Hello everyone. Hope everyone is doing well. I have a question for anyone who has traveled during the paperwork process. We have received our NOA1 and are patiently (not really) awaiting our NOA2. Alan would like to come over for about 3 or 4 weeks around the holidays this year, but we are not sure if this is possible. We have tried e-mailing the Sydney consulate because they are the only people who e-mail us back, but we havent got a real direct answer. Has anyone traveled during this process? He will be coming from Australia to Florida. Can we do this during this process or do we have to wait?


Corinthians is right -- traveling on the VWP is no problem during K1. There are plenty of people here on the forums who have done it multiple times. The only thing it be careful with is for the non-US citizen to carry proof of ties to his/her home country on the travels to ensure entry. This would be some things like proof of employment, a lease, bank statements to show you have funds to support yourself, etc. Long stays seem to cause more trouble than short stays, also.



Just as a heads up, it's not always no problem--unfortunately, there are some posters have had their SO turned away at the border (and I'm currently incessantly worrying that that will happen to us in October!). Be sure your SO brings lots of evidence of "strong ties" to his home country (as said above, leases, letters from work that you're returning, etc.), and I've read that it also might help to have a copy of the I-129F application as well to show that you all are going the "legal" route. Good luck!!!




HEY ALL!! sorry been away I had a bad infection in my leg so I am off work till weds or thurs:(

I have a question for you all

Hello fellow VJers's!

This is my first time on the site. I submitted my i-29F and got my NOA1. I also have an account in USCIS but I can not figure out if where can I check if I got a touch headbonk.gif . Would I be notified through my email address or through my USCIS account? unsure.gif helpsmilie.gif

Thank you VJ Fams!


Welcome to the forums! I copied and pasted my response to someone else from the July Vermont thread :
"If the date that's displayed differs from your official NOA1 date, you've been touched. Keep in mind that there will only ever be one date displayed. It's not like a list of dates appear, the numbers will just change. If it hasn't been touched, don't fret! Lots of people go through the process with few, if any touches. They're not an incredibly accurate reflection of what's being done with your file."


As for wedding planning- I think we're going to do a classy elopement somewhere. Is anyone else doing this? Since we're looking at early to mid winter for approval, his family can't fly out while his siblings are still in school and his friends are working on their Masters degrees. And what's a wedding without the other half's friends and family? I'm also a full time student so I don't have a great deal of flexibility in the winter either. I think we're just going to elope and throw two huge parties within the next year or two, one in the U.S. and one in the U.K. We're looking into www.butterflyhollow.com because they've got a fantastically priced elopement package and it seems so much more personal than going to Vegas. I told him so long as we get gorgeous photographs and I can wear a poofy white dress, I don't care how we do it smile.gif. Naturally, as a guy, this makes him incredibly happy. I could tell he was bored to death talking about centerpieces and floral arrangements.



we were going to do this BUT decided on a casual/classy wedding princess bride mixed in
He will where a tux and my son will to (he is standing up for him) I have a beautiful simple white dress
Colors are royal blue and lilac with hints of soft green/ivory/white.
our cake that I am making will be two squares and the top will be round. I have already bought our goblets ect.

We are setting up round tables and just seating people throughout on both sides with an isle down the center of the tables. (his family and friends are trying to fly out..BUT very spendy to fly) We are having the wedding AT the reception hall ...WAY cheaper and it has a small stage thing with steps in front for us to get married on.

SO far so good!!!

Guten abend and boa noite. Aubrey was my inspiration for that one. innocent.gif

I've been lucky with both sets of family so far. All my gripes would go under the US CIS visa waiver program and POE police are lame thread. Once you apply for a visa it seems like nobody from anywhere other than western europe or canada is getting in this country. Or the why can I fly to Brasil for $1100 but to fly from Brasil to here is $1500 to $2000 thread.

Remember how simple things were before the government got involved? Everyday seems like G325 this or I94 that or $455 here and $1010 there. It's crazy.


I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay
tomorrow after work I will post some of our plans and pics of what we have done so far for our wedding..Man I cant wait and I so agree...Our loved ones cant be here sooner (being they hired ALL those folks) yet others who are not doing it the legal way get here sooner it seems SIGH

Is there a thread on VJ for people to discuss their wedding and honeymoon plans? I can't seem to find one. Since all of us are dealing with trying to throw a wedding that involves at least two countries, and all of us are pretty limited in honeymoon options unless we get Advanced Parole- it only seems reasonable that there should be somewhere where we get gather and talk about the fun, frilly stuff instead of just the logistics of filling out papers!


not that I know of but I say we July fliers do it here so we can all see what we all have planned..from simple to whatever and SUPPORT each other on this wonderful journey!!!
I would love to see what everyone is planning..ideas you name it..MAYBE we can pitch in together and even share ideas...recipes for weddings you name it...I will post mine later on because I am taking the grandkinds home

I'm glad to see most people have gotten their NOA1s by now. Congrats to you all, and I hope the remaining get yours super fast!

