Middle East and North AfricaDocuments for interview...
Consulates have leeway when it comes to requirements for the interview, many consulates have different requirements that differ from other consulates.
When it comes to the I-134 this is the case more often than not, it is a non-binding agreement so many consulates actually use the I-864 requirements and apply them for use with the I-134, which requires proof of income...It only stands to reason they want to assure that you will be able to supply all the needed documentation at AOS time when you fill out the I-864. They are aware of fraudulent activity when it comes to immigration and know full well anyone can write anything on an I-134.
I would suggest you get the tax returns or tax transcripts just in case and save yourself some possible heartache later.

Here is a pinned I-134 thread showing what is suggested to take to interview with the I-134 http://www.visajourn...p?showtopic=305

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecember 2009 Filers - CSC!
Thanks for the good wishes and congratulations to anyone else who was approved in the last few days!

Good luck to everyone who's still waiting. I hope that your approvals come through soon.

I have even more incentive to hope that the process speeds up. My company just got bought by Harper Collins Publishing in the UK so now we don't know what will be happening to our jobs in the next few months. Good time to be leaving methinks.

Oh my goodnes! Our case just moved from one person's desk to another :) I'm assuming that's what the 'touch' means, lol! :jest:


I guess I was being a little mean there. Just got word that we've been approved (literally the email came in 5 minutes ago)! :dance: It wasn't just a desk move! I'm so happy and excited and now I need to do more than just stare at the forms. And Yuri will be here at Easter. :dance: We didn't have a single touch on our case these whole 3 months so I thought it was just buried.

Good luck to all the rest of the December filers. I look forward to seeing your updates on the rest of the process. (L)

Igor list for December filers: 111-145


That's because March 09 has dropped off the list. They only show 12 months of filing.

Those are GREAT statistics!

GO CSC!


Congrats to all the filers who've been approved. Does anybody who filed early in the month feel like the newer ones got dumped on top of ours and we're now at the bottom of a pile? :huh:

It really does seem random how they approve certain files.
Really makes me curious if they pick and choose or just grab from a pile.
If I could I would like to sneak in and find out! LOL!
Well for now it's like waiting to see who will be the next winners in the "lottory of love"!

2 january approvals...what's the deal with that??? What about the 50 of us in December :(

Yeah, I don't understand that. It seems really unfair! :angry: But I feel even more sorry for people in the October / November group who've been waiting even longer than us. I took a look and it seems as if most of the people left in those two gropus are from 'tricky' countries so maybe it takes longer for their info to be dealt with? Anyway, here's hoping the process is speeding up if they're doing January petitions. And with that in mind I really need to investigate getting my Police Cert (it doesn't exist in NZ and my 2, yes 2, UK ones don't count as I got them in 2008 (I work as a gymnastics coach, it's required)).

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecember 2009 Filers - CSC!

This last week seemed particularly slow..only 4-5 approvals from the igor list. I hope they can more than make of it, starting monday!

I noticed that too but I gave them the benefit of the doubt that they dealt with lots of non-VJers that week so it only looks like progress has slowed down. Or, the VJers just didn't update their statuses. I'm willing to try and be nice to them until they stop being nice to me :-)

For every goal they should approve 10 in the stacks on their desks :thumbs: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Good idea! Maybe that needs to be suggested on their FB page :innocent:

The CSC has a Facebook page. They had some kind of soccer tournement last week...wonder if it was on company time? :whistle:


You found them on FB? Maybe we can start harassing them to get their work done instead of playing football on our time :-)

Seeing a few more December approvals but I think they took a few days off at the beginning of this week - bad CSC! They need to get a move on. London wait times are apparently about 12 weeks!

Hi Adelaide & Welcome to the December filers :thumbs:

I have had my police check done & it arrived last week to show I am a very boring person LMAO


You are so not boring, Terri! I'm visiting my folks in HK and I've just picked up the wedding shoes I had made and I'm off to the tailor's for my second dress fitting tomorrow, lol! What better way to spend my holiday with my parents :-) and we still haven't set a date so I'm rushing ahead of myself.

