K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFINALLY! NOA2

Finally 8 days before hitting 6 months of our petition being sent I received the long waited text and email. We were approved!!! I had just emailed the director of service center operations and chief of staff earlier today. Dont know if it was that or reaching out to our congressman and senator, the email or just our turn. Doesn't matter at this point just happy this part is over.

To the TSC December, January and February filers its coming soon. Get on their case, call, email and get your senator involved. You dont lose anything by doing it.

Best of luck to all!!




Now wait 3 or 4 months for interview date.
Maybe october or november, your fiance will go to usa before me jijijiji I am still on ap.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsds 160 k1 visa can we fill it out early?
Yes there is one space where you put the case number and in another line you put uscis number.
Embasdy send the letter by mail, but sometimes letter doesnt arrive on time. So one month before interview you e-mail the consulate and they will e-mail the letter , he print it and with that he can make the medical and pay at banco popular.
The petitioner get the same letter almost all the time petitioner get the letter before beneficiary.
Once you know your case number from nvc, you can ee-mail the consulate at santo domingo and ask for your interview date, knowing the interview date , if you see that your fiance hasnt received the letter , e-mail them one month before interview.
For medical exam he needs 3 pictures and for consulate 2.



IlovemymanFemaleDominican Republic2014-08-06 19:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsds 160 k1 visa can we fill it out early?
Yes you need case number and uscis number.
To fil out the ds-160 you need his passport , his cedula( natinal id).
There is one part in the form where you are going to put all the information at the bio-page in the passport also the cedula number.
If you have that you can star to fill out the form, remember that you can save the form only for 30 days, if you dont print it in 30 days you need start another one.
Ds-160 can be fill out once you know the case number, but it isnt necesary fill our early.
I filed out mine 15 days before interview.
You need fil out the form carefully, he on the phone I dont know if that works because that can give both you stress. If you are going to be here one week before interview you can help him to fill out here, ds-160 can be fill out days before interview , there isnt a timeline for it.
Good luck ,

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 approved but Administrative Processing ????
I agree, and some people have 3, 4 , 5 years in,ap.
Why take so long?
Doesnt usa have the capacity to make a background check in months?
One thing is sure, they volate the rights of people in ap long time, because they dont tell why is the ap.
I know some people that after live legaly at usa with working visas or students visas, having houses, family, children etc, they go to their home country to renew their visas and they are put in ap long time, some of this people losse their jobs, even houses, because they put peoole long time in ap, it is look like they dont want that they want that people losse everything and no come back to usa.
Another thing is sure usa capacity to know the lives of people around the world with tecnologies, and secret agencies is well known, so I dont understand why do that to peoole and destroy lives

So why is it that some people are in AP for a week and others wait weeks, months, even years? It just doesn't make sense and is extremely ridiculous. It doesn't take a year to do a background check. Honestly!









IlovemymanFemaleDominican Republic2014-08-10 02:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 approved but Administrative Processing ????

I know they have t be careful with people thatvthey let go to usa. But they have a lot tecnologic nowdays to know who is who.
I know about similar names or alias, but fingerprints aren the same, each people have diferent fingerprints.
Put people in ap for years only show they are ineficient doing their job, usa have a lot tecnology to spy people around the world and know their lives in one second.
With ap they like torture people and violate the rights of family to be together.
In my case never I havent been arrested, or havent criminals records, I am teacher in my country, and never never I havent participate in nothing wrong, so why torture to me and my fiance with this stupi ap?

Blame people who love to bombing. I knew one member here got approval after almost 5 years under AP. No one need to blame but terrorists. Do you know how many people used same names especially for those who link to terrorism? Using many alias? Do you know there was an innocent person had went through long security background check because his name similar to the famous terrorist? If it was easy to find information, then why it took years before they finally found Osama bin Laden?

No matter how resentful I was after my B-2 visa got denied at the US embassy in Jakarta but I have to admit this is the only way to prevent terrorists come to the US and destroyed the country. Terrorists activities destroyed countries including my country and I won't let them have free way to come and do whatever they want.









IlovemymanFemaleDominican Republic2014-08-09 00:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 approved but Administrative Processing ????

The "reason" for AP is checking that the beneficiary is not a terrorist, nor has links to terrorism.


I know that , but why take so long?
There are people in ap for years.
They dont have the competance to do their job shortly?
That show that they dont have capacity to work.
I know one person in ap for 4 years and seven months, in that time they can find the informations from all people around the world.

It is terrible be on ap long time. I hope your ap be by the delays at the data base.

 
 
Thank you! but they already took my passport away the day on my interview. and specific told me " We will put the visa on your passport and send it back to you " ... but I am still super worry abt how long this "AP" gonna take..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 approved but Administrative Processing ????

My fiance had his interview on April 1, 2014 and was approved.  they took his passport and asked him to return in 7 days for his passport.  When he returned they said it wasn't ready yet.  I checked the site only to find out that we are in AP.  Today April 8th makes it exactly 4 months we are in AP, and this is well before the "glitch".  So I would encourage you to be patient.  US embassies advises that we do not make any flight plans until we receive the passport in hand.  I pray you get through in the name of Jesus.


I dont understand why they do that, they approved and then put in ap, without a reason.
At least they must tell us why we are in ap.

