Okay so I got my NOA2 Notice in the mail yesterday, and there is really nothing for me to do at this point, I told my fiance the ball is in his court now...NVC said they would mail him a packet I guess what he will need for his medical and all that other stuff...NVC said it would take about 4 weeks for them to get the paperwork....does it really take that long? I'm just hoping he will be here before Christmas!!


if you look at your consualte review, you can see the forms they ask for. the beneficiary can pretty much complete a great deal fo these now and the petitioner has to give a few of them to the bene as well. best to do all that asasp so when p3 arrives you can send back the stuff same day / week and have less time waiting for the interview date.

Hello to all march 2009 fliers. I have a question to all march 2009 fliers who got there I-129F approved. On the Affidavit of Support question # 11 what did you guys answered. I _ Intend or Do not _ intend. The question is a little bit comfusing. So please if you can help me with this question.

To all March 2009 fliers who got there I-129F approved...CONGRATULATION

Take care and good luck to all on our next journey

If you look at the example form here on vj: http://www.visajourn.../Form-I-134.pdf It states to put N/A, as it is not applicable for K1.

Okay I have a ?. So what all is in this NOA2 Packet and will my Fiance get anything in the mail as well. I'm waiting on mine right now!! YAY!!


Ok well according to your timeline you did get your noa2 which is basically the approval notice for you 129f Application. Some people get an email, some get it snailmail. Once you are sure you have that approval, you will ( the benificiary) receive your packet 3 from the NVC, they will ask you to fill out a checklist and a form or two, depending on where you are, you will send that back first according to your letter, you will have to get the police cert, medical etc, a while after packet 3 you will get packet 4 otherwise known ans you interview letter. again this depends on the consulate involved.

what you can due is post in your regional forum for the UK, they will probably have more detailed advice for you on your specific consulate, and packets etc. smile.gif

i'm not sure why i get myself so worked up when i check uscis. after seeing a bunch of couples get their noa2's recently, i start to think today's our day, only to have the disappointment of "Current Status: Case received and pending."

best wishes to all of us still waiting for our noa2 - our day in the sun will come!!!



Wow, I feel you on that one. I check almost everyday hoping to see something. Then I see people post that they are 9 or 10 on IGOR's. That especially gets me because I see that I submitted before them and I am still like 75 on IGOR's. Its heart breaking. I thought it was first come first serve? Obviously not though. America's allied countries get priority, unless they are Muslim of course.


Lol my fiance has told me i'm not allowed to go to vj or uscis anymore cuz i get so upset. And he can't for the life of me get a real person at USCIS.

as for igors list..i stopped checkign it awhile ago. And it has nothing to do with allied countries getting their noa2 first..i'm from canada and it's now been over 130 days and i've heard nothing, nada, zip, ziltch. They have 2 more weeks and then my fiance is calling his congressman to get an answer , since that will be just about the 5 month mark almost.

Anyway, congratulations to to everyone with recent approvals and best of luck the rest of this journey.

Hi Marchers... I haven't been active in this thread, but just wanted to pop in and give you guys some good vibes and wish you good luck in getting NOA2s quickly.... I can't believe that some April filers (with MAY NOA1s like me!) are getting their NOA2s already!! It's heart breaking for ME, let alone how you guys must feel. This month is YOUR month!! Good luck!

Also, Danu, that's great news about the response you got! I'll have to keep that in mind if it ends up that my process takes a little too long for me to comfortably be there at the start of January.


Definately hon! Theres no harm at all in asking, the worst they could have said was no. I'll keep you updated biggrin.gif, just waiting on them to log my package so I actually get on the list.


Good luck, Guys! Hopefully all the Marchers (lol... sounds funny, doesn't it?) will have their approvals soon! Anyone get any touches on Friday?


I wish...sad.gif At this point seeing april and may filers get approved some of whome haven't even had expedites is making me grrr. I'm starting to think they lost my paperwork..and yet we can't get any info whatsoever from the misinformation line. grrr.

I just want some resonse so i can start planning my life and get the heck out of dodge. er well my sisters place anyway..my family is making me grr also..blurgh.

Oh and to make myself feel better..i've been reading the OT forum..and having a blast laughing...

Your welcome darlin!

So today was a half decent day. Went and got my first Gardasil shot (owwie, its a very stingy vaccine just as a heads up to those who havent gotten it yet) and also emailed my consulate to see if they have logged my packet yet and to see if I could request a date before or around the 15th of september. This is what I wrote them:

QUOTE
This is an inquiry to our case. We have recently returned the info packet for our K1 Visa. I wish to confirm receipt to your embassy of our package.

