i agree, as long as your both free to marry, that is the rule. anything other than that would just be speculation by the consular. i personally know a guy that has been divored twice, and had no trouble for his third wife from ph.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsvisa in hand!!!!!

temp stamp at JFK is not valid much anymore

Time to get EAD and AP is about 60 days AFTER you file for status adjustment

SSN is filed for at the SSA office


so the best way to get the EAD and AP now is to file for it along with the AOS papers? it sounds like it's also a cheaper route.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsvisa in hand!!!!!
finally!! my fiancee got her k-1 visa today!! it should've just stayed home from work today - all i've been doing all day is checking on flights, the AOS procedure, EAD and AP documents, etc. it didn't take very long for my sense of relief to be overtaken by the realization of all the things that we now must plan and do - and i thought we were free and clear. HA!!

couple of questions - is JFK the only POE that issues EADs? if she doesn't go through JFK, how long does it take to get an EAD? how long does it take to get AP travel documents? when and where do we need to fill for a SS #?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNew Member Question
Hello, everyone!!! I just recently mailed my initial I-129F petition to the USCIS center in Laguna Niguel, California. I mailed it express mail and received confirmation that it was shipped and received. My first question is how long before I get a final approval from them (on average)? My fiance is in New Zealand. I'm just extremely anxious. . . as I'm sure everyone is at the beginning of these complicated stages! Thanks to all who read/reply!

DOS confirmed that London finally reviewed our documents...but no interview yet. And unfortunately, it looks like a May interview date is not going to happen, which means my fiance won't get to see my graduation sad.gif The lady at DOS said London has already scheduled the May interviews. sad.gif

Hows everyone else doing?



yeah, i can understand,n but at the same time you are sure that the interview will be scheduled for june. and depends on your date of graduation, why not him making a quick trip to usa to see your graduation?
i went to usa, in april after the noa 2 and at the port of entry i had no questions, no difficulties. I don't know if ihave been lucky or not, or if it's bc of their ESTA thing. but anyway i brought all my papers just in case.

and the good thing is that you will be able anyway to get married "on time".


i would not risk POE while waiting for an interview. Not to mention the cost. Also,by the time of my graduation he will have no ties the UK. So if he gets questioned he'd be turned back, and there is NO way i'm risking creating complications at the interview.

We are hoping that if we get a June interview we can call at reschedule it for May, if there are cancellations or something.

I'm so ecstatic. Okay, but now what? I haven't gotten the letter visa post yet (was sent yesterday). So, what are the next steps? Do I need to send anything back prior to it getting sent to NVC? or do I send something to NVC before it is sent to the US Embassy in Sydney? Or do I just send everything all to my fiance? Sorry-- I'm just trying to figure out what I need to do so I can make sure that we can keep moving quickly with this.

BTW-- what do you guys think for an Aug 14th wedding if I just got NOA2? Is that too close? I noticed that everyone elses steps are moving along very quickly.

I'm so nervous and excited!

Seems like CSC has been focusing on the older cases recently. See a lot of long term dates going by, and not many (any?) from March.



I'm not sure if you can make August 14, but if you DO, you will be getting married one day before we do!

We just sent Packet 3 back though..so we are atleast a couple weeks ahead of you. Good luck smile.gif

You could maybe do that, or, the USC could call DOS here in the States and I think find out that way as well..

Try finding timelines from France and see how long it took to recieve Packet 3?

No, it seems like Nik has decided he wants to send the forms and the checklist in together. I've really said all I intend to say (to him) on the subject. I mentioned that they can be sent in separately but.......I'm not sure he's finished filling in the forms anyway.

I'm trying not to be a visazilla (close cousin of Bridezilla, for those who don't know) about it. biggrin.gif

I guess I'm also not convinced that sending in the forms ahead makes things go faster at London, and we definitely can't send in the checklist until we are sure there are no errors on the police cert (which still has not arrived!!! Grrrrr).

Oh well, in October, a couple weeks extra to get the visa won't seem like long....


Ahh ok. Sven already has his police certificate, and everything else except the financial stuff which I should be sending him tomorrow, so he will be sending packet 3 back immediately.


Got packet 3 today smile.gif hopefully will be sending it off tomorrow. I can't believe we are so close to being done!

Out packet 3 took 7 days for the embassy to send off, so your guy can start looking for it in the mail soon! The embassy info page has the link that they send in the single sheet of paper of packet 3 for London, so you can be all prepared to send it right on back to them. (I'm sure you knew that already though - more saying for posterity if anyone finds this thread. biggrin.gif)


yep I already gave him all the info and he says he has the forms all filled out! Have you sent back Packet 3 yet?

Question for those who are further along in the process..... how long has it taken to get your stuff sent to he NVC, and then to the US Embassy of the fiance's country? Did the fiance already do the medical exam in advance? Has anyone scheduled the interview yet?

