Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Hello Romania!!!

I was able to schedule the date I wanted for the interview, and that was last year in June. I don't think that has changed...but everything will be explained in the instructions the foreign fiance gets from the consulate :)

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Hello Romania!!!
Buna Ciprian, si eu am obs ca nu prea e activitate pe aici:)
Am vaz ca ai intrebat cat dureaza pana ti se aproba petitia. Sincer, eu una nu stiu sa iti zic dar poti sa vezi Processing times pe site-ul lor: https://egov.uscis.g...TimesDisplay.do
Daca ai intrebari legate de viza, de ce nu le pui in forumul de aici la work visas? Acolo ai mai multe sanse sa primesti raspunsuri decat aici;)
Mult noroc in continuare!

sorry, there was supposed to be a link there, in my last post :P

ssa? ssn? :-) you lost me :-)

I will start to make some research to see what i have to do once i get there, and useful advices like yours helps very much. Thanks for that.

Applying for ssa and ssn has a fee?

For how long are you waiting for your AOS?

 

 

Oh, sorry, my bad!

 

SSA is the Social Security Administration(where you go to apply for a SSN) and SSN is the Social Security Number. 

SSN is sort of similar to the romanian CNP. Applying for SSN is free.

Well, I've sent my AOS paperwork at the end of February, so I haven't been waiting for long. I am waiting now for the local office to schedule the interview.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)ROMANIA K1 ...HANDS UP!

Aos is quite simple, similar to k1...just a piece of advice..when you get here, before you get married, go to ssa and apply for ssn in your maiden name, then get married and go to ssa again to change your name on it (if you are going to change your name). I know it's a lot of hassle, but if you apply for ssn in your married name, it might take some time till they find you in the system, cause they'll have you in their database with your maiden name (the name you used to enter the US). Also, this process with ssn (apply for one, change your name) must be done in the first 76 days of your entry, otherwise you'll need a USCIS document (like EAD, GC)

good luck to you all :)

 

tips: smile all the time, be happy, and don't worry, 90% of the visa you already have, the rest depends on the interview and the answers you give :)

 

Icirt, if I remember correctly, your fiance has to let the embassy know that you will be joining your fiance at the interview. Otherwise, I don't think they'll let you in (this is just in case you didn't know :) )

 

Edit: just wanted to add: the embassy staff are very friendly and always helpfull. They don't bite lol

I received my NOA2 on February 14 and hard copy on February 22. When should I start contacting NVC to see if they received my case? Is it better through email or phone?
Thanks for the help

 

Hey, congrats on your NOA2! :) 

In our case, my husband (back then, my fiance) contacted NVC after 1 week. It usually take 1-2 weeks before you can contact them and give you a BCH case number. I think it's better to contact them through phone, it's faster :)

You'll find the phone no here:

Good luck on the up coming interview!

Buna! :) I'm (or was ) the beneficiary as well 

As far as I know, at Regina Maria you can schedule the appointment whenever you want, you don't need the NVC case number or any confirmation. That's where I did my medical and the staff is really nice.

 

Also, we have a group on Fb, if you're interested :) https://www.facebook...20291304693940/

 

Good luck! :)

Hello

 

My first post today, anyone else from Romania on K1 their journey?

Our NOA2 came on Feb 11... now waiting for the NVC to receive our file and give us a case number.

 

I'm wondering at what stage can I schedule the interview? Can I simply call the Consulate after I get my case number? Or do we have to wait for our case to arrive in Bucharest and then their instructions in the mail?

 

Thanks smile.png 

Hey, 

 

Congrats on your NOA2. I see they are moving really fast now, which is awesome! :D

You need to wait for the case to arrive at the Consulate, then the instructions and once the beneficiary sends back the instructions signed, then you can call for scheduling the interview. Once the case gets to the Consulate, everything should move faster :)

 

Good luck!

Aloha :)

as long as you've seen each other in person and have lots of proof about your genuine relationship, everything should go smooth. i remember bringing to the interview our photo album, which had over 100 pics in it, but because it wouldn't fit under the window, the consul never asked for it, so nobody over there got to see our album...(bummer! :P) just make sure you and/or your fiance brings a lot of evidence about your relantionship :)

Checking in here. Interview is on the 18th and we are both super nervous! Im the most worried about filght delays because of the terrible weather happening on the East Coast.

 

hey there! good luck for the interview! don't worry too much about it, it should go easy and painless :) out of curiosity...are you the beneficiary or the petitioner? :)

Doing much better, but still dealing with a couple things. Luckily she is tougher than I am. laughing.gif

 

We are looking at getting back on track with the visa stuff next week. So, hopefully we don't have to file for an extension.

