I guess I am just bored and I thought of doing this, Please forgive me if it doesn't makes sense... blink.gif

Looking at the VJ Timeline List, this is the no of k1 filings every month

Dec' 08 - 123
Jan' 09 -124
Feb' 09 - 142
Mar' 09 - 149
Apr' 09 - 114
May' 09 - 96
Jun' 09 - 78

The filings spiked during Feb & Mar, not sure why and the no's are way down for May and June. It is possible that people haven't signed up yet for May and June.

I think if they get past Feb & March filings, which I think they did, they should move faster to us.

So please take it for whatever it's worth, just my 2 cents. I don't want a multi million dollar suit on me for this innocent.gif

The numbers are down, but they grow the closer we get to NOA2's.. there have been 30 or so new June filers added here in the past month... I like the fact that April filers are getting approved.. 7 this week... and I checked one of the timelines before it got updated and they were approved today but the estimate had them to be approved late next month... we should see the first non-expedited June filers before the end of Sept.

5 RFE's so far this month... that has to take more time for the processors than a file with no issues.... there are usually 15 -20 that dont get done with the rest and take longer.. so if you are at 292 then 50 or 60 of those ahead of you wont get approved before you... if they can keep up with a 30 or more each week then thats about 8 weeks for someone at 292... Mid Oct. just an estimate if they keep rolling...


look back at least a few pages in the discussion... its been posted a few times

USCIS has updated the processing times https://egov.uscis.g...TimesDisplay.do couple of days back and I just noticed VSC has a goal of approving I-129's in 5 months whereas it showed Dec 2008 last month. If their goal is 5 months for all the applications, i would guess all the June Filers would have their approvals by Nov and atleast half of us would get it in Sep & Oct. So I think Christmas is a real possibility for all of us. good.gif


I wish that were so but they are working on mid to late March applications now. June applications are 2+ months away, it is now mid August. I do not think we will see approvals for many June filers till late Oct, early Nov.

3 Aprils approved so far today... almost at my prediction of 40 for last week... he he he... kicking.gif we may see October approvals for us...

How do you compute your Igor's List? I am 428 on the list, Wendy-you seem to be in the 390's but you list 299. Could you shed some light on how you arrive at the number. Thanks in advance.

You are 336 on Berkeley


Thanks, always thought the Igor list was a bit outdated because it list hundreds of folks that have not posted in months; I would guess most of the very old NOA1 have either been canceled or approved.

Not true.. many of those are having a more thorough investigation and take longer... the berkeley list shows where you stand based on a normal approval time...

Berkely List is a little more accurate because it goes back as far as the most recent posted processing date.

No,
They will send a pkt when the consulate gets the file... he will then send or fax a response to that ...
Here is a link to someone else from UK's Pkt 3

Well today is a good day... They updated the VSC processing times yesterday and that is now reflected in the berkley Igors list... .. I moved over 60 spots from where I was a day or so ago... I suspect the expected NOA2 dates in our timelines should shift a bit in the coming day or two.. They have been doing a better job getting the applications processed and I would not be surprised if we see close to 40 or more for the week... This is like the little engine that could... chug .. chug.. chug... whoo whooo whistling.gif

Hello Everyone! One more June Filer that's hoping to bring his fiance by Christmas. I am just crossing my fingers and biting my nails just like you guys...

Good Luck u all good.gif

By Christmas? Wow.. good luck with that happening.. Most June VSC's wont get NOA2 until late OCT or Nov the way things have been going... and then there is the time to get to NVC and then embassy... and te wait to get an appointment on top of that... I am expecting visa sometime Feb at this point... but I agree December would be nice... good.gif


I see a lot of March filers and few April filers gettting NOA2 now. So there is a possibility June filers might get NOA2 starting mid October, Add 2 months for the Conulate Process. She might have her visa by December whistling.gif I know this will happen only in the best case scenario. We will see...


