K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsGot an RFE so far no progress

ARGH! That must have been so frustrating for you agnar. I'm mad on your behalf.

If USCIS would just put in the I-129F instructions what it tells people in RFEs about primary and secondary evidence, you could've sent that stuff the first time. They suck!

I really hope they get back to you soon.

(Also - you should consider posting about your RFE, what you had sent originally and what you sent later - in the pinned RFE thread in the main K1 forum. It's a good resources for other filers just starting out.)



guess what ?

USICS has clearly mentioned in the RFE letter not to send photographs, video recordings, emails , chat logs .

specifically asked us to send flight itineraries, baording passes, credit card payments made on our names, hotel bookings made on our names and luckily we have preserved them all and send them as our additinoal evidence of meeting

It is posted from Fort Worth, TX and even received a confirmation that the USCIS have eceived the RFE reply from us somewhere 24th or 25th April i guess . hopefully they touch it this weekend .

any way its a waiting game.

agnar

Agnar,

Just out of curiosity and to perhaps help others - you said the RFE was in regards to 'proof of having met.'

What did you send originally as proof?

And what did you send in response to the RFE?


~O


initially we did send only engagement photographs , whihc werent convincing to them i guess , so they sent a letter asking for additional evidence of meeting.

so we sent our airline itinerary, boarding pass, credit card payments made at Sanfransisco (where we met ) and my stay proof at radisson hotel before engagement at fort worth , movie ticket stubs (casino royale ) bought at fort worth, etc.,

They don't "delay." They just have to receive and process your stuff. It takes some time. From your timeline, you returned the requested materials on April 17, right? Were they mailed from within the US?

Look up Jake&Ali's timeline. They received and RFE, got their stuff back, and it really wasn't too long (I say that loosely, since any extra time is too much time, I know) until they had their NOA2.

edit: here's their profile: http://www.visajourn...?showuser=33052 and you can see their RFE timeline is very similar to yours. They got their NOA2 a week and a bit ago, but I think you're probably still within the realm of (CSC defined) reason.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFinally my NOA2 has come

At last , CSC has considered my petition and approved it :dance: :dance: :dance:

good luck to you all who are still waiting for NOA2


Congratulations! Good that your approval came through after the RFE you received. :)

Did you receive the paper NOA2 or e-mail? From what I'm seeing, there's a slowdown or glitch w/ the USCIS website, and they seem to be showing 'touches' but case status does not change. This last week many have found out they have been approved by calling customer service and through the menu inquiring about a "possible RFE" based on the 'touches' only to be told their petition is approved. That's how I just found out a few hours ago about our approved petitions....so I'm just wondering if you got an e-mail notification, or whether the paper NOA2 arrived in the mail?

It never ceases to amaze me how many different processes there are as evidenced by this forum. Some get e-mail notification, some only see 'touches' and are left to wonder, and some don't even see touches yet their petition is approved. Something is definitely screwy w/ the USCIS website. :wacko:

Wishing you a speedy remainder 'journey'. :thumbs:

-P



yep, USCIS website has some technical problems , so even i felt wierd when i heard from my fiance today morning that my NOA2 hard copy is received but the website doesnt say anything about the approval.

All i say is "WHATEVER" , its approved and its official . The NOA2 waiting game is over and done.

and congratulations to you too

PhilippinesCase expedited - NVC to USEM (F2A)

Hello everyone! Here's my journey from NVC to USEM for future reference. :)

September 12 - NOA 2 (received by text) ^^

September 18 - NOA 2 hard copy; Ma sent form I-824.

September 26 - I emailed NVC asking if they already have my case because I will be turning 21 in a month. I was
unaware that time that they just received the case from USCIS. Yeah, excited much.

October 8- They responded to my email and gave my case number. :) My mom received the acknowledgement letter telling us that they already got the case and ready for processing.

October 9 - Called NVC asking for the IIN. Also got the acknowledgement letter. Filled up DS261.

October 10 - Mom got AOS bill invoice and paid it. Still unaware that they already sent our cases to USEM.

