USCIS Service CentersANY VERMONT APPROVALS TODAY?!!!????!

A girl with NOA1 date of 2/28/13 got approved today. I'm seriously floored. What about us January stragglers that didn't get transferred? Are ours lost??!

 

How about all the November people who have yet to be approved, followed by the December, and then January people......It really bothers me that they can't go in order or at least try.

USCIS Service CentersWHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH TSC?????

Sorry, but can someone please tell me what is going on with TSC?!
I was reading about people that were getting approved in 12 days!!! (From sending date in november 2013 until approved in november 2013 too!!!)

SORRY YEAH, BUT we are august fillers and I want to talk for all august fillers here that are still waiting for their NOA2, WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING?!

If you look on igor's list, there have been on Novmeber 15th 15 cases been approved! AND ONE YEAH JUST UNBELIEVABLE ONE was getting approved of them from AUGUST 2013!!!!

THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!! PLEASE IF SOMEONE KNOWS SOMETHING PLEASE WRITE IT HERE!!! IF YOU ARE AN AUGUST FILLER AND STILL WAIT FOR YOUR NOA2 also, PLEASE WRITE HERE AND LET ME KNOW TOO!

BIG THANK YOU








 

I'm sorry that you are frustrated with the process but you should be glad that you didn't file in 2012 where the wait was 7 months.   We filed in November 2012 and we were not approved (NOA2) until June and her interview was August 2013.   Think about all these people and consider yourself LUCKY that the time has dropped!!!!

 

You can sit and complain all you want but it will just make you more upset.  Use this time to look at the requirements your fiancee needs, start collecting those documents so when they get the notice, everything is ready to go.

PhilippinesQuestion for Overseas Filipinas regarding CFO requirement
Thanks for posting this question because I am in the same boat so to speak. My fiancee is working in Saudi but will be going back to the Philippines to see her family and then come here. I think that I'll have her do what jetlagged proposed. I would rather be safe than sorry.

Philippinescalling PHILIPPINES FROM USA... what to use

Oh well, I just found out today they don't have land line. I ask her how she talked to her mother and she told me her brother had a cell phone her mother would use. Anyway, we are leaving her laptop there, and maybe they can talk some on YM or something. I am just afraid the computer will not last that long without her there to take care of it. I checked into google voice and it is 15 cents per minute to cell and 10 to land line. Can't afford to talk everyday at that rate.


My future sister-in-law told me about Viber for my andriod phone. Let's me call her phone in Phils and send text messages for free. Your in-laws just need a smart phone with a data plan.

Philippinescalling PHILIPPINES FROM USA... what to use

MagicJack is the best...my husband and I using magicjack since 2009, he brought me magicjack to use to communicate everyday, we call each other 2 to 3 times a day with out extra charges, everybody in the US can buy it and send it to your spouse living in the Philippines, no charges also for US number.


I have to agree with this posting. My fiancee is living in Saudi Arabia and she has a magicjack. We talk multiple times a day and the quality is great.

I bought one and she took it to her parents house in the Philippines 2 weeks ago. Now we can all call each other for free!!! Well it's free for a year after buying the device for $50.

I also got 5 years service for her parents unit so when she's here in September we have 5 years of service.

magic jack users,,???? can you print out records of who you call?


You have an account on the web where you can print out the call logs.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNo status on "My Case Status"
I've sent in my I-129f, received the page/email/written response with the receipt number. I am now trying to check my status on the web and I am getting this response. "Your case can not be found at this time in My Case Status. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283"

I called the number and after a 50 minute wait, I spoke to a nice lady who did say my application was accepted and is in the system. She said to email the webmaster to report the problem to them.

I emailed them and reported the problem but am not sure how far this will get me. On the web page is this disclaimer "Do not send information about specific cases to this address. We only accept website-related comments. Although we will read every email message within two business days, due to the number of messages, we may not respond to each message we receive."

Does this type of problem happen a lot?
Is there any way to get it fixed?

Azsara that means very soon it should get to your date 24th...you will be approved soon. I'm happy to know they are back in 4 month and faster now! God be the glory!! Thank You Jesus!!!

