K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOFF TO POST OFFICE

I am heading offf ot the posr office to mail my I129F, and so my "VISA JOURNEY" starts today.



There are many of us here at the end of the line. Good to have the company!

I've noticed my timeline estimated date for adjudication moved up a week....from last week. Hope that means all the waiting for the March/April filers are getting good news. I know the date is just an educated guess on approval based on the timelines here, but still was nice to see it.

Come on CSC cash my check!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVJ timelines for approval
I noticed this week my estimated time for approval of the K-1 application at USCIS on my VJ timeline was shortened. Could this be due to the recent approvals from the March filers and the updating of their timelines?

I know posting timeline information is controversial and the estimated date here is just a very broad guideline, but for someone like me at the very start of the process (waiting for that check to be cashed), I see a real benefit to keeping the timelines updated.

Thanks to everyone who uses the timeline feature and for sharing your experience on this journey with us. You guys are unbelievably generous and helpful. For those of you still unsure of the timeline function... :time:


Congratulations to all the recent March filers who finally received the NOA2 and God speed to those still waiting.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe wait



My application arrived at TSC on Tuesday...not sure how long it takes to get to CSC, but chances are good that our applications could ride over together :D The only tip I have is to remember you are not alone and this board is a great place for information and support. We are here if you need us.



That would be cool if we were "K1 Sisters". and isn't it crazy you have to apply at TSC just for them to transfer it to CSC.



I like that term "K1-sisters". :thumbs:

TSC transfering to CSC ... agree ... more than crazy!!! :bonk:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP, URGENT !!

Why is it that there is no mention of this in any of the Houston news services? I would think it would be a major story, especially since there have been a series of carjackings lately and they are making the news.



No mention in the news because luckily there is as of yet no death in the case. This is Houston- a shooting isn't going to make the news.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP, URGENT !!

Clara's dad has been shot, at 2'30am houston time, in front of his business. They were trying to steal his car and they shot him. Clara called me in a panick ... her dad is in a really bad situation. Hes lost sense of his chest to his toe, and lost a lot of blood. He got shot 5 times, and at least one of it in the neck. Now its 3 or 4 hours later and they still didnt help him because they wait for a specialist!

I want to be there for her, and take the first plane i can. My dad says its not smart because I can risk losing my job over it. But it seems immoral not to go there, she is my first priority.



I'm here in Houston. If there is anything I can do you for on this end, let me know.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTexas to California?

If we live in the 'Texas zone' do we still mail the applications to Texas and they'll be forwarded or should we mail them to Cali?

Thanks.



Yes, mail to TSC as per the instructions. TSC will then transfer to CSC.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI feel like crying. Guh.

And thankfully, I've come full-circle and am back to my normal optimistic self. But, I'm sure everyone here can attest to having some days where the frustration is just unbearable. And I'm sure, as devilette alludes to, those days only become more fequent the longer you've waited. But that doesn't mean that everyone isn't entitled to having those days.


Just to let you know you are not alone in your sentiments in the original post on this thread. Last night I found jealousy creeping into my head. And it is exactly as your said- you don't wish to take away the happiness for two people being able to move through this process quickly. I feel really happy when I read the recent approvals coming through- especially for these march filers finally getting some action. BUT jealousy is still there on the days i am feeling frustrated and missing my fiance. One emotion exists right along side with the other.

I like how Iceyspots called it a pity party. This forum allows us to come here and whine a bit, get some support and then move on and get back to our normal selves.

Last night was a little frustrating. This morning things are better. up and down seems the be the normal emotional behavior in this process. (Iceyspots may be the exception- she's my role model for optimism and postive energy! Cheers to you Icey! :thumbs: )

I work with a woman from the Ukraine who came here in 1998 on a fiance visit. Her family was in Germany. Her fiance was in the US, so she spend a lot of this time waiting without close family support. She told me that after she arrived in the US, she and her husband often remembered the frustrations and waiting in a sweet positive way. Something they could laugh about- a memory of their early relationship. It was great to hear this from her. reasuring in a way- if that makes any sense.

Here's to quick reunions across the board-

off to work now...hoping to see Iceyspots and GaryC's approvals posted later tonight!!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA pretty good week for CSC - 26 cleared; VSC - 7

Gurdip,
Your Nebraskan file will be sent to California (CSC). CSC is currently processing files from March due to the IMBRA law delays. We hope that this backlog will clear and the original 90-120 day processing time will return shortly. Having said that, USCIS is currently advising their service levels state 6 months and anything sooner than 6 months should be considered a bonus.
I would estimate 4 months for you, but only time will tell.



I think that you gave Gurdip a reasonable and sound answer, but I would add only as a disclaimer that each case is unique and some cases require RFEs and have other glitches that can add to the time. Some petitions are not as straight forward as others to process and approve.

Hey everyone ! We had our interview in Vancouver on Sept.7th and picked up our visa's that afternoon :D What an experience all of this has been!! I wanted to post to take a minute to thank everyone here for all the help and wisdom during the last few months. This really is a great source for information .. without it this process would have been much harder. I posted more details in the Canada specific part of the forum if anyone else is going to have an interview in Vancouver. Anyways .. Thank You all again so much :luv: And the best of luck to those of you still waiting :star:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA1 arrived today

How do I get an estimated approval time exactly.
I have entered the datas so far I could but how do I find out when the estimated date of approval will be?


Thanks in advance



My estimated date is at the bottom of the timeline and was generated automatically when I filled in the dates. I noticed your timeline is filled in but there was not estimated date. Maybe you could PM Capt Ewok and ask why?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOh gods, I'm shaking...

Wow... just... wow. I was JUST bitching today about how I sent my I-129F packet out two weeks ago yesterday and that I was wanting my NOA1, and I told my Réjean to hold on while I check my mail, and 'lo and behold, there it is.

If I get this worked-up over my NOA1, I'm probably going to have a heart attack when I get the NOA2. *LoL*

Oh man... *flipping out in joy* :dance: :dance: :dance:



That;s great news.. I know its just the first step, but CELEBRATE! :thumbs:

It gives me hope too. Mine petition arrives at TSC the day yours arrives at NSC. I'm checking the mail soon!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTime between receipt and NOA1?

Wondering if there is an "average" time between receipt of the K1 package we sent, and getting the NOA1 and a 'file number'.

Thanks!

Danielle




For me- Mailed to TSC on a Friday- 15 days later the NOA1 arrived in the regular mail from CSC. Didn't even cash the check until after the NOA1 was issued and mailed.
