K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch 2009 k-1 people
Good morning everyone!! Do you want to see our "Packet 3"??? The official version?

Ok....I'm going to cut and paste it here. I LOVE those people in Brazzaville! They are supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Hi Melissa:

Thanks for your email and your call yesterday. Here are the next steps to complete Lars’ K-1 visa application:

1) Complete all Visa Application Forms

a. DS-156 Nonimmigrant Visa Application
i. Please complete this form online at https://evisaforms.state.gov/ and print it out
ii. Attach one recent 50x50 mm color id photo (the best place to get this done in Brazzaville is Suzanne Photo in front of the Mandarine Restaurant)

b. DS-156-K Nonimmigrant Fiance Visa Application
i. Form is attached to this email as PDF

c. DS-230 Application of Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration
i. Yes, you really need both a nonimmigrant and an immigrant visa application, the K visa spans both categories
ii. Form is attached to this email as PDF

2) Gather Police Certificates and all other required documentation

a. Police Certificates
i. From current place of residence(Congo-Brazzaville) and any place of residence for 6 months or more since age 16.

b. Other documentation as listed on DS-156 K

3) Complete Medical Exam

a. Instructions are attached as Word document

b. Instructions are in French, but here’s the gist
i. Select one of the two clinics in Brazzaville
ii. Schedule an Exam (Bring in ID and any proof of vaccination at time of exam)
iii. Please let me know if you need a translation of any specific point

There’s no reason you need to complete these steps in order. The quickest approach is probably to move forward on as many fronts as possible. Once everything is complete, please call us at 612-2012 or email to set up an appointment. Please don’t hesitate to contact me again if you have any further questions. I look forward to meeting Lars soon and to seeing you in Congo in a few months. Good luck getting everything together.

Best,

Chris

Personally, I slept though the time I can call Warsaw... there is another window that I think its 8 am eastern... I will call today and see what if anything I can do about getting a quick interview.


Any luck Richard? Its snowing in Warsaw.

The Embassy has our case and has sent packet 3 to Joanna... Joanna was filling out the ds-230 today, hopefully we will get it completed this week and sent back



We have our interview in Warsaw scheduled for 10/28/2009.
I am flying to Poland tomorrow...

How exciting!! I bet you are all over the place...excited, nervous, crazy busy.....it's great!

So, my good news of the day - I talked to the embassy, to an AMERICAN!!! It was a fantastic conversation. He told me that my calling did more than anything to ensure approval! He is emailing us Packet 3, we get it all together, send it in, go for the medical and then go on over for the interview and he's done and HOME ON NOVEMBER 15TH!! Can you believe it? I am so happy, so relieved, so EXCITED!!!!!


Wow, wow, wow! Do you know how close November 15th is!?! smile.gif

Yes I do, it's why I am in delayed FREAK OUT mode right now. I don't have anything to wear, the house is dirty, the yards a mess, I have grey hair that needs to be addressed........I AM SO EXCITED I CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT!!

So, some of you may remember that during my last trip to Orlando, I saw a snake through the condo window near the bushes. Since I have a phobia, I basically had a panic attack and realized that it's a huge problem that I need to deal with, especially moving to Orlando. So, while I was home in Canada during the last month, my work hooked me up with a therapist....

Last night, Brian and I went to run some errands and I decided that I wanted to go into PETCO to "maybe" face my fear. Well, it took a little time, but I was a few feet away from the aquarium!!! 26 years of this phobia and I was standing right in front of an aquarium with snakes! I feel very proud!

That's my good news for the day!

So proud of you!!

Hi

Hey Sweetie... any word??

I am frustrated. The embassy was open yesterday, they signed for my package then. On the home page for the embassy says they were closed yesterday....so I didn't call.

I called today - they are closed today, for the holiday. blink.gif

Now that we are in the home stretch, I'm not doing too good and not feeling like I can hold it together.....that's sad isn't it? wacko.gif

headbonk.gif <-----that's really how I feel, or maybe I need a smiley face shooting himself in the foot...

