US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDHL Tracking From NVC to US Embassy

So even though the letter my fiance got 2days ago from NVC said the petition was being sent to London and gave it a LND # , it is still in fact at the NVC ?

I am confused!

Ok I didn't realize you're doing fiance K1 visa, I'm not sure about the procedures for that visa as we're doing CR-1 Marriage visa! Sorry!!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDHL Tracking From NVC to US Embassy

I am sorry to bother you guys but can somebody help me to track my documents please? My P4 email confirming interview date was received on 1 April 2013 and the country is Malaysia. I can't seem to find my packet on the DHL website though :( I did find one on 28 March but that pre-dates the date of my P4.

You need to call NVC and ask them the exact date they sent your file otherwise you won't be able to track it accurately.

Thanks for the info- glad to know it is possible to reassign- did you contact NVC or the London embassy?

You need to contact NVC. You still have to go through the NVC process so NVC is who you need to contact, London doesn't know anything about your case yet.

Click search and that's your package. I'm pretty sure that's it b/c I also searched the EXP for 03/04/05 APR but nothing was sent to Algeria those days.

US Citizenship General DiscussionName Change at Naturalization, what is required?

My husband's name is spelled craptastically in his passport. I didn't think we had a choice when applying for his green card except to spell his name as in his passport so that's what we did. I thought we could change his name once we got the green card and we're in the states, until I saw that the fee would be $450!

 

So now I see that it's relatively easy to do during the naturalization process so we'll probably do that. My question is, what is legally required? Can we just fill in that we want to change the spelling b/c it's causing problems with pronunciation and blah blah or do we need some kind of legal document that proves that his name should be spelled a certain way? Like a marriage certificate, or translate his birth certificate again so that it reflects the spelling we want?

 

Thanks for any advice :)

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat does this mean ?? Case transferred to local office

because of the slow down with the I-130s atm.  Normally they're put together and adjudicated together and sent together and then the I-129F is closed at the NVC. 

 

Do they usually notify you if your case was put together ?

On September 4, 2013, we transferred your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), to your local USCIS Office for further processing. The new office has jurisdiction over your case and will send you a decision as soon as processing is complete or you will be notified if further information or action is needed. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address.

 

Thanks in Advance !!

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHELP I-129F Approved but SENT BACK ??!

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHELP I-129F Approved but SENT BACK ??!

Hello Guys 

 

I just checked my status today it says the following(see below). This was initially awesome news but then I called USCIS just to confirm and get next steps. I got two different stories:

 

The agent said -- The application was approved by them(USCIS) but then sent to Dept of State and then sent back from Dept of State to them(USCIS) saying USCIS has to reveiw it again and it will take a minimum of 120 days to get re-reviewed he couldn't tell me why ....  I asked to be escalated 

 

The Tier 2 officer said -- The case was already re-affirmed by them (USCIS) and that is would the status below is indicating and that now it has been sent to Dept of Sate. 

 

So I am hoping the real story is the second one .. has anyone experienced anything like this ?? 

Post Decision Activity

On October 4, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

Africa: Sub-SaharanProcess I-129F at Gambian Embassy

Yes, The Gambia Nationals interview in Dakar, Senegal. No, it is not possible to interview in The Gambia.

 

http://dakar.usembas...rant_visas.html

 

You are married and filing a I-129F ?   That is a petition for a fiance. Since you are married you have to file a I-130 

for a CR1.

 yeah there's a I-129f for a spouse as well. 

 

I was told by NVC that it would be sent to Banjul, The Gambia and not Dakar. Did she make a mistake ?

Africa: Sub-SaharanProcess I-129F at Gambian Embassy

Does anyone know if the I-129F (for spouse) interview processing is done at the Gambian embassy? My spouse is Gambian but I have heard many times that Gambians have to go to Senegal for processing. Is it possible to request the interview to take place in Gambia (her country) ?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK-3 Processing Times ?!?!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK-3 Processing Times ?!?!

Hey Guys .. I just wanted to know if anyone knew something that I didn't know. I received my NOA1 for my K-3 I-129F for spouse around Feb 16th 2013. 

My case is still in the initial review stage. At some point I received a notice that said my case was transferred to another office ( not sure where, the notice was very vague ). Is it suppose to take this long for a K-3?? 

 

Also after an approval for a K-3, how long does it usually take for the beneficiary to get a visa in hand ? 

 

Thanks in advanced guys.

You are most welcome.
It just took around 15 minutes.
Started with the test, then my Green card was verified, then review of the application [Do you still stay here, Do you still work here, when did you last go out of States] Last section which has lot of yes/no questions
That's all.


I think I heard someone being sent back because he/she didn't have their birth certificate. [Have your file organized and make sure you carry all the necessary document.]

I had my interview on 2/8/2013 and was little scared about the whole interview thing especially about the Civics Test.
I was finding it difficult to find time to read. Also I thought about 40 questions I already knew by just listening the news and reading online news paper.
It was some questions like ocean on the east etc. which were of concern.

I created this photo [ Attached: US Naturalization imp Question-Desktop background] where i logically tried to have question which are simple but we tend to confuse/forget. I took couple of print outs and kept it several places. [Need not tell which places :)]
I also changed my desktop background to use this image. [Being a software Engineer I am around my computer for more than 12 hours a day] so having a look couple of times a day was very helpful.

It helped me [Got first 6 correct] so may be it will work for others too. Good Luck.