I was really hoping for an August wedding (that's when the soon-to-be-in-laws will already be visiting).... although I think we're running out of time to count on my Fiance being present at the wedding (no groom = no wedding)--- there's just too much uncertainty about the rest of the processes. Any suggestions?


It took 10 days (I think) for my stuff to get to NVC. It got there on a Friday and left on a Monday. It got to the embassy in 3 days...but that totally depends on how far away the embassy is...According to the dhl.com tracking stuff, it looks like it takes 3 days to get to Sydney as well. Thats as far as I have gotten in the process. My fiance is still waiting for Packet 3. However, once your case gets to NVC and you get the new case number, you can schedule the medical exam. I would do this asap when you can to make it go even a tiny bit faster.

I think at this point, an August wedding is still in reach. Try looking at timelines for your embassy to see how long it takes from NVC to interview to get a better idea.

For those people who just received NOA2 in the mail late last week.... was your status updated on the USCIS website in advance, or did you receive an email?

BTW-- congratulations!!



Congrats!

About the email/update.....I think when I got my NOA2, some other people on that same day got uodates and emails, but some did not and the NOA2 just came later in the mail.

For me, the case status was updated, and it took awhile to get the email. Then the hardcopy NOA2 came a week later in the mail

I'm sorry you are still waiting sad.gif I have seen some more January NOA2s lately, so hopefully yours is coming!

I think they just say they will send it out in a week in case they are going to group the packets. In my letter it said the same thing, but they sent it out the next day and following day it was in Vancouver. Well not too much more time and London will have your packet.


London recieved my petition, etc. Hopefully Packet 3 won't take too long..but I don't think Heather+Nik has recieved theirs, and they will get theirs before my fiance.

Talked to my Canuck tonight and she just received her Packet 3 letter from the Vancouver Consulate. It now references a downloadable checklist at the Vancouver Consulate Website. Minnew posted something about this in the Embassy & Consulates Forum. This new checklist doesn't have the I-134 listed, which is very odd indeed. I will be sending an e-mail to the consulate to inquire about that. I suspect that perhaps they are also mailing a letter to the USC to request the I-134, but I'm not sure. It could also be because the checklist is both a K3 and K1 checklist, so instead of adding confusion about I-134 vs. I-864 they omit it. It may also simply be a typo...

Nevertheless, I just thought I'd mention here that the Packet 3 letter does come to the beneficiary no matter how closely you track the progress of your petition... You need not drive yourself nuts learning the ins and outs of the DHL website and shipping process at NVC to get from NOA2 to Packet 3... It has been entertaining watching those of you who've chosen that route though! tongue.gif wink.gif

Good luck to all!



The reason that the I-134 is not listed on Packet 3 is because it isn't part of packet 3....you take it to the interview in person smile.gif

I got it just the day after it shipped out, so I don't think it's the letter saying that they have forwarded it to the embassy yet. I'm hoping to have paper confirmation that it actually passed and wasn't held up soon....

He was told 10-15 business days, but I heard some people say as little as 6 days after ordering. He also called his bank (USAA) about the bank letter, first he told me that it would take 3 months to get, because he has had to have one in the past for work, but more detailed. (My heart dropped) So he called today and was told 6-8 weeks!! wacko.gif Maybe thats just to cover their butts! LOL I hope not! Do you think we could get by in the interview with out the bank letter? Vancouver usually schedules 4-6 weeks in advance depending on if you have a preferred day of the week, maybe i could hold off sending in Pkt 3? I just really want this interview done and over with already!!! We will have tax information, letter of intent, letter from his employer, and recent pay stubs.

regarding the tax transcripts, what form does that supplement? I'm still having a hard time pulling together all of the information that is required for the interview in advance.


The tax transcripts are for the I-134, the affidavit of support.

New question for everyone: So, like I said NVC told me that my petition left NVC yesterday. There is nothing on dhl.com with a reference of 06 APR 2009A. However, I was just being...weird I guess, and looked at 03 APR 2009A again, and there were a TON of packages with a ship date of April 6 (but the reference was the 3rd), one of which was 6.8 pounds to London. Also, another person who said that NVC told them their package also left the 6th, to Seoul, and there was Seoul on the list of 03 APR 2009A references with a ship date of April 6. So so I asusme this is my package??


I just double checked and there is a 06 APR in DHLs system now, with a shipment to London. I would be betting that is your package, not the 03 APR one (which would be Friday's shipment, even if it didn't go all the way out until Monday). For my case, they told me my shipment went out April 2nd, even though the 02 APR shows it actually went out on the 3rd. Anyway, I think your shipment will be the 06 APR that went out on the 7th (today!) and your actual tracking number for the package going to London is 9147706562.

My package got to Tokyo, so packet 3 is probably on the way! Shouldn't be long for you either, because your shipment will be in London in no time kicking.gif

Out of curiousity, have you gotten a letter from the NVC at all? I haven't received anything from them, just did all my correspondence on the phone.