Yes yes yes RK!!! we are working on a Mantra.. Visa by Christmas, Visa by Christmas.. yes we can yes we can!!

the normal time from NOA2 to interview for our consulate is 3 months at best and 4 for most... I would have to get an NOA2 by next month to see a christmas visa, best case... it really depends on how fast we can get through VSC and then how fast the consulate can get us through that end... every consulate is different.... it takes a couple of weeks to get from USCIS to the consulate w/o AP.. and here is a link to see what times are normal at the consulate.. recent consulate stats past 90 days



I hadn't seen that link yet. The Lima embassy is only averaging 28 days. WOW. I better have my stuff ready to go. That will be a rush.

The sooner you respond to Pkg 3 the sooner you get interview... You can likely fnd copies of pkg 3 & 4 on here that will give you a heads up of exactly what you will get and what you will need....

I saw a June VSC filer post that they got an email from USCIS.. the email said approved I-129... wow.. in less than 2 months... then we all realized that it was an error on the part of USCIS and they sent the email to the wrong address.... I really feel for the person that got that email.. as if this ordeal isnt painful enough...

I had a glimmer of hope that we could get NOA2 before October/November... oops8rh.gif

I guess it's something in the culture then, isn't it? Cause well it's not very welcomed here that Egyptian females marry 'foreigners'.. When John was here we got stares almost everywhere we went to. It wasn't nice.. But I know who I am and where my heart is and I don't care for pre-made judgements.

Did anyone say anything to you in objection? Thuy and I were shopping in VN one day and an older lady kept saying that she needed to find a good VN husband.. asking why was she with a foreigner. the lady kept on for some time until we left her shop..... we always get the 'looks' especially since I am so much taller than her... I just smile and remember how much we love each other.. don't care what they think... I feel sorry for them as many may just be jealous of seeing someone happy..

At our consulate they frown on giving a visa without knowing the petitioner is sitting outside..... They actually look for any reason to deny.... "what, he don't love you enough to be here?" They dont actuallly let the petitioner on the property.. gotta wait accross the street at the cafe' or sit on the sidewalk... I wouldn't miss it for anything.... I am dying to see the smile on her face when she walks out of the building... OMG.. got me teared up thinking about it...


Aww.. I really hope you can be there with her Scott and hear really good news after her interview! Cairo consulate is kinda just that way too.. It's very uncommon to be a female Egyptian K-1 beneficiary.. I'm the only one on VJ! I hope not the first case for Cairo embassy.. I'm really hoping for a smooth interview.. It's crazy how things are going for me with my family's refusal of our relationship, I really hope we don't wait longer.. But I have my hopes up! smile.gif
I really hope Thuy enjoys her time before she leaves. rose.gif

Its the other way around at my conslate... if its a male beneficiary they look twice at them thinking something is odd...

Hello, Guys ! Just back from vacation. Lots going on and at the same time almost nothing forwrd . I am stuck at NVC for AP ( additional) and now i am officially NVCvictim. Question: I saw someone compiled a list of peole stuck at NVC and probable timeframes there. Cant find it. Does anyone know link to the list? Thanks a lot !!!!!!

No list for K filers... it takes about 30 days to get out of AP for those that are actually in AP. They often tell people they are in AP when they are not really in AP. I called last night and got the hint to call Friday so Friday will be 1 month for us and we should be out of AP this week if the hint was true... Others were told the same thing in the past and it went through the day they said to call back...

There seems to be no rhyme or reason how long petitions take to get to NVC (or how long they stay there) When you call NVC make sure you talk to a person, the k1's do not get in the automatic system!! Good luck hope your journey is quick good.gif

As of today we have been in AP at NVC for 24 days... Next week we should be out... they have been averaging between 30 and 40 days for Actual AP's and not just a delayed forwarding like some have seen.... If the file is there and has not been sent out.. they say AP regardless of the real status... so KIKE just got through AP in 5 days.. that was not AP it was really just a delayed forwarding of the file to the consulate. These FBI checks that they do in AP are not done in 5 days... usually when the FBI check is done, then it takes 5 days or so for the file to get forwarded out of NVC.
A few weeks ago people were calling NVC and asking for a supervisor... and if the supervisor said you are in AP thats all I can say... expect to be there for another week... if they said call back on # day.. then the FBI check was completed and the file was getting ready to ship... I am down to calling 2 or 3 times a week now...

