USCIS Service CentersRFE TSC?

would you mind if i ask what documents they adked for. I received an email last november 2013 that our case is for RFE..But unluckily our hard copy was sent to Kuwait, me and my husband lived there begore but we already changed our address online. Anyway we already talked to the uscis people and they admitthey made a mistake and they told us they will send an expedite request forour case in CSC which ourcase has been transferred. Im still confuse if that means expedite should we still need to waitfor a hard copy of RFE and respond to that? Anyway, just to be prepared what documents they asked you for?
I dont know what else they need, in our applucation its obvious that me and my husband are living together in kuwait with a 1 year old baby, we assumed that is enough proof that we are genuinely a married couple. Living together in kuwait for almost 2 years..
thanks a lot

No problem, They asked me for 2 people to write a statement saying they know we are in a relationship. In this statement they must include there full name address and how they know you. It can be a very brief statement. I got my dad and a co worker to write one.

Then they wanted a letter of intent to marry from both of us. This must be original copies. You can find examples of this letter online.

Also Two passport style pictures 2x2 in size of both you and your fiancée. You must write your full names on the back of these.

Also I sent 4 pictures and had to label them of where they were taken. They just need evidence for their files. Everyone has to go through this mess.

That is what they wanted from me. I did not include this in my petition when I sent it.

To expidite means they will just re-mail it to you. I would definitely keep on top of this. Time passes by quick.

I am open to answer anything to the best of my ability.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)K1 Visa Overstayed for less than 2 years.

And what king of technicality do you speak of? Immigration is very firm on dates.

To the OP, according to the new dates you gave your ban would be 3 years. Congrats on your new marriage, and maybe apply after you have children, having children at home is a strong tie to your country.

I was saying technaquality because you mentioned that there was no record of when you left the United States.

I believe that if you overstay for 180 days over that u are banned for 10 years. Maybe u can slip through the cracks on some type of technaquality. Best of luck to you.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Lifetime Ban From the US - Now what

Yeah I talked to a lawyer about this sort of situation myself. Seeing that you are not allowed in Italy anymore You both have to meet up somewhere and get married. Then petition for him here. I agree that you need to show extreme hardship for yourself as to why the USA would have him back for instance he is the breadwinner of the family, sever depression from a doctor. I was also told by a lawyer that he believes they may deny it the 1st time and you may have to appeal. Or if you both had a child together that would be another reason for him to come back. I am in NO WAY stating for you to have a child just so he can come here. And it will take about a year for all the paperwork to go through.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusReally confused now..please help

Schedule an interview. Ask what needs to be brought to the interview. I myself (the petitioner) received an email on everything that needs to be done like medical, and conformation. Be sure to check in your SPAM or JUNK emails because that is where I found mine. Good thing I checked because I almost deleted it


NawlinshoneyFemaleGuatemala2014-01-25 15:49:00

Do you have a Case Number? If so go to Ceac.state.gov   then put in your info.  This will tell you the status. I also received an email, but it was in my SPAM...  Please check your spam/Junk emails...... I almost deleted it by accident.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)shipped to Department of State

Thanks for the responses, I will follow up. My prior advice was the attitude of don't call us we will call you when I called NVC.

 

Again, thanks....

Yeah that's the same bull they tell me too. Not to call them they will call you. I have learned to stay on top of things.

I am also filing for a K1 Visa and the embassy wants us to do a DS 160, So yes. You can do it online... Also I went to youtube.com and found some videos of people filling theres out as samples. Just do a search. Hope this helps.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDs-160 Question

If you go to its either the USCIS website or CEAC website they do have a link showing the rules of the picture that the picture has to be taken within the last 6 months. I believe it has to be like a passport picture taken in back of a white or off white backround. You can just load a picture into your computer. _No smile, just a relaxed face.  No hats either unless it is a religious costume.


NawlinshoneyFemaleGuatemala2014-01-03 19:28:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionThis AP is Ridiculous

Today is exactly a month since my fiance had his interview and still nothing. All they have to say is that the case is undergoing "administrative processing". Ugghhh!!ClockWatch2.gif unsure.png

Geez... That's a mess. Haven't heard of waiting a month.


NawlinshoneyFemaleGuatemala2014-01-25 18:45:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionCrazy Worried

Our interview with the Embassy is Feb 13, 2014.  I  know they want the most recent W2 forms and 1099.  I already received my W2, but I also get royalty money that I get a 1099 that they haven't sent me. So I wont be able to do my taxes.

My question s it ok just to bring the W2 and explain that I haven't gotten the other form yet in the mail? Just show up with last years paper work from my completed  taxes, and the W2 from this year seeing that it is early in the year and haven't gotten everything yet?

 

Also if I decide to get a co sponsor do I need a copy of their birth certificate to show they are a citizen?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 approved !!!!!!!!!

Believe me I know 90 days is a long time. I am right with you I hate it too, but that's how it is. It's 30 -90 days it could come sooner thats just the time they tell you. To your question "How do you know if it got approved?"  I received a letter in the mail of my K 1 Visa approval. I realize that is not the type of visa you are looking for. On mine I have a recipt number and then log on to www.USCIS.gov scroll down then click on "Check my Status" No need to call every week. I understand the frustration I feel it as well I want things to move quickly too, sadly its not like that.


