Its about to be 2 months since my RFE was "sent" . Randomly online my status changed to "initial review and address changed" which , I never moved. I called them and they said it was an automated system to ignore it. A couple days after I received a letter "receipt notice" but I received thag back in January when I filed. I'm beyond confused. I made a info pass appt and I pray I receive information here. I also emailes my senator and tomorrow morning ill be calling my congressman.

I really so nees him here due to my physical disabilities , caring for my daughter is becoming very hard. And I can't really work. Its all so frustrating


Your doing the correct thing by getting your congressmans office involved and booking a INFOPASS. After the meeting at least you know exactly whats going on with your case and what will be done about it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHere is what happened at our INFO PASS. U will be shocked!!

Hello,
 
I am afjusting from F1. My online status on uscis website shows that a RFE has been mailed to me on August 20, 2013. I did not received any text or email notification for the RFE niether I have received it in the mail yet. I tried calling uscis tiwice and they asked me to wait for 15 days for the RFE to arrive. If not received in 15 days form the day it was send, contact us again and wie will resend it to your address. Considering other peoples experience with RFE shared in this post, I am highly confused what to do? Infopass appointment is not going to make any sense as they will ask me the same thing " wait for RFE" This is getting really frustrating.


Sounds to me they are not mailing out the letter to you at all. They said on phone to us twice that they RFE was mailed out but at INFOPASS the officers who looked at our case noted that both times the letter never actually left the building at all and got on the phone and confirmed that to us hence why they now put it to a supervisor to deal with us. I would recommend you first call your local congressmen or women and tell them whats happend to you and then book a INFOPASS at your local USCIS office. When you are face to face with a officer it appears things actually get done.

As many of you know me and my fiancée are currently involved in a RFE fiasco with the USCIS. A quick re cap basically was issued a RFE on July 30th which never arrived so we called and had it resent but again never arrived. So today was had a INFO PASS and at info pass the officer looked at our details and said we was issued a RFE but WAS NEVER SENT and again that it was noted a RFE was again suppose to be sent on the 15th but again WAS NEVER SENT! Our case has now been passed to a supervisor but I'm very angry that the USCIS has actually wasted a whole month of our lives by simply not bothering to send the letters at all! The supervisor is now going to decide if the case should be accepted or a RFE does need to be issued. This is a major mistake on the USCIS part as letters never left the office twice!!
RichieMMAMaleUnited Kingdom2013-08-26 16:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRFE sent out on September 3rd. Is this evidence any good?

Did you just not send any of that the first time?
 
That list of things you've included with the cover letter looks sufficient.  Do you have any photographs of those visits together (not necessary, just wondered if you had any)?
 
The most important aspect of the I-129f (other than showing you are free and able to marry) is proving that you've met one another within the last 2 years from petition date.




No I just sent in lots of pics of us and passport stamps so I guess it's my mistake that the RFE was issued. All photos, passport stamps and flight itinerarys match up. I could only find 2 boarding pass tho as I've never kept them before.

Hi those that know me know that we have had a nightmare with USCIS since July but won't go in to that now as we now have been alerted via Email and text that a RFE was sent out on September 3rd. Our online status also changed to show this so I believe it is been sent this time. Anyway we strongly suspect it is for more proof of meeting so I have included the cover letter below which details all the stuff I could find to send them and would like to know if it is good enough? Also is letters from friend who good jobs such as school principle and working for NASA a good idea as well? Thank you..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRecieved our RFE last night. Here is what it says and what we are sending back. Is it ok?

 
Exactly. That's why I think they don't need a copy of the whole passport. Just the page with the id and owner's information, plus the one with the stamps with the travel I need them to see. They will not use the rest of the pages.
 
 



I sent the pages that had stamps on and the main part (with the picture and signature on) to them and that's it and they accepted that. The RFE was because I didn't include proof of the flights etc to match the stamps. We posted the reply yesterday morning so fingers crossed we don't have much longer to wait.

Hum... I don't quite get it. I don't see how they would confirm that all the copies of the individual pages belong to the same passport. The page numbers wouldn't absolutely connect each page to the same passport. Does USCIS actually requires copies of all pages, or this is just a suggestion? I'd save some paper if possible. Lol
 
Let's say, how would page 17 (that has no stamps or a form of eye readable id) confirm or proof that page 8 (the one with the stamps i need them to see) belongs to my passport. In my case I won't be sending page 17 unless USCIS requires it.
 
Thanks




What they do is match up the dates of the stamps to boarding passes and flight confirmation

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsavg length of k1 ??

2 things you have to check.  The length to be approved at the service center and the wait for an interview.  Check out the listing for your embassy to see the wait.  Sometimes the interview wait can add 4 months to the process.  You are lucky to be from somewhere  where AP is rare after the interview. 

 

CSC says avg of 5 months

 

Dublin

Typical Wait Time (Calendar Days*) for a Nonimmigrant Visa Interview Appointment

Visitors Visas: 18 Days
Student/Exchange Visitors Visas: 18 Days
All Other Nonimmigrant Visas*** (Excludes: A, G, K, and V): 18 Days

Typical Wait Time (Workdays**) for a Nonimmigrant Visa To Be Processed****: 3 Days

 

 

SO I am taking this as 18 and then 3  days ??

 

Is it working days ??

 

 

OMG I hope I am lucky...everyone loves IRISH smile.png. whats one more irish person in the US lol

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAfter 10 months and no NOA 2 *Lost Files*

Omg that is shocking.

Best things is to do it all again and send it asap.

 

If you spend ages on phone trying to solve how it was lost. you may not get anywere.

 

 

I sent off my application on the 21st of july, had my interview in Dublin on the 25th  Nov and was told my k1 was approved.

 

It obscene how you have to wait this long.

 

I truly hope something works out for you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsBirth date mistake by NVC
Called nvc to check on k1 status...I've already check it on ceac website with a case # but nvc said that they can't give me a status update because I'm giving them the wrong birthdate of my fiance(benificiary) which I double check it with the I29f I sent and it's the right birthdate so nvc was saying that they prolly input the wrong birthdate on they're system...now they want me to send my fiancé passport to correct her birtdate....my question is why can't they correct it themselves coZ they're the one who input the wrong date and shouldn't they check my i29f form from uscis which I check it a million times and I am giving them the right birthdate same as the one on i29f.
Alkath27Not TellingPhilippines2013-10-16 03:41:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow long for NVC?

Just FYI:

 

Our NOA2 is also July 10th. I have collected some data from the VJ database and this is what I found:

 

Percentage of cases received by NVC reported as waiting time from NOA2 to NVC:

  7 days :: 28%

14 days :: 71%

21 days :: 92%

28 days :: 96%

35 days :: 98%

 

So by 5 weeks 98% of the people have had their cases received by the NVC, putting us in the bottom 2% of the population. This information is limited though. It is based only on the VJer's from their timelines (643 couples)  so only represents a small portion of all the cases the NVC gets; the data is for NOA2's from April through August, and is only for the CSC (although I believe the VSC and TSC data would be similar). 


Lena&SteveMaleRussia2013-08-08 08:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFrustrated with USCIS - NOA2 approved but not forwarded yet.

We too have NOA2 of July 10th. Nothing at NVC. Lots of success stories on VJ, but actually only 55% of couples with NOA2's the same week as ours have been "received" or logged into the NVC system. It certainly feels like forever though.The unfairness of the system is very frustrating.