Ah thanks! i was just about to check again! Congrats on your package being in tokyo!
No, I haven't gotten anything from NVC yet. I think they send the letter once they send the package? So I am not expecting anything until maybe Thursday. I'm guessing I may get the letter before you, since I am much closer to NH. So I will let you know when I get it!

Heather - another question about DHL....how long does it take for them to put up the shipments online? Like yours was 3/30 (or 3/31 according to DHL..) so did you find it online on the 31st, or on april 1st?


I assume that the updating might be "in live", for i can see that ours has been in fact delivered today at 2.23pm..and it's now for me, 22.37
so ten hours after it's visible.

they must have the techno so that the informations is updated in-live, damn, i know that's not the right word, but i can't find it right now.

I wish that it could as fast for everyone. really, now I am going to be "blocked" by another thing that i have to go through, to which i was sure it would be solved before the visa arrives. blush.gif


the reason i asked that question was because they said that my package left today, but there is nothing on dhl.com yet. so i'm guessing i may have to wait until tomorrow to see where it is! although, i have looked at enough of the old london tracking things to see about how long it should take.

as far as "in-live"...i think the word is realtime?! im not sure...i spent time in japan, and all of my friends are pretty much non-native speakers...so my english has become very lazy and i cannot think of words quickly sometimes^^ dont worry though, i understood you fine!

Heather - another question about DHL....how long does it take for them to put up the shipments online? Like yours was 3/30 (or 3/31 according to DHL..) so did you find it online on the 31st, or on april 1st?

I think they day they receive it is usually the day they put it into the computer (NVC is very efficient!) which means I think if you HAD called back at the end of the day it probably would have been in there, but yeah, I understand not freaking out! It doesn't make it go any faster! All I know is, when I called, the lady just said something like "Okay, your packet was received on 4/1 and sent out on 4/2". Being the typical worried K1 filer, I said "Sent to Tokyo, right?" Haha. And she said "Yes, sent to Tokyo."


Yea...i wanted to call back but I don't wanna go more crazy, so I am gonna wait til a little before they close on Monday and hopefully I'll have some good news. It looks like according to the dhl tracking thing, they only sent two packages out yesterday, and neither were to england. so im hoping for monday..

Honestly I wouldn't worry about it at all kicking.gif

It probably means your number has been scanned, so they can check and see that it is sitting in their facility, but that an office worker hasn't gotten to it yet today to input your specific information into the computer and generate your London number and shipping information! I would bet on that happening today star_smile.gif

And as far as mine getting their before yours, it could be a regional thing; the number of cases going to Asia or Japan specifically might have been less in number or handled by somebody else, and shipped quicker due to that. Again, don't worry!


oh don't worry about yours getting there first smile.gif as long as i know mine didn't get lost in the mail, it doesn't matter to me....now...if you were going to london as well....maybe i'd care! just kidding smile.gif you are probably right..theres not many at all, atleast on vj, going to japan.

will my "arrived at nvc" date be the date they put it in the system, or the day they really recieve it? i know it doesn't matter, but I am just wondering! Oh I am sooo tempted to call back right before they close, but I won't...it doesn't matter anyway as I want the case number so my fiance can book the medical, and I am sure he can't do that on the weekend anyway.

They have a physical file, which probably is received, but now sitting on some data entry person's desk, waiting for them to input the case and output your LND# and then move it to the London Box.

Must mean that yours is at the "sitting on someone's desk" stage, and hasn't gotten to the other ones.

It took them 2 weeks from my NOA2 date to get it into the system...no worries. smile.gif


i'm gonna call at the end of the day on Monday. i hope you are right about the sitting on a desk thing. I am just so scared about AP, or anything going wrong! We really wanna POE in the beginning of June.....

Laura, just to let you know, I called the NVC again today and they said my case was arrive on the 1st (Wednesday, the original day I called and they hadn't put it in the computer yet star_smile.gif ) and was sent out on the 2nd. Since our NOA2s are really close I'd say there is a decent chance your case is in the NVC system now, so you could give them a call if you haven't yet!


arigatouuu!!! thank you so much! i'm gonna call now...wish me luck!



okkk I am REALLY confused! The guy today said "that case is still being put into the system, so call next week and it should be in" so, I asked "ok, so its there, but just not in the system??" and he said yes. WHAT? what does that even mean? How does he know its there? I hope this doesn't mean AP! He didn't even ask for my birthday or name or anything like that...do you think he was just lying?!

Mine's still not at NVC...I'm not going to call again til either Friday or Monday, I'm not sure..

When I called today, they told me it takes 90 days....yea, i hope not!


My NOA2 date is one day after yours and as of yesterday (4/1) my packet still hadn't arrived either, so I wouldn't worry about it kicking.gif

I think I will either call them again tomorrow or next monday to check up again. The lady I talked to at the NVC said it can take 2-4 weeks, I didn't hear the 90 day spiel good.gif


i'm guessing mine will get there monday..or that even if it get there before that, they won't put it in til monday cuz thats the two week mark!
