K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary 2014 Filers

FYI:

Received an official notice from NVC stating that a case # has been assigned and was sent to consular office for further processing.

Now, given that I already had my case # 7-9 days before the notice by calling NVC 2 days after receiving NOA2 it doesn't hurt to have it in writing for record keeping purposes.

 

Moving forward, we've been getting our papers ready for the interview in Apr. VJ provides a list to recommended items to prepare for the interview but per embassy rep (in my case), I was instructed to not "over-do" with docs, instead, only to bring required docs posted on their website. (Whatever, to prevent any potential mishaps, I'll have a mobile office depot ready standing by at her interview smile.png )

 

so this thing called "packet 3" and/or 4...I have no clue cry.gif  I was told that I received everything I needed from them for the interview.

hi there,

 

it called package 4 and you only need to confirm your interview date with them. Congrats! :D


I am sooooo excited. my fiance will be here-Indonesia on Sunday. We will have our interview on Tuesday! :D

 

Wish you guys a very good interview time!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIS THE USCIS CASE STATUS PAGE DOWN?

 

If your Internet, cable, or cell phone service goes down for two minutes, these companies will have service personnel out to fix it immediately. Why then isn't the same required of the US government who charges tax payers for services they pay contractors ten times more?

 

Are you seriously equating net, cable and phone providers, whose sole purpose is to provide those services (and rake in cash), to a module on a web site that lets you check up on your immigration case? Yes, those must be the same level of priority and urgency in both examples.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsImmigrant classifications

Wow, reading comprehension issues.

 

Craig's (or Zoe's?) question, dumbed down for condescending *censored*:

 

1) You arrive on a K1. You get your I-94. Yours status is? One word answer, if possible. (My answer: No idea. Not an immigrant, not a visitor, but definitely there legally. Not sure if there's an actual name for it.)

 

2) You get married and file AOS. Your status? Again, a one word answer. (I think that's temporary protected status, but not sure how that works in terms of resident/non-resident or immigrant/non-immigrant or what the proper term is.)

 

3) You get your green card. Your status? (Congrats, you're now a lawful permanent resident.)

Had this email/text today :-)

'Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)


Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity


On March 10, 2014, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly'

What shall we do next.









 

Like that.

 

On March 5, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E).   <- That's what is says when you get your NOA2. It clearly says they've shipped yours.

Looks like they shipped your case to NVC yesterday. If I were you I'd start calling in a few days. There's a K1 guide in the UK regional forum, I think you'll find more applicable info there.

Interview today....and APPROVED!  We couldn't be happier.  They asked some rather odd questions, considering I was married previously (to a man)...as in they asked how did my fiancee know that I wouldn't go back to men.  I would have been offended, but my fiancee just laughed it off and said "trust me, she's gay!"  Anyways....very happy to have it over with.  Now we just have to get the visa and get her to the U.S.  A month from now she'll be home and I can't wait!!!!

 

Congrats to you too! :D

 

 

Congratulations!!! To everyone and their visa approvals!
 

*sigh* I am in a bind, last week I got laid off from my job. So I'm worried what to do about the I-134 affidavit of support. 
 

I'm like in a rat race to find a job, been applying every where and waiting to hear back from jobs that I applied, California is a tough job market. I hope to find a job soon ... please pray for me that I find a job soon. sad.png

I am happy that my petition got approve but the job loss has gotten to me, like I feel like a failure. Thank God my fiancé keeps telling me everyday to stay positive, I just feel like a big let down to him. I am just worried about the interview too. The only positive outlook is that I know he is coming soon. 
 


But I have friends though, thank God for my close friends, who said they would help be co-sponsors. Anyways what forms and documentation do I need? 

 

Sorry to hear about your job. Hang in there, you'll find a new one! From what I understand, you as well as your co-sponsor will need to fill out a I-134 each, along with tax returns, letters from employers and banks (if you use any assets to make up the difference to 125% poverty line). It might be best if you email the embassy to see what kind of supporting documentation they want with the I-134, or ask on the regional forum. Good luck!

If your beneficiary has gone through medical...

 

Is 'Hep A' (1 shot of its series) required prior to EOD? 

Her doc recommended to start the series in the states since the second shot must be taken 6mo later.

Would suck if this doc's recommendation screws up her interview.

 

Assuming she's over 18 years old hep A isn't required at all unless her doctor specifically recommends it because of some medical issue she has.


sharky-rexMaleCroatia2014-04-06 05:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary 2014 Filers

Yeah, I think you got bad advice. K1s are often processed as immigrant visas. From here http://kabul.usembas...rant-visas.html

 

 

It is important to note that almost all visa processing prior to the interview is conducted by the National Visa Center in the United States. With K (fiancé/e) visa appointments, the Consular Section at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul will contact applicants with required documentation and an appointment date.

 

For me that's exactly what happened, they sent me an email and we worked out an interview date. If I were you I'd try to contact the embassy, or at least check in the regional forum.

 

 

Hi everyone,

 

So this morning I spent about 40 minutes on hold with the NVC, and when someone finally answered she only spoke to me for about a minute. She told me that I had to go to usembassy.gov and to my country to get an appointment.

 

I found Kabul and on that website I did the following:

 

  • Under Visas I clicked on Non-Immigrant Visas (I am filing for a K1 and filled out a DS 160)
  • Clicked on this link : http://kabul.usembas...for_a_visa.html.
  • Then clicked on a link that sent me to: evisaforms.state.gov
  • I clicked "Schedule an Appointment"
  • Then I filled out questions such as:
    • ?Surname
    • Given name
    • Passport Number
    • Barcode Number (OF DS 160 Confirmation page)
    • Email
    • Telephone
  • ?Next I was able to choose a date and time.
  • Printed out the Confirmation page

It was so easy! But that is exactly my concern! I feel as if it was too easy. Has anyone else gone through this method? Is the appointment date for the interview actually valid?

Many thanks!

 

P.S. I'm not just asking about Kabul, I would like to know everyone's story.

Just letting everyone know we got approved this week :)

It was quite an easy processes - around an hour in and out - my fiance was there and everythig went smoothly.

Questions:

How did you meet?

When did you start dating?

To my fiance: have you met her parents? What is her mother's name?

What are your wedding plans?

 

That was it :)

 

Good luck to everyone!

 

Congrats! So happy for you :D

Anyone else fill out the DS-160? I expected questions about previous work history/residency/education but they just asked for current job and address. I have a mistake on my G-325a and I was looking forward to correcting it on this form :/

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if someone could answer my questions in as much detail as possible. Many thanks in advance!

Timeline:
NoA1: 02/04
NoA2: 03/13

I received my hard copy of the NoA2. Now I know the next step is to wait for the NVC to give me a case number. I've gathered through this thread that I can try calling them for it. My questions are:
1) Once I receive the case number, then what?
2) Many people have mentioned that the ceac website says their case is READY. Ready for what?
3) Being that my fiancé is in Afghanistan and the mail service there is unpredictable, can I sign up for communication through email? If so, how can I enroll?

Thanks!












 

1) You can check your status, the way you did with your USCIS case number. Your fiancee will also need it to fill out the DS-160.

2) At the embassy and ready for interview

3) I don't know. You could try calling/emailing the embassy and asking.
