K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	What does your list mean? The cases highlighted in red are currently in RFE status - the ones in yellow are approved - the one in blue is nargie's case.	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-09-01 15:22:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	I'm really hoping they don't lose momentum over Labor Day weekend... I think they'll be okay. Look how much they got done yesterday and today - the Friday before labor day. (and half the employees probably took off today to make it an extra long weekend) Call it a gut instinct, but I feel like next week is going to be good. I hope the instinct is right!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	Happy days indeed! Maybe we should send VSC loads of packets of strong coffee to keep them motivated and handing out the approvals. Good luck to everyone still waiting! Great idea! And hopefully some of the workers will be enticed by a little double-time pay to work on the holiday Monday. That would be awesome! But irregardless of that, I too feel like next week is our week - the March cases are going to start flooding out of VSC! Thanks for the friend add, heylimes!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	"....Forwaaaard, MARCH!..." (Must give my wonderful fiancee credit for that one - hahaha!) What a great mood in here today!	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-31 16:59:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	Hi everyone, first time posting here. Thought I'd share. I'm a March 5 filer, my number is EAC1290564620. The number directly before mine got approved today, the one directly after mine got approved yesterday. Would be great to get an approval today too on my birthday! Anyway, good to see movement in March. Wow, what a crazy feeling that must be! Welcome aboard, rzay. I hope you get yours soon. "Let's go V. S. C." (*clap* *clap* *clap*) "Let's go V. S. C."

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	maybe u can help me with numbers for my list I have mostly been checking everything around March 7th, and you have done an excellent job with your March 7th list. The only other one I found that wasn't on your list was EAC1290582623, which is still in initial review. Also, when checking the other numbers on that list, I get different results on a couple of the numbers: I find that EAC1290582636 is in RFE (8-16) and EAC1290583519 is approved (8-23). Keep up the great work, and I will post more updates as I find them from checking those numbers. Hang in there, everybody!	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-31 11:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	yes im only checkin vermont because im from vermont Same here. I only check Vermont cases.	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-31 11:14:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	My receipt does say California at the bottom of it. Makes sense. When I saw nargie's list, every number was EAC and I started to wonder. Yes, I believe nargie is only checking on Vermont petitions.	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-31 08:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	I might have overlooked this, but what's the difference between WAC________ and EAC________ on our receipt numbers? Mine starts with WAC. I'm pretty sure that W = West and E = East. W being California filers and E being Vermont filers. At least this is what I have been interpreting it as.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	Oh my goodness, guys!

I'm shaking and yelling right now (people in my house must think I have some serious issue)!!! I will call my fiancé in a couple of minutes and tell him the good news. He has to get up in half an hour anyway, so this will be a great Good Morning Surprise! Still can't believe it! I typed in our number like four or five times, just to be sure!!! March is around the corner, all of you waiting will be approved soon! Awesome! Congrats! It's getting pretty exciting in here!	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-31 07:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	OH MT GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just checked and we got approved!!!!!!!!!!! (after 171 days) i can't believe it! i checked the number about 3 times but it is really ours and we got approved without an RFE! i am shaking right now.... my fiance is on his way home from work and should be here within the next 10 minutes, but i couldnt wait and just sent him about 3 texts with my german phone.. hahaha.... seems like they are getting into march now!!!!! keeping my fingers crossed for all you guys! WOW! Congratulations! You must be the march 12 approval I just saw on Igor's list. Sweet! Enjoy!	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-30 16:22:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	Thank you so much my beloved sweetheart, for taking your time checking the list so you can give encouragement in here! Yes, we will keep the faith always, baby. I can't wait to be with you already. I love you so dearly, and I miss you so very much already!!! <3<3<3 Good luck and God bless us all, MARCH FILERS! Thank you, sweetheart! I love you and miss you very much, too! Yes, we will all make it through this with encouragement from each other. ...and thank you, nargie, for finding all of those March 7th I-129F case numbers.	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-30 07:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	Also, Ive been at the USCIS website checking the list of March 7th NOA1 case numbers for I-129F that nargie posted back on page 49 of this thread... Here are a few statistics: There are 62 cases in that list - four of them are currently in RFE - one of them has been approved already. So, slowly but surely, March is being worked on. Keep the faith, everyone!	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-29 10:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	If it's the same one, I apologize for the false start. But I swear it wasn't there yesterday. Or is Igor's list just trying to mix it up to make us think there is progress? LOL! There has been nothing from VSC. Something's going on (or not going on) there... yet again. 