K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHOLY COW!!! APPROVED!!! November filer!!
Hello, I sent my I129f in on 11-22. Did you get a email telling you Current Status: Approval notice sent.
I also see in your timeline you got approval before your check was cashed. I through you had to get the number on the back of the check to see your account. How did you receive this notice that they mail you the approval? Kyle

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHOW? NOA1 email notification
I knew I had my NOA1 because my check was cashed.
My bank scans a copy of the check (front/back) online and I found my case number on that.
I had already registered myself on their website so I put in the case number and voila!

Now I check the site several times a day waiting for a touch...
We're trying to wait patiently.....

Good luck! ;)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEmail notifications - any problems out there??
Hey everyone!

I registered for the case status update online and requested email notifications.
My case has been touched twice but I have never received a notification via email.

Has this happened to anyone else? It's not a big deal but it'd be nice.
My account says that the email notification is on...

Ideas?
Thanks in advance! :P

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow long does NOA1 usually take?
I sent my application to Texas and my NOA1 took about a week.
The USCIS website says my petition was accepted on the 18th of Sept but my NOA1 that I received in the mail is dated the 19th, so I guess the 19th it is.

Anyway, it was 8 days.
Yours is coming...
Good luck.
:yes:

My application was received in Texas and 7/8 days later (I have 2 dates - the USCIS website says 7 days, my I797C I got in the mail says 8) I got my NOA1 from Cali.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould I go with fiance' to interview?
Like it was said above - you have to find out the guidelines for your embassy.

The embassy in Brasil allows the USC to attend, but it is not mandatory. I plan to go to support my fiance and because he does not speak English and I don't want him to fly alone and arrive here by himself.
Plus, it's another excuse for us to have a 'honeymoon' in Rio de Janeiro!!

Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresplease help-post office message
The same exact thing happened to me.
My application was received on a Saturday (in Texas) and so no one was there. I was really worried because I even had the wrong PO Box #!
But...my package was delivered the next Monday at 5:22 AMMMMM!!

A week later I got my NOA1 from California :P

Thanks TucsonBill,

I try to do exactly what you said - think of this as a journey.
I'm worried about getting an RFE too but that is a step forward so I guess it's better to see it that way.

Good luck to us all!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresinformation on income
30K should be enough. I spoke with a lawyer about this and you're making almost double what the minimum is. We all know that 17K is nothing.

I wouldn't worry about it, but you could get a co-sponsor just in case.

Isn't it true that we can also send a bank statement showing how much money has gone through the bank since we opened the account?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI think I made a BIG MISTAKE when I mailed my I-129F!
As long as you have the right address you're probably fine.

I sent my application with a PO Box that no longer exists - should have verified that first.
Anyway, I needed to write K1 on the envelope because of this - and it did arrive.
I'm sure you're fine!

Congratulations! :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat are they doing??
It's not fair that those who applied in March/April/May are still waiting for an NOA2 and others apply in September and are approved in October.
I'm really sorry to all that have been waiting for months... :wacko:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDeath in the Family
Ok - so I'll just sit back and wait. I am the USC and as long as the forms were accurate when we sent them (which they were) then I see there is no need to call.

My fiance has lost both of us parents in the past 12 months and so this is just really hard for him. It affects me too. :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDeath in the Family
Hi Everyone,

Sadly my fiance's mother died last week. I wanted to know if this has happened to anyone while their case was waiting to be approved (I hope not) but if so...what did they do?
Should I call USCIS?
I know that her untimely death has nothing to do with his and my visa application but I wondered anyway...
The information we put down about her, name, dob, place of birth, etc. is all correct and the address we wrote is her last address.
I just wondered if I should call and tell them to make a note on our application.

However, I don't want them to ask for a death certificate and have that put our process off even longer (I'm already sick of waiting - it's been 5 weeks). I don't know if my fiance has one yet and then we would have to have it translated.

On the other hand, could I ask that my case be expedited because of this loss. My fiance needs me even more now...

Thanks so much.

I sent mine registered mail and tracked it online.

My visa center was also Texas and although the PO Box # I had was wrong my package was still delivered and then forwarded to California.
My NOA1 was from CSC.
It was pretty fast (TSC - CSC)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUpdates vs. Touches
I have an account set up and my check was cashed on 9/18 and I was given a receipt number.

I've been checking constantly since then because 9/19 and 9/20 my account was updated.

Now I just clicked where it says "Last updated" and today's date came up. That is why I wanted to know if it means that my account was looked at today?
If so...is there anyway for me to know if it was looked at before today?

I know it could mean nothing but the idea that it could is exciting.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUpdates vs. Touches
Hey everyone..

I was reading this:

http://www.visajourn...p?showtopic=300

and decided to follow the directions. So I logged on and checked the box next to my receipt number. I then clicked last update and the date changed from 9/20 until today 10/30. does this mean that my account was updated today? could this have been updated before and I never noticed because I just checked to see if the date changed, I never clicked on anything?

Is this a touch?

Thanks!

I had to click on 'last update'
I read that thread yesterday and out of curiosity decided to click on where it says 'last updated' on my online account. My date changed from 9/20 until 10/30 as soon as I did that- meaning I had a touch yesterday.
I may have had one before but I don't know because I didn't click it until yesterday.
No update today :(

I just saw on the USCIS website that CSC is now working on petitions from May (yesterday it was April 11th).
How good of news is this?

I also read that they will be moving faster at processing our applications.

Is this really going to be good for us?
I hope so :yes:
