure but it seems to me that your are pretty confused about the forms and the types of the visas. You said first you filed for marriage visa after you got married and 2 months ago you filed K3 visa. And now here you are saying first it was I-130 and 2 months ago I-129f. Let me clarify that marriage visa is called K3 and the form is I-130 and fiance visa is called K1 and the form is I-129f. If you don´t tell us what you did when and why, it´s pretty difficult to give you an advice...

Believe me I WANT him to do the interview. However, he still has NOT done his medical yet. Big, long story all to due with his health and a misunderstanding he had about having to have the interview letter. It's just a huge mess. You wouldn't even begin to believe the horrible 'luck' he/we have had this year.


I still hope you can work things out somehow and go for the interview cuz your situation must be complicated enough by now so if there is this chance to do this one thing in November that would help you be together then I wish it will work out for you guys good.gif

CanadaEverything is falling apart completely. I need help, please.
Sorry to hear that rose.gif

Though I either must be missing something or I dunno. Why wouldn´t your fiance go to the interview in November? Is that cuz of the medical condition doesn´t allow it? Cuz if you are at the end of K1 visa journey and you switch to K3 journey instead, the new process will take you so much longer now. People who are getting K3 now have to wait a really long time for everything to go through. Why don´t you get K1 visa in November and get married with that and then you can both be together in USA or Canada?
Wish you both good luck and to get well soon rose.gif

I can´t think of a reason why they would be interested in an engagement ring at POE. I think some people don´t even have/wear an engagement ring prior to marriage and I have seen many people only wearing a wedding band...

yeah, for that I agree. But thank you guys for understanding.

But you haven't answered my question yet, what could be the best answer when the consul ask me why my daughter is not coming with me?

Sorry to say that and I don´t wanna sound harsh but what kind of reasons are these? I don´t quite understand that. You aren´t sure what kind of life you will be facing? Well life with your husband. What kind of life are you facing now? ...Plus you love your husband so much? That´s why you are willing to leave your little kid behind? I just don´t get this sorry.
