K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecember 2013 filers

I finally got a case number from the NVC...woooohoooo! I guess everyone on here was right, you just have to keep calling and calling and calling until they finally assign you one.

 

Anyways, in regards to the USPS mail I've been noticing that things that normally take a week to get to Peru are now taking up to three weeks being sent regular mail. I'm wondering if it's because of all the bad weather that has been taking place all over the U.S.? That could be slowing down the mail I would think. So, if you're expecting that Valentine's Day card and it doesn't show up today don't worry it will show up someday! biggrin.png

Well, I finally called the NVC yesterday and they had just received my case yesterday from the CSC so, as of yesterday it wasn't assigned a "case number" yet. The girl that I spoke with was very friendly and she basically stated that they don't do too much with I-129F petitions when they come in other then enter them into the system and ship them out to the designated Embassy. I did ask her how will I know when it is shipped and she said as long as you signed up for email alerts they will email you to let you know when it is sent to the Embassy. If that's true, I have no clue, but I think tomorrow I'm going to call them again and see if a case number has been assigned yet or not just in case.

 

I hope everyone who hasn't received their NOA2 yet will get good news soon!

Ok, this may be a question that has already been asked, but I'm so confused about this whole NVC thing with the NVC tracking number. So, you'll have to excuse me here.

 

Yes, it would be nice to track something after you receive your NOA2.  Mine specifically states that it may or may not be sent to the NVC or DOS. In other words, it's not very clear.

 

If we were to call the USCIS and ask them if our case has been sent to the NVC, DOS or to the Embassy directly will they give us that information?

 

I'd hate to keep calling the NVC being on hold for such a long time just to check to see if they have it and it ends up bypassing them all together and going directly to the Embassy. I'm assuming that's what is being mentioned in the above post(s), that it bypassed the NVC & DOS and went directly to the Embassy? If that's the case I'm not going to waste my time calling the NVC.

 

Any suggestions? I did call the NVC yesterday and the woman told me that they don't have record of my case yet and that it could take up to 8 weeks. 

 

Thanks a bunch for all of your help everyone!

Have you checked the uscis site and see if they sent out your case to NVC already? 

 

 

Hi Ean!

 

This is all it says on the USCIS website (see below). I don't believe you can track when they actually mail it out to the NVC. I believe that's why everyone tends to wait a bit and then calls the NVC to get their new number to track their case once it's at the NVC, but I could be wrong since this is all new to me. smile.png

Hi everyone! I received my NOA 2 hard copy in the mail on Friday. I haven't called yet, but wanted to see how long you should wait before you start calling?

 

It would be really nice to be able to track the process so my fiance can time getting all the paperwork that he needs and stuff. We're trying to time this to where he can come to the States in August since he has to attend his sister's wedding. Yeah, the sister's wedding is kind of screwing us up here. lol 

 

Oh well, we're just glad to get the first step out of the way and looking forward to getting the next step completed!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecember 2013 filers

In my honest opinion, I think it's very hard to "predict" when someone is going to get their NOA2 here. Only because you have to realize that not everyone in the United States that has applied for a K-1 visa is on this website so the estimate is only based upon users of this website only. So, I wouldn't take it literally. If I wouldn't have received my NOA2 already I would have waited the 5 months as it's stated on the USCIS website as the processing time. 

 

Of course, that's just my opinion only. smile.png

Now onto Part II getting everything ready for my Beneficiary in Peru. 

 

Thank you to everyone on this site that has contributed, inspired others and has helped along the way. Without this website and fellow members I'd be completely lost in this process. THANK YOU! good.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresEvidence and notification (split topic)
I had issue with bonafide documents. Since I had nothing to provide as a bonafide evidence, I was told by my counselor/lawer to send pictures we took with other people, including our wedding pictures & also proof of ongoing relationship, for that I sent screenshots of our skype video logs (starting from the time after I left his country until I mailed I-130, which was technically 1 month) will that be enough?

I'm just curious &haven't heard from USCIS yet after I mailed out the I-130, it's been 4 days since the documents have been delivered...I'm getting very nervous :(

Thanks. I just don't understand why some fly through NVC and others get stuck for weeks.

Its the job of any government agency to meet  a quota for ####### they have to screw up.

 

The longer they hold it. The more likely it gets lost.

 

Then they can justify their jobs by finding it.

My fiancée sent me this message that our case changed.  I don't know where she is getting the case status at.  USCIS, Dept of state, and NVC aren't telling me anything. NVC keeps telling me my request is filled out wrong or the birthdates don't match.   But she sent me this message on QQ. It wont paste here.

 

A picture from the Dept of State with our case number and a message. I shortened it.   Summary.  Our case is undergoing necessary administrative processing.  It will take a couple of weeks. Follow information given at your interview.

