Good luck you guys! Kim, I hope NVC gets it soon, would be nice if you could get your P3 before Xmas.

I have my visa in hand now, was super quick. If you want it super fast once you get your interview, get the Priority mailer, they sent it yesterday and I have it in my hands today. Its so pretty! Now I have to go finish packing so I can move in Jan. biggrin.gif


OMG that was a fast delivery! lol ya i'm a have to do that..since the day i get my visa i'm gone tongue.gif AT least NVC finally got my petition again. now to find out if the consulate has it and hope i get a fast interview!...

Good luck with the medical Frosty, i'm sure it will be ok. David is gonna call nvc again today and congress. Apparently the ppl at the border where he crosses keep askigng him why i dont go down there to visit instead of him comming here.

well , with the two refusals i had i wasn't sure i'd get in, especially without an noa2. However, i'm starting to think maybe i can go there. So i have it in my head to try in dec around my bday, it will have been a year since my last attempted crossing. i live 5 mins from the Ambassador Bridge, so no biggie if i get sent back..and at this point, i do not think it will harm my k1.

Nvc still has not received my file. and i have not received a new noa2, and it expires in 12 days. UScis wont help, DOS wont hep, NVC has no idea. Congress wont get back to us. And this week is thanksgiving so the offices will be closed for 2 days. I'm afraid my peition will expire before it gets anywhere and then i'll be sh1te out of luck. IF i could be sure it would get to my consulate by dec 6th, i wouldn't worry, but it was reaffirmed on Nov 12, and is still not at NVC. Thats about where i am.

The only thing keeping me together is that i have seen David 3 weekends in the last month now that we live closer. For the long weekend he is bringing me my dogs who i haven't seen in a year.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch 2009 K1 Filer
so i guess i have a bit of good news. CSC finally sent me an email saying that prcessing has resumed on my case after my RFE. I'm just wondering how long it takes them to reaffirm their original NOA2.

also i move saturday. got accepted for my apartment on a month by month lease. really nice landlords too. and david is comming up this weekend to help me get settled. we are both excited at the prospect of being able to see each other every weekend now instead of every few months. and not having to pay for plane tickets and hotels makes this so much easier to save up money.

hopefully this trend can continue and i'll be joining the rest of you at the consulate interview stage soon. maybe i'm counting my chickens before they hatch but i do not see a reason they would not give me a 2nd noa2. right now i just want these positive feeling to continue!!

Well, just a hair over 7 months from posting the forms and a year of being long distance, Sarah's visa was delivered to her yesterday via courier! She'll be here for good 12 days from today! Thanks to everyone for the help and support in answering all my questions, it was much appreciated, and good luck to those who don't have their approvals or visas yet. The wait is hard as hell but just be sure to keep the reason you're doing it in the front of your mind, and you'll realize it will all be worth it in the end.


Great news! The wait is very much worth it even though you want to kick scream and punch the whole way!! lol smile.gif

Well currently i've decided i'm moving from montreal to windsor ontario. living with my sister and her 23year old daughter has become a nightmare. im accused of all sorts of things (blamed by the daughter no less) and i'm treated like a slave, i'm expected to cook . clean do groceries etc for the 2 of them while i've been staying here.

I do pay rent, i pay my own intenet, and i buy my own groceries which they eat. i've also had to deal with the landlord due to my sister never paying rent on time, deal with the phone company as it was disconnected too.

windsor is a 5 hour drive from chicago, so i'm trying to move fairly soon as i dont know how much longer i can take being away from david , or how much i can deal with my alchoholic family, and i want to move before the snow comes.

blargh sorry for the rant.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Hopefully things will be better in Ontario. Will moving put you at a different consulate for the interview? Hopefully a much faster time frame? Good luck to you!


no i'm still stuck with Montreal. but i dont really care as long as i can see david more often then every 3-4 months. getting tired of the awkwardness of the first day together again ya know? you waste a day reconnecting in person and when you only have 2.5 days together it makes it hard.

We finally got our NOA2 after exactly 7 months!

I should be excited but I am not, because I won't be able to marry my fiance like we have planned since he will be deploying to Afganistan very soon. We're still going to pursue the visa and just get married during his R&R, next year. Oh well, this is what happens when your love life depends on USCIS and the Military mad.gif


congratulatioins!

Hopefully i'll get my new noa2 soon, only took 7 months to send me an RFE and two months after my orginal noa2...sigh. Good thing i did not plan a september wedding like i wanted to ..and now with the wait at my consulate for interviews it looks like next summer is when i'll get my visa. so much for wedding date #3..on to our 4th date. sad.gif

So i just got this email:

We reopened this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) on October 7, 2009, and are now reviewing our earlier decision. We also mailed you a notice describing the next steps in the process. Please follow any instructions on this notice. Our review should be completed within 30 days. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

i'm guessing that means my noa2 is no longer valid and they are reabjudicating it.

