K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMovement to Expedite VSC K-1s

Your Embassy might be slow and we all know why. Majority of other embassies are quick and painless after they get the packet from the NVC.

you think so?
there are about 195 countries in the world,USCIS can expedite cases from all those countries,HOWEVER when it comes down to the embassy,unfortunately the expediting just because youre from an specific country no longer works.
USCIS is actually the easiest part of this process because there is nothing you can do but waiting.
i really hope YOUR case goes through quickly,just because you have earned it,but not every embassy lives up to the standards.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnyone else getting realllyyy ticked off?

Ive noticed the same things as many of you, the fights start to mount from NOTHING, you get on eachtoher for NOTHING, this process has made us both ugly people at times which we are really not.

Its not the wait honestly, its what it does to your relationship that is most frustrating. We are human, we have emotions needs, this process makes you cold, you have to be cold or else you will go crazy if you let your emotions out, and honestly emotions arent meant to be kept in, becasue that usually leads to a big explosion.

I dont know, there are some things in this country and system I will never understand I guess. There are so many things that can be done overnight or even in the span of 2 seconds but something that is seemingly very important to our human side takes what a year to finish?

They seemed to be pretty quick about cashing a check though. Thats how everything in the country works, they can charge a card in 2 seconds but good luck getting w/e it is they charged you for, but when you owe money to someone they are right on your door step. What if everyone had the same time frame as USCIS? What if I pay my mortgage 40% later then expexted? Ill get a bunch of fees and phone calls and threats. Its ok when the goverment or a corporation does it but regular people we have to be a 100% on point or else we get punished. Why cant I charge USCIS a late fee?

you know what kept us going as a couple?the fact that they cant slack off forever,they eventually have to stop being ####### and get back to work.

what can you do tho?at first i got so pissed when people told me this,but lets face it,the government only cares about peoples opinion when they panic or get really angry.the truth is NO ONE who is not going through this process cares about immigration system.to an average ignorant american every mexican is coming to steal their job,every middle eastern is a terrorist trying to set foot on american soil and blow a national building up,every young pinay who gets engaged to an older man is a sex slave and every african is looking for a meal ticket.its harsh,its sad,but its the truth.the ignorant majority rules over the aware and open minded minority.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsExpedite Request

I don't have the authority - nor wish to - be the decision maker on expedites. I'll clarify on what you thought I said - I personally would think everyone's loved one is "worthy" of an expedite - but it is not the individual yet the circumstances which are the criteria.

My mother is stuck in Japan right now, thankfully she is safe. Her and I both would prefer emergency efforts be devoted to helping those who truly need it rather than getting her back to the States merely because she is an American citizen or the loved one of American citizens. I hope you have a better understanding now of where I am coming from. And no, I actually would not put in an expedite request, nor would my love expect me to.

with the second explosion,you cant HONESTLY say you think your mother is safe.your mother is a US citizen,its her right to get back to the states,if you dont feel its necessary for your mother to get away from a place with chances of earthquake and tsunami,thats a different story.you have zero right to say shame on op.if its an individual situation,keep your individual opinion to yourself because you dont know where exactly OP's loved one is or how he feels or what he thinks.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! YOU CAN SHOUT?! :P

(All teasing aside) I don't believe saying whether or not you are of the opinion that the OP requesting an expedite is 'selfish or not' is an abuse of freedom of speech in any way. I don't see how that is even close.

People voice opinions all the time. It's not abuse.

lets go over the situation together shall we?there has been an 8.9 earth quake in japan,two nuclear melt downs,a tsunami,and people are sitting here saying shame on the OP for trying to get his loved one out of there asap.japan might not be a third world country but a disaster can happen anyone anywhere in the world.thats what pisses me off beyond limits,how can you say shame on someone who has someone in the middle of this catastrophe when in fact you would do the same ( you been all the nay sayers and judgers )?what you think his fiancee would think if he sat there and did nothing?lets be logical here.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsExpedite Request

agree with KiwiBird, as OP came and asked about the possibility expedite be granted even though the beneficiary wasnt directly affected. Obviously there were different opinions, much expected. Cause people feel differently towards other people tragedy, reasonable/unreasonable expedites or simply on different stages of journey thus very subjective in their speech. No need for some people to shout in to face. :hehe:
Watching situation longer I would suggest to people with japanese beneficiares who just filed to try get expedites, as after natural disaster there is going to be humanitarian catastrophe with not enough fresh water and food. But not sure whether people waiting already 6 months will benefit and not be delayed with taking ths route.

i didnt know you can shout when typing :no:

The poster you're are replying to did not claim they had the authority to decide this.

Everyone online, however, has the right and authority to form their own opinions. On this forum, they can voice them, too.

abusing freedom of speech is not something to be taken slightly,specially in a situation as serious as this.
the second meltdown going on as im sure everyone knows.i honestly dont get when else an expedite would come in handy.
and like someone else mentioned requesting an expedite,just like putting in a service request is every petitioners right,no one other than USCIS should or has the authority to judge or decide about that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsExpedite Request

So, why are you trying to expedite? There undoubtedly are many individuals who have been severely effected from this catastrophe who are alsowaiting on the USCIS, and you are going to try and jump on the bandwagon? *shakes head* My heart goes out to all those who have been effected - losing homes, loved ones, and life as they previously knew it, in Japan and beyond.

