It'd take an extreme amount of time to go through the petitions looking for easy ones to deal with, I doubt they do that as it'd take a lot of extra effort.

As for no kids and no marriages, that may actually be slower... if there is a marriage, there is a record of it... if there isn't a marriage there is no record of it... and not finding the record may require them to look harder for it instead of assuming that's the case... either way, it's all speculation... I'm also no kids, no marriages for me or my fiancee... and hoping for a NOA2 soon!


You know, I read the in the FAQ the notes from the guy that worked in the NSC, sounds to me like they would actually do the easy ones first sometimes.

Well we were touched today. No change in status though. I dont know what is the method to the madness at CSC. But i think we have not considered the idea that its possible that when these files go into CSC that they are not necessarily sitting in one orderly pile by date. They could be separated by region. Or they could be separated by last name. But here is my last theory and some may not like it. I think what they do is once they approach a new month, they skim through all of them and try to find the ones that may need a semi-emergency need for their files to be reviewed soon. And that means bouncing around from file to file to read the affidavits and get a sense on what their needs are. Their may be alot of people who are pregnant or trying to coordinate other cases with other family members. Once they get the ones that have a lil higher priority to get done immediately, then they go back and go in order from Aug 1 etc....


I think it's more likely they look for the easy ones in the stack... First world english speaking countries, well written, lots of clear info, no previous marriages or children, etc.

We were #145 on Igor's list and we got our NOA2 email today... but my fiance's from Ireland and I used VJ's help to make up the packet, and no marriages or children, so I figure ours looked easy to approve.

This way they can approve more in the same timespan, as opposed to spending loads of time on a complicated case and letting the others sit. They're trying to get their numbers up.

That's my guess anyway. smile.gif

OK. I just officially checked. When I mailed the packet I copied the address I used onto the receipt and it's RIGHT! I'm seriously so frustrated I'm working on tears. Now I have to wait a week for it to come back before I can mail it again. *sigh*.



I'm sorry, that sucks so bad. sad.gif

Officially, the $@(%*#(@#$^ at the post office didn't put the sticker that proves I paid postage so it came back postage due. FedEx here I come!!!! Not to mention, since that guy is at that postal branch pretty much every day I'll be having words with him as well.



This is all so hard and frustrating as it is, w/o errors like this adding to it. I recently read in Randy Paush's (sp?) book that brick walls are put in our way to help us see what is most important to us in life. I try to hold on to that thought, plus the words of another VJ'r "these are just moments in time"......unless I'm really disgusted then I just wacko.gif


So I went to see the guy at the post office. I held up my packet and he knew exactly what was wrong. He apologized a few times and said it had happened a few times and he was new when I sent it and I said, yeah, well, it took two weeks to get back to me and that's two weeks longer my fiance and I will have to wait before we can get married because of you. And he apologized and said I could come get a reimbursement tomorrow. And I said why tomorrow? And he said cause we're closed right now. While he's standing there with the service window open. And smiling at me the whole time. Grinning in fact.

I feel so deflated.

I never got a hard copy letter from USCIS for my NOA1. Does that even matter? only my lawyer got one. But I do have a case number.


I just like to keep it to frame or put in a scrap book.

I also like to keep all these official documents because you never know when someone one day may request an original copy. I dont like depending on others to keep things safe for me.

What if you asked your Lawyer for the original and he/she makes a photo copy to keep with your records there?

Not really sure of any advantages or disadvantages of having the actually hard copy.


I sent it in a brown envelope with bubbles inside, my return address, and wrote I-129F Original Submission on the outside via USPS Certified Mail, no return receipt (as the a$$ at the desk didn't tell me about that).

Sent to
USCIS (but I wrote all this out)
California Service Center
P.O. Box 10130
Laguna Niguel, CA 92607-0130

Of course I haven't gotten the packet back yet so I'll know more when it arrives hopefully. In any case, I'm FedExing that sucker next time!


That's your problem then, the P.O. Box address is for USPS only, for UPS you shoul dhave used the other address...

Note: The following address is used for overnight delivery (Federal Express, UPS, etc.) or bonded courier delivery:

California Service Center
24000 Avila Road, 2nd Floor, Room 2312
Laguna Niguel, CA 92677


When I was going to send mine, I filled out the UPS address, when I got to the place they told me I could us USPS to send from there... and I was going to since it seemed to be implied as the preferred way to send things to USCIS... but I had already put the UPS address on the outside so went with that (which was slightly cheaper anyway... though possibly slower). Maybe review the guide one last time for mistakes you may have made in other documents before sending it back out? These little mistakes are torture but a year from now hopefully no one will feel too bad about them.

