Its fine that you fill them out, you really do not need to put you name and address in those places. That is made for someone like a lawyer or a visa service that someone may be using to acquire their visa smile.gif .

Dude, Sept??? There are still ppl waiting from March or April..... Hold your horses, it will come in time. I know it's hard to wait but if you haven't reached the est. processing time that uscis has given there is little to nothing you can do. It will come in time.

It's not lost, they will adjudicate you eventually, until about a month ago at VSC their were a lot of petitions that were taking 5 to 6 months normally. anything before that is great.

Best of luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2 to NVC hasn't happened yet - NOA2 Date Oct 1
It is good to know that I am not the only one who is worried to death about this process wacko.gif . I received a request for information which made me crazy (by the way) and I got that all taken care of. My information was received on the 30th of Oct. and still no response. It is now the 16th of Nov. and I feel like sreaming. I know it has hardly been two weeks but as someone mentioned earlier I see timelines where it took no time for my service center to take the next step. My finance keeps telling me not to worry that the hard part is over but when it has been eight whole months since you last held hands, watched a movie in the dark, and made each other laugh until one of you had tears rolling down your face, you get a little furstrated. This has been the hardest thing that I have ever had to do in my life. I do get joy in knowing that its almost over, but i still fill like screaming crying.gif !

Please open my website below. Hope it can help.

OP,
Rather than looking off-site (no offense to MikeeLucyForever - I'm sure you mean well) I would suggest you stick with the Guides on VJ - they contain the best practices of what works and has worked for countless VJ members. Most folks here on VJ (as you may already know) have done or are doing most of this process on their own (without an attorney). Whether you need one or not is not up to anyone here to answer except to say that the process is pretty straightforward and with careful study of the guides, tips and example forms, most folks are very successful doing so on their own.

The K-1 Visa Flowchart can still be of use to you - you are somewhere on Step 16 - the Guides and other areas can fill in the details you need.

PhilippinesMatching Passport and Plane Ticket name
QUOTE (loveusomuchhoney @ Aug 24 2009, 09:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My wife came here on a K-1 visa. We are married and awaiting processing of the AOS. She has her EAD card. She also has a State ID card. We plan a trip back to the Philippines in about a year from now.
Her passport is in her maiden name. We will have to purchase her plane ticket in her maiden name.

We plan on getting her passport amended at DFA while in the Phils to show her married name.
We are sending next week the Report of Marriage Contracted Abroad form and the Information Sheet on Filipinos Marrying Foreign Nationals to the Philippine Embassy in Wash DC. This will ensure the records at CFO and DFA reflect our marriage when we travel back to the Phils and get her passport changed.

We plan on purchasing round trip tickets. Now after her passport name change to her married last name her passport name will not match her plane ticket.

Purchasing one way tickets is much more expensive. We are trying to avoid that. When I purchased my round trip ticket to go bring my wife here, I purchased her a one way ticket (800 USD) and myself a round trip ticket (1200 USD). Using Northwest Airlines flying from Charleston South Carolina to Manila.

Has anyone been through this and what did you do to prevent purchasing one way tickets???


Have not done it but my advice would be to take all documentation of your marriage and AOS documents, if you change your ss card take it with you also. Anything that shows the name change, have you asked the airline what they suggest.

PhilippinesGot our NOA2 Whats Next??/
QUOTE (getosled @ Sep 13 2009, 10:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Ok im trying to get a list together of what my fiancee can do!!.. I recieved the NOA2 and ill be sending it to here in the mail.

What documents does she need for the Medical once we get the MN Case # ?

How should we organize our documents for the Interview? Like seperate the DS- Forms or combining certain forms?

I guess we are just a bit nervous and want the rest of the process to go smoothly.

What can we do while we wait?

1) 2 days after NOA2, starting calling NVC: 603-334-0700 press 1 then 5.
2) Once NVC has your case, they assign a new case #. Ask them what date they sent your file to the embassy & also for the NVC case #.
3) Once you know the date NVC sent off the file, track it at DHL's website: http://track.dhl-usa...?nav=TrackByRef For the reference code, enter EXP 10 JUL 2009A (adjust using dates just before the date NVC told you), with a shipping range of that day to a few days later (July 13 - July 14 worked for the example above). Look for shipments to your beneficiary's embassy.
4) To find out if the embassy processed the packet, call the Dept of State before 5pm: 202-663-1225 press 1 then 0

When NVC tells you they sent the package and you see it has been sent to the embassy wait a few days then:

Don't wait on the embassy to send you anything or you may get old. Go to this page and learn all you need to...Call them and see if they have your package yet and set an appointment.

I may be way off base but with the communication problems and the indistinguishable denial reason...are you sure the correct paperwork was filled out on her end and she didn't check the wrong box or fill out the wrong type of visa application?

I'm just reaching because it seems OFF to me.

I have read in the forums before that they notate or update the account each time it is touched. Where do I find that? I signed up for the account but cant seem my case status that just has 7 balls on it....The Initial review is lit up but where do you see each time it is scanned?


You have to watch the Last Updated area...when the date changes you know it has been "touched". But don't get too excited they hardly ever get it updated.
My K1 still shows it in initial review and only had 1 touch. My wife has been here for 4 months. Our AOS did get one touch but nothing after we did the biometrics and nothing when they transferred the case to CSC...so draw your own conclusions.