I'm not all fluffy and going to tell you good luck like others. This seems selfish to me and you are seeking to utilize the misfortune of others to your own benefit. Requesting an expedite due to the earthquake is completely different from your having to wait 6+ months. I do hope you get your NOA2 soon as you have clearly waited your turn and been patient for so long, but really frown upon such an expedite request.

you know what pisses me off?you or people like you who think you have the authority to decide whether or not one's loved one is worthy of an expedite.
as far as i can tell youre not from japan,you dont have any one in japan or any of the effect countries so you wouldnt know how extreme the situation is or can be.there is a nuclear catastrophe going on in japan and its putting their entire country in a horrible situation and YOU think his expedite should be frowned upon?how come USCIS expedited THE ENTIRE country of haiti's petitions when only specific regions were damaged?
DAMN the nerve of some people,you would have done the same thing if you were in his shoes,dont feel all high and mighty just because 10 people agreed with you

LoriT is partially correct in the lashing out part and doing things you normally wouldn't do when you are severely hurt. Age has 0 factor into it as rage doesn't discriminate on age.

Don't like him or his posts? Well, quit posting in his topics or anything regarding him and put him on block. If you don't do any of those then you yourself are not doing everything you can do to 'get away' from him and you have no-one to blame but yourself. You speak of self control, yet seem to have none when it comes to posting in his threads or about him, ironic.

i am entitled to my opinion as much as he is,and it has got nothing to do with you,i have self control,where have you seen me bashing bitchy members and the ones who think can control others?
im not violating ONE term in my posts,it is what is,take it or leave it.

When you are hurt, you vent. Some things you mean, others you don't. You want to lash out at the one who hurt you. Al's posts are venting. I'm sure you or anyone else would do the same if your heart was broken. He had the dream of a Russian wife, so what. We all have our dreams and ideals. His didn't work this time. It doesn't mean it won't in the future. If he has a love for Russian woman and the Russian culture, let him be. My fiance is English. And his accent curls my toes every single time I hear it. Would I love him if he wasn't English? Of course. Did I chose to fall in love with someone 4,000 miles away and thousands of dollars to be with me? No. It is what it is. Just let him vent.

dont give me that #######,its not an excuse,he is 52,53 years old if he cant control himself and his emotions regarding a bad or "wrong" relationship,then he might as well go as his mother wanted and live a single life as long as he is alive.self control is the key.when you vent,or do productive and logical vents,you dont bash the other person,you say it wasnt meant to be.

i am going through exactly same thing and i blame the wait for NOA2 for the relationship bumps.


blame no one but your own poor choices.every single person who is adjusting status from k-1 has gone through the wait and obviously they have all survived.
i honestly can see what part is Al's fault .he refuses to take responsibility,he talked so much smack in such rage that the poor woman got scared.is the country really that bad?is this guy always this angry about everything?
if she isnt a scam-er and has some common sense she saw those issues.did Al deserve this?no,no one deserves to have their hearts broken,but he needs to learn his lesson.his " one " might not necessarily be a russian woman like he " dreamed ".i think its stupid to go after one particular race,just because you find them exotic.

sorry roya joon for taking forever to respond,been kinda busy being happy :blush: . what AP is,is just a final stage of background checks. it means you are approved,everything is right,they just want to double check and at times put you through hell to make sure your relationship is legit.
i dont have the visa at hand,but my 221G has nothing marked,which means there is nothing lacking and everything is in place.sometimes they just need more time.
it can take anywhere from a couple of days to months.i knew a girl who got told she was on AP,came back home and four days later saw her name on the website,so its really a luck thing.
im just so fudging happy i got done with the interview itself.
my interview was odd,she asked me where we met,which chat room,how we met,who the mutual friend was,how many flights he took to get to turkey,but i knew all that and she didnt ask me in a rude manner,so it felt like explaining my relationship to a friend

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC as bad as USCIS

The guides for being proactive and getting through the NVC stage all mention that it takes just a few days from USCIS NOA2 to NVC receive. That does not appear to be the case currently so it is good that someone is pointing that out so that people can set expectations. I'm sorry you had to wait seven months at USCIS but that has nothing to do with NVC processing slowing down. What would you have them do? Hold all the applications until they are seven months old so that it feels more fair?

an NVC AP takes about 2 weeks,when in fact USCIS often requests more time to do even more background checks on some beneficiaries that can take up to 6 months.and there are people right now who are going through that six months. till a couple of months ago it took CSC up 6 months full to go through cases,so no NVC is in no way,shape or form as bad as USCIS.not even comperable,dont get your panties up in a bunch just because they didnt process your case in a week or two