OMG.... what the H E double L are you talking about woman!!!!!!!

Of course you can hold it together. You are like DAYS away and after all the long waiting... the calling... the unknown..... Dont you dare quit now! You can taste it.... MY GOD woman!!!! its right there.... grab it!!!!

Ok... that was my slap for the day!

Hugs Missy!!! (I know you can do it)

I know, I know.....just really tired of all of the drama. Thanks for the slap and the hugs....I'm fine. Just ready to get in touch with the embassy and get moving forward!

Hope you are doing well..

I'm fine, I hope YOU are doing well.



Well, Yes I spoke to Jessica .
She is ok.She has a hard time understanding all the waiting..
But it will be ok.
How are you and Lars> anything new on your case?



Nope. I'm tracking our package and it's in Gabon, I guess it will arrive at the embassy on Monday - but I'm not sure if it's a holiday for them or not. We are hanging in there, crossing our fingers that the rest of this goes smoothly and he is out of there and on his way HERE on November 15th!!

Hi All
Glad to hear that Richard.I called them today as well this morning and they told me I was still in AP.Over two weeks now..
No reason given and she said there is no time limit to tell me..
This is horrible.
And its a three day weekend perfect.
I am losing hope on all this ..Again


DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP!!! Do I need to come down to Florida and kick your butt?? Wait a minute....trip to Florida in October, sunny weather, beaches.....*

*edited to say
Carl, I'm coming to Florida to kick your butt!!! See you tomorrow!

Seriously, you need to go hang out with everyone in the Stuck in NVC thread. ScottThuy and Crazy Mazy,MariJoe...they all hang out over there and are really helpful and supportive.

Hang in there, you can do this!



Thanks Missy
I have read it can take an average of 30 days .
I guess I will just see her next year.. This is so bad for the relationship.
I am so stressed and trying to explain to Jessica is so difficult..
I guess my real pain is she is waiting. My pain reaches deep.
Thanks for your support.

there are literally a TON of reasons. I read that some embassies ask that peititions be held, if they have a lot to process, I have read that there is a serious back log of applications at NVC and they are processing them as fast as they can. In your case, I believe it's both. I don't think it will take 30 days, please go and talk to the guys that are in the Stuck in NVC thread, they are soo supportive. You will see her before the end of this year!

Well, I have our tracking number from DHL and I SAW the package going to Brazzaville, Congo. My heart stopped when I saw it. Plus, I called the embassy again and talked to someone that spoke english and it was very encouraging. I feel hopeful that we can get it all done and have him home by November 16th. Whew.....I'm exhausted by all of this.

One thing that has been a little unexpected.....I had thought that once I finished MY part of all of this, I would stop worrying about it all. I mean, Lars is an intelligent, mature, organized and focused man. He has an important job and has several degrees for goodness sake! WRONG - he's not nearly as organized as I am, he's not a worrier like I am....he's more of a "things will work out on their own" kind of guy. It's driving me crazy!

You guys have been my lifeline!! luv.gif luv.gif luv.gif


stille og rolig - that's the correct spelling. It means take it easy and when I hear it over and over again out of my Danish sweetie's mouth, it makes me want to pull my hair out!!

Another question how do i check DHL for deliveries ?

This is what I have on DHL tracking. Adjust dates accordingly.

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 around 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
5) You can also call the DoS to find out your interview date once you believe the embassy has scheduled it.

I am glad you are back!

So... you all know that I wrote my congressman, for help finding my file... was it sent direct to the embassy, was it sent to the NVC, did the NVC send it back to the USCIS (which the USICS said they did)....

I got a letter back from my congressman... saying the NVC does not have my file... LOL, forget about the other answers... I guess, i didnt explain the issue well enough... smile.gif

Thankfully, the NVC has it now and I dont have to fight city hall on this!!

wacko.gif helpsmilie.gif I'm so confused!

it's ok, MIssy, so am I... basically what I was asking for help on was to find out where the file was since I was getting conflicting information. But apparently they only wrote to the NVC who responded that they didnt have it... which by the way, they did at that point smile.gif

LOL - you know, we WILL look back on all of this and laugh our butts off! I don't plan on being one of the VJ Old Timers that are here dishing up advice all day every day; however, we sure do have some stories to tell, don't we?

