K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 Case received

That's really interesting that TSC is handling your case because from what I've seen here on the site, most Philippines Cases are sent to CSC (California). Hopefully someone who is petitioning for a Philippine fiancee will chime in with more information. Anyway welcome to the Journey! (F)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproval based on Medical Expedite

Just wondering if you had received a formal email stating your expedite was approved? or just a straight up NOA2? 

Text and email stating approval and Notice of Approval was mailed to me on Aug 12 and when it is received that I should follow directions on the Approval Notice

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproval based on Medical Expedite
Received email and text message August 12, 2014 stating that our petition had been approved. Just want to advise that this was based on an expedite that we requested on July 28.

I appears that TSC is moving and transferring cases, so for everyone who were ahead of me and are still waiting, I pray that you all receive an approval very soon.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPetitioners birth certificate required?

Copy of passport should have been sufficient since your birth certificate was needed to obtain the passport IMHO. But as has been stated before, the request may be country specific. Hopefully someone who has already processed through Vietnam can chime in with more information. Have you tried asking the question on the Vietnam Portal? If not, it may be worth a try. Wishing you good fortune.


Oops sorry, you already did that, didn't you. Well hopefully you will get you question answered soon!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat can the Reason Be?
I am soooo mad. I did not sleep at all last night worrying about this matter so this morning I called my fiancée and he told me that it was not the Embassy who called him but some unknown person. Another thing we have to worry about in the DR. Someone trying to set you up or steal your identity or rob you. Don't know exactly what was the purpose was but I am glad that my fiancée called to verify before going!!!! Everyone processing through the Embassy in the DR BEWARE of the fake Embassy Calls!!!!
DarkKissNot TellingDominican Republic2014-09-18 08:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat can the Reason Be?
Per CEAC, Our case was received at the embassy in the DR on the Sep 15, 2014 and status changed to ready.

We have had no contact with Embassy only waiting now for the packet 3., but something very strange happened today. My fiancée received a call from the embassy and was told that he needs to go there tomorrow at 11:45. When he asked what documents he needed to bring with him, they stated only his identification. This is very strange indeed and out of the normal processing procedures. What could be the reason for this request? Has anyone ever had this happen to them. Please help, I'm going crazy trying to figure out why they want him there so soon without even an interview, no medical, no nothing, please help!!!!

For K-1 Visa, appointments are set by the embassy in the DR, not by NVC. I had the same statement and I called the embassy to confirm and the answer was as I stated above.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFinally Got an Interview Date!!

You need the packet 4 for the medical and to make the payment at Banco Popular.

Thanks

Congratulations for your interview date.
E-mail the consulate asking for interview date, they will send you an e-mail with the beneficiary name and interview date on it, that is the packet 4, with that e-mail he print it and pay at banco popular ,and do medical.
Medical has to be done at least 3 weeks before interview, no before, he cant do medical one month before.
Remember that he need go to the medical and go back to pick up the results.
For that is good go 3 weeks before and go back to pick up the results.
Ds-160 can be fill out any time.
If your fiance wants he can fill out now, and keep the confimation page.
I filled out my ds-160 one month before interview.







As always my friend, you have come through for us. Thanks so much. You as a gem and I treasure you and your advice deeply .

DarkKissNot TellingDominican Republic2014-10-05 08:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFinally Got an Interview Date!!

Ladies your spouces can take the email you receive to do the medical right now it's costing about 320 due to flu shot. The email is enough do not wait for packet 4 to get to beneficiary. For most that I know and myself it was never sent. Good luck and read the most current interview experiences as you get ready for your big day .

Thanks for the info, but doesn't the medical have to be current at least within two weeks b4 the interview?

Anyway, we hadn't even received the email yet and the interview is still not showing up on the cita list. Maybe it's because it's not until November.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 at NVC...Dominican Republic

When you call the visa specialist again, ask them for the date that it was shipped to Embassy.  There is a HOT topic somewhere on the site "How to Track DHL, where this gentleman can help you to track your DHL just by using the date that it was shipped.  

 

Then you will know for sure that it is at the embassy, probably sitting in the mail-room. Until your package makes it to the section where it is actually put into the system, CEAC may show IN Transit but in actuality it's already in the DR.  

 

That's what happened to me.

On August 4, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

Thanks for your response, is that the date above you mean?

 

If this is the statement that you are receiving, this means that they have not mailed your packet to NVC yet.

 

 Keep checking and it will soon show the circle for Post Activity Decision ,and a statement stating something like "On DATE, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing.....That is the DATE that you will know when it has been shipped.

 

You need to wait a bit longer until you case status shows Post Activity Decision.

 

Hope this helps.

Go to www.USCIS.gov and select check case status. Put in the CSC #, and it will show the message under Post Activity Decision when the case was forwarded to NVC.

You can also call USCIS customer service number at 1-800-375-5283 and receive the info verbally .

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCEAC ???

From what I've read here on the site , Yes it's normal.  I receive the same statement.  When it changes to TRANSIT, I think it will mean that they have sent it to embassy, and when it changes to READY, it has arrived at embassy.

 

If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone more experienced will correct me. :)

1.  Include passport stamps and photos of you two together as well.

2.  The G-325A can be saved, after you entered all the information, in PDF format which can be emailed to be printed and signed.  Its not exactly a copy since your fiancé will be printing out the original.  Yes he will have to mail it back to you, since it needs an original signature.

3.  The letter needs to be in ENGLISH.  Your fiancé does not need to translate it to Spanish to sign, for you to turn around and re-translate it back to English.  All your fiancé needs to do is sign a letter of intent that is written in English.  Your letter of intent can be exactly as it is written in the example forms.  Your fiancé needs to sign this and mail it back to you.

4.  I don't know how much evidence you should include, but maybe include a variety of evidence to prove your relationship. 

5.  Yes a copy with the highlighted number will work.  In reference to the calling card, is there any record that could link the local number to his personal number?  In any case maybe you can write a note saying that the local number is what you called to call his personal number.  I would go back as far as you have phone records.

Thanks Zedayn for the informaiton. Will keep you guys posted

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFirst Time Filer

Hello All:

 

So here is my Story.  I am preparing to file for my Fiance who is from the Dominican Republic (D.R.)

 

Questions????

 

1.   We met in person in January 2014 when I went to the D.R. to visit him.  I have airline ticket boarding passes as evidence of departure and return portions of the trip.  Will that be enough for evidence of meet in person requirement?

 

2.  I filled out his G325a for him, and emailed it to him for him to sign and date and DHL it back to me.  Will the fact that it is a copy,with his original signature, work or should I have DHL'd the original and have him sign that, then DHL that back to me? Just seems like a waste of money.

 

3.  I emailed him a copy of the example form of Letter of Intent that I got from this site. He used that example and has prepared a letter of intent to marry in his own handwriting in Spanish.  When he DHLs that back to me, I will be the one to have it translated into English over here in the U.S correct?.

 

4. How much evidence do I need to send to confirm the on-going relationship?  We have lots of emails commencing from the beginning of our relationship in May 2013 until date.  I filed those emails in folder, so when I open the folder, all of the items show as one-line items with a only a portion of the conversation visible. On those emails, can I just print the opened folder or do I need to open every email and print them out showing the content of each?  Also how many emails do I need to send them.?

 

5.  Phone Records.  Sometimes I called directly from my cell to his cell of which ATT records show his personal number, but the majority of the time I used an international calling card where you call through a local number, put in the pin number, then call his number.  When I used the calling card, only the local number shows up on my ATT bill.  Can I just make copy of bill and highlight his number as well as the calling card number?  How far do I need to go back with copies of the phone records?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
