K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhich step is this in the timeline

They sent your case to the NVC... call them up in a week or two and ask for your new case number, they'll process it and prepare it and send it to your embassy.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSo much stress...

My fiance and I got engaged in February and we sent our K1 packet in March... he shipped off to US Boot Camp from my house in England in April and graduated in August... we got our NOA2 July 23rd so we were ready for the next big step and ready to get married. However, the Army have screwed him over. We were relying on his monthly paychecks while he was in Boot Camp to get married with, but they screwed him over and messed up his paychecks bla bla bla... so now we're waiting on my interviews and medicals etc to be sorted and he is BUGGING OUT. He has anxiety issues, as does his mom. I'm here in the USA at his parents' house and they're arguing on the phone every night, both shouting and I'm here stuck in the middle... his mom tells him (out of anxiety) she doesn't think everything will work. So of course that sends him off on an anxiety attack and I'm left to bring them both back to reality and pick up the pieces (which I dont mind cause i love them both to bits.) However, now, he has it in his head that we need to get married before he gets a car which is plain stupid in my opinion, since he has no way of picking me up from the airport when i go to marry him etc, if he has no car. I told him we need to wait 2-3 months after my visa is issued in order for us to be set financially (as military housing comes with no furniture.. great.) But because of his talk with his mom, he is refusing to wait, and he is fearing he could be deployed to war before we get married which will screw up everything. It's all one big mess and as soon as I seem to have found a solution, a million and one problems pop up and I have to work around it and start all over again. So my question is, how long after my visa is issued do we have to get married? And if I state at my interview we have no date etc would this lessen my chances of being approved? Please help as I am at breaking point...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRFE !!! need help vermont service center

It depends whether it is an RFE for either 1. proving your relationship together, or 2. proving that you have met in person in the last two years. If its number 1, pictures, birth certificates as you stated and any letters, emails or calls. However if its 2. and you haven't seen each other in the last two years then you have a problem as this is a main requirement. Good luck with your process :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAge Difference and Kids,How much does it Matter
My dear,if you believe on own self that you both have a truthful relationship,Then everything will work itself out......regardless of what comes up....but if you is not true,don't bother coming to Lagos consulate for interview...they are trained very well to know when people fake up relationship for immigration benefit or so and i don't see things the way most people see it when it comes to US embassy here in Lagos....Most European and Asian and some south American counties claim that Nigeria is a very high fraud country when it comes to visa issues.....(Quote.....Not fighting against that).......... and becus of that,there is high denial of visa or whatever but the fact is that when you check the last couple of months here in Vj page....Lagos Consulate issue visas even more than this countries that claims that they are better......

So,just be yourself and believe on your own relationship becus if is true,it will work out for you both in one way or the other.....But If at the end of the day,you were not able to travel to be with her in US,then you both can still get married and you be in Nigeria,Then she can be coming to visit you and staying with you as much as she can.....And continue hoping and believing God that someday you both can be in one roof forever...

But is good you ask questions pertaining your relationship in Vj....the will give you the best advice ever and still yet,they ar some that will keep reminding you that you have a whole lot of red flag yourself just for the fact that you ar from Nigeria....and dont let them get you weak,Just be strong and take the ones you want and let others go.....

On your question.....My fiancee is is 32 and am 29 and to us,it dose not matter and we don't see it as anything becus we ar very much in love and when we play,people around us will say that we play like 10 years old kids and yet we ar not.....so even if she is 100 and you are 70,the question is it really a true relationship.....or not.....if it is....Prove it to them at the Consulate.....they will give you document to go be with her......she has kids or not.....it dose not matter.....the question remains ....is that what you really want for yourself in life.....then if so....prove it and then you are good..............Well on religion...the question is ....Would you both cope with having difference religion and belief and still be able to live in peace....if so...you ar good

Finally.....This all that you need to clarify for the Consulate and you will be alright....Just be true to yourself becus if not.....you will waste heal lot of money that you labored for and end up with nothing at the end becus they are very much trained to ascertain which and which is true when it comes to a relationship....Thats why they are left to make such decisions....and of course paid for...

Wish you best in your Journey...............

Your case number starts with the 3 letter abbreviation for the consulate that will be handling your case.  Theirs is going through Rio de Janeiro so RDJ.  Ours is going through Amsterdam so ours is AMS.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsYour interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center - ?

We're so thankful to God that we've now moved from USCIS to NVC and now they've sent our application on to the Sydney Consulate. But I'm puzzled by NVC's notification: 

 

'Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center.'

 

Can someone help us: have NVC already talked to the Sydney Consulate and decided our interview date? I haven't sent any packet 3 documents to them yet.

Checked my case status yesterday, and I noticed they have just mailed out an RFE. I included everything on the K-1 Visajourney Guide that was required...I don't understand what else they could be asking for. This is my 2nd time filing a K-1, the last being almost 5 years ago with my ex...but we got divorced last year. I wonder if they want a bigger statement from me about what happened with the last relationship?

I'm not sure why they are sending me this because I included plane ticket stubs, hotel receipts, passport stamps, photos of us together, etc. The only thing I didn't do was write an attached paper on the circumstances of how we met. What exactly do I need to write in that section? And is there anything else I should include?