Edit to add: Our company has a system for sending out mail that automatically addresses things to clients... we switched to a two line address format probably 6 months ago, a bug in the system caused most of those mails to only have one line of our address showing, and of course it wasn't the street address that showed, it was the name of the strip mall the office is located in... it didn't seem to affect our mail and went unnoticed for 4-5 months... we're hardly some major corporation so it's kind of odd we'd get our mail without a problem... but I guess get it to the right zip code and your mailman may recognize your name enough to know where things go).


Read carefully, I used USPS, sent to the post office address.

So it's been 8 days since I sent my packet, and it still hasn't been delivered. I went to the post office today and the guy said he couldn't tell me anything but that it should have arrived last Thursday or Friday. I think I'm going to cry.


I sent mine UPS and it took almost a week to get there... I am having a hard time viewing myself as patient, and I know it's just the beginning. Seriously, how dumb do you have to be to fall for someone living in another country, you have to be a glutton for punishment to get involved in this process. I'm not expecting a NOA1 any time too soon, maybe mid september since I have to wait on the hard copy... I guess the plus side to that, is between the mail and delay from them issuing noa1 and me actually receiving the document a big chunk of the wait for noa2 will be out of the way.


OMG. I just checked the tracking AGAIN and guess what, it was returned to sender, could not be delivered as addressed. #######?! I addressed it exactly the way it says to on here and the instructions! ARG!!!!!! Well at least I know. I'm Fedexing it next time, screw the waiting.

Hey Guys,

I'm new to this topic but I've been lurking on VJ for aaaaages, since we started this whole process. I have to say, if it weren't for VJ I'm SURE we would have gotten an RFE (as opposed to just the normal maybe). So THANK YOU ALL!

I sent my packet via certified mail on Aug. 18th and I have yet to see that it's been delivered online via usps tracking. It's driving me CRAZY! I should have FedExed it... sigh. I'm so jealous of you that got delivery the next day.

Anyway, as my Brian says, it's worth the wait. I'll have to sit on my hands and be patient.

He's coming to stay for three months, Oct. 10-Jan 6, on a tourist pass thingy, then going back home to get his packet and do his interview. At least we get to be together through a big chunk of the wait time!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportswhat to get ready for NOA2 and interview?

hi my fiance mailed the I129f back in early Dec 2009 and we are still waiting to get the 2nd notice. In the meantime i am trying to get all the paperwork sorted so ill be set for the interview when the letter comes eventually, just wondering what paper work will i need to get ready? does anyone have a list that i could have a look at so i can get organised?

how long does it normally take to recieve the 2nd NOA? It has nearly been 2 months and our status says that it is still being reviewed?!

sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, its my first time posting a question!

looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks : )


Hi there, first, your NOA2 should take about 3+ months, so hang in there. Regarding your interview, the most important and most time consuming things you'll need are your medical results and your police report. You should go ahead and get the ball rolling for those. Your medical could be spread across two visits over a few days, so be prepared. You need your immunization records for that as well. The police report has to be done via mail and can take a few weeks, so you should go ahead and request that. If I remember correctly you have to request it via the local superintendent, which may or may not actually be at your local guarda station. Your US fiance should also send you the items listed at the bottom of the K1 Guide, here. http://www.visajourn...mp;page=k1guide . Additionally they will send you a few forms in your packet 3 that you'll need to fill out, but they're not a big deal. Your fiance also needs to fill out the affadavit of support, listed there in the K-1 guide.

My best suggestions from experience: put all your documents for your interview in a binder with separators and labels. You don't need a huge load of evidence because chances are they won't even look at it, but concrete evidence is a must. Make sure you take a self addressed stamped large envelope (about 8eu worth of stamps), even if someone tells you you don't need it. Make sure you call ahead so you know exactly how much your money order should be made out for. It changes as the dollar/euro value changes. Check the date on all your forms to make sure it's not old. That happened to us and my husband had to run out to an internet cafe and print the new one. Make sure that your name on all your documents, passport, and birth cert all match. If they don't, get it fixed BEFORE the interview. Any papers they give you after the interview also check for name/date accuracy.

Finally, don't get nervous. If you truly have a loving relationship you have nothing to worry about.

If you have any more questions just PM me. Good Luck! I'm sure you'll be fine.

The embassy page listed above does not list DS156k, but you need it. Otherwise it's correct. Make sure you have the most up to date version of the form, regardless of what they send you in the packet. They sent my husband an outdated 156k and he had to run out to an internet cafe and print a new one before his interview.

Dear members , Good Morning. I applied for a fiancée visa in August.129F. Fiancee in China I left out the photographs. I was in Initial review. I called them four days ago and they said my papers would be looked at in 34 days. They asked me if I was still not married. I got a text message just an hour ago. And it said my case had changes made. I log on to USCIS . And it says . In post decision activity.

Post Decision Activity
On April 25, 2013, 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.

