On November 8, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly. dancin5hr.gif

 

Can't wait for them to send it to the consulate in Naples, we're soooooo over this!

tell me about it... maybe it will be my bday gift in a week or so... haha.... how's everything with you guys? we need to meet when you get to FL!

 

As I said, everything crossable IS crossed!

 

And yeah, absolutely, either in WilMa or SoBe!

 

We're doing great, waiting for NVC to give us our NPL case number so that we can go ahead and try to get an interview date!

We sent them an email today, and as soon as next Monday, if they haven't answered, we will start calling.

 

Looking forward to seeing your updated timeline soon!!!

Things have progressed very rapidly since the petition left the NVC...

 

Oh, I can't wait for things to progress THAT rapidly!

Best of luck for the interview on the 20th!

tell me about it..... but I am so happy that they are processing them faster and a two month wait is not that bad.. I am crossing fingers they just approve it without asking for any evidence.... haha... keep me posted .... congrats again!!

 

We definitely will!

 

Hang in there, guys, fingers (and pretty much everything else crossable) crossed!

Congratulations Nikkosan, I only hope I have the 9:30pm luck again soon...we are getting very eager for our NOA2 here...

 
Oh, yes you will!!! And of course I can imagine how impatient you must be getting, I know we were!!!
 

congrats!!!! yay.... I guess mine should be coming up soon...

 
It will be, kmiami15! I thought about you after I received it! We were so happy, and I hope you will also feel that way too!
 

Congrats!
 
I hope the rest of you get some good news soon too!


AMEN!

We just got APPROVED!!! YAY!!!

 

And Davesings is apparently right, as we did receive ours around 2.30AM local time, which is 9.30AM Eastern.

 

We're at TSC, so we hope it'll be moving faster from here. We already have all documents ready, there's not much else to do than wait for NOA2 hardcopy, NVC for case #, and US Consulate for scheduling of interview! I'm trying to be optimistic, it would be great if we could be back home for Christmas!

Unfortunately we have to wait 5 months before we can call them, which is in 7 days. The 21st of this month I will call them in the morning and find out what's happening.

 

I knew from the beginning that our case would be one of those that get lots half way. smile.png

 

I will let you know guys when it gets approved.

 

Please do, Javidial!

 

That is a LOOOOONG time to wait for an answer. I hope they sort things out quickly and that you guys can get the visa ASAP!!!

Congrats all!  For those of us tracking this, it might be helpful for K-1s to indicate whether or not you live in a state that recognizes same-sex marriage.  The ones I have seen be approved with no RFE are from states with SS-marriage.  i have seen RFEs for people from non-SS states.


Very interesting. I hope I'll be among those breaking that pattern as we reside in FL!

If non-SS-marriage state, what did you put for your plans to marry in a different state?  TIA!


My partner and I are in that situation.

In addition to the usual soundbite for the "Letter of Intent", we both simply added at the end of the letter that the wedding will be performed in the state of Massachusetts, which currently allows same-sex marriages, regardless of where one resides within the United States.

Hope this helps others who still have to file.

Best of luck to all of us waiting!

Thank you, Aussichik77 and Bob72601!

Aussichik77: It would let me go to review and sign without uploading a photo (they were grayed out!).

Bob72601: It wouldn't even let me get to the "upload photo" pop up, let alone actually selecting the photo (which I had already cropped with the DOS cropping tool.

Anyway, long story short, I tried again this morning, and it worked out!

Thanks for chiming in though, I appreciate it!

Did anyone get the "Server Error in '/QoTW' Application" when trying to upload a photo on your DS-160?

I looked it up online but can't seem to find a solution.

It is driving me crazy!

Trisha89,

 

We also used a lawyer and our progress has been (thankfully) smooth. I don't think filing with or without a lawyer has anything to do with this delay.

 

Sending positive vibes to the three of you!

 

P.S. I would definitely try to give them a call, or another one if you've done it already!

We filed August 16th and tonight we received notice that our I-129F has been APPROVED. NOA-2 sent today. Let's see when it arrives. FINALLY!!!!!!!

 

Awesome news!!!

 

Hope Trisha89 and everyone else waiting will get theirs soon!!!

I can't honestly believe there are still some of you waiting to get NOA2. I truly feel it for you all, especially now that the holidays are fast approaching...

Best of luck Nikkosan

 

Thanks, Adrian and Tisha!

 

Well what should I tell you we are still waiting for NOA2 :'-(

 

UGH... :-((((

 

 

Go to DHL, Express, Tracking, Track by Shipper's Reference.