As well we do have a request if possible. Our wedding is scheduled for 1st week of Oct, and my fiance has time scheduled off of work for the event as well as to come up to Canada to escort me in my drive across country. As this was scheduled in advance it will not be easy to reschedule so we were hoping that we could request and interview date some time around or prior to the 15th of September. I understand that there are no guarantees, but if you could note our account, we would appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for your reply


and this is what I got back (within an hour too woohoo!)

QUOTE
Please be advised that once we receive your paperwork your case will be placed on a waiting list for an appointment.

I have noted your file that you have an early October wedding and therefore will be scheduled soonest and advised

by mail of the appointment date. Thank you for your patience.


So hopefully I won't have to wait too long biggrin.gif Just hoping if they schedule me for the next round of interviews that its for AFTER my medical laughing.gif if not I will see about moving the medical up. Its great cuz one of my friends really wanted to come to both the civil and big one and had been planning for that time too, anything after about the 19th of October she couldn't have done, and I've been invited to a wedding with Wes if I can get down there before the 3rd, so I am very happy today. biggrin.gif


Ohh hopefully they get you that early interview..that would be great for you! I'm glad i'm too old for that shot lol i've read alot of cons about it..and my niece frekaed when she heard ppl were being forced to get it for immigration..she had a royal freak.

Blargh..still no news on Noa2..past the 4 month mark now..getting super anxious and gittery..dunno how much longer i can live with my sister..she's driving me up the bloody wall sad.gif

Got our interview date. Called today to get an interview, I guess they're not busy at all. They wanted to schedule it for next Monday the 13th. But the Medical would need to be one week before the interview date SO we are set for the following week of July 20 @ 7 am.

Our journey is finally coming to an end. After such a long time with the annulment case and everything. It hasn't sunk in yet. That this happening I don't think it will really sink in until I watch Anna walk up the ramp into the terminal at LAX

Thanks everyone.

as it was..his plane was not allowed to let ppl off for 1.5 hours on july 1st at trudeau airport and i was in a panick at that point because no info on the board was posted nothing...i was clueless as to why he was so late..and i almost broke down in the airport sad.gif

"Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between July 5, 2009 and July 10, 2009*."

I don't think it's changed much since I checked a week or so back, but it's certainly more encouraging to have a date (and one that's within the next few weeks, rather than nothing at all).

I'm currently counting down the hours until I can pick my guy up from the airport. At least after tomorrow, I'll get to be with him for the next three months whilst we go through imigration proceedings. Only 30 more hours to go!



I know what that is like. David is flying in July 1st. Hoping we have our approval so we can celebrate while we are together for those few days. it's been over 100 days ( i just stopped counting once it hit 100 sad.gif )since CSC received our application.

while hes here for the week i wanna get all the stuff signed etc that we need to do in advance..so when i do get my packet 3 i can just send it all off same day.

Dont feel guilty Steph. I'ts not your fault. it's just that some of us have seen a bunch of approvals recently and then bang..it seems to have stopped again. And it also seems a bunch of expedites are being done as well. So i feel like i've been pushed onto the back burner again.

What doesn't help is my current living arrangement with my sister. there are alot of RL family issues for me and the more i'm stuck here the more i want to just run away sad.gif

David even tried calling and got the usual standard answer. But then i saw that thread about ppl not getting noa2 but finding out from NVC that they were approved..so after work he's gonna try that and see if just maybe we have been approved.

Yeah Kim, it absolutely sucks cuz we heard most of the times they just let you go, but he must have got the grumpy one. He had to pay duties and everything (though because I have the paperwork for it we can claim that money back as its not staying in Canada)

I have been debating on going to blizzcon this year, depending on when everything goes through been thinking that my reason for visiting will be to goto the convention, but that i would bring my extra paperwork just incase they look me up or something. Not sure though because I have no idea when the NOA2 will go through or when the interview will be. Hoping that I can be lucky like the ones lately and get it in a couple months from the NOA2 date. I just miss him a lot and by that time it will be 6 months since I saw him last.


Hehe blizzcon would prolly be a blast. but ya..i'd be scared to go too with the ppwk in the system. It's always the sick or grumpy ones i get too, or the ones that refuse to look you in the eye..god that annoys me.

I've seen David a total of about 2 weeks since December, now considering i was with him from october til december when i came back it really hurts. But he just told me he's takign the last of his vacation and comming down the first week of July. YAY kicking.gif

Hopefully we'll see some March approvals soon..once we do you know we'll feel better. It's just the damn slowness lately thats gotten to most of us i think.

Hey Steph,

Thats harsh that he was pulled into secondary. When David came down in February with my ring Canadian customs said congratulations stamped his paperwork and even let hm out of paying for duties! he's never had a problem visiting me what so ever..which is weird..but then again he brings practically nothing with him. Just a small backpack with a couple days clothes and thats it.

Me on the other hand.oh boy..ya i won't be going back to chicago til i get my visa...Going through US secondary is like being arrested sad.gif

I still do'nt have a job..seems the languagge barrier in Quebec is really messing with me sad.gif And everytime i try and talk french they frown and i feel like i'm a little kid getting chastised. Luckily I have funds still from selling my house, but i was really hoping to bring that all with me so i wouldn't be a burden on David when i get down there.
Of course he's so sweet he says i'm not and that he wants to take care of me no matter what...

Jome,

Feel free to ask all the questions you want..without these people and VJ i'd be so lost and even more lonely than I normally feel! smile.gif Vj is like the best friend for most of us i think. LOL

Hey.....um, Danu? I was reading the thread all night tonight, (and firstly sorry to hear about the job, you'll pull through though) and secondly,
what are you talking about? lol.

I just got concerned reading a previous post of where you say your man getting pulled into secondary for living in Canada?

Could you elaborate on some things for me, or point me in the right direction?

POE? vwp? Secondary?

I ask because I would like to go live in her country for awhile once we get all the paperwork done over here.


I have to apologize ladies. I am that guy you all say likes to wait until the last minute on things, and I--obviously--am not up on my research...yikes srry!


lol sure I will help you. Secondary is where you get taken to a room and asked questions by an officer. Based on your answers you are allowed or denied entry to the country you are attempting to enter. He didnt get pulled into secondary for living here, he got pulled in because at the airport when Canada Customs asked him the nature of his visit he said to visit me, and he had to declare my ring. They wanted to make sure he was going back to the states and not trying to come here to live with me. The likely hood he will be pulled into secondary again is higher, as is the likely hood I will be as our names are linked in the database now. Nothing bad, just means we need to provide proof we are coming back to our own countries.

PoE is the port of entry which can either be at the border in our case, or the airport...its where you enter the country, no matter which country it is. As an example, if her flight lands in Chicago, thats where she will have to go through the processing with customs once she has her paperwork, unless they offer pre-screening in her country, even if that flight then connects to LA.

VWP is the visa waiver program. Lots of the european countries and Canada have it. It allows you to visit the states without a visitors visa if you are in a country that honors the program. For anywhere overseas the length of the waver is 3 months, for Canada it is 6.

As for you living there while is being processed heres a few things to think about. Once you get the NOA2 (btw your NOA1 date you didnt enter, you should do that biggrin.gif) it will get sent to NVC (the national visa center) to be sent to her embassy. Once they have it, they will issue her Packet 3, which asks for more forms, including financial information from you, regarding your job etc. You must make 125% of the poverty line for the size of your family (you can find the guidelines at http://www.uscis.gov...orm/I-864P.pdf) or you will need to have someone co-sponsor with you, so if you are going to live there and dont have a way to make money, you will need to get someone to sponsor you guys.

Don't feel bad about not knowing. My fiance is the USC, and I did all the paperwork, just showed him where to sign cuz he doesnt get any of it lol. If you need any help with the process let me know!

i think there must have beena full moon last night..cuz well i finally broke down yesterday too. sad.gif

i've told david i didn't want him to take off work to come see me as he's already used up most of his vacation / sick days the last time i saw him, but he's so worried about me he said he was booking a flight for june 5th.

i dont know if i had a panic atk / skitzo episode or what yesterday but i just broke down and lost it. i've been living with my sister and her kid since january, and well we don't get alone well, she's 15 years older than me, an alchoholic, and fights with her daughter all the time. Im basically living out of a suitcase, and my demeanor has gotten very pessimistic, critical, and well..downtright bitchy lately.

The way Uscis messes with ppls lives is unbelieavable. First come first served my A$$. Poor Estadia is still waiting after having her info pass interview and yet i see ppl apply and get approved rediculously fast.

i'm sorry i'm venting as well..sad.gif Didn't mean to. Its just..i really miss David so much and i feel like i'm in limbo with my life..and i'm 35 now..i wanted a family but by the time this gets done i dont even know if kids is an option anymore sad.gif

Blurgh. Hugs to all of us, cuz i know we all need them.
