IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat factors determine the length of time between NOA1 and NOA2?
dont expect anything before August and you will be ok.. if you keep looking and hoping for something before then, it will take its toll on you... Its the luck of the draw for those that get NOA 2 in a month.. the rest have to wait close to 6 months or so...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPreparing to file Writ of Mandamus

I spoke with my friend earlier today, he informed me that he is going to meet with the lawyer and preparing to file a writ of madamus in the federal court. His case cr1 only has been in AP since January 2012, in Ho Chi Minh City. The lawyer fee will be $4000. It is a lot of money and besides his case in AP not that long. I told him that to be patient, soon or later your case will be completed. I also told him that the lawyer just wanted his money, does not matter with the outcome. I just hope that the case will be sucessfull. That is my opinion. What everyone think on this topic?



Waste of $$$$$$ tell him to come here and read through the AP topic in the VN regional... average time in AP at HCMC is about 5 or 6 months... some more than a year and the writ wont do ####### for him but cost him $$$$.... we were in AP @ HCMC so I am speaking from experience...

send me a PM with your email and I will send you a list of questions... you would be amazed at what has been asked in the past...

They may have someone call you another time.. it just usually been middle of the night for us day for them in the past... they may not do any checking at your end at all... could just be the two guys showing up around her home asking neighbors questions about you...

At this point, My wife has not heard anything from consulate office or any one yet. My case has been in AP since January 18, 2012, it is very close to 6 months. I hope to hear something near future. We are pretty close, we talk every day. I will post if I receive news.



If your phone rings at 11 PM or so and you see a 202 # you will know who it is before you answer..:whistle: be ready to answer questions that MUST match her responses,,,

Robert,

Any word yet? The tipping point is when you get a phone call in the middle of teh night asking you questions, or if someone shows up at her work or her home asking questions... From then its usually only a month or two later before they give in... You should be hearing something in the next few months.. I know it seems like forever, but its likely bringing you two closer together than ever...:thumbs:

OMG Scott that is hilarious! I may still need that medication until Mark has his visa in his hand from the consulate. I just hope and pray that the case doesn't get stuck in AP at the NVC or the consulate now. Yours is coming...I can feel it!

Kim

I am not worried about AP at NVC if I ever make it there, I am worried about AP at the consulate.. There a bunch of people in VN in AP and it can take many months.. one couple 8 months now... the really crappy part is that they do the interview.. and give a 221G blue slip asking for something.. anything.. when that is provided at the scheduled second appt a month later, they provide another Blue 221G slip that says AP... after that they dont say anything other than its in AP and being worked on.


Today has been such a frustrating day... it sux that USCIS stress just adds to everything else... got an email today that my straight A student son has 2 F's and a D... I feel a bad weekend is ahead...

I just saw a commercial for a new medication that should really help me.... They said the symptoms for VAAD include frequent checking of email and igors list; and logging into USCIS website a minimum of 10 times in a single day. Vias Approval Anxiety Disorder is far more common that one would think ohmy.gif
The only drawback is the side effects of the medication... Headaches, nausea, insomnia and in some cases mood swings....
wait a minute.. those are also signs of VAAD...

The only sure fire cure is a visa in hand! jest.gif

BAD news: we are officially stuck in additional processing!! GRR! I've just been checking up on others in the same boat, seems like it can add a couple of months delay!! I'm feeling so discouraged and frustrated. Just when I think things are moving, I hear this. So much for getting a quick approval. I let myselfget all excited, and now I'm back down to rock bottom.

Thay approved your file way faster than they projected and even with the AP you are still ahead of the game... many get through AP in a few days...

John and I are talking now about the list of things that I should get done before our case gets Cairo and the list of things he should send me? Any ideas of what to do and include in our list?


You need any proof of bonafide relationship he can gather...
Plane tickets borading passes, copies of all pages of passport, call logs, copies of phone bills, any receipts he may have from when he visited. anything either of you can think of.
You will need his i-134 with supporting evidence.... tax transcripts, 1040's, pay stubs, letter from employer.
An original and copy of his birth cert.
Any divorce decrees if he was married before... and if he was.. proof that they are no longer living together.
updated signed notarized "intent to marry" same as was sent with filing but with new date...
A copy of the initial filing if you dont already have one.

In pkt 4 they will list exactly what you will need to take and how it should be organized... see if another MENA filer has pkt 4 for your consulate so you can create an outline of what you will bring. I spent many hours last weekend organizing and gathering and printing everything that I wil take to her for her interview. I used ACCO fasteners and numbered tabbed dividers to sort the info into 3 sections.The general list they provided and two sections of evidence of relationship. The cover page is an outline that corresponds to the tabs .. it lists everything that they noted in the pkt 4 that should be brought to the interview in that same order they listed.
We were required to provide proof of bonafide relationship in two stages... pre engagement and post... the outlines look the same, but the content is a little different as there was far more saved after the engagement.