 

Then, as an example, ours left NVC on Dec 4., so I entered:

 

Shipper's Reference:                          EXP 03 DEC 2013A

Date of Range for Shipment - From:   02 - 12 - 2013

Date of Range for Shipment - To:       04 - 12 - 2013

Account Number:                                 Leave Blank

Shipment Destination:                         Enter Country 

 

You've become a MASTER of DHL tracking! ;-) HEHEHEHEHE

 

I'm a newbie in this webpage. I belonged to the August filers. Now I am waiting a letter from Manila US embassy....

 

Welcome! Best of luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2013 K-1 Filers

@Nikkosan, I agree. So many things to do before relocating. We purposely scheduled a few days shy of Christmas day just so we can prepare more and attend as many lunch/dinner/parties from friends and family before taking off. Raaaar!
 
Goodluck with your interview, btw.


Thanks, DandC!

We just got the suitcases out to figure out what we can bring with us!

We're anxiously waiting for the interview date, and to fly back home two days after that!

We're soooo over this!

Happy holidays...WITH your loved ones!

Interview is scheduled for 12/12/2013, stoked.


That's awesome!

Ours won't be until the 14th of January, but then again, I think we need the time as we have a sh*tload of stuff to move back to the US and people to say goodbye to before we leave.

Congratulations, you're almost there!





NikkosanMaleItaly2013-12-02 19:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2013 K-1 Filers

Gotcha...

 

What I would do is perhaps wait a few more days to see whether it changes.

 

If by Monday/Tuesday it still shows "In Transit", I would send an email to the Embassy/Consulate to see whether they have received the parcel or not.

 

Best of luck!


NikkosanMaleItaly2013-11-22 07:28:00

NVC finally got my file! that took a long long time ranting33va.gif

 
YAY! Congrats!
 

Would anyone know how long will CEAC update from In Transit to Ready after Consular recieve the packet? Thx


Mine changed this AM from "In Transit" to "ready"(and the packet also got delivered today).

I have to eat my words! We can't believe it- we just got notice that the case was shipped to NVC today, Nov 21st!

 

 

HEHEHEHEHEHE!

 

There should be a meme for this!!! :-) LMAO

 

What a difference 12 minutes makes! 

 

Enjoy, guys!!!

NikkosanMaleItaly2013-11-21 06:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2013 K-1 Filers

Hi Amy101, the Ready status in CEAC means that your embassy had received your electronic file. That will again be updated in a week or 2 once the local embassy receives your physical file and enters it in their system.
 
Hope this helps...


That's very interesting! And yes, it does help, thanks for sharing!

NikkosanMaleItaly2013-11-21 06:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2013 K-1 Filers

I checked the status of the case and it says ready however when tracked on DHL it states that its still in the united states......now im confused as to what exactly does the whole "ready" part mean?


Weird...

Is it that one still in Cincinnati?

Anyway, if it left on the 18th as you stated, there's no way it can possibly be already in Serbia.

The package I'm talking was given to DHL yesterday.







NikkosanMaleItaly2013-11-20 15:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2013 K-1 Filers
My petition was shipped to the Consulate and it is now showing "In Transit".

I have spent about half hour playing with the DHL website.

Just a word of advice for those trying to get their "Waybill #": make sure you select the "Shipment Destination", as not doing so may prevent you from locating your package.

That's exactly what I did, I tried first locating ALL shipments and I could NOT see one shipped to Italy, after 5 minutes of playing with the system, I went back and selected Italy from the menu, and guess what, it worked!!! Just to make sure my theory was correct, I went back and tried with ALL shipments, and once again, couldn't locate mine.

NVC has been extremely fast for us, I wish you the rest of us still in the process the same kind of treatment.

Cheers!

Good to know that here is nobody anymore that is still waiting for NOA2?!? All tthis ppl that wait for interview or packet blabla pffff.... Wish I would be that far!

 

Trisha, 

 

I also hope you get approved soon, and that they take considerably less time to process your application at NVC, so that you may have a very close in time interview appointment in Germany.

 

Best of luck!

I am looking to follow in your footsteps...our NOA2 was Oct 30 so since yours was sent to NVC two weeks later, ours should be sent tomorrow, right?? But then there is the wait for the case number...this is a craaaazy process!

 

Yes, that should more or less be the timeframe, I think!

 

We can't wait to be over with this!!!

 

FINALLY!  APPROVAL!  76 Days....and on 11/12/13....very awesome!  Off to celebrate.....

LOL! I figured...

 

Silly boy? You must be the British half! HEHEHE

 

Yup, sorry, our NOA2 was September 27th not October 27th. I got confused after waiting so long for CSC to forward the darn thing to NVC.

 

Thanks fiancée!
