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

Oh my god!!!! I was driving home and my phone chimed that I had a text. I was just going to ignore it, but I took a peek to see who it was from and it was those infamous digits that come at the top of a USCIC text.
I almost wrecked my car!!!! I got to the stop light, clicked on my mail, and there it was APPROVED!!!! I started bawling, Posted Image the car behind me was honking at me to go, Posted Image I forgot how to drive for a minute!!!! I have never felt happier in my life. I called Ray from my cell, and he knew as soon as he saw me calling because we never call, we text or skype....
195 days!!!!!! Thank you all for being so supportive. I need a drink, or a hug, or something... not sure..... Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

Now all I can think about is you Texas22... Please say you got one too....


Congrats, im soo happy for you. Hope Texas22 get her's today too :dance:

From what's been said on the site, USCIS mail does not forward, but yes I have. At this point, I've done all I can from my end in hopes that I don't have to spend months chasing down my NOA2 or an RFE or fighting not to pay just to get a copy. A least I have a paper trail a mile long! Posted Image

Y wouldnt they want to forward the mail from the post office? i cant understand but we are here hoping we see it pop up in the mail at the new address via mail forwarding :(

Congrats!!!

I am trying to catch up and see that Kitty got her answer, some approvals etc! I am all happy for you guys.

Unfortunately my apt in Berlin has no internet so I am relying on 3 G only and no way to check USCIS unfortunately... :( will do on Friday but I am sure you will be all well approved by then :)

djricky at least now you can see what I am going through when checking all the numbers if I forget to email them to myself when I leave work. without updated one I go through all the numbers over and over again... All worth it for my Jan family though!


Good luck guys and speak to you soon!


Hope you enjoying your little trip, it came at the perfect time when u can take your mind off the petition and just re focus on life. Wish i could say the same for the other peeps in the group that are un approved. Seems like VSC tidying up the RFE's they gave out so im hopefully they will get approved soon. :thumbs:

Does anyone know exactly if we need to attach all of our supporting evidence (employment letters, pay stubs, tax returns etc.) to the I-134? or do we just place it in a folder for the embassy to reference it? What did you guys plan to do with it? Should it be arranged in any particular way?


We are just planning to put the employment letter in a standard envelope, pay stubs are too big to fit in it and also the tax returns so we just organize everything in a big folder and label the bottom of each page. try having it as organized as possible so when asked to present them, she can find it easily and in a way that she doesn't loose anything

Just got our interview date!!! October 10!! I'm so excited :)


Congrats, im happy for you :thumbs:

i just spoke to DOS and they said visa was issued today!!! embassy dude was just making me panic for no reason... these people really need to learn that this our whole lives they are talking about, they need to be careful with the language - suggesting something may be wrong just because you don't know the answer is a sucky way to do customer service!!

here's to more fears being allayed today, and everyone getting the good news they are waiting for :)



YAY!!! :star:


this is wonderfully news, no need to painc :dance:

is there a red stamped marking on the NOA 2 envelope with the quote "Return Service requested"? and was it sent by first class mail?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary I-129F filers
good luck this week everyone. Hope you all get approved soon. VSC seems to be hitting the high notes right now. you all are in line for approval soon. Just continue to hold on. We are awaiting word from uscis to see if our NOA2 letter was sent back as undeliverable, keeping our fingers and toes crossed.
Sabi entrusted me with the task of checking the numbers so i will see what i can do for this week. The list i have is not that up to date with the latest approvals from last week

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

Listen,
I just moved too, and although I've not gotten my NOA2 yet here's what I've prepared in case of this BS. Posted Image

Print the online confirmation. USCIS ALSO actually sent me a confirm saying they got my address change. (hopefully you all got that too!), I also called in, spoke to a rep AND sent a formal letter. I've read on the site that you can show them proof of having changed your address and they won't charge you if it's their fault. Now...I am sure this is easier said than done, but you better believe if my NOA2 goes to the wrong place, the shiz will hit the fan if they think they are going to try and charge me. I've got written proof up to the wazoo.

Good luck!!!

we are tryna do everything we an right now. calling uscis again in the morning to get to a teir 2 operator and tryna get in contact with post office to find out if the mail was actually returned. i thought the stress was over :crying:

we are in a spot of trouble. it seems like our NOA2 letter got sent to my fiancee's old address. She moved from the apartment, notified the post office about a change of address about 2 weeks now and changed the address on USCIS online July 30, now we are hearing that if the post office dont return the letter to uscis for them to send it to the new address, we are gonna be charged $400 just to get the NOA2 letter back. :(

My case left NVC to the Montreal consulate on Aug 2nd !! I think i should start on packet 3 ! I hope everybody had a nice week end ! I wish a super good week to those of you who are still waiting for their NOA2 ! :D


Congrats, im so happy for you. Hopefully im at that stage next week this time :dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary I-129F filers
well im waiting for word from my fiancee to see if she got ours today.....if not, she is going to have to call USCIS cause i think the address change might have affected where they sent it. We changed the address online the monday before we got approved and she changed her address at the Post office the week before we got approved.
djricky4MaleJamaica2012-08-06 14:34:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary I-129F filers
is there anyone in here that has gotten the hard copy of the NOA2 yet from VSC who got approved last week?
djricky4MaleJamaica2012-08-06 10:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary I-129F filers