I am 4 months in ap next 24 it will be 5 months.
I have met person here who are in ap years, 1, 2 , 3, , 4 and 5 years !!!!!!!!!!!
I was surprice of that but yes I have spoken with them, and they say that they dont know why ap but they are waiting years.

Well, I dont want worry you, maybe you are in ap by the data base problem, there many delays cause of that, maybe they sent you back the passport for the delay.
About flight , never book a flight before have the visa in hand.
Here is my history: I had my interviw on march 18 , everything was good , I was approved without problem, I dont have criminals records, I dont have justice problems or police problem.
They approved me, and took my passport and I paid the delivery servise for passport.
On march 24 I was put in ap, I though that was going to be short, but I am here waiting my passport with the visa, now it is 4 months that they have my passport and they no say nothing.
The vad thing when they put you in ap is that they dont give any information, only they say just wait
And realy we can do nothing, onky wait.
I hope that you be lucky and they call you to drop the passport to consulate soon and they issued the visa soon.
Until they dont ask you by the passport dont wait that your status will change to issued, they need the passport to issue the visa.
I hope that they call you soon
While just wait, and dont be crazy, here there are people waiting months, years on ap.

Hi everyone, 
 
I went to my interview on july 31th, and I got approved the same day, also they took my passport. and when I check CEAC status on Aug 1st, It was on "Ready". but I know it takes few days to put the visa on and send me passport back. but today Aug 7th, I check on CEAC again, and the status changed to the "Administrative Processing". I freak out a lot. Me and my fiance searching on web and VJ and see a lot of ppl had same experiences to this. and no one can say the exactly time of how long it should be "issued". 
 
I know there is some problems of the technical visa issue of the USA lately, can someone tell me please is this why the " Administrative Processing " so long? because it got effect by the problems?
 
Can someone please tell me or share if you have the same experiences, Thank you!!! ...cause we already book my flight ticket on Sep 22nd,  the day they told me visa approved, and same as my family, they wanna go see my court wedding . and everything just been planed as soon as I know my visa is approved.
 
I am really worry to sick now  :crying:

E-mail them they will send by e-mail, the inerview coming in one month, so they will send the packet electrinic, your fiance print it and go to pay at banco popular and do the medical.
Congratulations.

Came back on Wed from trip number 19 and hoped to see the updated interview list with our date possibly already assigned. Checked Thursday...still nothing. Today I called the NVC and State dept w no luck. So I called the embassy and spent 7 of the best USD I have ever spent. They told me we have a,date!!!! It's on Sept 18!!!! Omg omg omg omg I was so incredibly happy and I'm only more so tonight. My fiance is totally happy that soon soon soon we can be together.
My only concern is it's in four weeks. the medical should be done in 3weeks before. We still don't have the appointment letter. Nothing in hard copy nothing via email. How long does it take to receive in DR? (Either hard copy or email or both??) Is this 2 page document the packet 4?????

I have had to wait almost 5 months for mine . I saw one the other day that was approved in 17 days . Why some are faster than others who knows I sure don't . Just be patient because inpatients will drive you nuts and cause problems in your relationship .


Excellent advise, patient is all in this process
Without patience the relationship can down

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCommon lease very important?

Sorty guys, i probably posted in wrong category. Im on J1 visa so it is a legal work, I pay taxes from it.
Just wanted to know if shared lease is very important and if i dont atacht it they will ask me for RFE?


Ok , sorry because i thought you were a k1 holder .

IlovemymanFemaleDominican Republic2014-09-07 18:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCommon lease very important?

Is the shared lease contract a necessary for AOS? I already have joint account and phone plan together. We currently dont live together ( only for the weekends) as i work as an au pair and my contract requires to live with the host family. i am going to move in straight after gettting married, however, as soon I get our marriage certificate I want send everything in. Its hard to ad me to the lease as my visa expires 2 months after I get married, plus we are planning to look for a new place after marriage so we dont know how long we gonna stay there.
Do you think I would be ok with joint bank account, phone, and auto insurance proof on both names?


Another thing,are you working without work permit?
k1 without do the aos cant work.
Are you working ilegaly?
You want have problem with aos?
You say in your post you havent gotten married yet and that you are working, so tgat mean you are working ilegaly.





IlovemymanFemaleDominican Republic2014-09-07 05:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCommon lease very important?
I am sure you will ok with those you have.
About your visa, k1 is expired once you enter to usa.
The time that you see on the visa is tge time that you have to enter to usa.
For example, if you got your passport in your country on january, on the visa says that expire on june.
That means that you have to enter to usa until june, but one at usa the visa is invalid, if enter on february the visa is invalid.
So your visa doesnt expire in 2 months , is invalid from the day you arrived to usa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFinally Got an Interview Date!!

Thanks for the info, but doesn't the medical have to be current at least within two weeks b4 the interview?

Anyway, we hadn't even received the email yet and the interview is still not showing up on the cita list. Maybe it's because it's not until November.


Congratulations for your interview date.
E-mail the consulate asking for interview date, they will send you an e-mail with the beneficiary name and interview date on it, that is the packet 4, with that e-mail he print it and pay at banco popular ,and do medical.
Medical has to be done at least 3 weeks before interview, no before, he cant do medical one month before.
Remember that he need go to the medical and go back to pick up the results.
For that is good go 3 weeks before and go back to pick up the results.
Ds-160 can be fill out any time.
If your fiance wants he can fill out now, and keep the confimation page.
I filled out my ds-160 one month before interview.
