K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril RFEs

Trying not to get my hopes up. The initial wait was so depressing. It seems like if I have no expectations, I'll be better off smile.png

 Tell me about it!  9 months today since our NOA1 but we have hope that we will hear something within the next month or so.  You have only just gone over 7 months waiting and you should also hear from your RFE very soon.  

 

Others have said before, when all this is done and you get the rest of your life with your fiance then this time waiting will seem like nothing :)

 I'm sure you will hear soon!  It seems that CSC is quickly working through the RFEs.  I was expecting to wait about a month before hearing anything about my RFE response, but today I decided to check just in case...and we were approved!  I wouldn't be surprised if you heard by the end of the week.

 

It has been a long wait.  It would be good if we heard something soon.

Congratulations!

i also just got notification that my response was received today

Yay!  Hopefully we will hear something soon.  I will be checking USCIS website every day again (well a few times a day!)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril RFEs

 Just logged in now...and approved!!

 

 We mailed our RFE on April 29.  They received it and updated it in the system on May 2, and today, as of about 30 minutes ago, we've been approved!  CSC is FINALLY working again.  After filing in July 2012 and being depressed and hopeless for months, 9 1/2 months later we are finally approved!!!!!  I've refreshed the page about 5 times because I just can't believe it.

 

Best of luck to everyone!!  I hope you all hear soon!

Congratulations :)

 

CSC just notified us they have received our reply to the RFE on 6th May so hopefully we will hear soon.

First notice RFE 4/23

Second notice RFE 4/26

As suspected, I missed section C question #2.

Will mail out reply 5/3. 

 

Atleast it is an easy one :)  Good luck with the rest of your journey

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril RFEs

Well our RFE hard copy finally arrived on 29th April.  First email was 19th April, 2nd email 24th.

 

My fiance didn't send in the right part of his divorce papers plus he forgot to sign the G325a (Biometrics)!

 

All the other bits that I could triple check, I had. 

 

Oh well, now to just get him to start photocopying the right papers!  Being engaged to the world champion at procrastination when it comes to paperwork means he MAY get round to it in the next week or so!

 

It is discouraging to receive an RFE after such a long wait but I kept saying, well we must have filed something wrong.  The RFE is not their fault it is ours.  So this delay is no longer the fault of USCIS but the fault of my fiance and I.  Oh well, hopefully in the next month or two we will have our approval.  


Oregon BoundFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-04-30 00:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsStupidest RFE in immigration history!

It can easily take a month or more to review an RFE.

 

My fiance hasn't even managed to mail out our response yet. :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportslongest NOA2 wait time ever?

*** Thread moved from K-1 Process forum to the Case Progress subforum. ***

(Organizer hat off)
No one here had a rougher experience than the member Sara, a true sweetheart who's still active on VJ. Her file was lost or misplaced for over two years. She pursued channels with dogged patience, finally reached a breaking point, and at last the NOA2 showed up. Sadly, by that time, her fiance had lost patience with the wait, and the relationship ended.

The epitome of classiness is how Sara handled every joyous VJ post of "We got the NOA2!" In every instance, she posted a sincere response of congratulations without one breath of self-pity, although her heart must have been breaking several times over.

Perhaps Sara will visit this thread and help to put your own waits into a different perspective by telling her story.




Stunned silence here :( Her fiance didn't wait for the system to work for them. Incredibly sad. I hope nobody else has to suffer that :(

Oregon Bound realy will soon be Oregon bound!!!!  My visa was approved at the US Embassy London on Friday 3oth August.  I am sooooo happy right now.

 

It's been a long road but thankfully I am shortly gonna be on my way to a new life with my fiance :)

 

Thank you everyone for your help in keeping me relatively sane on this painful process.

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

Unfortunately the approvals of these December filers got January filers´ hopes up. Mine too, since I didn´t see too many January WAC numbers before mine on the USCIS site. So that means as soon as they start working on January, I should be up next.

But now they´ve returned to working on the old 2012 cases, which I think is absolutely fine since it is only fair.

