USCIS Service CentersTexas Service Center I129F Approvals

Transferred July 10, NOA2 July 26. Just over two weeks. Not too bad considering the average wait time is 5 months from NOA1. My NOA1 was April 10. I called NVC yesterday and was told the same as others about waiting 8 weeks to see a case number. :(

Asia: East and PacificPolice Certificate

I could not seem to find a clear answer on this:

Do we need a police certificate for the Jakarta Embassy? I read somewhere that they don't require that anymore but I was going to get Fiance on it if they do. You guys know how "fast" the Indonesian government likes to work. cray5ol.gif

 

Thank you all in advance!!

Asia: East and PacificHow long from NOA2 to interview Jakarta

 

I understand completely. Sometimes people will ask me how it's going and I explain it to them the best I can but by the time I'm done they are surprised with how much there is to do. Many believe you can just hop on a plane and come here, or once you marry a USC you are invited right in to be a citizen off the bat. So it's definitely great to talk to others who understand what's going on and are in a similar situation. Though with you two having the baby involved I'm sure it's going to be a totally different experience.

 

Well I'm off to bed now, I was able to tell my girl good morning and good night which is how I like to end everyday. Lucky for her it's monday and she has to go to work and I get to sleep tongue.png. Living in the future sure must be tough, though I keep telling her to get us lottery numbers for the games here so we can win big! haha, if only that were true, but alright I wish you a speedy journey and bid you a good night.

 

Haha. They do live in the future. I am the one who has to work and my fiance is at home, enjoying some time off. Thank you again for everything. You have really eased my fears. Good night and good luck! I will keep you guys in my thoughts. :)

I always say if you put it out there and firmly believe in it the Universe will bring it to you. You two definitely have a tough path ahead of you, but if you tackle it as a team I'm sure you can conquer anything. Though I believe some weight will be lifted when he gets here, but I'd also advise to prepare yourself for his adjustment here in the US. I can only imagine that will be tough in itself too, but at least you two will be together then.

 

I believe the same thing also. I am not worried about the AOS and green card. I know it will be a long road but I am not that worried about it. I am just worried about getting him here so I can work and he can stay with our daughter. Of course, like every other person here, I want him here for me too. ;)  Thank you for the reply. It means a lot to me that I have people here to talk to about this. As you all know, most people don't understand how frustrating it is to deal with the long waits and time apart.

Asia: East and PacificHow long from NOA2 to interview Jakarta

I think you are reading the processing times wrong. According to the VJ processing times, the latest K-1 applicants are interviewing around 300 days from their initial filing, not their NOA2. Looks like it's an average 2-month wait from the NOA2 to the interview date for Indonesia. 

 

Maybe I was reading it wrong or it was for a different visa type. I'm not sure. I know I feel much better now! Thank you so much!

Asia: East and PacificHow long from NOA2 to interview Jakarta

 

Sorry to hear about the situation you two are in but not surprised about the expedite being denied, as I hear there is none for the K1s. As for your question, it all depends. If you were one of the ones transferred to Texas I would say it will probably be about a month before it leaves the NVC and heads to your embassy. From there it can take a month before you have everything else in order, and also depending on what interview dates are available. I can only base on my current experience, which is still at NVC since our approval date of 6/26 and only recently getting a case number from the NVC through the Dept of State.

 

To help expedite the process you should, if you haven't already, started to gather all the documents he will need for his Interview and sending them out to him.  

 

Someone else can chime in from CSC or VSC how long it is taking for their approved petitions to get to the NVC and leave to the Embassy.

 

In a nutshell I would say you still have 2 to 3 months to go.

 

Thank you for the info.:) I figured about 2 months more. I heard Indonesia was one of the faster embassies to interview. I was one of the TSC transfers and I just got the NOA2 today. I am just having a very hard time doing all of this alone and my only help (my mother) has to have surgery but is trying to put it off because she is the only one who helps with my daughter. I work nights as a nurse, so my schedule makes it difficult to get child care anyway, let alone, a child with illnesses. We will get through this. We have been doing it this long, we can do it a while longer.

