K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Successful Embassy Interview!	QUOTE (Gerald and Vinera @ Jul 9 2008, 04:57 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Greetings All, I haven't made a post for a while but today is a cause for celebration. My fiancée had her interview today and it was successful! After 11 long months since we filed our petition with USCIS, and for those of you who have been following our case know the many frustrations we went through trying to get USCIS to correct an error they made, know how happy we are to finally be completed with this process! To those of you new to this website it is a wonderful recourse and don't be afraid to share your frustrations and ask for assistance. There is a wealth of collective experience and knowledge from the members of this site. Even though you may feel total frustration with the whole Visa process at times hang in there because it eventually does come to an end and know that you will have all our support and prayers along the way.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NOA2!!!!!!	QUOTE (Don E @ Jul 14 2008, 05:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I guess that the touches on July 8 and 9 did mean something after all. I received a copy of the NOA2 in the mail today!!!!! The approval date was July 9. There has been no change to the online status....still shows "received and pending". I would guess that the timing of my call on July 8 and the first touch must have been purely coincidental, but who knows? I'm just thrilled that the darn thing has been approved!! About fricking time!!!! Here's hoping that many more approvals will come in this week's mail to others! congrats to you both	Sal and Jay	Female	England	2008-07-14 11:46:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Off to New York!	QUOTE (Jason-Sasha @ Mar 24 2008, 03:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Today's the day! I'm leaving in 30 minutes for the airport. Will finally get to welcome my sweet Sasha to our new home. I'm so very excited.... I'll meet her in NY and we'll fly to Richmond together. We've been waiting for this day since she returned to Russia in 2006. I remember how broken hearted we that day. Our visa journey had not yet begun and the uncertainty for the future was unbearable. But after a year and a half she will return to our cozy little city. This is like a dream come true that I'm sure everyone here will experience soon, if they haven't already. Thanks again, to everyone of you for making this community what it is. .... I better go now. Can't sit still. Congrats Jason that is gonna be awesome to know when you see her its the last time you will be seperated. So happy for you both.	Sal and Jay	Female	England	2008-03-24 10:43:00

The funny thing is I had run out of clean pants in my closet, except for the Peruvian ones. Drove to work, and I open my email: And there it was. CRIS himself (or herself) had sent me a personal email, stating that he/she approved our petition, and that the notice had been sent! Ah, the magic of the Peruvian pants. Heck, I think I will wear them till my So gets here. Thanks all for your support. Congrats, lots of people will want to be borrowing your peruvian pants lol.

My immigration attorney submitted my first I-129F Petition back in September of 2007. It was received by the California Service Center on September 20. Someone at the California Service Center incorrectly classified it as an I-130 and sent it to the Chicago lock box to be processed. In Chicago they correctly identified it as an I-129F Petition and instead of sending it back to the California Service center to be processed they sent it back to my attorney and issued me a rejection noticed because it was out of their jurisdiction. I re-filed and received my first NOA dated January 14, 2008. Since that time I have been trying to get USCIS to put me back in line where I would have been if it had not been for their mistake. So far I've had no luck though almost 2 months ago an adjucating office at the California Service asked my attorney's congressman for documentation which was sent at that time. I haven't had any luck trying to find a way to contact the California Service Center by telephone. Has anyone had a similar circumstance and if so what was the outcome? Thanks very much for your input! Gerald UPDATE: I spoke with someone at the USCIS National Service this morning who was actually very helpful. He took all my information, gave me a confirmation number and said if I didn't have my NOA 2 by April 27 to call them back. I'll let you know if it really happens. I am going to remain positive and optimistic!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	E-mails	QUOTE (jordin @ Apr 8 2008, 01:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am a litter worry because on the e-mails I submitted with the I-129 for my Cuban fiancee we wrote to each other as husband and wife. It is just the way we call each other since we lived together for a while. Howecer we are not legally marry. We are both free to marry each other once she arrive to Puerto Rico. Also is very natural and part of the culture to call each other husband and wife in the Habana when you live with your fiancee. Will that affect in a negative way my petition for fiancee visa? Withe the Packgage I submitted the of "solteria" certificate stating she is single. Please I need some advice.

Just wanting to vent a little, so thank VJ for letting me "get the lead out" What happened to us is that when it left NVC, Jay the usc got a letter from them saying the petition is being forwarded to the beneficarys consulate.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	E-mail from Embassy!	QUOTE (FaSa2008 @ Apr 1 2008, 07:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Congratulations!!!!!!!! QUOTE (michellemilitza @ Mar 26 2008, 11:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Today is my Fiance's B-day and today I got an e-mail from the Panama embassy saying that his case was approved!!! His interview was March 10, and he had to go back to turn in some documents that were missing (because by March 10th they weren't ready) so he turned those in on March 19 to the embassy. It's been over a week and still nothing. I tried calling and nothing.........so I decided to write them an e-mail yesterday..........and today we got a response!!! They said he was approved but that they will call him to pick up his VISA, yes that's right they specifically said VISA!! I just love how they make you wait, but I don't care because we know we are approved!!! Gracias a Dios!!. I had to share this with everyone. So to those July filers who are still out there waiting there is still hope, and to those who are starting their journey, don't give up the best is yet to come! Now I'm doing the dance: Congrats to you both	Sal and Jay	Female	England	2008-04-01 16:18:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	CRIS update after NOA2	QUOTE (Ranie and Glen @ Apr 10 2008, 05:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Sal and Jay @ Apr 10 2008, 11:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Ranie and Glen @ Apr 10 2008, 05:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dear all, I wonder if there will still be update from CRIS after the release of NOA2, such as update that states that CSC has sent the case to NVC, and update that state that NVC has sent the file to the consulate. Could u pls let me know? I am concerned since our approved petition hasnt been sent to the NVC Many thanks in advance! You may see touches after approval, in order to know if the case is at NVC you need to phone them and speak to a person. They will inform you with the latest information. Hello Yes my fiance called NVC this morning and they said they didnt have the file yet. Just wondering if CRIS might give us update email about that. What can the touches after approval mean Sal and Jay? Im not really sure but imagine its when they are getting them ready for forward to NVC. Every time they touch a file it has to be scanned and this results in the site being updated.	Sal and Jay	Female	England	2008-04-10 12:21:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	How do u know u got touched?	QUOTE (aleena @ Apr 11 2008, 07:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey! I was wondering how do people know they got touched? I created an account with USCIS and asked for email updates. Yesterday I noticed the "last updated" date on our case changed. Is that a touch? I never received an email notification though... Hi there, Yes when the date changes that is a touch, means your file has been moved, looked at, each time they touch your file it is scanned and that is reflected on the date change. You will only recieve an email on approval or rfe.	Sal and Jay	Female	England	2008-04-11 02:53:00