October 12 (12AM Philippine time, LOL) - Called to ask about my case because I am about to age out in less than three weeks. Operator said that they don't have our case anymore and it was expedited to the embassy because I was about to age-out. I asked, "Uhm, embassy here in the Philippines, right?" (Pardon me!^^ I was surprised! Didn't expect it all!)

October 15 - Case is loaded at USEM. Physical case: "ON HOLD" I tracked it using DHL tracker. ;)

October 16 - Mom sent forms I-864EZs to me, ITRs (3 recent years just in case), W2s, photocopies of passport and green card; Registered to SLEC online to have an advanced medical as suggested by apple21. Thanks apple! :)

October 19 - Got AOS docus. Thank God! :)

October 22 - Physical case received as what was said by the operator. I told her that I will be turning 21 on the 30th. She asked me if I emailed IVMNLAppointments to ask for an expedite appointment and I said yes. She checked it and told me to wait for an email that day or the next. She also told me to submit our DS260 already. I submitted mine that day but we were not able to submit my brother's application. Off to Manila for the medical!

October 23 - First Day of Medical. We were super early (2AM) and finished at around 09:30AM. Got the email from the embassy at around 3PM waiving our schedule and to come on any workday from 7:30-10:30AM. I was freaking out! Good thing I brought all the docus with me! I called them to confirm it and told them we just finished the medical earlier and we will be having our immunization (hopefully!) the next day. She told me that it's okay and noted that we will be coming there on Friday. We still haven't submitted my brother's DS260 and I was nearly panicking. Until I saw that note about reading the DS 1080 (?) or Selective Military Service first. Clicked that one and the previously grayed out button of 'Sign and Submit Application' is now functioning. DS260s all sent! Slept well because of that! :D

October 24 - We got our medical records. The nurse at the reception counter said "Oh. No interview letter." Good thing she said that because if not, we will not be able to bring our records for the interview the following day. I told her that we will be having our interview the next day and I showed her the email and then gave me the X-ray CD, Immunization record, and an envelope which contained my records. My friend sent me a message to prepare some photographs to show relationship b/n me and petitioner. I was hesitant at first because we have the birth certificate to prove it but did it anyway. Thank God for that! :)

October 25 - Interview Day! We went there around 06:30AM and we approached the guard and he told us to come back after 15 minutes. We just sat not far from the queue looking over Manila Bay. So yeah. We came back as we told and asked the guard again if we are now allowed to go inside. He said to us to show the appointment letter to guard at the tent. As we were walking to the said guard, the people in the line were like, "Wuuuuuu". In my mind I was like, "Come on, I'm just doing what I was instructed to do!" ;) The guard there told us to go to the lady in the middle. Good thing, there were only 3 of them in the line. I'm not sure what line is it though but the lines on both sides were full. I showed to her the email sent to me and let us pass through after she placed stickers at the back of our passports and put it inside the ziplocks. Inside the embassy, I think we have to drop the appointment letter with the queue number attached to it at Window 39. But there was a girl there directing where to sit and I just showed her the letter and then she took it from me. I dunno what to do there really. Haha!




























