USCIS Service CentersPlease read this!! Important!!

I've been hearing that VSC has been claiming to be working on May 14th, 2012 files however I came to find out that a September 2012 filer just got approved on Nov 8th, 2012. Just 44 days between the NOA1 and NOA2. Their petition was sent to VSC. I am a August filer and I am still waiting for an approval. They talk about how petitions are looked at based on the order it was sent but that's a lie. This is just unfair. I am very tensed and upset.I am planning to call USCIS and complain to them about this and they better do something about it and I even have proof that they approved a Sept filer before a Aug filer. Please leave some feedbacks about what you think about this. Thank you!


My Update

08/20/2012: Sent I-130 to Chicago Lockbox
08/22/2012: Confirmed delivery by FedEx
08/25/2012: NOA1 received (Sent to VSC)
In between these dates (don't remember), it was transferred to NBC.
09/12/2012: Transferred to a USCIS local office (Last touched)
**********: NOA2 (not yet received)

I am a june filer and still have not heard anything.........

USCIS Service CentersIs the USCIS web updated?

Hi everyone,

Its been 201 days since our NOA1 and almost everyday i check on the website for our case status.My fiance called USCIS thursday and he asked for a service request but was told that a form I-797 will be sent to him instead.He called up again and was routed to another rep who told him the same thing.Again he asked for a service request.He asked what it was but the rep wouldn't tell, just told him it could be I-797,or C or E. I'm just wondering though if that USCIS site is updated since it still shows initial review,doesn't make sense to me.
Would they tell you right away if you're approved or not or it should be the tier people who has the capacity to tell you about the status.

I hope somebody could enlighten me about this.Thanks so much and and hoping everyone the best.God bless you all.

Jan

232 days here and I also get no help when I call USCIS Im ready to give up and Just move to his country :crying:

US Embassy and Consulate Discussioncan you change an interview date

pumpkinpie2FemaleJordan2013-05-02 15:36:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussioncan you change an interview date

Thanks for the advice everyone.

im only wondering about changing the interview because my fiance got offered a job in the country Bahrain he wants to take the job. He will leave to go there the end of this month... I know people wonder if going through I129f process why take a job in another country right? well the way he looks at it he has been without work for a long time and needs the money, and he is not guaranteed to be approved for the k1visa. So he says he needs to try the job and not let the opportunity pass for he may not get another job offer

vermont advance you think a bit more than California in recent months, I am in almost five months into the process and anxious to receive my NOA2, how much longer we have to wait for those of us in the office of Vermont, is long expected, but I hope in God my approval soon, everything is in the hands of the almighty.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRFE
Thanks, I just received an email from uscis stating that they mailed me a request for evidence 12/13/2012 which will be the second request. I don't know if this has something to do with me calling today about not getting a reply to the evidence i sent in july, or if they need more evidence. I am just happy to see something other than initial review when I check the uscis website :dance:
pumpkinpie2FemaleJordan2012-12-13 16:56:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRFE
Hello, i am very confused.... I received a RFE on July, 30,2012 for a copy of my fiance passport I sent it in the next day. I never received a reply to this RFE and did not even know i was supposed to get one until someone on here told me. So i called uscis today and they were concerned because my case did not even show that a RFE was sent to me much less any indication that vsc received my evidence. The officer i talked to sent in a service request to vsc and said I should hear back in 2 weeks. I am getting really stressed out because we are now at 6 months waiting on NOA2 and have heard nothing is this common or do i have a right to be freaking out im almost in tears :help:

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

I just need to know how much longer should i wait for an approval

I filed june 15,2012 and all I have heard fron vsc is a RFE that I responded to and they received dec,18 2012 I havent heard from them since. I hope we both hear something soon Good Luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVSC....almost 7 months since NOA1 !!!

