K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	Hey I have a question for anyone who did a small/courthouse wedding and are doing a bigger one later on - did you exchange rings at your first/legal wedding? Or just sign the papers? I'm trying to figure out if we need to buy rings soon, or if we have a few months! (Legal wedding will be 01/01/13, as long as POE goes smoothly before Christmas, big wedding is 05/18/13) It varies from county to county...In Texas no rings, witnesses etc. are required just the two of you and somebody with license to marry	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-11-07 08:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	Hi all...long time...Anyhow, I’d guess majority of us from here are now inundated in AOS stuff...do we continue to stay and post here or we go elsewhere (not sure if clogging the forum with AOS stuff would be appropriate) so I started a new topic http://www.visajourn.../397602-k1-aos/ ... just to keep Jan Filers continuum Oh and yes-we are married too	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-11-01 07:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	How are things with you sir? Long time no see Hey NOW!! I know it has been a while...All is well...Ever since I came back I’ve been slammed at work and just doing paperwork and all kinds of errands kept me busy last month or so...Well, we got married two days ago and now we are getting ready to file AOS paperwork...It seems fairly straight forward but in any case we are together and here -nothing else matters Congrats on the approval and visa in hand now get packin' and start dreamin'	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-09-28 11:51:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	Thank you guys!!! Approved!!!! Will write a proper review later but had a really good experience, no problems, very nice interviewer who asked the usual things (how we met, whether i wanted to work in US, if we'd spent much time with each others families, when our wedding was planned for). I was wiping away tears when she said i was approved and she said "stop it, or i'll start too!". Called Andrew to tell him and I'm pretty sure he will need to be told all over again when he actually wakes up, i think he was sleep-skyping! Thank you for all your support, jan filers, you all rock I don't think it's sunk in yet but right now i'm gonna have a big glass of irish champagne (TEA!) xxxx Wonderfull news congrats ....Great way to start a week...Lets hope for more good news!!!	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-07-30 07:42:00

Welcome to the great state of Texas:) Now y'all enjoy it:)	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-07-26 21:25:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	Not to call anybody out, but I wish our veteran VJ members would return and start actively posting again. I know a lot of them do, which is much appreciated, but I'm thinking particularly the member who had a nice chat with the VSC Director (pinned topic) and had a friend who is an adjudicator. Maybe they could have shed light on what's happening at VSC, but alas they have gone inactive. That's too bad Maybe this can help a bit...It is common knowledge but hey..hang in there Increased number of H1B visas + understaffed/untrained service center employees = delays in VSC.... if you want to read more... Last years conference but it can be applied to this year too.. http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Outreach/Notes%20from%20Previous%20Engagements/2011/April%202011/AILA%20_040711.pdf Edited by sparclight, 24 July 2012 - 03:57 PM.	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-07-24 15:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	Well unfortunately I can't chase those people as I am the beneficiary and Terry feels bad chasing and ringing those people all the time. I don't know why but I just can't convince him its ok since we are customers... So he is giving up pretty quickly... All they tell him, he just accepts it as a fact when I am getting more frustrating each time i hear their excuses... All we can do is wait in that case unfortunately. We have sent the papers to the senator last night, so will ask Terry to give them a ring tomorrow to see if they got them amd what can they do for us... Feel free to chase them..they are elected and they are suppose to serve their constituencies....You will more than likely ended up talking to a staffer...but at least it will bring their attention to a particular (your) case...Immigration is not the highest on their priority list but pleasing any potential voter prior to November this year counts:) Good luck!!	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-07-24 11:25:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	all I want to do on Fridays is cry... I hate weekends... and specially today, what a sad day! It's 10 pm here and I will be going to sleep disappointed again... 6 months worth of tears, I'd say I cried a river already and it might be an ocean by the time we are approved... It is tough...I felt the same not so long ago...but , God works mysterious ways...Everything id going to be beautiful...You'll see..and once you get your NOA2...everything shifts from snail like pace to lightning fast.... Head up...	