Don't kid yourself there's still AOS....removing conditions....citizenship....lol. We got YEARS more of this wink.gif At that point we'll be with our SO's so it won't be as painful as this first part of the process has been. THANK GOD!

Good point, and it's a happy thought! I get sad when I don't hear from my VJ friends.

Missy you are sooooooooooooooooo quiet lately!!

Working and trying to stay positive and happy. My mom isn't doing well and we are still at NVC - no end in site. SO happy for you!! How could people do this for anything other than love?? It is awful.

agreed, it is awful...

I am sorry about your Mom, Missy... there is an end in sight... and it is closer than it has ever been... try to remember that. I know it is hard... been there, done that, bought the T-shirt!

You always make me smile when I need it most! I called NVC and talked to them. They have grantd our request to change embassy and told me that they didn't see any other issues. Expected to be sent out this week.....I'm keeping my enthusiasm low key right now so....wahoo.. When it's officially on its way, then I'll have a BIG reaction!

Let's party before the news comes that we hit AP!!!!!

I am relieved, as I am sure you are!!! We are still at NVC, trying to work through the embassy change. Hopefully, we'll both be out by the end of the week!

Once i got my noa2 on August 7th, i kept calling nvc ever couple of days. they confirmed they did get my case and told me it was in processing and to call back in a few days. When i called back on the 27th of august, that is when they told me it was sent back to uscis and that i had to call uscis to get any info as they had zero information for me. My us Fiance called nvc and got more info than i did, NVC told him improper paperwork or something to that effect. They even gave us our consulate case number.

As for the RFE, my file was "touched" on September the 11th at USCIS, and states that on Sept 10th a letter was sent. It does not say what letter or any details, however when my fiance called he got the exact reason and what part of the paperwork was in error, and the confirmation that it is indeed an RFE. We have yet to receive the hard copy by mail. Yes it was California, but i figured it may be what happend to yours as well. Both of these centers are completely inept at everything they do.

So you know what the RFE is for, but you cant respond until you get the actual RFE? Man this system is soooooooooooo broken!!

What are you two doing about the RFE?

And yes, they are inept... unbelievably so!!

I think it's time you called for backup - get the congressman (or woman) on the phone NOW and let them sort out this mess. This is just the kind of thing that they are supposed to be good at. Where is your attorney in all of this?? It's time you got MAD!

So, I called the NVC to ask IF they had our case.. and they dont! and why on earth they would send it back to the USCIS... which she didnt know, and thought if for some reason they did, the file would still be logged into their system and it is not... so, go figure... more disinformation!



OMG
Richard what is wrong with them>?

I have just been told me cASE is in AP
She said there is no time limit how long it can stay there .,,
OH let her explain that to Jessica please

Alright, I'll sccot over and make room on the sofa for you two guys. I'm sorry that you are having so much trouble, especially NOW that you were almost finished. It makes me SO mad!

Good Morning ! quick question. when should i start calling NVC to follow my docs? I called this morning they said 4 weeks after NOA2. When u found out if ur docs reached NVC ? Thanks !!!!!

Some take only 3 or 4 days to get there, others like me, are still not there after 2 weeks. I call several times a day... to the best of my knowledge, they do not track your calls..... at least before they get your file... Missy did say that the NVC knows how many times she calls... so that must be after the file gets into the system.

If you are not in the system, they can't log your calls into their system because they don't have your case number yet. Once they have your case number in their system, they make notes. If they are saying 4 weeks after NOA2, do they know that you are K1??


They never asked me that. Just the case number.

K visas are expedited through there - most of them are anyway. Some go through AP but apparently that's a small percentage. You have to talk to a person, the K's are not entered into the automated system. Keep calling at least twice a day until they have your case number. Chances are you will go through there pretty quick and by the time they have your number, you'll be out.