Also, I would like to add: even though our visa only took 3.5 months, we have been apart for over eight months. It has not just been three months.


izzylove11Not TellingIndonesia2013-07-28 23:33:00
Asia: East and PacificHow long from NOA2 to interview Jakarta

it only took 3 months for your NOA2, that is very fast

 

I realize that it was very fast but we applied for expedite because of our daughter's severe medical illnesses. We were denid the expedite. I am trying to work and care for a very chronically ill child by myself. Time is everything for us. It's not the typical "wanting him here because I miss him" scenario. Even though, I do miss him like crazy. I NEED HIM HERE TO HELP WITH THIS CHILD. Child care is almost impossible because no one else wants to take care of her. :)

Asia: East and PacificHow long from NOA2 to interview Jakarta

Hi! We just received our NOA2 today. I was so happy that it was approved and then I started looking at other people's timelines. I see that a lot of people had interview dates that were 300 days out from their NOA2. Please tell me we don't need to wait another 300 days. I am shaking because I am so scared we are in for another long wait. :(

Well, that's good. And if you want, you can bring copy of the email they sent you as a proof that they allow co-sponsor, because i'm planning to do that, just in case wink.png

 

I need a copy of the email. LOL. I didn't get a reply back to mine. I make plenty but I didn't work the last two years, so I was bringing a co-sponsor just in case my employment history wasn't long enough.

I am glad I read this. We were first told 7 days. Not 7 working days. So, when my fiance called about getting his medical exam in 7 days, they told him it wasn't ready. I was scared that there was an issue with the clinic. :)

I am sure this has been discussed numerous times but, just to be clear, how long should I wait to start calling the NVC for a case number? I am really hoping thy are starting to move TSC cases faster now! Thank you for any replies!

Hi guys! What is the average wait time to receive a case number from NVC as of now, if transferred from TSC? I have seen a lot of different posts but not sure what wait time we are actually looking at. Thank you! :)

National Visa Center (Dept of State)30-90 days from USCIS to NVC

I called USCIS to see where my NOA2 hard copy was since it has been over two weeks since our email approval. After being transferred to a tier 2 rep, he informed me that our case would be transferred to NVC within 30-90 days of the approval date. That's even longer than the 8 weeks being reported by NVC. I am so confused. Why can't they just ship them to NVC and generate a number? Is it really that hard? I guess I don't understand the whole process. I am praying we all get our cases settled quickly and that it does not take anywhere near 90 days from our approvals to do it.

I am normally no fan of people trying to get their cases expedited, but for you I really hope it works out. Sounds like your baby needs both mommy and daddy around.


Thank you. I am not really a fan of expediting either. I believe everyone should wait their turn but when this happened with my daughter, I thought it warranted a try, for her sake as well as his. I will keep you all updated. Thanks for the support. :thumbs:

Hope you can soon get a good respond back and that your baby girl get well. best wishes stay positive

Thank you Jen and Jorge. I am hoping she will get better soon and I would gladly wait out my time in USCIS! We appreciate the support.

Hi BigDog. I am very well aware of the criteria for expediting. I am very confident that my daughter's illness is bad enough that we should receive expediting but, as we all know, it just depends on the person who picks up your file. I hope whoever it is, they're in a kind mood that day! I could really use some help with our baby girl.
:wacko:

Welcome and good luck. I will be in Hot Springs this summer.

Really? You should give me a shout. I have lived in Hot Springs my whole life, other than when I was in Indo with my hubby. It's a beautiful town but can be a little boring. B-)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJust filed K-1 Visa. Expedite requested.

What was your reason for the expedite?


My reason for expedite was due to extenuating medical circumstances of our five month old baby girl. She is currently very ill and requires around the clock care by doctors, nurses and therapists. All of this also causes significant financial hardship due to me not being able to work all of my scheduled shifts. The doctor seemed to think her illness was severe enough to get the expedite. She has bilateral brain bleeds and possibly a stroke. We are still waiting on the final results about that.

What she said ^^ :)

Oh and welcome and good luck!
