I filed for I129F Visa October 20,2009. I read on here that people call but get no positive answer and then I see others that get action so my question is to everyone Should I call or Not? Would like to know the consensus

Thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportspatiently waiting...

I'm from October 19th and I've been hearing that "should be expecting theirs any day now" thing since the end of December basically. Every week I check the forums and every week it is the same thing: any day now.. The statistics from the timelines are an average and don't say that much, imho. Since it's over 4 months now and the standard processing time is 5 months at VSC, I'm thinking that yeah, now finally in the last month, it should be any day now. Otherwise on the 19th of March I'll be the first one to call the VSC.

on the 20th of March I will joining you in calling VSC

Aren't Canadian visas the fastest of the fast? SO fast, that you will have a hard time gathering all the docs and proofs needed for the interview! star_smile.gif

rofl.gif all I ever notice is that the Canada people seem to wait as long as the middle eastern countries


My fiance is a canadian permanent resident from the middle east!!!!! i'll be sending this form off here in a couple days. to think a price and a waiting list is put on love. it's rediculous!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportshelp with fiances address
my fiance is getting a restraining order on her iranian family. she is not safe there. from what we know the authorities are giving her a place to live for two weeks and then we are going to do all we can to find a room for rent or an apartment. i'm guessing that now i cannot send off the i-129f because i dno't have an address to put on her forms. i was wondering, can she get a p.o. box to use for this? we are ready to send off these forms but are afraid that something might be sent to her home if we can't get a change of address sent in quick enough. what do i do?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportshi guys
Hello friend,

I have a question....I have recently sent off my I-129F petition and received my NOA1 a couple of days ago. What is it that I need to do now to get ready for the next step? I am pretty sure I have a good idea but I thought of I could get people to tell me all of the things that they had done that I might get a chance to see something that maybe I wasn't think of. Thanks a lot and hope you are doing well : )

HI, EVERYONE smile.gif I JUST GOT MY VISA:)))) star_smile.gif

WELL NOW ITS THE BIG QUESTION... DO I NEED A ONE WAY TICKET OR WE GATTA BUY TWO WAY TICKET?

OH AND ON THIS POINT ENTRY (THE AIRPORT) WHEN U ARRIVING? IF THEY ASK ME HOW MUCH MONEY I HAVE ? I MEAN I DON'T HAVE A CREDIT CARD... AND ACTUALLY ILL ENTER WITH LIKE... $200... blink.gif I RELAY COMPLETELY ON MY FIANCÉ. blush.gif DO U THINK THAT IT WILL B A PROBLEM unsure.gif


Not sure exactly what you are asking with the tickets but I will tell you what happened to us last week and maybe it will help.
Everyone said buy round trip tickets for us both because it is cheaper that way. I bought round trip tickets from U.S. to Peru and back to the U.S. for both me and my fiancee. The day I boarded my Delta Airlines flight to go to Peru they informed me that my fiancees tickets would be canceled because she did not board in the U.S. They informed me that I would have to repurchase the tickets once I arrived in Peru that showed her flight beginning in Peru. This cost me another $600 after receiving credit for the first purchase. So your tickets must reflect where you originated and can not begin in U.S. if you are not their to get on the flight. This is U.S. Customs law is what I was told. Hope this helps.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWait frustration

We filed at the very beginning of June. They received our petition on June 7th. We received an NOA1 with no instructions and we have not received an RFE or anything else. The only and last time it shows our file was touched on their site is June 10th. The USCIS timelines for Vermont show 5 months from start to finish for an I-129f/K-1. This is driving us nuts not knowing where we stand who to contact, or if anything has been done with our paperwork. Many others who filed around the time we did, and even some after, have gone straight through. Some even already have their visas and are planning their trips to the US. We have heard nothing and it just doesn't seem fair.


I remember us waiting and feeling like time was just creeping by, just hang in there and all will come together. When things do start to move again they will move fast. Good luck and hang in there, it will all be worth it when things come together.

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

Hello Visajourney world !!!!!!

First and foremost I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who has been there since day 1 to help me with every single question and concern. I cannot begin to explain how appreciative I am of you guys, and of course, of the existence of this forum which has made my visa process for my fiancee (K-1) 10000x much more attainable!!

Secondly, SHES COMING OCTOBER 5th !!! YES!! Our interview went superb (read consulate review) and she is receiving her Visa on the 5th of October, to which I already bought her plane ticket that DAY !! I CANNOT WAIT !!

Lastly, because of her coming to the United States, more importantly, a predominantly caucasian/english speaking city/state (Clarksville, TN), it will be much harder for her to adjust than say my hometown of Miami, Florida (mostly hispanic/latin decent). Does anyone have any wise words, tips, or perhaps any guidance towards reading material on how to establish a warm welcoming for her?? Books, personal experiences, stories, anything would greatly facilite her transition into the American Life.. American MILITARY life :S..

Again, THANK YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS ! :) !!!!! WISH US LUCK !!!


Congratulations! Air Assault! (former 101st soldier)

Hey friends! I havent filed just quite yet. I just returned today from Bogota today and had my sweetheart sign the necessary papers. I am going to sent it out on Thursday!!!

Is anyone else using the Vermont filing center? From reading previous posts, I get the feeling that it might take longer than the usual 6 months...Is this so?

There seems to be a couple of VJers responding that are pretty experienced at the waiting game. I know it is small consolation, but they would no doubt sound off if they thought the delay was outrageous. Have you tried calling the USCIS Directors office? I read a post or two about people getting answers this way.

Cheers


You mean calling directly to the USCIS Dir office? Where is the phone number??????


I don't remember if it was for the whole USCIS or just VSC. Let me scope around and see what I can find. You may get a response from some more knowledgeable VJer who sees this. I think you will still have to have him call - if I understand the earlier posts.
