K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary I-129F filers

Hello Friends. Just back from Krakow last night! Terry absolutely loved it. My parents love him now even though there was a small communication barrier ( language) , my brother and his family love Terry too so I am really happy ! Other than that he is leaving tomorrow morning so getting sad now but at least its not going to be too long now...

We still haven't received the interview date yet, it will be 2 weeks this Wednesday since I sent the pack 3 so I am hoping to hear sth this week.

I am happy for all of you who got approved and those already in the US.

So sad that Texas is still waiting! I don't get it!!!! It's ridiculous !


You will be with terry soon. your gonna be surprise how fast time move's once you get interview date. i cant believe mine is in 6 days. i could be moving the same week the visa is issued :dance:

Flight tomorrow

Let's have some good news today please

Congrats on your approval kelso!

We have to change the interview date :( my fiancé called the London embassy help line and was advised to send them an email. He sent the email today requesting a new appt date. Hopefully it will not be changed to a November date. I'm hoping it can be changed to a sept date or still be in October around the 3rd. We will see. I hope they email him back by the end of this week so we will know.


congrats kelso
sorry to hear you have to move the date, hope it dont really mess up you all plans

Thank you Kate. I'm sure your fiance's interview will be fine.. I know how hard it is not to think about it... like... a lot! (sigh).

I had a long talk with my Mom today. She seems to think that there is another reason for the delay, my unfinished business here.. and that everything that is delaying the process will all fall together in a very short span of time. I hope that can be tomorrow.... lol..

I feel despair at this point... honestly... it just seems like it's never going to happen. :(


we are still here for you texas. hoping you hear something positive soon :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary I-129F filers

does anyone know an easy way to find out if the nvc has recieved my k1 packet? other than calling..i really don't feel like trying to get thru to a reasonable person for an answer after the long ordeal at the vsc..(noa1 date 1/18/ noa2 date 8/15)


im sorry to tell you but either you call them or wait on the letter from them that they receive your petition and shipped it off to the consulate. It would be a good idea to call if you wish to provide them with updated email address or phone # for the consulate to contact the alien fiancee :thumbs:

Update..... :)

Sveta passed the interview and will be here with me September 30th!!!!!!!!!!!


Congrats :dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAssign The Same Alien Registration Number From Previous Petition,Is this Normal??

It's a little bit unclear still. Is the A# that you have the same as it was in the previous petition, or is the A# for your fiancee the same as it was for the previous petitioner? Your A# is yours for life like an SSN so you having the same A# is fine and to be expected.

 

Well let me see if i can make things clear,I am the Beneficiary of a K1 visa (now) and i was previously a beneficiary of a CR1 visa that my ex-husband (the petitioner) Filed 3-4 years ago.My fiance recently receive our Notice of Action Transfer for our I129F,I compare the The Notice of Action transfer letter along with the revocation notice that was sent to my ex-husband.that's the only document i have with the A# from the Cr1 paperwork,and i realize they both had the same A#/Alien Registration Number.I am just confuse as to why i was given the same A# number.it might not mean anything but it just feel weird to me.but i guess like what Jawaree said some people get one for life like a SSN,maybe am just one of those people.


JEWELLAFemaleJamaica2013-08-20 22:44:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAssign The Same Alien Registration Number From Previous Petition,Is this Normal??

A # does change but its for no special reasons, some ppl end up with one for life,

but unlike SS # it can change without cause which could be a new file created, a new

assigned # by an agent dealing with file, It does not affect approvals either.

 

I guess am just one of those people who get one for a lifetime,I am happy to know that it doesn't affect approval,cause i was a bit worried about it.even though i have nothing to hide and everything is already on record with my previous immigration visa history.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAssign The Same Alien Registration Number From Previous Petition,Is this Normal??

The date on the NOA1 is the date they received your petition paperwork. It is not necessarily the date your online status changed or the date of your e-notification, so the date is probably not incorrect.

 

Once you are given an Alien Registration Number(A#), it is yours for life, the same it works for a social security number in the US. If you had one before, then that A# should have been used on the forms sent with the petition.

 

Well in that event according to my NOA1 letter my received date would be June 12,2013 and NOA1 notice date  June 14,2013.but the transfer notice said receipt date June 13,2013.so that makes me a little confuse.

