K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary Filers

The lady from my congressman's office called to tell me that she spoke with CSC and the lady was nice and told her it can take about 2 weeks to enter my RFE information and update my account. The lady told her to call again next Friday.


Sarah,

It's great your application is moving forward, but I'm surprised how little new information a congressman's influence gets. Your information helps us, though. My last touch was May 11, two weeks will be next Friday, May 24th. Thank you for posting the update.

I should have flown "Ski" to Mexico last December, then just drove across the border. She could have full U.S. citizenship before the general elections November 2008! :lol: :lol:

:dance: I phoned the NVC last night (PH time), the nice lady on the phone asked for the receipt number.. I was abit expecting her to say that they do not have our receipt number on their record but she followed up with questions: What is the beneficiary's name and birthdate. I gave the details and she said "and the petitioners' number is blah blah blah. We received this petition May 15.."

Woooww!! I really ran out of words and just told her "Oh, really?!" (LOL) "Thank you".. Forgot to ask if we already have a case number.. :wacko: Anywho, I'm really happy that we havent gotten an RFE (after all this time that we are expecting we will)..

Goodluck to the rest of January filers... :) And I surely owe this thread and the VJ-Jan filers big time! Thanks guys!


Congratulations! :dance:

Sometimes I question the efficiency of the damn CSC! I called again today and guy #2 proceeded to tell me that there is no record of them having received my RFE and he said the first lady I spoke with on Monday was wrong! OMG! I wish these people would pull their heads out of their arses and get on the same page! :ranting: :protest: :girlwerewolf2xn:

Sorry, I am just plain tired of everything and if I didn't love Marlon so much I would give up! Dear God please help ALL of us!

I will call my congressmen again to see if they were told anything different yesterday...


I sympathize with your difficulties. We have been asked to show more than the expected amount of patience. :huh:

Thanks for all the congrats B) Len and How - sorry to hear about the frustration. I have to agree that the CSC has been pretty pathetic for our cases! Future Mrs, SkyMas, and everyone who's still waiting, I hope it won't be too agonizing. :wacko:


Congratulations mountaingirl!

And thank you and kengumbo, hmm1, lucho562 as well for the optimistic wishes.

It's about a month longer waiting for the NOA2 than expected.

As of my last check, there are 28 filers who received their NOA1 the last week of January. Twelve are still waiting for their NOA2. I hope we all hear good news tomorrow or Friday!

Just got off the phone with NVC. They received the case on May 14th and it should be sent out today. Yipee!!!


Congratulations, and thank you for the good luck wishes.

"Ski" and me were touched twice last week, but no news since. Earlier today I called customer service and the very pleasant service representative recited the online paragraph "On January 26, 2007 we received your I-129f...." Then I asked the very pleasant service rep for more information about when I can expect to hear something. I was informed they were now working on October 15 fiancee visa applications, so I had almost four more months to wait! :rolleyes:

Maybe I should contact my Congressman or Senators and have them wake up someone at CSC with a bonk on the head. :bonk:

...sigh George


George, chin up buddy, your NOA2 is right around the corner! :thumbs:


Thank you for the optimism. Let us know if you get a response to your inquiries.

Wow, that is great news! Congratulations!! :dance:

Well, Howard just got off the phone with USCIS. He spoke to a nice lady who though didn't tell him anything new, just that our petition was received on 1/30 and it's pending. She didn't see any updates on her screen either (those touches we had last week). But she said we could call and inquire anytime.

I just feel like crying :crying:


The USCIS telephone information and help staff are the nicest kindest people! They are eager to assist any way that they can! Which is nothing... :huh: And please call them anytime for more of the same... :help:

Same here, filed 2 days later and got touched 2 days later and now NOTHING! We were SO excited with that first touch and now its been forever... At least we know we arent the only ones... I think there is a group holiday going on at CSC...



