They got our reply for RFE on the 19th, so looks like we are both waiting for the NOA2's around the same time. We were told it could take up to 60 days for a reply, but I am really hopeful it will not take that long. Next week would be fantastic. Hope good news comes to you soon, bryneff!

Same to you sjs87!!seen some who is at the same boat as we are but getting there NOA2 after a week or two for CSC so i guess and praying it would come soon!!!keep us updated too sjs87 if you get the NOA2..dancin5hr.gif

My advice.. I would put the correct dates on the new form and maybe attach a note to say that you had made a mistake on the previous form. Just in case your employment details gets looked into. You will need to provide pay stubs if it was your last line of work, and if they dont match, it could be a red flag that may slow your case down while the correct details get investigated.
This is my advice only not the correct know-how. Good Luck

ill just prepare a g325a with correct dates i guess.it wasnt my last line of work thats why i made a mistake because it was year 2010 but when i recheck my certificate of employment thats where i saw the problem. hopefully they wont look into it. btw, im the beneficiary and was filling up my forms when i saw the issue.

Update on our case.. 
We have our hardcopy RFE and it was for exactly what we had been expecting. Divorce decrees. My fiance did send them a copy of his final divorce, but like we had been expecting, they want decrees from all 3 marriages that he has terminated. (He married very young and it didn't work out too well). 
And for those of you who are worried about red flags due to age, please dont. My fiance is 30+ yrs older than me (hense why all the prior marriages), and things are progressing quite well. I may get questioned at interview, but i'll be ready to answer those. 
Sounds like things re moving nicely for most here. 
Congrats to those who are taking the next step with case numbers and I wish NOA2 to come quickly to those who haven't heard anything yet. Please dont give up.

Best wishes to everyone.





Great! Go and send it today..lol! were close having the same approval date i think..

Def need to stay positive.. Good things happen when they are smile.png

I do hope that everyone's week brings great joy for further news ahead. It's times like these that I hate being in Australia. By the time it's Monday in USA, it's almost Tuesday in Ozland. LOL. We are hoping on a hardcopy of RFE so we can send off our evidence that they request. My fiance has the divorce decree copied and ready to mail if thats the only thing they want. I can't wait. I wish I could check his letterbox for him as I would be camping at it. ROFL
Happy Week Everyone.
*Just keep swimming, just keep swimming* and do it with a smile smile.png  goofy.gif



yeah, i know what it feels. i always reminding my fiance to check his mail when we are waiting for the rfe letter or (email) when we are waiting for our petition to be touched.lol!!by the way, we already send our rfe reply today..we might get news next week for it..hopefully!!


bryneffNot TellingPhilippines2013-08-19 04:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

Yep.. Better to be over prepared than under prepared. 
My fiance is in WA so we are guessing Monday or Tuesday. My fiance checked with me how detailed the decree needed to be. I told him to ask for the certified copies with the judge/court seal and signature on them. He had to wait a few extra days for the certified ones too which make me think he did get the right ones and he told the person who was doing the record search that he needed them to satisify USCIS needs. So I think we have covered all bases. 
Meanwhile I'm getting DS forms ready for packet 3 once the NOA2 arrives as I have my 3 children (under 12yrs) coming with me which requires so many extra forms LOL

yeah better to be over prepared for it!definitely make a certified copies on that..the DS forms a little bit tricky also.thank god vj has some examples for it. im doing it also!then do research on our embassy here. lots to do but its worth it!! we will be hearing good news soon!!!!dancin5hr.gif

Easy one. Not an uncommon one thou. Some USCIS staff are fussy LOL. 
If they dont want additional photos of the both of you, I wouldn't send them, but certainly take them along to the interview as extras. Good Luck for the journey ahead dancin5hr.gif 
We haven't got our hardcopy of our RFE to see if they want anything other than divorce decrees. Will have to wait till next week. 

we will take the ones that we have now on my interview, its better to be completely prepare.thanks again!

dont worry you will have it, we got ours within 4 days, my fiance live in arizona so its close enough. and hopefully just your divorce degree that they want.

keep us update also Ozgirl..

hey all! we just got our rfe letter and as surprising as it is they only want the passport photo of my fiance. how odd is that!?!i think the one picture of the two of us is enough for them!lol!do i still need to include the ones that aren't mention?or just follow what they just need?it didnt mention anything about lacking on initial evidence.just that passport photo.anyway, he will send it by monday..this is what it said :

 

  PHOTOS : Submit a passport style photograph for the petitioner, *******   ******** . The specifications are as follows:

 

 Glossy color

 Plain white background

 Unretouched

 Not mounted

 Full frontal facial image

 About one inch from the bottom of the chin to the top of the hair

Taken within the past 30 days

 

Using pencil or felt pen, lightly print the names and A-numbers on the back of each photo. The photos should be placed

in a small envelope and attached on this page.