Next week it will be 7 months since we got our NOA1. I wish somehow my file would have ended up at CSC instead of VSC. I have called VSC twice and they keep telling me "it is within normal processing time" and that I have to wait. I also had my congressman contact them and they said the same thing. I used an attorney to file my case and he says he cannot do anything and we just have to wait. I am looking at all the people who filed a month after me (July '12) and got their NOA2 from VSC and cannot help but to think something is wrong with my file. I have not gotten an RFE and I don't know if there is a problem with my file, or if it got lost, or it is because my fiance (she) is from Iran. I was also born in Iran and now naturalized US citizen and perhaps that has something to do with it too... maybe the background check and everything else just takes longer time. Any suggestions or words of wisdom or any advice would be greatly appreciated... I cannot go to Iran to visit her and she cannot come to the US to visit me... so we are just waiting... we have managed to meet in another country (Turkey) twice just to make the waiting more bearable!!! It sucks and I wish I could go to Iran to vist her but I cannot legally go to Iran (even though I was born there.... long story). Thank you visajourney and all members. I wish everyone the best and hope your cases get approved. The only good thing that comes out of this long wait is that I know we will appreciate each other more once she comes here.

My fiancee and I have been waiting 7 months now also and it is driving us mad... good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsGetting my representative involved

So I received my NOA1 on September 5, 2012. Fed up with waiting, I contacted my Congress woman's office. Her immigration person contacted USCIS on my behalf and was told the following: " Your constituent's case is currently under review by an Officer and can expect a response within 45 days". Sooooo, if they add another 45 days to the nearly 5 months I've already waited, it should give the rest of you an idea of what can be expected of the CSC.

Sucks but what can I do but keep waiting? At least glad I contacted my representative.......

I have been waiting almost 8 months now. I received a RFE on DEC 13, 2012 i mailed it and they received it on dec.18,2012 but I have not got a reply saying they got my evidence. i have called uscis many times with no help or info from them... so my question is how do you get your congress person involved? thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 the forever wait :(

Today is 4 months since recieving our NOA1 - guess I just need to vent.... somedays I get so down in the dumps..just feel so helpless and the distance is really taking its toll... I read about others who have gone thru the process and are finally together and it helps for the moment - but than im back to the wait... our typical conversation is " I miss you " - " I miss you more" - " I love you " - "I love you more"....
Just want him here..... I know I sound like a baby :( its just so hard being apart...

I should just count my blessings in having this love - this amazing man - the four times I got to travel to Jordan and be with him...

back to work ....

been almost 8 months here and so far i have only been able to afford to visit Jordan twice I miss him so much I feel like im gonna die sometimes

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat can I expect

If your household is just yourself and your fiancé, then it is $18,912. The amount goes up as the household count increases. You can view the 2012 poverty guidelines here: http://www.uscis.gov...form/i-864p.pdf

Thank you so much leftcoastlady you are so nice for helping me

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat can I expect

Ok so I am a newbie and i file my I-129f k-1 visa app in june they received it jun, 15. 2012 they only response other than the receipt I got in mail is a request for a copy of my fiance's passport which i got in july since then i have not heard anything. i call at least once a month to check my status and check online evryday nothing ever changes. should i be worried? can you walk in to a field office and ask to view your case? and am I going to have to file a I-134 support avdt. Im worried about that one because I dont make that much money but my fiance is an engineer and im sure he will get a great job once here but what ever our situation he would never become dependant on the government for living exspenses

Does anyone know the amount of income I as the petitioner would have to make yearly for my k1visa to be approved im strting to freak out a little lol
pumpkinpie2FemaleJordan2012-10-19 09:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat can I expect

According to your timeline: Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between December 20, 2012 and December 26, 2012*.

So that's when you can anticipate your case will be adjudicated, although given it's right around the holiday season, it may be earlier or very possibly later. Calling every month seems like a practice in futility since you're not going to get any more information from the phone drones on the status of your case.

On the affidavit of support, the petitioner has to file that, yes. If you don't earn enough to support your household, you should look into if the embassy/consulate where your fiancé will interview accepts co-sponsors.

Instead of calling the USCIS, be sure to spend time looking ahead at the next steps. Getting the petition approved is just the first of many hurdles you and your partner will be jumping over, so be prepared for what's next by reading the guides, reading the embassy/consulate reviews, the POE reviews, etc.

Good luck!

thanks