Yeah... it appears if we all filed two weeks earlier, we would have beat the post January 15 slowdown. Yawn... :clock:

So I finally received news via snail mail from USCIS, it's an RFE. Not a big deal though, they are requesting Marlon's divorce decree that I had already submitted. I will pop it in the mail tomorrow. I called Marlon and of course he HAD to ask me if I submitted it with the petition and I was like yes I did! lol I had to explain to him that sometimes they ask for documents that they already have. I'm just glad I finally heard something! lol I was a tad bit disappointed but hey, that's all they asked for! I won't let it ruin my big day today!


After you have waited so long, the extra few days will go fast! From what I've seen here, approval follows a couple days after a satisfied RFE!

Oh, I received another touch today. Wassup, CSC?

THank you for the update. MANY of us agree we want to see more action.

... sigh

Man, no touches, I feel so lonely!
*Are you lonesome tonight?*
lol
I'm a DORK :wacko:


*Yes,* and me too!

Anyone see any action today? RFEs, NOA2s, or "touches?"

Sigh... George



seen a couple touches, but that's about it...i am ready for some action...c'mon csc and get your head out of your #######!!!

i wonder if laguna nigel is afftected by this fire business out in l.a.


Nope, laguna niguel is not affected by that fire, heck I live about 20 minutes away from the fire, and i'm not affected. No excuses for CSC!!! They are lazy bums :ranting:


It was "stevo" that was curious about the fire's effect. Interesting point, though. Thank you for the update.

They are VERY FAR APART guys - one is in Los Angeles County - and toward the northern side of it (well, north of downtown LA) and the CSC is in deep Orange County.

They aren't near each other and it isn't a big enough fire to derail all happenings all over SoCal.


Thank you for the information.

Oh yeah, Kengumbo, WELCOME BACK! :dance:

Hi Everybody!

I woke up to a new day and as always, I checked our case status first thing in the morning...

And we got TOUCHED!!!!

Yippee! I know it might take a few days or weeks before we get approved (hoping for no RFE), but it is such a great feeling to know something is going on with our petition. I can't help smiling and being happy :D

I hope this will be another great week full of approvals!! Good luck to all of you :thumbs:


Way to go CSC! Let's get the last of the January filers approved!

You won't get an email for a "touch" - just when they take action.

Crossing my fingers for you!


You're correct, there is no email for a "touch." But the date for "Last Updated (mm/dd/yyyy)" will change.

I guess our file is still at the same place they put it on Feb 2nd - the date of our last touch.

It would be cool if there was a live webcam to the facility, we could see what's going on, what files they are working on... Hm, now I can only dream of somebody finally picking up our file and starting working on it. <_<


I agree, not knowing what is going on is the difficult part. Off for a few hours...

I checked out Fwaguy's stats and 22 still need a NOA2 BUT my name is not on the list so make that 23...
...
Make that 24 as Len & How's name is not on the list either...
...

There is something going on with Fwaguy's statistics. He updated it yesterday and I couldn't see us (and you, FutureMrs) on the list either. I told him and he added us in, so now I can see Len & How, but still cannot see Sarah and Marlon. Maybe you can try and PM him??

I appreciate his hard work very much and am very grateful for any updates!! Fwaguy rocks!!!


I have 101 January filers from the timeline search page. 72 have their approvals. I don't have a website to post it to. It's in an excel file I can pass to anyone who wishes.

ok friends...i'm not that smart...here is a stupid question...k1 fiancee visa is an immigrant visa...student, work visas are non-immigrant...correct???



It's not a stupid question - the names are a bit misleading (like when most people go for their interviews, they get in the "immigrant" line instead of the "non-immigrant" line even though K1 is a "non immigrant" visa).

Student, work, tourist, and K1 visas are all non-immigrant visas. (btw: the K1's non-immigrant status explains the 90-day marriage deadline - because on most non-immi visas, like tourist visas, VWP, 90 days is the default time limit for being in the US).

K1 gets you in the country for the purpose of getting married. Once you file for AOS, THAT'S what keeps you/your loved one here and makes them not-out-of-status until the green card determination is made.


thanks all for the clarification!!! just saved me $280 bones...for more phone bills...


Not to add any more confusion but it is a non-immigrant visa but is processed by the immigrant visa unit at the consulate...



HEY! CONGRATULATIONS ON THE INTERVIEW!
