K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	K1 VISA_CO SPONSORSHIP NOT ACCEPTED IN MANILA EMBASSY??	Me and my wife have been through this embassy for the same type of visa you seek. I would bet or say for sure that the embassy would not accept a co sponsor. It is totally up to the consular on that day, how they feel, good or bad. did they stay up to late the night before kinda cranky. Also someone else can chime in here. but i would in no way mention that your mother and his aunt are friends and that they introduced you. If i were in your shoes , first thing i would do if i was the boy is come to ph for 2 week trip, takes tons of pics! travel around the islands. when the boy gets home tell him to get another job! part time would even work. The journey is to long and expensive to pin all your hopes and dreams on whether your co sponsor will be accepted. gl to you. TV Edited by NVC FAN :(, 09 August 2010 - 04:28 PM.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January Filers at the CSC - How are you doing?	QUOTE (~Laura and Nick~ @ Mar 4 2008, 06:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (BigCityDave @ Mar 4 2008, 07:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am a December filer but I can't imagine my case being approved anytime before June. This literally sucks, somehow I keep trucking along. June? No no no...I'm sure you'll see NOA2 well before June my friend. Stay strong and keep on truckin!!! Your kidding right ? Csc has slowed their pace with K-1 rather than speed up lately. It seems that their priorities are much different than VSC they get 6 months to process these and it appears the current CSC policy is to use the whole 6 months. To add insult to injury CSC takes a month to even get the apps to the State department after you receive your NOA2. VSC gets them there in a few days typically.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March 2009 K1 Filer	QUOTE (soulreaper83 @ Oct 3 2009, 05:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Kimbear @ Oct 3 2009, 10:08 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yup. we noticed a mistake on our paperwork back in april and told lawyer to fix it. he never did. our paperwork made it all the way to the consulte and it was them that denied it and sent it back. after 7 months we are getting an RFE. i just got the email from CSC. and even though yes according to csc they made a mistake not noticing this, the expedite that the immigratin officer said they would do, was denied as well. all in all the lawyer costed us 4 months of total bullsh1te. csc is backed up now, and telling us 3 months to process an RFE. And because of this i just know i'm going to end up in AP, so i'm expecting this whole process to take 2 years now. it's already been 7 months and with the wait for interviews at montreal the way it is..shrug. As it stands my sister has to move, so i'm going to be without a place to stay so i'm a have to move provinces back to ontario since i can't get a job in quebec due to my french sucking. overall i'm completely demoralized atm. if i could go stay with David for a couple months i would..but i can't give enough proof of ties and i doubt noa2 would really make a difference since i was refused twice already at poe i'll get extra scrutinzed. Hey I'm really sorry that happened to you. This process is ridiculous!! We are actually in a similar boat, we just realized our lawyer never asked us to write the "letter of intent" to marry; also i don't think he attached my fiance birth certificate (to prove that she is a citizen. When we spoke to him about it, he told us not to worry and that if USCIS needs anything they will send a RFE. We dont want to wait for that as it has already been almost 7 months!! What should we do to send the missing documents (how can we make sure they reach our file properly) The lady at the infopass told us that this cant be done, however, I have noticed people at on these forums who have taken preemptive measures and sent the missing documents before the RFE, any suggestions how to do that. Lastly, don't lose hope. You guys will be together soon and then none of these difficulties will matter. i made a potentially major typo on our I-129F form, but we were able to avoid delays (at least from my typo, i think). i typed my SSN on the form with one wrong number by mistake. we passed the 5 month mark in august, so i started to review our paperwork before contacting my congressman - that's when i found it. so after some FRANTIC phone calls to my fiancee, congressman, and uscis, i wrote a letter to explain the typo. later, we did get an RFE, but for unrelated issues. here's a copy of the letter that i sent. August 13, 2009 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 24000 Avila Rd. 2nd Floor, Room 2312 Laguna Niguel, CA 92677 Re: Petition WAC-XX-XXX-XXXXX Dear Sir or Madam: On March 6, 2009, I submitted an I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancée, which was received by the USCIS California Service Center on March 9, 2009 and assigned case number WAC-XX-XXX-XXXXX. As of today, August 10, 2009, my fiancée, Nirit, and I have not received an approval for this petition. As we are approaching the end of the normal processing time, I have been reviewing our records and have discovered that there is a typo on our petition. My copy of the submitted petition shows my social security number as XXX-XX-OXXX, which is wrong. My correct social security number is XXX-XX-XXXX. I have included a copy of my social security card in order to verify this. We hope that the discovery of this error will prevent any delay in our application process. In addition, I have thoroughly checked the rest of our I-129F petition, as well as our other submitted forms for errors. Please direct any questions or requests for evidence to: Justin street address city, state zip Sincerely, signature Justin Date in addition to the letter, i sent a copy of our NOA1 receipt and a copy of my SSN card. however, i overnighted my letter to the Avila Rd. address shown on my letter via UPS, which i would NOT recommend. we got a letter from uscis about a week later that included MY initial letter, which makes me think that they didn't even get my letter to the right people. i would recommend sending it to the PO box address found in the I-129F instruction. i also sent a copy of my letter to my congressman, who forwarded it to their uscis contact. we didn't hear anything for 3 weeks until we got the emailed RFE notice, but again, for unrelated issues. we never used a lawyer, and it sounds like they are more trouble than they are worth. they clearly don't show the same sense of urgency and concern that you guys do. sorry, i just don't have a good impression of lawyers involved with these cases. anyway, i hope this helps. you guys both deserve a break.	jcg303	Male	Israel	2009-10-03 19:08:00