She certainly is!! :)

Dare, I'm with ya!! I'm totally losing my mind over this. If I don't get approval this week I think I am going to be so depressed...and I have to try not to be.. and just spend the last weekend with my hunny before going back, but I feel like crying right now ... :crying:


ITs soo sad that USCIS is doing this to us but the only thing i can say is hang in there. dont worry about it, just enjoy the time your spending with you fiancee. We all hoping everyone get approved soon. You all get approved soon......we all waited for 6 months

They keep changing the forecast!!! It gets closer to us, then a bit farther away, then it looks like it will be on top of us and then they move it back out over Roatan.....ugh. I guess we will have an idea by tomorrow night/really early Tuesday morning but I am guessing that it will bring a lot of rain no matter what! I remember one week in 2010 when it rained the WHOLE WEEK without stopping. I could not stand the sound of rain anymore. It was insane. There was nothing to do b/c the streets were so flooded and nasty and where I worked was closed b/c the roof leaks...oh man. I hope it's just a day or two this time!!!


This weather is a Joke, i havent gotten a drop of rain in my area. hope it doesnt do much damage when it gets to you :thumbs:
djricky4MaleJamaica2012-08-06 07:24:00

Well, we're delayed slightly right now as the police say they won't have our certificate done in time for the medical on Thursday, even though they will have had it for more than 10 days by then. We've rescheduled for next Thursday.


so sorry to hear. Maybe its for the best, ere thing happen for a reason :thumbs:

The weekend has been good. We took the kids out to the lake yesterday with friends, went swimming, boating and tubing... :)

Trying to keep my mind off of all of this... but there is only another week before we leave to go back to Canada. Really
hoping to be able to celebrate NOA2 before we leave. If we do, I'll be looking forward to the next steps... If we don't,
it will be a long depressing trip back. (sigh)

Im hoping you hear something soon. We are all thinkin about you peeps that are still waiting.

Just wanting to vent: I HATE OUR EMBASSY! :crying: Almost 2 months since NOA2 and almost 1 month since they received our petition and still no news from them on when our interview appointment is. They are slowly driving me crazy! :wacko:


im really sorry to hear. hopefully you get your date soon. just continue to hold on, the dreaded K1 visa process will be done and over soon enough.

POST DECISION ACTIVITY !!!!

OMG I am just after ringing Terry, we were crying like little babies...

Thank you guys for being there for me and I promise to be there for all of you who are left waiting and I will be updating you the way I have been every single day!


Congrats Sabi, you deserved it. :dance:

OMG Paul!!! That is so great..this is the best ever!! Congrats mate!!! I remember the first thing I said to you was I think we are in the same box..I knew it LOL


COngrats, the long wait finally pay off :dance:

Best day in VJ history. And to think we all got it together. We've all stuck together through this. That's how family do :dance:

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

To be fair, those denials may be from the folks posting in the main K-1 forum who didn't follow the instructions. There was a thread started by someone who only sent the I-129F form and the payment...nothing else.


I read that one, they were expecting RFE. Man the lawyer would have made a lot of us or we would be crying about RFE haven't it not been for VJ. Cant imagine getting RFE on the already 6.5 months of waiting

Today so far:

January 18:
1 x denial

January 19:
1 x denial :(


So yesterday they started the day with RFE's.......today its with denial. I know how frightening that can be but if your confident in your petition, you should be alright. Still have a little less than 15 hours of work time left to be positive about. I hope tomorrow isnt as awful as the previous ones

It's the USCIS case number, so the EAC#.

thank you....just wanted to make sure cause we not sure when the NOA2 going to get to us with some recent address change issues. just hope it gets there when it supposed to. hoping for some good news when we call NVC the middle of next week
djricky4MaleJamaica2012-08-02 10:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary I-129F filers
we all know its possible for NVC to get your case before you get the hard copy of your NOA2. What number do you have to give NVC, the Alien # on NOA2 or the EACXXXXXXXX that was assigned to you from USCIS?

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

Hey guys :) So idk if some of you filed the new DS-230 available here http://www.state.gov...ation/81807.pdf but it has yellow highlighted parts...The embassy sent me the older version "expires 06/30/12" and this one has no yellow bars. Is it likely to be a problem? I would simply fill the version they sent me but I can't find it anywhere online. Thanks for your help, and let's hope for some approvals today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Fill out what they gave you, its unlikely your going to find it online. Once they update the forms online, the older versions are removed. As long as the forms arent more than a year old, it should be ok. thats the policy at our consulate :thumbs:

we here hoping the rest of our process goes smoothly. finacee changed address with uscis online system on the weekend.....then we got approved on monday, she moving out the apartment this saturday but will still have access to it until month end. i wonder where will USCIS send the approval letter? ohh btw, she apply for a change of address @ the post office the week before we got NOA2. hopefully we can get that letter in hand by monday