 

There still are 40% of the people from November that are waiting for NOA2 which means that Vermont is not at 4 months.  Now with Vermont shipping out applications to other offices, things might change.

Eslem is here finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We still haven't gotten married but we are enjoying each other's company IMMENSELY biggrin.png We are planning a big outdoor wedding next spring but we are going to do a small civil ceremony in October! I'm so happy that everyone is being united with their loves..Eslem arrived a week ago and i was a nervous wreck waiting at that airport..but the moment I seen him-white chemise, black dress pants and shoes and his carry on bag-will be a moment I will never forget. I felt like I was falling in love all over again <3

 

Congratualations and enjoy planning the springtime wedding.    My parents were with me to welcome Vivian 'home' and she was extremely happy to see them there.  Unfortunately my camera didn't capture any of the photos my mom took. :(   But there will be the memories of it for all of us.


eeeek. i love her dress! y'all are a beautiful couple smile.png

Quick update:  I emailed the embassy asking if they could tell me when the passport would be sent out.  I was torn about emailing or not but the reply I got was '

Passport has been dispatched via FedEx. Follow up with them."    dancin5hr.gif yes.gif kicking.gif  crying.gif kicking.gif  jest.gif biggrin.png 

 

 

Picking her up on wednesday which is her birthday also.  My parents will also be in town and will be there.....If you all cannot tell, I'm SUPER HAPPY as they say in the Philippines.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2012 filers

Yup. It has been known to process visa's very slow. Ours took a little less than two weeks and we opted to pick it up instead of waiting for it to be delivered or else it would take forever. Warren and Vivian, will you getting it from the Philippine Embassy in the country she's in?

 

The Embassy in Riyadh sends it back to her via Fedex in the evenlope that she bought and brought back to them the day of the inverview.   

 

Still no passport and it says issued on Sept 11.   

 

Application ID or Case Number: RID201xxxxxxxxx 01 RID Case Creation Date: 08-Sep-2013 Status Updated Date: 11-Sep-2013    

 

Your visa is in final processing. If you have not received it in more than 10 working days, please see the webpage for contact information of the embassy or consulate where you submitted your application.

I think so, but yay! Finally!

it wasn't sent today so she won't be travelling until at least monday.  So much is planned for next friday.  Who would think it's taken 3+ weeks for them to issue her passport. :(

Warren & Vivian, what's the update of the visa?

Pachacuti, finally!! biggrin.png

 

Still not issued yet.  We are hoping for it to be issued on Sunday (Saudi Arabia has friday and saturday as the weekend) and then she'll be flying on tuesday if it does happen.

 

On the tourist visas for her family who interviewed on friday in Manila.  Her parants and her aunt were conditionally approved, provided we send a copy of her visa to the US Embassy in Manila. So they will be able to attend the wedding.  Her sister, brother, and his family were not.     While there her sister asked about Vivian's visa in the system. She was told it was 'waiting to be released and issued'

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2012 filers

Here's my latest update:   I'm hoping that Vivian gets the passport issued tomorrow and then she will fly on friday.  Then the plan on Saturday is to have her shop for a dress and find one that is in stock.  Then in 2 weeks, on friday the 20th we will get married...... I know she'll be here but I want her here now so she can get her dress!!

 

On the family's visa situation.  Her family's visa interview was changed again, this time to a date, now sept 6th, which is before the wedding.

 

Prayers are needed for both please.

Everything worked out. It's a small wedding. We got the park/gazebo for cheap, got free make-up, found the dress without any alterations. Everything was great. smile.png If there was one thing I would've changed, it would be to have my family there.

 

 

 

Congratulations to you both. Beautiful picture.

 

 I'm hoping that Vivian can get her dress this saturday after she flies in and like you, not needing alterations.

I hope it will be issued soon. My visa was issued a day after approval, i wonder why hers hasn't issued yet, did they say when she can get the passport with the visa in it?

 

They told her she would have her passport back in 1-2 weeks.  It has been one week today.    I do know it was touched yesterday and now the embassy is closed until monday now because Sunday they are celebrating "Labor day". So it looks like Tuesday or wednesday she will get it.