You all panic too much, they don't even look at 98% of that stuff. Relax, your gonna give yourselves a stroke before you even get there LOL. If your really that worried and you want GUARANTEED approval, then go there and go to the interview with your fiancee. The interview is gonna last at most 3 minutes. My 1st wife's interview lasted 2 minutes. I been thru all of this already. Trust me your gonna give yourself an aneurysm. If your fiancee goes it alone without you, make sure he/she knows most of your personal life, like all about your job and what your mom and dad's name is. They will ask how you met, if you give pics of you and your family they will ask he/she the names and who they are in the pics, they will ask her if he/she really loves you. They can tell if he/she is lying, they are trained in techniques to tell by your reactions to questions. If they suspect and lie they will actually read copies of your emails/texts to eachother LOL so if you got anything juicy in there be ready to turn red LOL. Just relax, chillout, lol.



It may be that easy in PI but its not the ame in all consulates. Our consulate is very difficult and they look at everything.

This speed is almost scary as Scott mentionned it in our thread, we may see our first approvals very soon.

July will see some members approved this month... I just hope nobody at VSC is on vacation this month with a box of files still sitting on the desk. We have 7 approved this week and 22 in all to-date.. June should be more than halfway completed next week... we always see the following month start to get approved when the current month reaches halfway or so...

"Touch" shows up on USCIS right? I never got one on my NOA1 whistling.gif

Yep,
On the USCIS site the date of last activity will be different if you get touched... then... when you click on you EAC # and it says something other than pending.. booya.. something has happened... hopefully an approval and not an RFE
I pray they got my supplement together with my filing so I dont get an RFE. if the date changed and it still says pending.. they are working on the file.

That list goes back and does not take the processing date into account.. thats why it didnt move... I wont be surprised if you check your email one day this week and see the CRIS email there saying approved... good.gif very common to get approved with berkeley # around 100.

I tried last night and got a message saying it was unavailable.. now it says...Server is currently unavailable or down for maintenance when I try or 500 Servlet Exception

definitly down.. It may be a good thing if they are doing an update to the system that is an improvement.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune '09 Filers
Wow!!! I got so much done today preparing the docs for the interview.. I may only be halfway done assembling them but the outline is all setup and I just need to print and fill in the blanks that I have setup already ... When I get it almost done I will post some pics of it.. I am really happy with how it is looking.... I took the pkt 4 to know exactly what is needed and created outlines that are the cover pages for sections that will be submitted. Each section containing tabbed pages corresponding to the outline. Decided to use ACCO fasteners. Far more detailed than I ever expected but it will make everything very easy for the CO and easy for me to assemble as time goes on.

I will be heading to visit her in Nov as well... would love for her interview to be the same time I am scheduled to be there....

WOW! Congrats to all June filers that have been approved! The rest of us just have to hang in there...ours is coming!

Kim,
You could see yours Monday! or sooner!... I am so happy to see these 93 and 94 day approvals.... I think we will be seeing times shorter than that in the next week. If they follow the trend of previous weeks, we should see a few dozen June filers get approved next week including many from the back end of the month... I would not be surprised to se some July filers get approved this month... its a crappy rainy day here and I am killin time printing emails and yahoo chats to get as much done now ratheer than later... looks like many of us will get that christmas gift we wanted so badly.... good.gif
How was the trip?

Ok June VSC filers... take this number and run it through your calculators... 105 ...


Now you are asking what the heck is 105.. right?



Thats the approx number of days (give or take a few days) some May filers have waited and are getting NOA2's...


now add 105 days to your NOA1 here and imagine what your NOA2 could be at the current pace... or sooner! For one June couple here (C&M).. that would put you somewhere around Sept 17th! two weeks away!
TWO WEEKS? OMG!!!! Clay, Remember this? He he he ..... kicking.gif I was a week off....

My Berkeley # has dropped over 160 in the past month alone! We should see another 100+ drop in the next two weeks... if they keep up at this pace and post the new Processing dates...

We could see more than 50 VSC approvals for this week alone! Great job getting back on track VSC!!!!! dancin5hr.gif




Hey Guys! I applied in June too at VSC for K1, and just got approved today!! So excited!! Still haven't been able to tell my fiance yet!! Good luck to everyone still waiting!! You could be next!


Wow !!! Congrats!!!