 

So i guess we need to send them a new photos of my fiance. Whew!i thought it was a bit tricky!LOL!no0pb.gif

We got an RFE too on the 15th Aug, but we have been expecting ours. If you really want to date your pics, I used some software which you can find here that can help you. You can ask it to find the date taken (if the pic was transfered thou it may give wrong date or you can input the right date).

thanks Ozgirl! lifesaver!lol!..i think we will be at the same boat if we are going to be approve..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

Hey there sorry you got a rfe. On the positive side it's probably something simple to fix. We got approved 29th July none of our pictures had a digital date. What we did was to write who was in the pic, the date, where we were and what we were doing at the back of the pictures we sent. we sent a total of about 20 pics like that. But you can send less as long as you add the above info at the back.

Also send recipts if you have not yet sent. E.g shopping,restaurant,hotel, anything where you and your fiance used your credit card and have a recipt as proof. whiles you were in her country.

Plain tickets stubs, iteniary, payment reciepts for plain ticket, passport copy, luggage stubs.

Itbmightbalso just be a common rfe that people get like letter of intent not stating that you intend to marry within 90 days one written and signed by you and one written and signed by her.

Could be a passport picture issue. Hopefully you got the sizing right. We got ours done at Office Depot while I was there and I took the measurements and made the lady takeing the pictures adjust and re measure 3 times before paying $21.00 for the pics lol.

Hope this helps
I hope you send your reply in quickly and get your approval soon. Keep us updated.










we did send the letter of intent to marry for each of us and signed. we send also a copy of the passport and the entry stamp on it.plain tickets and boarding pass was also included. we get our pics done in a photo studio shop, they have the exact size required for visa but i guess we will know if we have that letter.lol!ridiculously, my fiance send one picture oops8rh.gif  thats why we kinda know that will be included in the letter.

Well, we will prepare the rest of the receipts that you said this weekend.

Thanks and i'll update soon!

hey guys! we got an rfe last august 14, 2013 and we are now trying to think of any ways on how to validate the pictures that we are going to send. It doesnt have a digital date on it so we are kinda in doubt if they gonna accept it if we will just put a date on the back. we dont have the mail yet for it but we are now preparing for the possible evidence to send. im telling my fiance to just send even the ones that are not indicated in the mail. for mostly i read in this forum, we have some evidence that we didnt send so i was just making sure we dont get any 2nd rfe in the future.. i know its crazy!lol!just dont want to wait any additional weeks.

So true...it looks like after the 2 day wave of approvals, transfers and RFE's that they have slowed down. I too am happy for the approvals but a tad bit upset/antsy/jealous that I am still waiting. I keep telling myself that it's just not my time and when God is ready for me to take the step it will happen. Hopefully, we'll get approved before month end.

Were just gonna hope for the best i guess!i pray that you get your approval soon..we really need to be our love ones this year!luv.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

Sorry to hear you have not had your approval yet. It will come you just have to site tight. There's lots going on right now with uscis. Particularly with vermonts many transfers. I know your California but it does seem like California has slowed down a little. But keep the hope it won't be long now. May files are getting approved earlier than we are suppose to. I didn't expect a approval till November which would be within the so called 5 months time frame. But I got approved in 2 months 3 weeks. I was probably one of the lucky ones. Also you have to bare in mind it's not on a first filed first approved bases it's on a first background check that comes back on time then they deal with those first while waiting for others. You will get your approval soon keep your spirit up god will do is miracles.

Thanks Nurseling!it really feels good that we have this group that encourage us all the way.i will keep my spirit up!

can i ask how do you check on case numbers? does it depend on your actual case status because i tried to change the last 2 digits and i haven't found any fiance petition near my case number being approved, just I-130 petitions and employment petitions. the ones that i saw near mine was fellow may 21-23 filers. 

i often change the 2nd and 3rd last digit on my case number. found a few of them with the same alien number date being change just like ours thats why i knew there part of our batch..but for this one, i only change the last digit thats why its soooo close. and im very excited already..

We will surely let you know. Im a May 1st filer and we are expecting an rfe on our petition, hopefully not but in case we are.. We already prepare some of the possible requirements.

Possible..but we really don't know.generally, they send us that notice the same as the others except on the dates.soon your beneficiary will be assign with the A#!patience is the only thing that we need right now and a little bit of luck..

Hi May pips! so glad to find this group.. just kinda worried since I've been seeing here that you guys have ur alien registration number changed already.. Mine hasn't come yet cray5ol.gif I believed the alien registration number is meant for the beneficiary right?

Welcome!i think its because you have requested for the typo correction. that's why they dont assign you one this time.We are still not certain why we get to have that notice, some say its a glitch in the system and some say that 2013 filer got to be assigned first with the alien number which is totally different from the previous year. anyway, don't worry about it as long as you have the noa1, you are good for the waiting journey..lol!

 

goodluck!

Hi may filers. Just seen on Igors list that a march 12 noa1 has been approved noa2 on the 24th may with California. What's going on here. This person did not even get a expedite. It's getting confusing as to how these papers are being processed. Doesn't seem fair onside ring people are still waiting from nov dec 2012. Anyone has any input on this situation?

it seems that csc is trying keep up on their average processing time now that DACA is being transferred by other service center.i know its unfair but we never know what's going on there. i read somewhere from a previous employee there that each of them will be evaluated from there officers, fast and efficient will be given extra points but any delays and mishap will be dealt accordingly.i think now each of them just pick any box and work it through..lets just hope we are those lucky people being process right now.be positive everyone!