There will be three batch/groups of chairs there. First- Interview with the Filipino consul and Biometrics, Second - Interview with the American consul, Third - I dunno what to call it. But they will basically tell you to go home and just wait for the visa (Happiness!) OR tell you the lacking documents you need to submit again (Dreadful!). I was nervous while waiting for the interview with the Filipino consul. My bro was like, "Chill, ate!" Grr! So our number was up and went to the cubicle. The interviewer was not smiling at all! Gosh. I was just thinking that maybe, she was doing it as a facade. Lol! She asked for my name and my birthday and told me to pass my birth certificate and NBI Clearance. After that, she noticed my brother and asked if he is <Insert name>. He said yes and she answered, "Paano ka?" ("How about you?") I told her that the call center agent told me it's okay to bring him along since his case was in the embassy too and was expedited. She asked her senior and was told that it's okay and they will just search for his files. The lady asked us to pay for IV Fee upstairs while waiting. Afterwards, we gave her the form (IV Fee) and passed my bro's birth certificate and NBI clearance. Also, the forms I-864EZs, W2s and 2012 ITR, mom's photocopy of passport and greencard. She asked me what's the work of my mom, her address, when did she enter the US, how did she get her green card, why is it that my dad is not included in the petition. I indicated that I sought for an NIV last 2006 and Tourist Visa (2008) and she asked me about it. All went very fast and we were told to sit back again. The girl directing the people where to go asked me, "Ma'am, nainterview na po ba kayo ng Pinoy?" I said "Yes po ma'am." "Na-fingers na po ba kayo ma'am?" (She was talking about Biometrics.) I smiled awkwardly and said "Hindi pa po ma'am." So she directed us to the first batch of chairs. Dang. If my friends were there, they will surely laugh maniacally! Haha! Anyway, in the biometrics, we were asked what our names and birthdays. Can I mention that the fingers- I mean, the Biometrics guys is cute? Hahaha! :) We proceed to the second batch of chairs there and waited. We were watching some program from Cartoon Network and my brother and I were laughing! Not only because of the program on TV but also, the American consul from one cubicle was asking all sorts of questions! My brother told me that he heard the question, "What's the name of his dog?" Gosh. Fiance visa is hard to get for sure! It was unlucky because the girl didn't know some important information about his fiance that's why she received a lecture from the consul. Our number showed up, not looking forward to the worse, we walked towards the cubicle, smiling timidly, and praying to the God that all will be okay. We reached the cubicle and thank heavens! The consul was nice! :) She even asked us how we are! :D We were asked to raise our right hands to attest that what we placed in DS260s are true. There was no weird questions asked. Only our names, and birthdays, and when did my mom first went to the US. It took a long time before we heard anything from her. She was changing something in the system and I'm starting to get nervous again. I think she was changing our visa status from 'Ready' to 'Issued'. Lol! She looked to us and said, "One window left! Congratulations! Have a nice day!" Gee! Thank God! :)) I kept on hitting my brother's arm until we got home because I still can't freaking believe it! It's been a long journey for us. (Applied for NIV last 2006 but got refused.) We transferred to the third batch of chairs and waited for our names to be called. The lady there was also nice and told us that we can go home but before that, we have to drop the forms (forms for 2go delivery) at the other counter. The lady at the other counter got our forms, looked at it, and said that we can go home now and just wait for the visa. Yes!! Thank God! :)

October 30 - ????? Saeng il chuka hae! It's my birthday but I'm not expecting (again) for our visas to arrive. It was around 11AM when the 2go delivery man called and told us that our visas are already here in Baguio and ready for delivery. He instructed us not to go anywhere because he will drop by before 1PM. So yeah, we waited for it and YEY! Got our visas now!  

God is good. All the time. I would like to thank Visajourney and all VJers who helped me.  You guys are the best!

As what I've read here, aging-out and medical emergencies are valid reasons to expedite a case. :)

Be prepared with all the documents and payment.

 

-  i864/i864a with original signatures of the petitioner and joint sponsor

-  petitioner and joint sponsor's latest ITR and W2

-  petitioner and joint sponsor's proof of citizenship/LPR status

-  petitioner and joint sponsor's proof of relationship

-  your NSO birth certificate

-  your CENOMAR

-  your NBI Clearance (green, taravel abroad) and/or Foreign police clearance

-  your passport

-  your visa photos

-  $230 immigrant visa fee

Doing the medical examination in advance is beneficial to your case, IMO. 

 

 

Thanks a lot apple! I'm half way done with the documents because I still don't have my AOS files. I think we will be eligible with i864ez though because my mom filed a separate petition for my bro. I'll just have to confirm it to the embassy tomorrow. :)

 

With regards to the medical, I read your post yesterday that you just brought your acknowledgement letter(?) wherein there is a case number stated in there. My brother didn't receive any letter but he already filed for a CoA. Do you think the SLEC will accept ds261 instead?