 

I'm glad to hear that :)

National Visa Center (Dept of State)FACEBOOK CHAT

Copy paste to microsoft word?

it gives you a headache if you do it like that..
just go to Account settings and there is an option "Download a copy of your Facebook data." click that and when you receive a copy go to messages and then you can copy paste it into a word document. i already did that, it just needs to be updated:) and i also took some screenshots from fb messages:)
good luck!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)caution about I-134, financials for interview

That's terrible! But I can't say that I'm surprised.

 

My fiance sent me the financial documents with FedEx, and we had no problem. I highly recommend in the future, when you're sending important document to another country to use express courier, like Fedex or DHL. They are a little more expensive, but it arrives fast and without any problems.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)RE: NVC case # from VSC/TSC/CSC Timeframe

Hello everyone! New here, just signed up tonight. My question is how do you know when the NVC recieves your case? Will they email? Or do I just need to call them and try to see if they recieved it?

 

My petition was only approved on the 12th so not expecting them to recieve it anytime soon, but was just curious how I will know the NVC recieved it.

 

You call NVC and ask them if they received your case from USCIS, if yes, then ask for case number and when will it be shipped to Bucharest. Good luck! :)


cazzersFemaleRomania2013-07-17 04:32:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)MRV Receipt #?

Because K1's pay at the Embassy on the day of the interview, you can not go any further from that point on ustraveldocs.com. There is a phone number from the call centre. Tell your fiance to call there and explain the situation and ask what to do next. It will probably get a number, and he takes that number to the interview and he'll be ok. 

 

In order to schedule the interview, your fiance needs to send back the package to the embassy with the 3 forms filed out, a copy after his passport bio page and 1 passport type photo, and the instructions signed on the back. Only after the embassy receives this package from your fiance, only then he can call to schedule the appt.

Sept 4, 2013 4:35 pm....I received my k1 visa after almost 49 days in ap....thank you so much, Lord...

So dear friends ....my advise call your us Embassy after 10 days of your interview especially if you are in AP Status....keep the faith and hold on to love...

God bless everyone....hugs.




Just viewed your timeline dear. Wow that was a long wait. So as u said call the embassy after 10days in ap, i want to know why? Well im not calling them yet, just sent an email and they said im under review. You think it will help when i call them after 2weeks maybe?

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC... 8 weeks to receive case?

If your case from CSC, it will be at NVC in about 1 week after approval

 If your case goes  from VSC to NVC , it will take a week.

If you were a VSC and transferred to TSC. It takes 3 to 4 weeks for your case to be forwarded to NVC after approval.

 Hi. How come if our case from VSC transferred to TSC, it will take 4 weeks to get to NVC? Why that long?

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)In AP: Retaining an Attorney

 

I defintely plan on writing a letter of complaint...just mostly likely after we are issued. For some reason I fear some form of retaliation may happen. This is so frustrating waiting with no answer. After seeing updates each week for the last month, no updates on our case all of last week. So not sure what to think...will they be issuing it, is it sitting in a pile, or did they decide to send to US. I guess if they are claiming the case was not denied under 221(g) then i can speculate our file is sitting in a pile somewhere. There is another K1'er who had the same interview date as us and is still waiting for visa to be issued. So not sure if it has anything to do with our date. All I know is it is another week of torture not knowing when or if our visa will be issued. I did follow through with our Congress person who was working on our inquiry today. Pray we get it soon. I know this is the man I want to marry, because if he wasn't I surely would not be putting myself through this emotional rollercoaster.

 

Hopefully your congress person can get things rolling, you are in my thoughts daily. I can't imagine how painful this must be for both of you.....We are getting married next week and we couldn't be happier so it is worth it in the end - hang in there!

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)In AP: Retaining an Attorney

I agree.....The embassy will not respond any better/faster to an attorney than they will you. Get your congress person involved, write a formal letter of complaint to the embassy and hope that they respond.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)The Waiting room for fiancé visa case number is it 10 days or 20

Okay, here's my latest update and my 2 centavos on this.  Just checked the CEAC website and this is what I got.

 

Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center.

 

So it looks like my case is now on the way to the embassy? 

 

Just FYI, my NOA2 also said that my case was "forwarded to the listed consulate".

Asia: East and PacificAfter NOA2 Japan questions

We just finished this process. After the NOA2 you just wait until they send you the packet. It has details on everything you need to do. It sounds like she is already ahead of the game with some of the paperwork. If she has questions she can call the embassy and ask. If she chooses the Japanese language option when she calls she can get an operator immediately. I tried to get an english speaking operator when I called and had a 25 minute wait, then the call was dropped :/
