K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVermont July Filers!

That was really helpful, thanks dsp! I saw the average for noa2 to uk interview was running at 56 days, gosh if thats true it'd be awesome.



I just want to note that not every embassy works this way. Some embassy's has the petitioner doing the medical right before the interview. For example for napoli, they schedule the medical for you the day before your interview. SO pelase check the embassy's before you schedule the medical.

NVC sent the petition to London last Thursday. I called NVC last week and got our case number, so he's going to call Knightsbridge Doctors and set up the medical ASAP. Here's a helpful link about the medical when your time comes (soon, soon, soon): http://photos.state....18a_medical.pdf

He's waiting for Packet 3 from the Embassy; we've got all forms and documentation ready to go.

I've been looking to see if there is any way to track a K1 case after it leaves the States.... no luck. Anybody know if there is a way to check the status after the paperwork gets to the Embassy in London? ...or how long it takes for the actual interview once the Packet 3 materials are returned?

Actually my k-1 petition was approved as of last week my NOA2 date is jan21. We don't get CASE NUMBERS from the Uscis. We get case numbers from the NVC. The USCIS issues "receipt numbers"

gotcha

Got our case number today!. Does anybody know how long the NVC is actually taking to send them to the respective embassies???



Are you going for a k-1 fiance visa? If so your next step is a noa2 which means they appoved your petition. VSC is average about 5-8 months before the NOA2 is sent to you. There seems to be an averge of 6 months for some here.

You have to sign up for case updates. On the case status page will be a single box with your info, one of the columns says 'last updated', if it differs from your noa1 date, that means it was touched. Touched literally means last time someone touched your file, for any number of reasons, most are benign. If you sign up for email updated you are sometimes notified of this without having to check. People start paying attention to touches near their expected noa2 date, since they figure their file is being looked at.


I'm expecting mine this week coming, it makes sense with the dates of other approvals here and people in my group. If it doesn't come then we shall be requesting/writing some letters/going insane.


ahhhhhh okay I see well. I find it interested that I KNOW my file was touched but its not noted there. I know because I called my senator to understand the process more. They called the Vermont center and they pulled my file AND said they had it but could not expedite it any quicker unless there was an emergency. There isnt an emergency unless you consider a broken heart because I miss my love. So I guess it goes both ways...they could touchg it but not update that on your case status page....

THANK YOU

See these threads pop up often about first come first serve,

I look at the fast approval petitions and almost all of them are military expedites, so if you want a faster approval go join the Army. Otherwise sit here like the rest of us and wait, wait some more, keep waiting, call, call again, get told to wait some more, contact Congressman, get no results, wait some more, call again, info pass, wait, and keep on waiting. Then after all of that, APPROVAL

who doesnt? :lol:


True, but most people "fall in love" and hope they marry someone financial and emotionally secure. Chinese woman put the falling in love part way way down the timeline.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOur K-1 was denied in Guangzhou

You can't honestly think that she is attracted to you in a husband/wife type of way. You obviously are to her - but she is 23!! She doesn't need to be married to someone that is old enough to be her grandfather. Let her go and let her find someone that is her own age and you do the same.

Best of luck.


You need a better understanding of other Cultures, given 38 year difference is a stretch, but in China it is extrmemely rare that a woman marries any man Chinese or foriegn that is not older then her. Most cases even between Chinese are 5-10 years plus.
Chinese women are not wrapped up in ages and looks, they want security financially and they want to feel safe in their lives. Most western cultures look for love first when it comes to relationships, for Chinese they look for security and the love comes later.

To the OP: Being one that is very familiar with Guangzhou and the battle it takes, your only real option is to go to China, marry then file spouse visa. It will be royal pain and it will take a long time to complete but if it is what you really want, then the wait is worth the end result. Just do not expect anything to happen fast.

What is going on with VSC????They are working very slow, my case will be completing 5 months this months and i haven't hear nothing from them yet, no touch at all.I don't know what to do.Our lawyer said we just have to wait until 6 months until we try to do something about it.We are so upsad about this K1 process, they really don't care about people's feeling, Come on VSC officer lets work, holiday's season is OVER.there are people's life that depends of you guys.I tried to call them this morning and all they say is that we have to wait.There is anyone else in the same situation??




I am in the same situation as you are my friend. I also passed the 5 months and still without any touches or NOA2. I too tried calling without any success, it seems to me that they just read off the same thing that is written on USCIS website. I am like you frustrated and tired of this game. Like you i agree that they do not see the lives they are playing with. They do not see us like people with families who are counting everyday when we would see our love ones. We are just applications to them. There working ethics are pathetic, they are slow, they do not communicate with us when we have concerns and many other reasons. I hope that something new happens with the immigration system, because at this state its unacceptable the way they operate.



I will join the group. Still waitting and no results. I think i got addicted to uscis website. I do check it like 10 times a day.

We have the same timeline and when i talked to level two guy today he found it to be normal. He told me its withing time limit. I asked if he can transfer me somewhere and say he couldn't. I even explain to him how came some people got approved and he said it depends on the case. Which all of us have the same case. Do they keep truck of the people when we call them??


somehow level 2 guy knew that someone was working on my petition, or he was just Bsing and guessed right...

Everything will be fine! I think our timeline is almost the same

i've already sent a letter to senator Barbara Boxer, not sure if this will do anything...



We're on the same timeline. I sent mine on the 3rd...letters to senators already in the mail! If you read what the former UCIS worker said, it does work. At least you'll get a touch! My letter was more focused "I think they lost it" because it's been sitting there for months, people who filed a month after me are approved and their timeline states they're working on MARCH. I also said we're funding plenty of PORK so it's reasonable to the people to request necessary services be available...and by the way, we have the slowest timeline of the developed countries! UK and other countries ate 60 days and such and these UCIS idiots are telling me to feel OK with waiting a YEAR before I worry? Sorry, I pay too many taxes...stop the pork, fund UCIS and necessary citizen support, then do your damn pork projects!

Of course my letter was kind and professional but I pointed out VJ's statistics (they're NOT working on March as stated) and UCIS purposefully misleading the public and lack of transparency....given it takes 15 minutes to complete a K-1 application, they need to be staffed or they need to be more efficient/accountable but a file sitting "just because" is unacceptable! We're not a poor country! Get some damn workers in there so files aren't sitting for 6 months only because of lack of a few staff? And we're playing around blowing billions exploring space (what a HUGE WASTE OF MONEY) What in the hell are we doing on Mars? What about our own COUNTRY! Sometimes I really dislike my own country for sheer idiocy!

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 months are unacceptable! Were a rich country who can afford to kill millions of people, why not help its own citizens for once? Geez don't get me going!


Is there anyway you can send me a copy of the mail that you send to the senator because i want to do the same but i'm not sure what to include in there. Thank you and i really do appreciate it. Thanks to anybody alse who can help.

At this point most everyone is still in the same position as you, there have been maybe 15 or so august filers approved so far but it's only the beginning, they literally just started approving august filers (that we know of) last friday, in theory they should be working on august petitions for almost a month total... so don't panic yet... but feel free to whine about your NOA2 until it finally does show up... like the rest of us!