Hello guys! Anyone here who had their case expedited because of aging-out? F2a beneficiary here. Can you please share the process here? I don't have any clue what to do next. So here's what happened to my case. I emailed NVC last Sept 26 to ask for my case number because I want to speed things up if possible because I'll be turning 21 on the 30th of October. The NVC steps that I've gone through are: completed ds261 and paid AOS bill. I called the NVC yesterday and they said that my case was shipped last 10.10 at the embassy while my AOS fee was still pending. I asked whether my mom (petitioner) will still mail the AOS documents to their office and they said that since the NVC does not have my case, they will not receive any documents from us anymore. And also, I haven't even paid the IV fee and filed my ds260 yet.

you may opted to do it now because as i have said slots were very limited, just to check if your target date was still available anyway your appointment would not be completed/confirmed if you haven't upload your picture there just like in DS 160 :) let me know what happened :))

PhilippinesHelp! error in CFO, cannot make a schedule via new appointment system

 

I checked and tried the CFO's online pre-registration site, seems to be working right now. (I did not continue, of course.)

 

Did you select "AMERICAN" in the citizenship on the first step of the pre-registration? If it still doesn't work, you might just give them a call to inquire tomorrow morning, I guess.

 

By the way, I was informed that you will need to upload a digital photo in the course of the onine pre-registration, similar to DS-160's requirement.

 

yup i was able to accomplish pre registration without any problem,i also selected there my fiance's citizenship but the link from my mail that they sent for scheduling was the one with system error, there's a repeat question about fiance's citizenship but everytime i select the answer and give it a go it says that i didnt put my fiance's citizenship. wherein i tried it selecting many times

I am now on my last step on my K1 visa journey and this last step will be the seminar but it was giving me a hard time *sigh* i always got the error that states "Please indicate your fiancé(e)'s / spouse's / partner's Country of Citizenship." 

though I already selected it. Tried it over a hundred times but still I cannot proceed on scheduling because of that. Anyone experiencing this now? I really need to get a schedule for Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO)

When all your requirements had been completed at the NVC, how look it was before they gave you your medical and interview appointment? was it weeks or months? Hoping for your reply.


Hi margaret! With my case, my fiance called the nvc abroad to check status of the packet that I should receive...we were advice then that it was sent to manila on March 6. We also asked our Case number.. the Mnlxxxxxxx. Once you have the case number, you may start the process -

1. Pay visa fee. Download the deposit slip and go to bpi.
2. Schedule visa interview appointment
3. Go for medical exam. No need for appointment, unfortunately its a first come first serve basis so long lines are inevitable. What I did was answer pre registration just to skip the hassle of filing out on the day.you need to have an visa interview appointment before having medical.

Up to now I havent receive the packet. The call center agent told me that it really takes sometime. The packet consists of instructions, ds froms, and your case number. All these are downloadable online and of course your case number can be attained via nvc.

3. Go for medical exam. No need for appointment, unfortunately its a first come first serve basis so long lines are inevitable. What I did was answer pre registration just to skip the hassle of filing out on the day.you need to have an visa interview appointment before having medical.

Up to now I havent receive the packet. The call center agent told me that it really takes sometime. The packet consists of instructions, ds froms, and your case number. All these are downloadable online and of ciurse your case number can be attained via nvc.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMedical and interview for k1 visa

We just finished our medical last Thursday and all I can advice is for you to bring the necessary documents which are posted on their website. Bring copies of each. If you have copy of immunizations or if you were sick and was confined more specifically lung problem, you should bring certification from your doctor what you had, medicines you took, operation made, results etc. everything that you need to report must be properly documented and must be certified by the physician. These documents would be very helpful for you. Otherwise, as long as you're healthy and not by any chance exposed to people that have lung problem then you're good to go. You will know everything on the second day. If they give you the immunization then it only means that you passed all the exams that were done. Don't forget to eat before leaving your house because food is not allowed there. Good luck!


Great great, thank you and good luck on your interview!