 

 

  She hasn't received the interview packet yet. We don't have an interview.

 

I have a hard copy letter saying she will get the interview packet in the mail.  From May 24.

 

Have a good day.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPacket 3 arrived . !!!!!!

DieseltuMaleChina2013-06-04 00:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPacket 3 arrived . !!!!!!

Hi, Group 

 

My fianceé just got packet 3 in the mail. From the Guangzhou embassy. I'm so happy.      I didn't know what it was. I could see there was copies of  her statements about her not being a criminal and being single. Over QQ.   And a copy of my application signature from last August.    So  She sent me a couple pictures ,  and I  barely see packet three on the bottom.   Its the instructions for all the papers she has to get together. The D290 and the photos , ect. 

 

I'm so damn happy.    I can't believe it.  Were still moving along nicely. 

 

On a more eerie note.   My attorney knows when she  or I   is getting mail. Before we get it.    He called her three  hours before the mail arrived and told her she should have mail when she gets home. She called me on the way home and said she has papers. I turn on QQ at 11:10  and she just walked in and its not opened yet. 

 

When I find out last week our case is in administrative processing...He knew.    He told me it don't mean anything.   And here comes a packet today.    I got my NOA2 and he already knew.  CGI Stanley . He said its done....  Wait. 

 

Maybe he's just connected. But certainly he's good.

It took about an hour.  In his office. And it was in the mail at 4 pm.  ClockWatch2.gif wow.gif I guess she's serious huh?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPacket 4 arrived.

Yes I do have to wait.  I have an attorney.   And he just paid   paid the fees , set up the account, and  I'm getting an  appointment as we speak. He said no July yet.   The fiancée  said the embassy is moving in July.  But I don't know if it's true or not.


DieseltuMaleChina2013-06-10 23:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPacket 4 arrived.

  I'm not on CGI Stanley yet.  I'm not allowed on CGI Stanley until she gets packet 4 and the code.    I knew it was coming in the mail.   Attorney told me it was coming  in the mail. He said wait a month though.  It's 7 days.  I'm sure he Fed ex it over night too. Fed Ex goes to ghangzhou.   

 

i told him about the shortcut.  He said he does it every day.  More or less mind my own business. 

 

 My fiancée said they are still doing mail and emails.  Both ways.   I read it somewhere too.  I think it was CGI site. That said it. The Consulate  is still mailing  for  packet 4 K1s. At their discretion.  Because they are still in charge of K1s. Not CGI Stanley.   But not for the other types.     It had something to do with K1 visas. And I cant access CGI until packet 4 got to her.  With the access code .

 

Fast turn around. I'm not sure.    I can only guess  that I have impeccable paperwork.  And a  good  background.  My work history is good. And I'm sure they could trace my history back for 35 years. With the documents i sent them.   I've got pages of documents that they asked for.   And documented  contact with her daily.      I was approved without photos for my initial.  I think  my paperwork is so good that my case is ironclad .  Even with some error, they say its good to go. 

 

Saying that.  I know how to fill out papers the government way.  I used to have to turn papers into the government daily. 

 

Other then that or luck.  It's the attorney.  He's connected. Or just that good.     But he won't say.   All the women in  In Nanning and Shanghai know this guy. She told me about him.   She said  he was mandatory.  We weren't waiting 2 or 3 years.  We get him or else  we ain't getting married.    wow.gif   I know he's got cases in every state in America.  Europe, All over.   He's 97% success.   And his failures are because somebody lied. Or hiding something.  Or was a criminal and didn't think it mattered.  

 

He called my fiancée to tell her packet 3 was at her apartment before she got home.  How does he know when the mail  is coming. He emailed me when my mail arrived here in America.  He told me before. He knows what's going on before we do.   Fine. 

 

He wasn't expensive either. He gave my fiancée a substantial discount off his internet price too.

 

And I had to interview with him to get him.  He can tell if the couple will work out. Or is scammers.  And he said he knew right away we are serious and are good together.  

 

I'm damn  happy, lucky or both.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsi think my fiancee K1 just got approved this minute.

Just got off the phone to Nanning.  My attorney  says she is approved.  He says they are making her do a new  DS156K, because they think I went there to marry her.    Since the interview on August 1st.    They want that form , two photos, and her passport.  

 

He told me to wait after the failure.       

 

Think about that.   I could of went there , married her and cost me another year and a half or so.    Doing a CR1. 

 

 

 And that's  about  it.  

 

For now.  

 

I started this on August 18th  2012.  I think   . Were talking 13.5  months  to get here  , roughly.  Even without the interview failure . Its still a year.