 

I did not know that i would assign the same alien registration number that was given in a previous petition of a CR1 filed by my ex-husband (fail marriage) about 3/4 years ago.I thought it would be a different A# being that it's a different petitioner and different immigration benefit/visa.how would they know to give me the same A#? I would assume they must had done some kinda research to know to give me the same number..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsQuestion 35 on the 129F Form

Thanks a lot, now we can submit our documents on Monday and hope for the best, good luck to both of you!

 

your welcome and good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsQuestion 35 on the 129F Form

Question 35 states: Did you meet your fiance or spouse through the service of a International Marriage Broker?

 

 

 35a. If the answer is yes, provide a copy of the signed written consent form IMB obtained from your beneficiary authorizing the release of your beneficiary's personal contact information to you.

 

Which form are we required to submit as we do not have a signed written consent form?

 

Thanks!

 

 

in your situation the answer is "NO".Afrointroductions does not applied to international marriage brokers (IMB).IMB is a paid marriage dating service where they charges a fee for proving dating and matching making service between the U.S citizen and citizens of foreign countries,in which they have to do a  background checks before means of communication are permitted between the USC and foreigner.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved!!!

His birth certificate is soooooooooo there. GRRRRR. I'm being patient and know everything has went smooth thus far so I cant complain. Any advice on what I should do now?! I emailed them right away today with my fiancés contact info.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat happens after NOA2?

You will get a case update from USCIS notifying you when they've shipped your case to NVC.. wait a week or so, after they've shipped your case to NVC, then try calling NVC and try to see if you're case number is already available.. once you got that, things will go faster now.. Good Luck!

 

Thank you so much for proving me with the information i neededdancin5hr.gif


JEWELLAFemaleJamaica2013-09-21 11:08:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat happens after NOA2?

No now you complete DS-260. You have to wait until NVC assigns your case numbers. Not sure who told you documents are only good for 3 months, but when we got ours, they were good for one year.

Yeah,i am awaiting my approved I129F to be transfer to NVC.will USCIS send out a notification when they transfer it?also will we get any form of documents or notice from NVC?it's very uncommon for a document to only last 3 months.i would say the minimum is 6 months and maximum 1 year.So thank you for the correction,At lease this is not something i need to worry about anymore.

 

Police Certificate is valid for one (1) year from date of issuance.
Non-Impediment to Marriage, can't find an exact expiration date but I'm sure it doesn't expire in less than 6 months. Complete your DS260 so you can get your appointment date and begin ordering your certificate, they can take up to 21 days for receipt.
Good rule of thumb: Order police certificate & non-impediment after you get your NOA2.

PinkrLion posted the checklist from packet 3 from the Embassy, it actually addresses the police certificate validity. Check out her Topics. Remember everyone, most if your questions have been asked before, be sure to review previous Topics by using the Search field at the top of the page.

Also, if you've successfully completed the DS260 and got your interview date please post a new Topic detailing your steps. Thanks!!!!





I would assume that the no-impediment too would last at lease 1 year,but i guess when i go apply for it i will find out.I can't complete my DS260 just yet until i receive my case and invoice number from NVC.I don't think it got transferred yet either.But as soon as i get the particulars and filled out the form.I will come back with an update.two last questions.I wanted to know if my fiance will need to order tax transcript from the IRS for our I134 application?out of the DS260.DS156,DS156K & DS157,i was told that one has to be filled out and submit online or does all of them need to filled out and submit online?i just wanna know if i can go ahead and filled out the DS156,DS156K & DS157 while i wait for my case number.Thanks in advance.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat happens after NOA2?

Hello Everyone!

Good day to all,I need your help again.I was approved yesterday so now my fiance is awaiting our NOA2 hard copy in the mail.How do we go about continuing to check our case status online,to know if they send it to NVC,when it leave NVC and reaching the embassy?we wanna stay updated with our case.also i was told previously that the no-impediment is good for 6 months and the police record is good for 3 months.I assume we will probably get our interview date in November since as it takes 60-90 days to obtain one.how soon can i apply for the No-impediment and police certificate?another thing is the DS260 a replace of the DS230 or do i need to submit them both?any help would be very helpful and appreciate.

