K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChecking the Status of your I-129F Petition

Ok done. Registered. Lets hope the status gets updated soon. It was received on May 24th.



good luck to you. btw, since youre registered already might as well sign up for email notifications. im not quite sure how efficient it is but it automatically shoots an email whenever your status is touched by the uscis. hopefully the next time you get touched it will be good news.

im still waiting to get touched... poke poke ;)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGoing Out Of
i totally know how you feel. monday will be day 88 for me. i understand that you have been waiting longer and not knowing whats going to happen next or how to expedite the process really really sucks. i woke up this morning feeling really sad. it's been two weeks since i was with my fiance but everyday without him seems to be a struggle but life has to go on right? i just finished cleaning my place. started the day off with walking my two dogs, then i proceed to cleaning the living room and then the kitchen. cleaning the kitchen is the hardest part. i get all oc about it and start cleaning the top of the range...scrub scrub scrub... then more scrubs... im tired. at least somehow it was quite theraputic...

try to keep yourself busy. going to the beach right now seems like a good idea. i dont know how the weather is there but im sure you can find something to do. sometimes i write letters just a journal, take out all the stress and woes that i have, that helps alot. i end up crying each time but sometimes you have to release that frustration. reading vj wont hurt as well. you pick up something new everyday plus you have the support from the peeps here. it really helps. they are nice and very very very helpful and insightful. :)

ive also drafted a letter to my congressman. i havent sent it yet. perhaps because i figured i should wait it out a bit ... maybe send it out on my 120th day if nothing happens still.

i hope you feel better... hugs

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresis this poosible?
you might put your whole petition in jeopardy by forging. whats a few dollars to spend for your own peace of mind? with all that is going on with USCIS. i agree with tracyTN. forging is a criminal offense.

how about just have your fiance print the forms out and have them send it over. itll cost you a bit. rather than sending your fiance the form and have them fill it out and send it over again.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures1st FACT of IMBRA (Finally)
hello guys. Mike1972e posted this on the other message board. I just thought youd like to read on. Seems like we are all getting closer.


I am not sure if this was posted in this thread or not, and I am sorry if they already did, because I am not going to brows thru 60 pages. This actually gives me hope. It seems that they are requesting the approval of the new form by June 9, 2006. It also sounds like it might be done by e-file. Tell me what you think???


http://www.uscis.gov...i-129f_83-i.pdf

Here is where I saw something about E-file. It is on page 2 #3.

http://www.uscis.gov.../i-129fsupp.pdf

A fellow HCMC journey member provided me with these links, so all the thanks goes to him, his name is Tony. I just printed them out this morning and read them and when I saw the June 9th, and e-file, I got such great hope.


hope this helps to those who havent come across this post yet. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresvisiting fiance' any advice
I dont think you have to explain yourself thoroughly with the customs. You can just say you are visiting your fiance. I dont think the immigration people will interrogate you at that point. it will all be okay :)
YnaYeBa0808FemalePhilippines2006-06-07 12:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAlready received NOA2, what happens next?
hello, first of all, please fill in your timeline.
I believe that the running time for K1 interviews are about 4-5 months to get an inteview date. and within that period, you get your packet 3 which you will take with you to the interview.
it takes the manila embassy quite some time before they send out your packet 3. I would give a rough estimate of about 2 months. You can try giving thim a call and ask them if they have recieved your petition. Ask them if you they have sent you the Packet 3, when it was sent and if you already have an interview date. They're pretty good about giving that info IF it is at hand. I would wait it out a little bit before i call but i guess knowing earlier wouldnt hurt. Usually the petition goes to NVC first and then it gets forwarded to the US embassy in manila.

hope i answered your question. Take care! :)

PS> get ready for a huge phone bill. i think the call is charged like 55 pesos a minute. i may be wrong but a fellow vj member called and thinks they have like 1000 spent on a single call to the US embassy. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFinally!!!!! Petition approved!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys!!!
I'm so freaking excited right now! There is light at the end of the long, dark CSC tunnel! I just got 8, yes, 8 emails saying that our petition for our fiance visa was approved yesterday! Honestly, it's about time! I had recently emailed CSC and they told me not to contact them for another 45 days and I also contacted a senator but hadn't heard anything back. Needless to say, I wasn't really expecting this now but hey, it's really great! I know there are a lot of people still waiting out there - it took 125 days for this approval to come. Hopefully CSC will keep on moving. Best of luck to all and thanks for letting me vent along the way!!!!!!! Have a great day!
Kara



Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! :)

sigh at least this somehow is good news. we know something is being done and i hope we all get our RFE's ... so weird... we all hope and pray that we dont get RFE's when we initially submitted our petitions and now that's almost what we are all waiting for... ironic...

billsgirl good to have you here to let us know what is going on. i appreciate it and im sure all of us do appreciate any information that can shed some light to this whole ordeal.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould Fiance Come Visit
hi! i know where you are coming from. i just recently came back from visiting my fiance in the philippines. ive seen him last january then flew back again may. I am sure everyone else can attest to this but to be with your loved one gives you peace of mind as well as strength to carry on... i totally think your fiance should visit you. even if that means that you may get your interview later than when he is there, he doesnt have to be in your interview anyways (if he can go all the more better). you need the support right now... all these things going on is drving all of us anxious if not most. who knows maybe he will be there when you get your NOA2 then you guys can celebrate together (yes im still a bit bit optimistic). but i think you should spend time with him... i hope you feel better....

Huggs

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp!!!

Hi guys....

Can you guys please help me?? I honestly do not have time to read most posts on the website bcuz of my job......

I am about to send my I-129f out for my fiance in Colombia but now with all the IMBRA hoopla don't know if I should wait for a new form (whenever that may come) or just send out the whole packet that I have ready!!!

I ran across this "Draft" in the USCIS website and am wondering if this is an example of the NEW form to be coming out!!

http://www.uscis.gov...-129f-draft.pdf

I read the latest news from USCIS regarding the IMBRA but it did not specify about those wanting to send out aplications........

If I send it will I get the whole packet back?? Or just an RFE for the new requirements??

thanx a bunch guys


hello! as of now with all that is happening USCIS just announced that rfe's will be sent out to those paperwork whose NOA1 date is past march 6. if you file now. most likely they will accept your application, put it in their pile and eventuwally send out an RFE for your application as well. indeed they are in the process of finishing up the new 129F form which would comply with the IMBRA guidelines. we all dont nkow when the exact date of the new form will be finalized but if you check the old form, it has an expiry date of 6-30-2006 so i would assume within that time frame or by then, the new form will be released. i suggest that you might as well send out your application and have it filed and get the RFE. but if you can wait about a month or two then you can choose to go the other route.

this is just my personal opinion, as of this point, the release date of the new fiancee visa form is still in limbo but i hope this helps :)

Sorry, I don´t mean to start a new thread and get everyone even more confuxed.

After USCIS released a statement today I noticed they had removed it just a few hours after.
Now it´s back and it´s different.

They say the RFE template has been approved and they will beging to send the RFEs immediately!!!!

I´m so happy I´m gonna run naked outside!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOST March 6th K1 "limbo". What Next?
kitkat i agree. i think if only you were convicted of something or anything that has to do with criminal records of some sort then you will have to provide them with paperwork otherwise it is just what you suspect it to be...

lets just hope that this time no more paperwork to be gathered...
YnaYeBa0808FemalePhilippines2006-06-14 20:54:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat does that mean?
i agree with kitkat. :) they like posting dates like that so you wont expect much... and it makes them seem more efficient if you got your NOA2 sooner than they project it to come out...
YnaYeBa0808FemalePhilippines2006-06-14 21:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat does that mean?
it would help if you are able to provide us your timeline so we know what is going on with your paperwork. i suspect that since you are from nebraska and a couple of peeps here have been transferred from neb to CA center, then your profile has been touched... most likely an update.

i cant say how long we all need to wait, i have submitted my petition in march and have not even been touched, however there are people here who have waited much longer. hopefully we will all hear good news soon. :)

im waiting as well... sometimes it feels like there's a big road block just to get to talk to an actual person from csc who can help clear things up for you or at least tell us what to do or what they are doing. the vermont peeps seem to be having better luck in actually getting a person on the phone. i dont know of any shortcut... wish i did...