I know this is great news. But did they skip over every step and go right to the end?? With photos missing? I think that's what they did. Am I correct. :dance: :no: :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNo priority date on my NOA2.

im on the NVC  site getting a number to call about my NVC number. And they say my NOA2  is susposed to have a priority date on it... It doesn't.    Any problem with this.  Here's what they say.

 

If your Priority Date meets the most recent Qualifying Date, the NVC will:

  1. Invoice you for your visa application fees
  2. Collect your visa application and supporting documentation
  3. Hold your visa petition until an interview can be scheduled with a consular officer at a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate General abroad.

If your Priority Date DOES NOT meet the most recent Qualifying Date, the NVC will notify you and hold your petition until your Priority Date meets the most recent Qualifying Date. The Department of State updates the Qualifying Dates on a monthly basis.

How Do I Know if My Priority Date Meets the Most Recent Qualifying Date? And What Does That Mean?

If your Priority Date is earlier than the Qualifying Date for your visa class and your foreign state chargeability, your Priority Date meets the most recent Qualifying Date and your petition is ready to begin processing at the NVC. Learn more by reviewing the Visa Bulletin.

How Do I Know What My Priority Date Is?

The USCIS assigned your immigrant visa petition a Priority Date when you filed it with USCIS. If you are unsure of your Priority Date, you should refer to the Approval Notice that you received from the USCIS.

Visa Questions

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsEmbassy numbers. General status .I actually talked to people.

Good morning. 

 

I got my NOA2 on April 25. Waiting on a embassy number.   Ghangzhou embassy website has these   instructions about how they schedule your interview.  According to the priority date. The priority date on the NOA2.  Which isn't on mine. They emailed   And said they have no record of my app existing.

 

    I called USCIS.    USCIS sent the app off to NVC. End of their story. 

    I called NVC.   NVC only checks dates once a month.    And as there's no priority date on my NVC.  I was worried.    NVC says the priority date is the same as  the notice date.  And  everyone needs to wait until they  check the dates once a month. When ever that is.     Then if the embassies have room for interviews.  And  the embassy  available date is after your priority date. They send the app off to the embassy. Embassy   gives you the embassy number when it arrives.   

 

According to NVC. Pretty much  the wait time for  any action is up to 30 days after NOA2. But it could be 1 day if you get lucky. And they checked the apps.  One day after it arrived.  And possibly 45  days to get an embassy number.  Even with nothing wrong.   30 days NVC time, plus  15 days  time to mail it to them.  Now if the embassy is booked up. NVC sits on your app until they check it again. In another 30 days. They do apps once a month. !     I suspose  its possible to have  less then a week if both  wait times line up exactly. NVC and embassy are not busy. 

 

Frickin typical government inefficient BS.

I look at it as my troubles  end.   When hers begin.  Ya know , The whole  give up everything to move here program.   And  this ain't nothing.   I married a   feminist for 7 years and it literally almost killed me.    Chinese women are so awesome.  And mine is  really awesome.   I wish I could marry a few.     But they sure as ###### won't tolerate that. Or drinking. Or looking.     So far  her needs involve.  Bring my clothes  here.  My two rice bowls.   I would like a    A TV, a hard bed, a exhaust fan in the kitchen. Some winter clothes.     Amazing.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsGood websites for International airlines
The price of ticket is only one side. When I travel I was looking at price and how long it will take. I had good luck with Orbitz as you can choose departure and flight separately. The tickets in summer always expensive as well US increase tax that lead of increasing price as well.

Note: Use flexible dates +3/-3 days to see ticket prices. A co worker flew to Togo and he used United airlines direct site. (It was cheaper for him)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNormalizing the Really Long Distance Relationship
The thing is if she have Internet and computer then there is a lot of ways to do.
But in your case she does not have Internet and you guys soon should get NOA2 (I hope)

With calling card you do not need enter number and her phone number as you can make speed dial list as well pin not needed after you setup calling card. It also good evidence to proof ongoing relation ship as it show logs of phone calls.

Note: Cellphone sms should not be super expensive.. Unfortunatly there no easy/cheap solution. Not much things to tell you as you close to NOA2. I do not see any other solution beside you call and use calling card.

Sorry I can not provide you with solution

All I can say she can send you a SMS on phone when she is free and you can call her with calling card. The rates for mobile and land line is cheap 5.3¢ for cell phone call and 1.3¢ land line in Moscow

This is best solution if she have no internet.

If she would have Internet you could buy magicjack or magicjack plus and send it to her (You might need send the phone too as they use rotary phone system) Also possible to use google voice but I never try it. When I visit my Fiancee I left a MJ so she can call me on any US phone (Except it better for me to call her as MJ have hidden limit on outgoing call and if they think you abuse system the cut it off and you can not make calls but you can receive them)

Note: the calling card is Mega Clean and Stable
