That's exciting news for CSC April filers! Perhaps we should all prepare, or was there an expedite on your case? According to VJ I still have about 30 days before I receive an update.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved after less than 3 months!

I think they skipped a box -.- 
 
Anyway, gratz!


Yikes, It kind if seems that way. Although, we all have this belief that petitions go in and out in the exact same order. I hope that for those who have waited longer than me that the wait will soon come to an end. We didn't have an RFE, so perhaps that is a reason why it was processed so quickly!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC forwards case to consulate
Hi VJers,

I know this might sound like a silly question, but I cannot find the answer!! I called DoS a few days ago and a woman told me the our case has been sent electronically to London, and they would receive it soon. I checked my status on the DoS website this afternoon, and it is saying 'in transit', which makes me think it was sent through the post. Does anyone know how NVC sends the cases?

Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFeb 2013 Filer Approved!!!

Hi eject

So it took only 8 days to get the NVC number for booking your medical i got approved 29th and was planning on calling them up next week. Now I know a realistic time frame to wait. Thanks for the info, it's very helpful. Have you manage to book your medical with night ridge docs yet. I understand appointments are two weeks wait.
Congrats eagles. All the waiting finally paid off. Glad the senator was able to help.



Hello!! Let me clarify some things--
2 weeks ago, we received our NOA2. 8 days from that, NVC was able to provide me with a case number. Once I knew they had my case, I waited for our status on te DoS website to say 'in transit', which took four days. Then, I had my fiancé book his medical with the Knightbridge doctors. That was two days ago that he did that, and they scheduled him for 15 days later, August 14.

Woo hoo!! Congratulations! That's great! dancin5hr.gif

 

I am not sure how China deals with interviews, or what they require- you should jump over to that forum!!

 

As for your case number, I got mine from NVC after 8 days, so I definitely wouldn't wait two weeks!! Especially if you want to book a medical exam soon!

 

Best of luck on the rest of your journey!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNAO2 approval email...how do I track progress now?

Forgive my ignorance, I have tried searching to find the answer!

 

Rather than wait for the hard copy to arrive, now we know we are approved I read in the forums of people saying they have seen that the paperwork has been sent to NVC and when it is sent on to London. Can someone tell me how I can find this please? 

 

We are hoping for a Thanksgiving wedding and I have already downloaded and completed all the forms needed for London, have my Police certificate and vaccinations.....when can I start the ball rolling and call someone to get a case number, and know that my case is on its way to London so I can book an interview for my medical??!!

 

Thank you so much, - so excited today after 171 day wait for approval! smile.png

Congratulations!! Call NVC within the next week!! My NOA2 was July 17, and I had a LND# 8 days later! Then, since you already have the police certificate, you may book the medical to get another step out of the way.

 

Personally, I waited until the DoS status said 'in transit' before I had my fiance book his medical in London, just to make sure our documents would get paired up once our case gets to the embassy. My fiance just booked the medical today, and currently there is a 15 day wait, so I would like to think that is plenty of time for them to receive and process our case!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHELP MY CASE HAS GONE MISSING

Im waiting to book mine... how longs the waiting?

I was advice not to book anything till i get my package

 

 

I don't think there is a problem with booking the medical before the consulate sends you the letter that they have your case. I did have my fiance wait until our case's status on the DoS website said 'in transit'-I assume by the time his medical comes around, the embassy will have had our case for awhile. I suppose I am being a bit risky, but I am assuming that by the time Jake has his medical (August 14th) he will have heard something from the embassy. Jake called to book his medical this morning, and asked for the earliest appointment available, and the best they could give him was August 14th, 15 days from now. I actually don't think that is too bad! 

So, it looks like 2 weeks, give or take a few days, is the wait time!

 

Do you have your police certificate yet? That took a little longer than expected, so I would advise that you get that done now if you have not already!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHELP MY CASE HAS GONE MISSING

My case still exists as looked it up on my account with the USCIS for email confirmation so its not gone missing im just panicking I guess. Fingers crossed its just being reviewed or something like yours was and will hear something in next couple of days if not will get Christina to call them. U booked your medical yet?


I hope you hear something!! From the looks of your timeline, it is very similar to mine. If I were you, I'd prepare for an approval!!
My fiancé booked his medical today. We waited for the DoS case status to say 'in transit'. Currently, there is a 15 day wait, which is actually pretty good, I think!!

Good luck to you- I really hope you know something soon!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHELP MY CASE HAS GONE MISSING
I don't want to give you any false hope, but my case said that for two days straight, and I was approved on the third day. I'm not sure what it means, if anything. It probably is just a coincidence that my NOA2 came, but who knows!!
emyardyFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-07-30 18:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUSCIS to NVC?
I filed with CSC and NVC received our case and had a case number available 8 days after NOA2. I'm not sure if Vermont moves at the same speed when it comes to mailing cases to NVC. I am sure someone here will know!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports1-129f approved. Waiting for case number

Congrats!!! I'm so stoked for all of us


Congratulations to you, too!! Do you have the police certificate, yet? If so, I would definitely suggest booking the medical as soon as your file says 'in transit' on the DoS website. My fiancé said he asked for the next open appointment, and the earliest date available was 15 days away. So, in 15 days, I am sure the consulate will have our case as it says 'in transit'! :) good luck to you!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports1-129f approved. Waiting for case number

We received NOA2 approval July 20th (ill be attending London also!), can I ask how you found out it was sent to London? Who did you call?
Appreciate it, thanks!


Of course you may ask!! I called NVC a week after my NOA2 to get my LND#, and they didn't have it, but then I called the next day, and t was there. Be aware- the hold time is forever!! Then I waited for the DoS website to show that our case is in transit to the embassy, which was yesterday, and my fiancé booked his medical today. Overall, I found DoS to be a lot more helpful than NVC.

The part that says they sent it to the listed consulate just means that they'll send it to NVC. Give it a couple more days. Yours was only approved 4 days ago and mine took 8 days to get there.

I hope my Swede and I get our approval soon! Started all of this last October!
 


Last October??! That was nearly a year ago!! Have you tried calling about it? If you have and nothing has happened, you should absolutely call your congressman! Make them look into it! I cannot think of any reason why you should wait this long for yor application to be looked over when others are being approved in such short timeframes now. I wish you well!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved K1 sent direct to Consulate from Texas Service Centre

I have never heard of a case going straight to the embassy. Are you sure that this is what happened? Of course, I know that if this is the case, someone else on here will say if this has happened before or not. As for the embassy, do not forget that there are quite a few steps to take before you can receive an interview date. The embassy will let you know if they have your case by sending you a letter with a link to the DS forms.. You also need a police certificate, and you'll need to have a medical exam booked, as well, for which you will need your LND number.

 

I think the embassy is taking quite some time now to schedule interviews, so you should have plenty of time to get all that stuff done if you haven't already.

Cloudnine, have you tried calling USCIS to talk to someone? Tier 2, perhaps?? If you have and nothing has come of it, you should make use of your congressman/woman. They can sometimes light a fire under someone's booty!!

 

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports200+ days and counting, NOA2 please?

 

My I-129F for fiance visa was filed 02/05/13. We passed the 5-month mark on July 5th. I submitted an e-request for Outside Normal Processing Time on July 29th. A couple weeks afterwards, I received an email reply from USCIS. The email contained nothing that we didn't already know, receipt number, filing date, approximate processing times. A completely useless email, except for mentioning to wait another 45 days before calling customer service. I called the phone number for more information today, but again, received no information except confirmation of e-request, and to wait 45 days for further assistance.

It has been 204 days since the first NOA approval. My fiance lives in Tunisia.

Is there any advice anyone has to offer? Is this normal waiting time? How much longer should this process take? Does anyone have any other contact information they would be willing to share?

 

Also, we were in the batch that was transferred to Texas Service Center in June. Orignally our case was in Vermont Service Center.

 

Thanks for any advice. The wait is horrible....

 

 

I completely agree with Sheepwalk..

 

Your congress people are in office to serve you, so put them to work!! It is sad that there are so many people still waiting for 5 months + when so many of us are receiving a NOA2 in record time. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHelp! How soon after DS 2001 is letter received usually? My fiance is very worried.

Hi,
My fiance is worried because his DS 2001 was received by the embassy Aug, 27; but, he hasn't received ANY letter about his interview date yet. He was wondering when to expect a letter, because its already been over a week. He also wanted to know if he would receive a call, email, or just the letter. Thanks so much, please respond he's quite worried.


Do you mean that the embassy has actually logged the forms, as in you have talked to DoS and they have said that the embassy has received your file?

Or do you mean that you know the embassy received it because it was sent with a tracking number when you mailed it?

Currently, I am at week 4 for sending my papers, and there the DS-2001 has not been logged, so my fiancé is still ineligible for an interview. There are a lot of us in this situation, and unfortunately there is nothing we can really do about it!

Good luck to you!

Well look at that!! That's good news!!

For future reference, if you find they are moving at slower speeds than they allot for, get ahold of your congressman! I haven't personally used mine, but I know that they can sometimes get the ball rolling if it is stuck!


Good luck! Looking forward to seeing your updates!