Hello Everyone!

So couple hours ago my fiance had receive and email from the USCIS and we are very confuse about it if we had been approve or not.Our case status is not updated on the USCIS website,we did not receive a text message either.uscis website is still saying our I129F is transfer and being process and that is from August 15,2013.so am gonna post it below.on our transfer notice they had our NOA1 date in-correct so i had my fiance called last Wednesday September 11,2013.they said it wasn't a big deal and that were gonna update it and i would take 30 days.they also did mention that they have everything they needed and need nothing else.so we got an email from them which i find to be confusing.

On September 10, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

 

 

 

I'm a June filer who was transferred to Texas August 9th and I just got my approval yesterday!!  Hope everyone else gets their approval soon too!!!  It was exactly 3 months from NOA 1 to NOA 2 approval for us.  smile.png

I'm a May 28th filer and i haven't been transferred....still waiting at Vermont.

 

Yeah kinda makes me wonder what's gonna happen,i was really begin to feel happy when i see that VSC picking up back speed and working on march filers,soon i know it will be my turn.now with the transfer am completely lost.anyway good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2013 Filer of K1 case transfer from VSC to TSC

Either way they are doing it for faster processing of our applications.

 

I would assume so,but how much faster does it get?cause am pretty much sure that people from probably January to February still not approve yet.I do not like to be negative but with all the numerous  amount of I129F being transfer makes me worried and they are not processing in the order they are receive.either way i wish us all good luck!


I was transferred today too!

 

that's great,i do have a 50/50 concern with the transfer.Just hope all goes well.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2013 Filer of K1 case transfer from VSC to TSC

I was transferred today too. I'm june filer. Jeweller, let's keep praying for more noa2 within 1-2 months.

 

if that's the case that would have been awesome,I am not aware of TSC processing time.when i check on uscis for VSC & CSC it said 5 months,but i have no clue pertaining to TSC.being that were are transafer i do not know if this will add extra processing time for our cases to adjudicate.I'm keeping my fingers cross that we all will receive our NOA2's!


JEWELLAFemaleJamaica2013-08-10 12:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2013 Filer of K1 case transfer from VSC to TSC

They transferred lots of files for May to July. However, I'm still in VSC and don't know what is going to happen to my file. At first, the transfers meant faster NOA2 but I am not so sure with the number of transfers taking place.

 

I would assume they had transfer cases from may to july and maybe possible early august (news alert stated transfers of early filed I129F),since the last sets were from January-April.Don't worry too much about your file for it could be a good thing since VSC might have less I129F to process.almost everyone getting transfer to TSC could be a good or bad thing.i am just hoping they will not have a backlog and process cases faster.Just keep your fingers cross and hope for the best!


JEWELLAFemaleJamaica2013-08-09 15:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2013 Filer of K1 case transfer from VSC to TSC

Odd.  

 

We filed in June, and got a notice of transfer yesterday, but it said it was transferred to my "local service center" which I assumed is Vermont.  (I'm in Connecticut).  Am I wrong?

 

well when i check my status via the uscis website it said my I129F is transfer to my local USCIS Office for further processing.But in the news alert is clearly stated that I129F is transfer from VSC to TSC since i believe at this stage of the process local office doesn't process I129F.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2013 Filer of K1 case transfer from VSC to TSC

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2013 Filer of K1 case transfer from VSC to TSC

Good day everyone!

Since i started this K1 Visa journey,i had been checking my status online everyday for almost 2 months now.I just check my status today and saw that my I129F had been transfered.I assume it had been transfer to Texas service center since on the uscis.gov website alert stated that Starting the week of July 29, 2013, USCIS began redirecting all newly filed Forms I-129F from the VSC to the TSC. The receipt notice will bear a TSC receipt number beginning with ?SRC?. The case will be processed by the TSC. The CSC will continue receiving Forms I-129F.so my case was transfer today and am not sure if i should feel happy or worried,instead i have a panicky feeling inside because i do not know what to expect.I could have thought there was a balance in the workload by now since Vermont transfer January-April cases.i guess i thought wrong.I guess now i have to hope for the best.anyway I want to know if there's anyone else on  here for June 2013 got transfer as well?
