Thanks Aya and John!

Indeed the long wait is over! Yay!

Just like you, I'm so stressed and nervous also. I'm nervous about the medical exam. I know I don't have TB but it worries me when I've read that SLEC (Philippines) has a high-tech X-ray machine which can see things other X-ray machines can't. crying.gif

Also, I've created a list of what I'll be needing for the interview and I am starting to collect the documents.

Sorry, I can't answer your question about the packet. I think the procedure here is somehow different since here, we can proceed without the packet 3. At least that's what I've read here...

Anyways, goodluck to all of us here! I'm hoping for a smooth visa journey for all of us! good.gif


I've created a list too.. I'll type it and show it to you guys so you could tell me if anything is missing... My biggest concern now is the mailing address thing.. I hope I get the consulate replies today! Cairo consulate is a pretty tough and I just hope this help with this... I'll wait for Scott's reply about the red flag thing.. tongue.gif


How far are you from the consulate? You could go there and get a copy of the pkt 3 if you need.... they know that some places do not have reliable mail service. Have you tried to call the consulate?

wow we had a bump in June approvals yesterday! Keep em coming gang!

Thank You so much! That definitely helps alot..
One more quick question... when and what do they send to my fiance? He is in Aruba now, But we are going through the embassy in Manila because that is where he is a citizen. I need to get him back there AND change the address with whoever to the Phil address before they send anything out. Because so far on any paperwork we have put his Aruba address. Its a race against the clock now.

They could possibly send pkt 3 after the end of next week. Call NVC to besure they have your Email so they can alert you when it is sent to the consulate, They may be able to change the address at this stage.. maybe... Call the consulate as soon as they get the file. Tell them where he will be (new address) they will know how long before he should expect pkt 3... like I said it could be very soon...

Scott, Should they already be filling out the paperwork, or just wait until the e mail comes? On the guides it says you can practice with these forms?

Go to the PI area of VJ and get a copy of the current pkt 3 & 4... ask others there what forms PI specifically requires... start working on them now! He should have everything filled out except the case # ASAP. You have your tax transcripts and w-2's and birth cert orig and copy... letter from employer... print any logs that you can and start printing chats and emails now...
setup a clear outline based on what they say for your consulate... they are very specific about what they want and the order they want it....
I bought a two hole punch and the clips that are used for that ACCO clips.. I have an outline of the contents for the general docs as well as two additional packets one before the engagement and one after... they each have an outline cover sheet and tabbed numbered pages inside that correspond to each item in the outline.

Get everything as organized as you can and get it in chronological order.

Oh wow... great news! I will call them Thursday to see if they have it... That number is the same case number that the consulate will use and I need that number to get the rest of our paperwork finished.... As soon as The consulate says they have our file, they will get an email with the paperwork for Pkt 3 and will schedule us an nterview.. this may shave a few weeks off of our wait time for pkt 3 to arrive and ultimatly speed up the time to get an interview.

Do you have all of the other paperwork filled out yet? The 156 156k 230 134 etc.



Scott, what is 156, 156k, 230, the only thing i have filled is the i834 I think it is which is the affadavit of support

The docs required are different from one consulate to another.. mine requires I-134 as an affidavit of support from me along with supporting documentation.... check in your local discussion to see the files that need to be submitted... My SO will have to submit DS156, DS156K and DS230... plan ahead for what will be required down the road.. the road is moving faster as we go.

See I told you guys I had a good feeling about this week for you guys!!!!! Let's keep each other company through the NVC and consulate process...especially you Wendy since our fellas are going to interview at the same consulate! Congrats! It is a GREAT feeling huh? I am still on cloud 9. Thinking about calling the NVC today to see if they have sent it off to the consulate yet. What do you guys think?

Kim

Thanks Kim... I had a feeling it would happen Monday and it did... When I crunched the numbers Sunday was the day I needed to be pretty sure of a December interview so I have a good chance for it to happen this year Christmas time...

