I know this is for 2010...but on average, how long did it take you all to get your NOA2?

Well, I would be just above the poverty line by myself, but do I really need a sponsor? Doesn't that mean they are responsible for my financial needs if I get in trouble?

Hi, I want to know....how much evidence is needed for the K-1 visa? We want to get married now, but we're so young, so I'm afraid that will make it difficult. We talk for six hours on the phone everyday, and we plan out our future, but we are also just above the poverty line. Are we doomed?

I was 20 when I petitioned my husband. No troubles, but during the interview, the CO did mock our young age for marrying and asking why we don't continue college before marrying. But we passed :) Good luck on your journey!

Am I wrong to not worry about the fact that Ice is Buddhist and I am Protestant? I wonder if that would make anything different at his interview? And how would they even know what relgions we are anyway?

Good luck to you Ning & Ice. Our Interview date is in 18 days O_O. The misses leaves for Moscow a week before. So less than 3 weeks and we get a verdict. Im trying so hard to stay focused and remain determined to get my loved ones here. Its the only thing keeping me going at my job that I hate so much with incompetent workers but I know I have no choice but to deal with it. Remember the reasons for doing what you are doing and stay focused on the goal ahead. Time is our only enemy, Remember that. Good luck to all of you guys. Stay blessed.

That is so true. :/

I believe it's time to shake up this May board a little. Some folks have their visas, some already done got married and all. But hey...some of us still need some positive vibes and smiles now. This ####### is HARD!!!! Geez. Ok...happy things....Niing & Ice have their interview this week. So HAPPY THOUGHTS...good luck to you guys!!! And from what I can tell, all of us original May folk have gotten at least some NOA 2 news. Am I wrong? So...things are happening. And I hope to wake up to my interview date in my inbox. And I'm PRAYING it's in Jan/Feb. Because when I look at this interview schedule http://www.usemb-ank...chedule_iv.html it does NOT make me warm and fuzzy. I'm also concerned my father will not be able to come to my wedding if we have to schedule it later than March. :( SO.....hook a sistah UP! I want good vibes and happy holiday type stuff.
CMONNNNNN MAY TEAM!!!! :)


I'm so glad to hear that everyone (we think) has gotten NOA2 now. And I really hope you get your interview date soon. I know it's torture. We waited over a month to know when, and Ice was going insane. I'll tell ya, the month before NOA2 and waiting for the interview were the most emotionally draining times for me. I saw that the other day YJPlove got the NOA2!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

Ice has his interview on Wednesday the 14, meaning Tuesday night for me. Please pray for a good outcome. He's getting excited now that he can leave that horrible apartment. The flooding is down, but much of the surrounding areas are destroyed. Hopefully he can be on a plane by this next weekend because I am halfway moved out, and its weird not having anything in my room anymore... :)

EDIT: Sabrina, that's nice that they at least put the visa type there on the schedule. ;)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2011 Filers

Ive got a question. So the NVC has sent and received the approved application in Moscow. What is the next step? I gave them a call yesterday and they said we have to pay for the Visa upfront using an MRV receipt before we can schedule an interview. Also they said they would send her some information but most of it can already be found online as to what to bring for the interview. I was expecting them to first send packet 3 then set up interview then pay for Visa, then possible approval. Im a bit confused by this very strange order of things. anybody filing in Moscow had the same process or can someone give insight as to whether this is ok? Thanks

Yozhik



You might want to repost this in the Russian region section because each embassy is different and it helps more if you go to regional discussion after you're done with the NVC (that's why I kind of disappeared :lol: )

had the interview Friday at the usem and we got approved!!! i'm sure it really helped i was there for the interview, but i think even if i wanst she'd have been just fine. it was fast too.... we were only interviewed for maybe 3-4 minutes and then she told us congrats and good luck and wait for the visa to arrive. didnt ask for any pics, chat/phone records, paycheck stubs, tax forms, ect... hopefully we get the visa this week while i'm still here cause if so, she'll be coming back with me.
hopefully a few more will get interview's and approvals this week or next, cause this is a stressful process that shouldnt feel like waiting for the next Haley's comet.



CONGRATS! :dance:

Man! Oh, man... I'd forgotten how long of a flight that was. I'm happy to say that we made it to Manila safely and that I've had a chance to hold my little angel. She is soooo precious. I'm also happy to be with my love, but haven't had much time to spend with her yet. She's been busy taking care of Serena. Amy's sister is here with us for the night tonight. I know we'll have plenty of time to get reacquainted.



AWWW I'm so happy for you!!!!

The interview date thing is driving me insane. I went through 50 k-1 bkk timelines, and the average is 50 days from the day they sent packet 3, so that would put me at about Nov. 20. I REALLY HOPE THAT'S RIGHT!!!

Nah, Ice just needs to move away from his family. I'm putting him in a hotel near the embassy. :thumbs:

Got an email from the embassy today saying it will be 2 months to wait for the interview. T_T Not to discourage anyone, but by no means does having NOA2 mean you're done waiting.

Looks like I should quit looking for apartments for us in the US and start looking for apartments for Ice in BKK.....siiiiiiiiiiiigh :(

Riza had her medical last week. She was a day late due to the bad weather and cancelled flights. Went well. She also finally received her NBI clearance. They were super slow kept push the date back. She had to go up the chain of command. LOL Interview is on the 6th! :thumbs:



Good luck!! BTW, when did the consulate receive your petition?

Yes, I got my case number from NVC.

Ning

How do you figure out the DHL number ? My file was sent out on Aug 12, 2011 I used your format and said it can't find the tracking number.



You need to go to Track Shipper's Reference and then type in EXP 12 AUG 2011A and select your destination country.

Aw, yeah, try on monday and then you can figure out what's going on!

And thanks! Crongrats to you too! ;D

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2011 Filers

Also, I've noticed in some signatures, that the NVC received cases and sent it abroad. How were you able to obtain this info?


First call the NVC and ask when your case was sent out.

1-603-334-0700

Press 1 for English
Press 5 for an operator

Then...
If you go to the DHL website, type in this format into the tracking reference: EXP 27 SEP 2011A < but put in the date that your case was sent out. Mine was sent out on Sept 27.

Then this way you can see it traveling! Which, mine was signed for at the embassy by TETPORN at 10:34AM today. Yay! :dance:

Also, Ice just sent packet 3 today too. Should get there on Monday. I hope they can put it together with our case ASAP.

Hi everyone, Just wondering the progress of all May filers that have NOA2 and still waiting for Consulate response. It seem to be extremely long. My NOA2 was approved on 7/21/11 and it is now 9/29/11. I am surprised the wait is so long. From NVC to Consulate in Guangzhou. Since NOA2 approval have 4 months approval limit. What will happen if we do not receive response from consulate for Package 3 ?



I don't know about your country, but in Thailand, as long as you know that the embassy has the petition, you can download packet 3 from the website and send it in.




UPDATE! My case has reached BKK, sending in packet 3 today. If DHL website says it was processed in BKK, does that mean they will deliver it today (sat) or Monday? :unsure:
