K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnother update of my case but the same information

Just got off the phone with USCIS and ours has been sent to the Raleigh Field Office rather than TSC. She did say if i receive multiple paper forms stating where it was sent to I should go with the one with the newest postmark (fun).

 

 

 

They keep giving conflicting answers. My update says it has been transferred to my local office but the USCIS officer kept saying it had been sent to TSC. Did they tell when to expect to hear from the field office? I hope they stamp " priority" on all of ur applications before transferring them to the field offices.?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnother update of my case but the same information

I just talked to an officer and she seems to be giving conflicting information. According to her system, our cases were transferred to TSC and when I asked her why their site says local office, she said she didn't know why. The sad news she told me was  we have to give them at least two months. That is #######.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnother update of my case but the same information

Yesterday I received an email and a text message that my case has been transferred to my local office, Baltimore. I just got to the office and as always, decided to check the case status and saw that there has been another update this morning but the same information as yesterday. What is that?

 

Initial Review

On May 30, 2013, we transferred your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), to your local USCIS Office for further processing. The new office has jurisdiction over your case and will send you a decision as soon as processing is complete or you will be notified if further information or action is needed. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address.

I got one on 5/24, one on 5/29 and two on 5/30. I think it has finally been transferred to wherever they sent it. TSC or my local office. Hoping for the best.

It makes you more mad when you read CSC processing February 28th application. And come to think of it, we all paid the same fee.

I hope they too don't turn around and tell us that they don't have jurisdiction over our case. I don't know how many times I check the USCIS for any movement.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCase transfer of I-129F? VSC

Well well. I just got off the phone with USCIS officer to understand the meaning of this email and text message. After collecting my information, he told me that according to his system my case is still showing vermont center so the text may either be wrong or his system may not be updated. But he said if the text is true then it may be a good thing because that means the cases are being sent to local office which will process them faster. So let us hope for the best very soon.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI just can't stop crying

No they did not ask him for any specific evidence just to "provide additional evidence of a relationship with your petitioner."

Eg. Photos, Cards and letters, Phone Records, Remittance slips????, Emails, other evidence you might be able to provide.

 

I will scan this form on Monday and post it on this FORUM. It might help someone.

 

Don't you skype with him. Any emails and birthday or christmas card? No one writes a letter now but I think if you do have facebook, skype and email messages, you should be fine.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI just can't stop crying

These are the items I sent and what my fiance also brought to interview.

 

Pictures from March 2011, July 2011, Dec. 2011, July 2012, Jan. 2013 (about 60 total)

Cell phone records from 2010 til now about 2 sheets from each month iwth his number highlighted

Our relationship history

Copies of all passport pages

Birth certificate with my name on it for his son whom I have adopted

Bank account in Ghana with both our names

Papers from ownership of a Taxi we own together in Ghana

Records of money sent to him in Ghana from my account to OUR joint account

and of course all items required for the 129F visa itself.

 

They asked him two questions and ask him to bring more evidence of our relationship on September 12. #######??? Going to Ghana to me means going to visit everyone at home and it costs a lot of money when I visit so it is not just the price of a ticket and hotel.

I am soooo upset and do not know what to do. We have spent money on planning our wedding in September because I thought an interview in July would give me enough time to get him here by September. What else do they want?cray5ol.gif

 

 

What more evidence do they want? Both of you in bed together or what? This is just crazy. I just got mine approved and I am flying to Ghana to attend the interview with my fiance. Sorry to hear that but never lose hope. Ask him if they did ask for a specific evidence because this is crazy.

Africa: Sub-SaharanGhana Consulate K-1 Interview Review

Quite a few people have posted about the Accra Embassy's in the past few months, check under 'Consulate Reviews' section here in the Ghana country portal page... I believe if you're a Ghana country member you should be getting emails when each member adds a review. I know i do, and as soon as I get that email I log in and read, and re-read and re-read the reviews... Good Luck, and I hope that you will post you and your fiance's review once he goes through the process. I plan to attend my fiance's interview when the time comes, even if it breaks the bank, the most important thing to me is getting him here, even if we sacrifice for the wedding and the honeymoon!! 