Wow finally! Congrats Danu. After all this you finally have a date. This process is so stupid. You were so far ahead of all of us, at least when the NOA2 came, and I remember how jealous I was. lol.
Now though, people are back and fourth all over the place!!! headbonk.gif helpsmilie.gif

Crazy. We finally got an interview date as well, the 12th of Nov.
Good luck to you!

Now we are working on getting past our nervousness of an overstay issue being brought up at the interview, yikes!
Check it out, it would be great to know what everyone thinks about the issue.

Good luck with your interview prep Danu.


Lol thank you! I've been ready for it for months, so its been driving me crazy not knowing. Our consulate is so backed up now its stupid..our interview will be 5 months from NOA2, 4 months since we sent our packet back...I've been intensely jealous of everyone who got theirs so quickly after sending their info back. Stupid Montreal. The worst part of it all is knowing Kim is going through that consulate too! I really wish they would have expedited her properly.


well if i work in all the wait times etc, it looks like my interview if i get one will be in March, one year from starting this whole stupidity and 15 months after separating from David. 4 months which were added on by the lawyers mistakes. i've definately joined the do not get a lawyer bandwagon.

Any new news on your front?


yup. we noticed a mistake on our paperwork back in april and told lawyer to fix it. he never did. our paperwork made it all the way to the consulte and it was them that denied it and sent it back. after 7 months we are getting an RFE. i just got the email from CSC. and even though yes according to csc they made a mistake not noticing this, the expedite that the immigratin officer said they would do, was denied as well.

all in all the lawyer costed us 4 months of total bullsh1te. csc is backed up now, and telling us 3 months to process an RFE. And because of this i just know i'm going to end up in AP, so i'm expecting this whole process to take 2 years now. it's already been 7 months and with the wait for interviews at montreal the way it is..shrug. As it stands my sister has to move, so i'm going to be without a place to stay so i'm a have to move provinces back to ontario since i can't get a job in quebec due to my french sucking.

overall i'm completely demoralized atm. if i could go stay with David for a couple months i would..but i can't give enough proof of ties and i doubt noa2 would really make a difference since i was refused twice already at poe i'll get extra scrutinzed.

Hi

I was wondering that since youre also from chicago like my fiance, could you tell me who you got in touch with?

I figure that someone who has a proven track record is probably the best choice. We were thinking Sen. Durbin...

Also do you think that we waited too long.

lastly I lawyer said he would get in touch with the Senator; should we let him do it or so it ourselves....OR do both ways?


depends on which district you live. we chose the wrong congressman and he forwarded it on to the right one.

Congrats to those who've gotten some activity recently, and I hope all of us Marchies are done with USCIS very soon.
News from our end: Visa is in-hand, and we leave for the airport in about a half-hour!
Unlike USCIS, the State Dept. truly has shown that they have a heart. After being told by the embassy that it was "impossible" that we would get our visa today, we got a call five minutes later saying they were working on it, and that we should come down this morning at 10AM. The woman who gave us the paperwork (and passport with visa!) seemed very excited for us, and said that we should send them a picture of our kids. Cute, but why is everyone so focused on kids when we just want to be married first? smile.gif As proof that they heard our pleas, there was a post it with "urgent case" written and underlined on the back of the passport.
Anyway, now instead of stressing about immigration issues, we'll have 14 days to concentrate on stressing about the wedding! smile.gif
Keep the faith, everyone. There is good in the world of visas.


WOWSERS that was fast! Congrats! makes up for all the waiting and wondering! smile.gif

Thats the thing..nvc did originally have it..but the paperwork was borked.. csc did not send the stuff properly so nvc sent it back.

because of this i am in a waiting line, and have to be reabjudicated. i'm not sure how this works compared to an rfe, but and rfe would have been quicker at this point. CSC said we'd get a letter within two weeks and nothing, i have had a touch on the case the 18th, but nada since.

just frustrating ya know? finally had some closure when i got the approval and now i feel lost again. and i'm missing david more and more and i'm back to crying alot sad.gif

Aw hon, I'm so sorry. I hope they get their asses in gear. I really really hope you can also request expedite for your interview, cuz this is rediculous.


david already requested an expedite last week when he spoke to the immigration officer..but it dont look like anything is happening. it's been at csc for 14 days now...and nothing has been done to it..i asked him to call and raise hell today. i dunno if it's a girl thing, usa/can thing or what..but if i have a complaint i write email yell call..david doesn't. in fact it's almost like he's afriad to tilli freak out and yell at him to yell at the us govt.

so we called spoke to a lvl 2 immigration officer ( btw you have to specifically ask for that..they will not offer to transfer you ), they told us NVC has no authority to send back petitions or take away an NOA2. USCIS received it on september 10th, and yes it was sitting on a shelf doing nothing til now! GRRRRRR.