I finally got my answer from my parents tonight about the co-sponsor/affidavit of support, so I thought I'd give an update. After plenty of drama and my father freaking out (he printed like 50 pages of ####### from the USCIS website to read!!!), they agreed to co-sponsor. The catch: I have to write some letter saying that if the affidavit went into effect that any money they paid would become a loan that I had to repay them. That's some superb trust right there, isn't it?

The whole thing has shattered my faith in my family, and if I didn't need them to co-sponsor, I'm so ticked off I wouldn't even invite them to my wedding. Maybe I'll get over it by the time Andreas and I finally do get to set a wedding date, huh? It's a long time away. crying.gif

Anyways, thanks for all your support already. <3 I'm still in this!



WOW can we say you had some bad drama girl..I been there!! kais mom was like that to. I was going to move there and the closer it got to start the visa for Australia the more she freaked out and made me feel SO unwanted and poor kai went through hell. SO we understand! I so can't blame you for how you feel. I would feel hurt to.
I am happy though that THEY agreed to do this!!! This means your sweetie will be home in YOUR arms forever where he belongs!

BIG HUGS!!

Hello! I'm Jenny, another July filer! I have a question, on ppl's time lines it says "touched". what does that mean? does that show up on the status check that your case has been touched? Is it a big deal when your check is cashed?
This is my first post so sorry I'm new at this. I filed in CA in July and got my Noa 2 weeks ago. This wait is hard but its so cool to see i'm not alone!!



First off Congratz to all!

Okay if you go to the Uscis website and look under case status online; there is a sign up area you can sign up ( it will tell you how to and follow it because it is rather picky)
once you are in and have your case number put in from your NOA-1 you can go online there to check your status. You will see a date like 7/28/08 and so on every time you see this change...THIS is considered a TOUCH
https://egov.uscis.g.../jsps/index.jsp

hope this helps:)smile.gif

VJ estimates your NOA2 date for you. Check out your own timeline. smile.gif
After NOA2, they send stuff to the national visa center, then to your country's consulate. If you haven't already, check out the K1 guide and flowchart. It explains everything pretty well.

I hope everyone had a restful weekend, and keep your chins up!


Thanks for the helpsmilie.gif Aubrey! Dont know what we would do without u! good.gif rose.gif One thing I dont understand, how come VSC filers timeline is so different than CSC? unsure.gif

P.S. I found out today that Islamabad embassy dont issue the visa rite away.. That Sux..They do this AP(security check) thing & it takes foreva & I mean foreva mad.gif Most embassy's will issue the visa right after the interview.. Some will mail it a week later But Islamabad embassy! crying.gif sad.gif That just mean more waiting! wacko.gif


That's a bummer, but try not to get ahead of yourself. The whole thing seems overwhelming when you worry about stuff that isn't here yet.

I got my own bad news today. My parents are having second thoughts about co-sponsoring us. Apparently my mother just now told my father about it and he's all concerned he's going to get charged money. I'm on my last year of a second degree, so I don't meet the I-134 income requirements myself... so I'm majorly concerned. And to top if off, he gave me heck about whether I knew my SO well enough and that we don't have enough money to do this ourselves, and that we aren't using a lawyer... ranting33va.gif Bad day!!!

Cross your fingers for me, as I have some major problems coming if they back out of co-sponsoring.


WOW you serious?? This is why I did not move to Oz because of this..Kais mom was the SAME way was bad all around. I will say a pray for you all! Maybe print off some papers showing your father he will not be responsible.
I think folks like that do not realize you CAN fall in love with someone far away. IN fact Communication skills and emotions are better I think then the normal meeting in person thing. I know we have INTENSE emotionally feelings because of this. Or is it just us? LOL

HUGS GIRL!!!!!!!!!!! Will be thinking of you both!!!

or is all this done thru the Embassy in her country?



The address you used on the I-129f is the one they will use

Hey guys maybe this will be usefull at least, i read the statement below on this forum (this maybe the reason for NOA1 delays: unsure.gif

Now here is how this touches us. According to my co-worker, regardless of whether or not your H1B petition was filed on time, come July 31, the USCIS puts all H1Bs aside and will not process nor even look at a single H1B until next April. According to my calendar, it is July 15, only 16 more days for H1Bs to be processed. I am taking a guess here, but I would imagine that the H1Bs have been taking up over 80% of the officers at the VSC and come Aug 1, I suspect to see a massive realignment of work priorities and with a little luck, those I-130s/K3s will start getting pushed on out the door.



Hm, I wonder if that's the case. Either way, that's pretty crummy for us. June filers don't seem to be experiencing this slow down; I'm not understanding why it started for us July filers. I guess I will continue my grumbling and pouting about it!

We just filed ours today. But I have a problem regarding the Q18. We haven't met within two years because of his Naturalization process.

Is that considered as extreme hardship for us to meet? FYI we have a son and we've been together for almost 8yrs.

I hope it won't cause any problem.


I had to reread this ..sorry I am slow today. Well it is obvious you both have met but not been together in the last two years
This is what I found from VJ
how do I prove extreme hardship

How Do I File A Hardship Waiver?


hope this helps