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-07-20 15:59:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	Well, I just checked, they sent us an RFE today.. I can't stop crying... Wow, so much for wanting my file looked at. Hey...head up...It is probably something super simple and you should get your NOA2 with in a few weeks now...I've seen many getting NOA2s within a few weeks from RFE	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-07-19 09:10:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	I decided to give it a shot a called NVC...To my surprise they received it, they gave me the SAR case number and told me it is going to be forwarded to the embassy shortly after they are done with it...and she said now it's just matter of days...the long wait is over....Since she was so nice I asked her about the delays we were/are experiencing at VSC....She did not want to elaborate much but stated that VSC is under a lot of pressure due to the higher than usual visa volume....anyhow...at least they are aware so hopeful they are doing something to fix it...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	Interestingly enough my timeline keeps moving...In the last two days it has moved forward but I am still past it...Initially was May 28 to June 6th, a few days ago June 12th, yesterday was June 19th...today June 22nd...what do ya know but it looks like they are adding days...	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-06-26 21:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	Talked to my atty yesterday...he just mentioned that H1B quota for this year is already reached and that likely added some extra processing times to all other visa types they process in Vermont...Plus they are severely understaffed...so, in other words, sit tight, prey the Lord and try not to sweat much.... Sucks but hey, nothing we can do...C'est la vie....	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-06-26 07:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	No pessimistic just realistic with what we have seen so far, does not mean i'm not hoping that this mess will get fix soon hope is a beautiful thing and keep us sane but it does no good to close our eyes on what is really going on either... YESSS...oh, and for all it matters, Jan VJ filers are almost 50% with NOA2s...	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-06-25 10:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	Made the call. USCIS VSC is still reporting 1/09....No service requests can be input at this time. So no change from last week. They are a powerful force. Basically they can suppress our service requests as long as they want. Until they update that date, we can't doing anything about it...This sucks.. And it seems that they update timeline once a month just like on the website...around 15th of the month...what is sad, is that it's for the month before....so in other words, timeline is already obsolete and inaccurate...but FU@# 'em -- we will persevere!!!	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-06-25 10:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	end of July??? have you heard of a power of positive thinking? by venting you won't make things moving unfortunately.. I mean we are here to listen and help each other but we are also here to help each other stay positive and to give some sort of hope! Have you contacted your congress person? rang USCIS and ask for the service request? yessss....positive thoughts only...If you are a downer or pessimist no need to post Hey we are all in the same boat and end of June is going to be GRAND for all of us!!!!	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-06-25 09:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	Just talked to Vermont DisService Center(VDSC) and got same scripted answers as on Monday...I guess tehy really are updated once a week...so maybe next week we'll know more.... Oh, and my timeline shifted from originaly being "Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated betweenMay 28th and June 6th" to June 9th and June 19th...ah well it is past that date too	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-06-22 12:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	As a date, the 9th makes no sense though. We've seen approvals at the end of the month and into February, so I'm not sure I believe they're still working on January 9th. Probably they chose that date because it's the last petition they approved from the beginning of the month. I think they want to avoid service requests. I sent off my form to my senator a few minutes ago, though I probably won't hear anything back until Monday. Oh I know, that is their scripted answer and they update it about twice a month...so for sure they are at least working the 9th...No method to the maddnes...	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-06-21 14:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	today so far: 1x RFE January 10 2x approvals January 12 and that's all Hey at least we are past the 9th...tomorrow is the day...I know it...I can smell it...NOA2 is happening tomorrow...(that would be absolutely the best birthday present I can ask for)	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-06-21 11:32:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	haha Cheers! Thought no one noticed my little question we are trying that next week... You can try at any time (they are open 08:00-20:00)...If you are lucky enough you will talk to a reasonable human being( i think there are 3 at the call center and they will let you know at least what days they are currently processing at your SC...I'm gonna try again in a few minutes...MAYBE THEY MADE SOME PROGRESS....MAYBE-e?	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-06-20 11:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January I-129F filers	The 17th is my date too. I hope today or tomorrow is our approval day! My status is also the same. I'm 17th as well.....Couldn't agree more!!	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-06-19 14:00:00

So I guess the timeline should work in the next 10 days...Who knows... There are filers after me who just got approved but many before me without...Let's just leave it to lady luck and hope we all got it by EOM!!!	sparclight	Male	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2012-06-11 19:13:00