42 days until we are together again... kicking.gif

I feel bad for Thuy now because she has some family mmbers that are not in the best of health... its not easy to get Advanced Parole right away after she arrives here so if something happens to them in the 6 months or so after she gets here... now may be the last time she is able to see them... The family is all going to visit them this weekend... I know that will be rough on her but a least her father realized the possibility and setup this trip for them to have some time together....

Just got off the phone with my Congressional liason and he said they told him the exact same thing they have been telling me for weeks... word for word... they just did it in writing. They said I am in AP and there is no timeframe for this. He said it is usually an FBI background check and that it takes as long as it takes and there is nothing absolutly nothing that can be done to speed it up... And after it gets through there is no way to expedite to make up any lost time from waiting...
He said he has seen them take more than a year to get done when in AP and lately it is only a month or so... 3 weks today.. I expect another week or so... then 2 months more for the interview..

Good Mornin Fellow VJ'rs!!

I felt like spending $16 this mornin and called US Embassy in London for an update. I'm glad I DID!! The embassy received our application from NVC on 10-6-09. The instructions to John were sent on 10-7-09, so he should have them any day now. I was a little disheartened when he said the interview may take 6 months to schedule sad.gif but My hopes will remain high until we see that interview date!! smile.gif Good Luck to all still waiting for their next step kicking.gif good.gif .




6 MONTHS!!!! Eff That!!! I really hope that is not true for you or any of us. Happy to hear you that you petition made it to the embassy though.

6 months.. I saw 1 that was in 10 days.... the 6 months is a worst case generic statement to cover them if it takes longer than expected...

Why are you filing it? Your case was sent to NVC and should be on its way to the consulate soon as long as you dont end up in AP like we did. If you call NVC they likely have already sent your case on to the consulate.

But I know for a fact that my docs are at NVC where I have been assigned a new case number. Why is that and if anyone knows and filed i-824 should I do the same. My attorney told me to disregard this since its a standard letter they send everyone. Thanks for advice and help.

How did you receive the notification via email? I dont recall ever providing my email address to anyone?

Also just out of curocity is the NVC case number the same case number that is provided by the local embassy?

If you setup email notification or called NVC then they have it on file.
NVC # is same as consulate #


How do u set up email notification with NVC ? Thanks !!!!

call.. wait for automated system and then select 1 nd 5.. then wait for a person.
Tell them your email when they ask for it.

Call NVC on Monday and ask them when they sent it out.. 603-334-0700
wait for automatd system... select 1 and then 5.. it takes 1-3 days for the file to get to the consulate...


Thanks!!!!!!!! smile.gif for the information. I called and they answer my questions!!!! Thanks for your help!!!!!!

Are you out of NVC? I just met with my congressional liason this morning to help get us out of AP.. we will see if it helps... two weeks in a holding pattern.... SUX!!!! If they are of any help, I should be out of AP Friday or Monday.... if not I expect another two weeks in the abyss...

Not really... They are still within the 5 month guidelines for your case... Even if you go to your senator or congressman they will likely hear that the file is still within normal timeframe even though we know differently.

What is the form, or where do I find it to transfer? The only way it says availble to talk to Caracas is via e mail and I e mailed them Fri, the wait time is 3-5 business days for a reply.
Thanks for your help.

I cant find it and my history got dumped when I upgraded Internet explorer this weekend... Call NVC and ask for a supervisor and they may be able to help..

Call NVC on Monday and ask them when they sent it out.. 603-334-0700
wait for automatd system... select 1 and then 5.. it takes 1-3 days for the file to get to the consulate...

Just called NVC and they said I am out of Additional Processing. My package is being sent to the Lima Embassy today. That was more nerve wracking than the wait for the NOA2. Knowing that I had been approved and still having to wait. Good luck to everyone else.


Woo hoo!!! congradssssssssssss u two!!

CARACAS, VENEZUELA

Try to contact them now as they may still be there... if not you will have to wait until Monday...
There is a form you can use to tranfer the file to PI.

Hey, Just wondering how exactly can you track your petition via DHL?


If yours left NVC on the 22nd it has been at the consulate for a week now... Call or email them if you need to...