Did NVC send you a letter? A part of me is still sitting here taking in the fact that we got through that initial portion of it and still hoping for the rest of the June filers.... I am really looking forward to the paperwork heading to the consulate... from what I see it takes only a few weeks from NOA2 in most cases. I should call NVC the end of this week right? Have you called them before?

The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number: EACxxxxxxxxxx

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On September 21, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune '09 Filers
Please keep several things in mind if you choose to use your receipt number to check case status and track the processing of your case.

First, most of the time your case is pending we will be processing cases that were filed before yours. Therefore, the status of your case may not change until we get to the end of the normal processing time.
Second, our focus is on processing cases because we understand the effect processing times have on customers. The case status information we offer if fairly basic. While your case is within the normal processing time, this basic automated case status is all that we will provide. We will not research your case to give you details about the status of your case.


http://www.uscis.gov...0000ecd190aRCRD

Like the way they said that? We will work on the files before yours.. Most of the time, well I have no problem with the files that are showing as approved from yesterday as they are all May and Apr filers that should be done before us... It was normal for quite some time that once your number got to around 100, the cases were getting approved, but that may have changed now that the processing time is shorter than it was in the past.... Likely closer to 80 now. whistling.gif

Wow, The sting isn't so bad when the approvals are before us... Those July'####### hard... In many respects I am expecting an RFE because I know they lost the extra paperwork I sent them.. Just know it.... That would be too easy to actually send them what they needed before they asked for it and there not be an issue...

Megan, I am surprised that you did not get the NOA2 yet... if you dont get and RFE in the next day or so you should see the NOA2.

Wendy, There are not many gaps ahead of you in June now... likely not far off at this point...


My son asked me last night, "Hey dad, what happens when you get down to number 15 or 10 on the list", My response was that I go nuts before I get to that point... and if I was one of those unlucky few in March that have not been approved and are no longer on the list because its outside of the processing dates.. that would really twist me up...

I assume that the website changes may have something to do with the fact that there have been no NOA2 emails after the website changed.... If none of the NOA2's posted, to the database that the website uses, after the change, that could be why no emails and no changes in Igors list... I made a change to my account on Firday and there should have been a touch as a result.. a touch by me, this happened when I turned on email notification... no change in the update date so far.... its a nice new look and feel, but I really dont think it has sync'd up with the actual USCIS database yet.. I think the website is accessing an outdated copy of the database and we will likely see a bunch of emails and NOA2's on Monday and maybe Tuesday... Its very odd the way things have been going to only see 4 approvals for a Friday.

Yeah the 5 month processing time is a ball park figure... i'll give you some more updated stats.

Between July 27 and August 23 - Vermont has approved 140 petitions.
Between June 29 and July 26 - Vermont had approved 57 petitions.

So they've gone nuts in the last month, approving ALOT more than they had been averaging, which is obviously excellent news for us.
Your numbers are a bit off..
121 92 K-1 petitions were sent in April by users listing on this site. Some 33 of those April filers have NOA2's already.
100 88 K-1 petitions were sent in May by users listing on this site.
75 73 K-1 petitions were sent in June by users listing on this site.
69 71 K-1 petitions were sent in July by users listing on this site.

So hopefully alot of the March filers will get their NOA2's in the coming weeks and then the rest of April is worked on as well.

going by thier numbers you are still inside normal time... but based on VJ stats it is taking longer that average... if you are not approved by next Monday, contact your congressman orsenator to have them doan inquiry on your behalf.. that should help things along unless there is an issue that legitimatly has the case undergoing some additional processing or investigation...

Next time if you don't have any new idea to contribute, save your time. You have not said anything that most VJ members don't know. The only difference is it lacks logic. FYI. Inquiry does not result in failure or success and to claim that one is setting themselves up for failure is pure lack of understanding of the subject matter.

Look at your congressman as a gun... you only have so many bullets... if you use them up early on.. they may not be there when you really need them 6 months from now... Thats what he meant by setting oneself up to fail... As I said before.. logic does not apply to the immigration system... If you try to apply logic you will just be causing yourself additional stress trying to make sense of something that is senseless...