Exiciting about the 20 Nov approval - it will be interesting to see who on thread get's their NO2 first! Good luck all ^_^

Also December filers - I think they received ours on the 9th? Anyway, still trying to get USC to sign up for email update as he didn't read it when I IM'd him about it last week. Getting so very antsy about the whole thing. I just want to find out one way or the other. I hate waiting. I'm also stressing about proof of relationship and the interview. We'll have been togther only 1 year in April so I hope that US Consulate doesn't think there's anything fishy in it - all we want is to be together and have a family.

Good luck to everyone. I'm off to find Igor's list now.

Middle East and North Africahome sick before even leaving?
I totally agree. I had a breakdown like that when I went to visit my parents where they live just before we got approved for the visa. I think that even though we'd all moved away from NZ and been apart for 3 years at that point it was always in my mind that we'd all end up back there together eventually. I'm also an only child so I have the worry of what will happen when they get older and need help from me. However, we all talked about it and they wanted me to do what made me happy and not to worry about them. And now I'm here and married I am settling in, but I still want to go back to NZ to live with my husband so I'm working on him for that :-) I think that every couple works things out in a way that suits them. I'm sure that once you're here you will be happy and your mum will be happy for you. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

Are you sure that the US has a double tax agreement with Germany? If not the US may be able to tax Geman income. Does Turbo Tax ask is this income was earned through a domestic or international company? This may make a difference.

Did you leave before you were 16? Because I believe that you only need the police certs from places that you lived after the age of 16. I'm sorry that I can't help you with your questions though.

At my latest infopass when I asked about this the girl at the window said that they can only see what we can see when it comes to the USCIS website and that if it's not on there she can't do anything. Just thought I'd let you know so you can consider whether you want to waste your time with an infopass. Then again, she could have been acting like the phoneline and been lying.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureshow many Dec/Jan filers cannot see their case Online?
That apparently happened to an unfortunate (in many ways) member last year and she said that there were other VJ members who were experiencing that. They all had receipts dated the same day. I am also unable to track my I-90 online. I don't think it's that big a deal because if you're doing AOS and sent in your email form that's when you'll find out updates. Half the time they don't even update the website anyway even when they've done anything on your case.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNow Believe that marriage was for immigraion
Wow I'm embarrassed to hear that he is Belgian. But a lot of the things that you mentioned he did or said, make no sense.
Any Belgian citizen can move ANYWHERE in the EU without having to do paperwork (besides address change). Also it's really impossible to be homeless if you are a Belgian citizen, unless you want to be. There is so much financial help available. I also don't see why he would use someone to move to the US. Belgium has a much better healthcare and social system. If he can't survive in Belgium, he could possibly not survive in the US.
If you have other questions I can help. I'm really sorry you went through all of this.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F December Filers?
I filed December 16 and got notice the 21st they had received it and gave me a case number, but all I find online is that it's in initial review. I never received a hard copy of the receipt and when I called them they said they won't send another one out. I'm really hoping we hear something soon, because the stress is really getting to me. Ours was sent to the California service center and I followed the guide here to a T.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFinally after 48 days NVC #
Wow. You know it's crazy that it should take so long. I am waiting too and got panicked because NVC said they had no record after a whole month. Finally found out USCIS sent my packet like 3 weeks after it was approved and after a week and a half still no NVC case number and their research unit saying no record of it. It's maddening. My approval was May 11 and I had hoped my fiance' would be here by now for my family reunion or at least for 4th of July. :wacko: So now I'm hoping before August - our NOA2 said it was good through 9/12/12. And regular time to transfer the file is 2 weeks per the government's webpage. So it's wait wait wait and try not to lose my mind any worse than I already have. :goofy: Sigh... good luck to you all.