NawlinshoneyFemaleGuatemala2013-12-17 12:17:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRequest for Evidence. Sad, Sad, Sad Day.

Usually you will receive something in the mail stating what they are looking for. Like maybe birth certificates, pictures, etc... I received a Request for evidence for my K1 Visa and they wanted some sort of proof of a relationship. Maybe have you sent them money do u have some recipts?

Like I said they will usually send you a letter in the mail. If you receive no letter in about a week I would call them see if they can resend it. That's crazy it took them 9 months to get to that conclusion.

Girl I know EXACTLY what you are going through. I have been apart from my fiancée for a year and a half. I tried waiting to see if he can get a visa on his own and its hard so I filed for the K1 visa. I have been completely miserable and heartbroken and have cried. I have been alone for the holidays. The process can not go fast enough and if we get denied for any reason I don't know what I would do. So we have these types of sites to help each other and pass the time. Believe me friend I know just what you mean.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 visa aprroved!! But aprroval notice says to contact consulate???

Hello Newbie. I can only tell u my experance. My K1 Visa was approved Nov 6, 2013 then it is supposed to go to the benificary's country as far as my understanding, where the benificary will be notified through regular mail or email for an interview or medical exam..etc.. I had also called the Texas 1-800 number at the bottom of the approval notice and this is what they told me. If you ever want to call the 1-800 number I have called it twice and they are very friendly and helpful. Hope this helps.. Oh also I believe you can ask for an extension of the k1 visa approval. So that if the visa is not ready they will give u an extension. Best of luck.. I'm going through this all too for the 1st time.

I had to send evidence as well. After they received it they goy my NOA2 back to me approved pretty quickly like 2 weeks or so. Its the time after that seems like it is dragging to me. I got my Petition for Fiancee I 129 approved on Nov 6th, So I wait and wait and wait....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny help [K1 follow Case number NVC]

They are not concerned about my feelings, but yeah I am completely miserable over here without my fiancée. I haven't physically seen him since Oct 2012'  I thought he could get a visa to come back on his own, but it is very hard so that's why in August  2013 I applied for the K1 Visa. I wish they would hurry.


NawlinshoneyFemaleGuatemala2013-12-24 22:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny help [K1 follow Case number NVC]

 

Ok, so MOST of the time, and I say MOST of the time because I have heard of a few exceptions- this message means that your case was approved but has not yet left USCIS.... once the message says something like On (month) XX, (year), we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly. Then you know it is on its way to NVC and then you give it two weeks and start calling.... good luck and keep an eye on the USCIS website... As my friend celebs mentioned above, lots of people from California are getting approved fast but their petitions are taking around 1-2 months to be sent to NVC.... keep us posted...
 

I agree that when your I129 is approved you will get a message like you did and it will stay that way for about a month then it will change to "WE SHIPPED IT TO DEPT OF STATE FOR VISA PROCESSING"  like the previous person wrote. Then after that I keep reading that it takes 2 weeks to get a case number. I called the NVC its a (606) area code I believe and a recording comes on saying they are not giving this information out. I know strange. I am thinking cause sooooo many people call.

I would say your status will stay the way it is for about a month I am working with the Texas lockbox though.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCase #

I sure that you have your case number asigned.
When I got that message after 10 bussiness days I got my case number.
Maybe your case is at the consulate already.
Try to call again to nvc, or e-mail them.
When you e-mail tgem, tgey answer in 10 bussines day.
Type in the subject your uscis number.
Then in the e-mail write petitioner name and birthday, beneficiary name and birthday and after that ask for your case number.
My fiance got my case number calling, but I dont know the number he called.
Try to find the number and call tomorrow.







Thank you for your response

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCase #

This is my 1st time posting so forgive me if I posted in the wrong section. On Dec 3 I got an update on the USCIS website stating " We shipped this approved petition to NVC for visa processing" I keep reading how it is supposed to take 2 weeks to get a case number. I called the NVC it was a (603) area code it was a recording saying they are not giving any information on case numbers, so I just hung up. now should I have stayed on the line and asked for one anyways? Do you know if they are giving them out to customers at this time? I just figured there are too many people calling and asking for them.

I know with a case number I can go to a different site and track the visa, but anything else this case number will help with?

 

1,000 thanks to you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSome GOOD news (I129F approval)

Great news for you. Mine got approved on November 6, 2013  and then sent to NVC on Dec 3, 2013 so I am still waiting, and waiting. Just giving you a timeline. Congrats

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow long do you wait?

Well on mine I sent it to Texas, and I got a receipt in the mail like 2 weeks later. Where did you send it to? I would think u should have at least got a recipt by now. There is a 1-800 number you can call. I have called them twice and they were very nice and helpful.. After you finally figure out what number to press to get to talk to an actual person...lol

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVisa Denied! :(

 

You cannot apply for a waiver of a 9C bar until ten years have passed from the most recent departure from the US. In this case the OP's fiancé will not be able to apply for the waiver until 2020.

I disagree. No need for a waiver after they are married. I have talked to 2 different lawyers about this and they both have said the same thing. After you go to the fiancées country you can marry them there. Come back to the USA and file for a CR1 ( Do not quote me I would have to look it up) petition. But she/he does have to claim extreme hardship without the other person in order for them to come to the USA.