186 days estimated now. Hahaha. I think that list does have a tendency to mess with our minds. The thing that I can never understand is how my number in the sequence can drop even when there have been no approvals since the last time I checked it. I can understand when my number increases because more people are constantly creating timelines and may be inputting NOA1 dates earlier than mine, but in order to go down when no one is being approved... are people dropping out? Haha. It's a mystery! I guess the good news that I've been taking away from the list lately are the 5 approvals on 8/27 and the one on 8/28 - even though they are Jan/Feb filers, at least it's movement. It keeps my head up! Good luck to us all!	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-29 10:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	Dont think it just popped up... As far as i can remember, weve talked about that one, because it has a Feb 12 sent date, but a march 17 Noa1.... We were wondering whether that was a mistake and they had actually received their noa1 in Feb.... Yep, I remember that now. I was pretty sure I had been looking at that approval for a week already.	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-29 10:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	Yes it's the 15th on the list here: http://www.visajourn...tion=2&sortby=2 Nirmesh & Anita... here is their timeline: http://www.visajourn...e.php?id=128511 Am I confused? No, you're not confused. I just took your original statement to mean one that was approved today. Did that one just pop up on the list? Edited by Starflyer 59, 29 August 2012 - 09:33 AM.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	March VSC NoA2 on Igor's List today!! Wonder if it was expedited? An I-129F? I'm not seeing any "new" ones - just the one from August 22nd. Edited by Starflyer 59, 29 August 2012 - 09:10 AM.	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-29 09:05:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	I'm right there with you all! NOA1 - March 7th; "Touched" March 19th Haha. You all are right about the "Raiders" warehouse! I think the guy that melted after opening the ark was the one assigned to my case. Haha!	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-19 11:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March (2012) filers...	it is very frustrating - but at least, thanks to vj, we already knew what to expect... i don't even want to imagine how those people must feel who don't know about this forum and then call after they hit their 5 months mark, just to be told vermont is still working on january 16th!!!! Amen to that! I often think about how those people that are "out of the loop" must feel. I'm so glad to have the VJ community to read everyday! Even while waiting for NOA2 approval I am constantly learning more and becoming better prepared for future parts of the process.	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-16 15:30:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Philippines - Seminar before visa is issued	My fiancee just went through this seminar yesterday in Cebu. After reading all of the horror stories on here she had mentally prepared herself for the worst. As it turned out, even though they did talk about the usual cases of things having gone terribly wrong after the fiancee's arrival in the U.S., much to the surprise of both of us, they also mentioned a few cases where things worked out happily. My fiancee told me that aside from the expected cases they discuss, that there are parts of the seminar that would actually be pretty informative for those who do not have access to the type of resources that help guide them through the visa process (such as this wonderful website does). She told me that they talked about what to expect as far as government paperwork once she gets here - such as applying for an SSN, adjustment of status, etc... The seminar was broken into two parts with the morning time consisting of a group lecture, and in the afternoon was the one-on-one counseling session. This part could be somewhat beneficial for those that have not received their visa yet as it is sort of a "practice run" of some of the types of questions one may encounter during their interview. All that being said, I realize that not everyone had a decent experience there (and I truly feel bad for those that came away terrified because of a not-so-friendly lecturer or counselor), but I just wanted to relay my fiancee's experience and say that my advice would be this: Prepare yourself mentally for the worst and apply your own good judgment to anything they tell you. If you happen to get a lecturer/counselor that is somewhat friendly, consider it a bonus!	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-08-09 11:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	NOA2 is missing consulate	Thanks! That was my initial assumption too, but what threw me off is that when I called, USCIS people became very confused and, for the lack of better word, disoriented. They had no idea why the consulate did not appear on I-797, which tells me that I will have to chase this, just to ensure that it doesn't end up in a void. As far as duplicates go, I will hold on to both of them, and send them both in for the AOS. Thanks! I definitely see why USCIS's reaction alarmed you. It wouldn't surprise me if that would be their phone rep's reaction even if it is stardard procedure for the letter not to include the consulate. I figured if I called them to ask about it, that would be the type of answer I might get (after having received no help from them with other questions I had at the early stages of filing). So I decided just to ask NVC about it after they received my case. I waited a week, called them, and when they gave me a case number with the correct embassy letters I knew I was okay. Best of luck to you!	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-10-24 13:25:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	NOA2 is missing consulate	I can't offer any advice on the duplicate I-797 forms, but I can tell you that mine also did not have the consulate listed. After puzzling over this for a few moments, I decided that the statement could be interpreted as "...will be forwarded to the consulate listed (in your I-129F application)", even though the part in parenthesis is not actually stated. I may be wrong on that assumption, but I didn't worry about it and I had no problems. Mine went right through to the correct embassy.	Starflyer 59	Male	Philippines	2012-10-24 10:08:00