Thanks Tosh Love for sharing.  I really do wish you and your fiance the best.  I have read the reviews.  I guess I was looking for scenarios of the fiance interviewing alone.  Thanks for helping

Africa: Sub-SaharanGhana Consulate K-1 Interview Review

My husband had his interview for his kids in June.  He said they are professional but still try to trick people.  I suggest be prepared for everything.  For example I had prepared an entire book of evidence including copies of everything we submitted, money transfers, pictures, letters and affidavits he said they never looked at that.  The guy asked where was his evidence, and my husband said kind of forceful "you have everything what do you want now".  The guys then tried to interview my daughter who was under 12 and asked "where does your mother live in the U.S."  They call me Mom, so she starts to answer and my husband had to say no-no there mother is not in the US their step-mother is, I their father is in the US.  Every second from the time he steps in front of the people he will be in the midst of the interview. 

Thanks so much for sharing Evoria!  I've heard that they don't look at a lot of information.  Do they look at the evidence if the American fiancee isn't present or are they immediately doubtful that the relationship is fake?  Anyone else have any insight?

Africa: Sub-SaharanGhana Consulate K-1 Interview Review

Hey VJ...I've noticed that there haven't been many updates about interviews lately.  I'm curious as to how cold-hearted/virtuous the interviewers have been for the past few months.  Please share if you recently had an interview or have an impending interview within the next few weeks.  I'm particularly curious to read or know about a male fiance being interviewed without his female fiancee present. Reading reviews puts my heart at ease a little, and helps me prep.  Hope all is well with all of you on this crazy journey.

Africa: Sub-SaharanPacket 3

The embassy will mail you a formal letter a few weeks later saying that they have processed your petition and that your fiance can pick up his packet on any Wednesday at 9am.  However, if you email the embassy (addresses listed in the 'embassy info' tab on this website about the packet, they will respond with an email for your fiance to print out and bring with him when he goes to pick up the packet.  It cuts about 2-3 weeks out of the waiting process.  I did this.  My petition was processed on the August 12th and he was able to get his packet on the 21st.  He now has a september 30th interview date.

Africa: Sub-SaharanAdvice for K1 Interview in Ghana

I really feel for you ToshLove.  It's absolutely ridiculous that they wouldn't explain these procedures to you while you are physically in their presence. The officer that collects the evidence could clearly SEE that you not only have extra documents that you are holding in your hands but both of you are together, and chose to remain silent.  That's infuriating, that someone could be so cold.  I hope that things will go better for the 2 of you, and that the bureaucratic b.s. is left out of it this time around.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Additional Processing

Don't be worried.  I recently got my case # from NVC and they said that it was still in administrative processing, meaning that they still are working on entering your information into the system.  If you check this website, https://ceac.state.g...er/Status.aspx? you can check the status of your case to see when it gets shipped.  Also, keep calling if you are truly concerned.  A lot of people had this concern though, and it's just NVC protocol to say such things.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVermont Service Center Wait Time
So I just received my NOA1 today and visajourney has projected an early August NOA2 date for the Vermont Service Center. I'm sure I'm just being impatient...but this wait is going to kill me. How correct are these projection dates, and is there anything at all that one can do to speed it up? Probably a hopeless case, but I'm just wondering. If anyone has any stories about their Vermont Service Center experience, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I know that this topic was brought up before, I was just wondering how one goes about finding out where the petition is now?  My I-129f was transferred today.  It was at VSC...should I assume it's now at CSC? Anyone have any concrete explanation as to why, and what the transfer entails?  Thanks in advance!

Hello all! I received an email that my fiance petition was approved. Unfortunatley, I'm not as on the ball as I should have been.  I haven't started collecting the 134 information yet....AND I'm uninformed on what to fill out if I have a sponsor.  PLEASE HELP! Also, what should my fiance be doing?  He is in Ghana (police report/immunizations)?...about how long does it take between the approval and the interview date?