Because it is a USCIS error they will now expedite it and fix the filing issue and send it back to NVC, however they do not have a time frame.

Good news is that the approval is still valid, bad news, it's been over a month, so we only have just a little under 3 months left.

Here's to hoping when it gets back to NVC we dont get stuck in processing again, cuz this march filer is fed up with this process!

**not sure if it will help, but we told them we are keeping congress and DOS updated on the complications uscis caused us..and that dos and congress will be checking up on our petition. hopefully that will help light a fire under someone's butt. tongue.gif

Heh Kimbear, don't sweat the 4 month valid period on your NOA2. My approval from CSC was on July 24th...a month later NVC had still not received it so I contacted my Congressman and she contacted USCIS and it was sent the next day to NVC...it had been sitting after approval for 1 month. I then received ANOTHER NOA2 with a new date of August 18. I think that is likely what will happen with you...a new NOA2. Mav

According to DOS the consulate does not have it. the last log of my petition anywhere was when NVC received it on the 15th. We have 4 ppl working on this. I've a good mind to whip off an email to Hilary Clinton bitching at her..but alas i'm CDN, so i doubt it would do much...although NVC is under her domain.

so i found out what happend to my k1 after it was put in ap after my approval..according to Dos..Nvc lost it.

dos is confused..uscis is confused, and nvc is confused.

my noa2 was not revoked by nvc, or sent back to uscis. why i got that letter after telling me it was in AP i don't know, or the one saying it went to the consuulate is unclear,or the email from nvc saying it went back to csc.

the only trace anyone has of it is when it was sent out august 7th to Nvc. and that nvc got it a week later. now it has vanished into thin air.

DOS resolution specialist and visa specialist have contacted nvc and uscis, there is a service request..my congressman is calling every day as well as my fiance, and the lawyer.

i am sooo peeved right now. it's been a months since my Noa2.....

....Made it to 44 on Igor's list...


Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On September 1, 2009, 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.

Guess pestering USCIS and contacting my congressman eventually gets things moving. Here's to hoping the rest of the process is a little smoother. I suppose this also stops my grumbling about this and that...for now tongue.gif


congratualtions Binow on your approval, and congrats tho those who got their visas in hand!

Congrats Saska & Tim!!

Binow..definately get in touch with your congressman. Only he can find out the true reason your file is delayed. Many of us were told background checks and that was not true.

thanks for all the kind words and thoughts. I'm really trying to stay sane right now without breaking down and crying again. i haven't even felt like eating in two days. i've been nautious, headaches from crying , and just feeling so lost. And i yelled at poor david and snapped at lawyer and kinda had a meltdown.

how can they play with peoples lives like this..i just don't understand. first they tell us fbi background checks, and that it will take another 5 months from july, then we get congress involved and i miraculously have an noa2 within a week, now they decide nope were sending it back, and now i'm wondering if my file is going to get lost in a black hole being sent back and forth while one says approved and the other say no.

and the whole while all we can get out of anyone is incomplete documentation. BLURGH! so help me is uscis fvcked up, grrrrrrrrrrrr.


But at least my other march filers are doing better. glad to see some of you have your interviews and it's almost over for you!!

Wow. I cannot believe that.
You need to contact your higher ups and find out why this happened.
It just doesn't seem right. Have you found any other forums posting about something like this?
You need to narrow it down to K1's being refused at NVC because all the ones I have seen stay no longer than a week.
What did they tell you on the phone at NVC?


they wont tell us anything they just say wait for the letter from uscis which will take prolly 2 weeks..the wont tell the lawyer anything either. i already chewed out my fiance for not contacing the congressman again. by law in their own manuals it says they have 3 days to give a congressional inquiry an answer.

i have spent the entire morning scouring the foreign affairs manual, abjudicators manual and any thing else that i could find.

the only thing i found was that nvc can issue rfe's. but those are usually for CR1. and considering how many times in the last two weeks i've called nvc..their is no excuse for them not to say anything or request anything. they did not have to send the file back to california.

what i'm worried about is the fact that the ombudsmans report dated june 30 2009 states that CSC does not reabjudicate petitions. they let them expire. which is prolly why VSC is always backed up..they do reabjudicate them.

which means..i'm screwed. My fiance cannot apply for another petition..or refile, or get married while this one is active, and if we do it would require a waiver of some sort, and from what i've read those are hard to get depending on what you are asking for.

but first things first..we have to know why it was refused at Nvc.