I hope to hear some good news soon! hopefully they've only slowed down on new cases and yours will be finished quickly as it has already been started. i just got off the phone with the NVC, and they told me our case has already been forwarded to the embassy. 3 day turnaround - not too shabby!! i was pleasantly surprised, especially after dealing with the USCIS. we have quite a bit done in preparation of packet 3, but now we need to review the things we're missing. i hope you other marchies are getting some good news. by this time, we deserve it!!!	jcg303	Male	Israel	2009-10-02 08:00:00

Definitely a guy thing! IMO My fiance waited until a couple of days before he was supposed to fly out to the visa interview before he asked for the time off work. We almost had to reschedule because his work was refusing his request. I know not every guy is like that, but in my case, I am definitely seeing the guy/girl difference in the area of procrastination. BTW I think it is awful that USCIS cannot get their act together and fix their error right away. Is is at all possible that they really sent your case on to NVC and just haven't updated their computers? NVC had our case for a couple of days before they acknowledged they had received it. Wishing the best for you guys! menina - i know exactly how your SO feels. i burned through my vacation time by march of this year. so when i wanted to plan a trip to visit my fiancee in june, i was hard to work up the courage to ask my bosses - even though going 3 months without seeing her is practically a family emergency. i also really wanted to tell the people at uscis exactly how i feel about their performance. i think all of us pending march filers do - especially you kimbear. what a mess that is - i'm so sorry. but i didn't think blasting the person on the phone would help, so i tried to keep cool. (key word - "tried") actually, i was more annoyed with my senator's office, who completely blew me off, IMO. they have a duty to help their constituents, and supposedly they have the ability to make things happen at uscis. luckily, my congressman was MUCH more attentive. they at least seemed like they were helping, although i'm not sure how much influence they had on our case. why oh why uscis doesn't have a "first in - first out" policy is beyond me. but then again, government and logic is like oil and water. in any case, i'm soooo glad to be done with uscis. kimbear - i hope you get some positive news soon!!!	jcg303	Male	Israel	2009-09-25 08:57:00

I just got off the phone with the congressional aide who was told that our file has been in background check since June and that it would take up to 90 days. Personally, I think the "background check" line is kind of like their "5 months" line....it's their standard response, with the key difference being that a congressional contact usually generates some actual movement on the case in addition to the line of BS. On a side note, she suggested while stopping just short of recommending that, as long as she's here, we could get married and file for AOS and that, as long as she didn't over-stay her visa in the process, the only repercussion would be possible difficulty in getting travel visas for her family to visit here. (She specifically said it's not a deportable offense.) That's not my understanding based on the information I've seen here, and after all of this waiting, I'm not really inclined to test her assertion. I'll be watching my inbox even more intently over the course of the next couple of days to see if we get that magical touch. Will definitely keep you all updated so those still waiting know how big a grain of salt to take with the mis-information spouted by USCIS. Today has been a low point in terms of faith and patience, especially on Ingrith's end, so please keep us in your thoughts, prayers, whatever. i called my congressman this morning, and they seem to be helpful, although i had to call about 6 times before someone picked up. how soon they respond has yet to be seen. then, i thought i would chance it and call uscis. i always seem to get a different answer from them. first, i was told that the current processing time is 5 months, and we're at 5 months to the day. then i was told there has been no action for 60 days. can't they see there's been no action since the NOA1??? THEN i was told they are currently processing petitions dated Feb. 15 - but their processing time is 5 months.....government math i guess. i talked to my fiancee during lunch. we're with ya, Mariposa - it's definately one of those days. hopefully my congressman can grease the proverbial wheels. good luck and hang in there!!! you're one day closer......	jcg303	Male	Israel	2009-08-10 15:48:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March 2009 K1 Filer	QUOTE (Mariposa1010 @ Jul 31 2009, 09:12 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the encouragement. I've started to reach out to a friend who's politically active, to see if I can get a direct point of contact in my Senator's office. After calling the mis-information line, I will most certainly not be bothering with the "official" method of requesting an inquiry once my file reaches the 5-month point (and then waiting up to 60 days for a response to that). It's clear they have no interest in providing more information without the most firm push possible, and that would be from a Senator's office. I actually heard the person in the background prompting my "jerk in training" (resisting the urge to use a more severe term) to tell me that his supervisor was "not available at the moment"...and then this "jerkling" had the gall to suggest that I try calling back to see if another "Customer Service Agent" could give me more information, knowing full well that the next person would simply read to me from the same script. It's like they take joy in wasting our time. This is where our taxpayer dollars go....to have people on a power trip wield that power over us??? Yes, they work for us, but that seems to make no difference. (Deep breath) As I said, the only thing that makes this bearable at the moment is having Ingrith with me to keep my eyes on the prize. While she is losing faith daily, having dealt with immigration every time she crosses the border, just seeing her after work restored my optimism that this could still come through in time for an October wedding. My file will reach the 5-month point next Thursday, so I will do my best to have someone at my Senator's office make contact on or shortly after that date. Sincere congratulations to all who have moved on from the USCIS phase of this stage of the journey. Please continue to pray, send positive vibes, light a candle, or whatever you can do to help the rest of us. we're coming up on the 5 month mark also. i called uscis last week, and the agent was nice enough to inform me of the change in expected processing time, and she even told me i should appeal to my congressman or senator after 5 months. i know it's hard to take at times - especially when others get their NOA2 after only a couple months. i've been able to visit my fiancee twice, so that helps, but phone calls and skype just don't cut it. sorry about your troubles - hopefully you'll get some good news soon!!!	jcg303	Male	Israel	2009-08-01 20:25:00