People get kind of greedy and want their NOA2 NOW although some are only February filers and have only waited 2 months. I want to be with my fiance too, badly!
But I think we have to be a little more humble and realistic, and like you, I´d be superhappy to get mine in late June/July, which would make it 5.5 /6 months.

That is far sooner than what I expected up until CSC started cranking them out like they did last week.

Let´s just be happy and excited that they are indeed working their butts off and let´s hope they continue that way!


All I can add to this is I pray nobody has to be delayed in the way some of us have been. I can not tell you the pain that it causes to have to wait beyond eight months when I initially expected a 5 month wait.

I do not mind when you filed, I just pray that every single person gets processed in a TIMELY manner and CSC never comes to a halt like it did again.

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

Aww, I don't even belong in this thread (November 6th filer), but I've been waiting to see what your RFE could be for, because you seem one of the least likely to have missed anything at all in your petition!  It really is sad and quite puzzling!

 

I'm sorry for your frustration and I hope that it resolves as soon as possible!

 

Sorry I didn't reply earlier.  Somehow I missed this post.

 

We finally got the RFE hard copy.

 

Despite me doing almost all the paperwork for the petition, emailing everything I could to him, mailing him my signed letter of intent to marriage and other bits, HE forgot to sign the G-325a and he didn't include the right parts of his divorce papers.  His complete set of divorce papers are now copied, the form is signed and the envelope is ready to mail back to the service centre BUT he missed the mail yesterday so hopefully he will send it today :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMy Congressman did/did not/maybe helped me get an NOA2

Nah I bet it will be me! My fiance is gonna call Senator Wyden today. He has already been mentioned as not doing much but armed with that information too, well maybe we can try. Just have to get him to sit down and use the phone instead of making burn piles, feeding calves, checking pregnant goat..... :rofl: He hates paperwork type stuff, can you tell? :rofl:


Senator Ron Wyden - Advised us by letter that he had wrote to CSC

Congressman DiFazio - Received reply today (18thApril) Standard letter asking us for info we had already supplied.

We are in Southern Oregon

Did they help? Hard to tell now since CSC is moving so fast but in this case I would say no they didn't.

Think it is the certified copy from the courthouse that you need.  Take it it is the US petitioner that is being asked for their divorce papers?  I am not 100% sure but maybe the courthouse that dealt with your papers would know exactly what you need

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

I got an RFE today. It's something!!!
I am so glad that at least they finally touch my case. I had already thought, they flushed it down the toilet or something.
We should hear anything soon from them, my fiance is waiting for the letter of what evidences they need more from us.
Anyone knows of how long you will get the letter from USCIS since the day you are notified? I am using lawyer service, will they send it to my lawyer or to my fiance directly?
Hang on guys.. the boat is starting to sail!!!



Am glad you heard something at last :) Did your fiance use a lawyer? If he did then I guess the RFE would go to them. I am not certain. We haven;t got that far yet.

If you look at Igor's list, it kinda looks like they slowed up on July to surge ahead with later filers. Kinda like fixing the figures.

No and unlikely this week as CSC is closed because of plumbing problems:

Maybe they've been trying to flush our petitions down their toilets!


They haven't updated yet so no idea whether CSC will be open for business on Wednesday either! Sigh! Ah well, I will keep plodding on here. Just sent off for my police certificate. Think I will see about our immunisations next. Oh joy!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStarting the process to be with my loved one, have a few questions
So you have dated for three years but only actually met last year? So far you have only spent one month together and on the basis of that you want to spend the rest of your lives together? You do realise that if she was issued a fiancee visa you would have to get married within 90 days of her arrival in the US?

My advice would be to spend some more time together, maybe you travel back to Russia if that's possible, before you even consider sending in an I-129F.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures60 day expired after RFE reply
I do not know. The person that usually answers the calls has no further information than what you already have. All i know is that others say to ask to speak to a tier 2 and they usually have more information. I think 60 days seems a long wait after an RFE but I suppose it depends on what the RFE was for.
