Thank you all so much! Good luck to everyone! I am going to update my timeline ASAP :)
My advice is to contact your senator....my senator's aid called in Monday and they approved my K-1 two days later. I also got a call back from the senators office telling me that they approved our case! I know everyone's senator is different but it is worth a try!
My congressman sent a letter out and I think that didn't help much. Having my senator actually CALL is what did the trick!
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE and thank you all for the kind words and help! <3

Just wanted to let everyone know I got my approval from CSC today! I AM SOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!! I have been waiting for a little less than 9 months. Our NOA1 date was July 24.
I literally cried my eyes out when I got the text. (tears of joy).

I am completely convinced that this approval would't have come for a few more months if I didn't contact my senator. A few hours after my approval the senate's office called me to tell me that they contacted CSC on Monday and that my case was approved today. My advice to everyone, CONTACT YOUR SENATOR. It doesn't hurt to try. SO SO HAPPY!!!!!!! Good luck to everyone! <3 :dance: :dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresReceived RFE!

We got notified through email and on the USCIS website saying that an RFE got sent out today.
We filed July 27, so at least we now know that our case has indeed been touched!!
Does this mean that this will kick things into high gear? And once we reply to the RFE that things will start rolling?!
My fiance and I both got quite excited mainly because we now know that they are indeed moving along!


I filed July 24 and have heard nothing yet :( This is ridiculous! Do they let you know what the RFE is for or you find this out when your letter comes in the mail? I'm so nervous =/

We are US citizens and can come and go as we please.

They have e-mailed this text to me today (4-Aug-2014). This time I liked their e-mail.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Our record indicates that this case is in its final processing/review.  Please feel free to check back with our office after 4 weeks.

Sincerely,
Immigrant Visa Unit

Asia: SouthAP again after READY
They called me on 11-June and said "send us your passport as soon as possible so that we can issue you visa, also send us fresh medical, and visa photographs and fill the DS-160 form online as early as you can".
I was in Abu-Dhabi and Karachi Airport condition was critical. That's why I reached Karachi on 1-Jul. and sent passport and visa photographs on 1-July and Medical takes time that's why I sent it later on 9-Jul. And I already filled and submitted DS-160 form online in June (when I was in abu-dhabi).
Now after 6-June they updated the status date of my case again in 18-July. Means they have received my all documents.
Now I am waiting for their next action. As they already confirmed me in 11-June about issuing visa.
Fingers crossed

They have changed the "status updated date" of my case yesterday on 06-June-2014.

i also got same email reply today

 

Ohhh..

Last year before interview, Embassy asked me for medical and I did it on 7-March-2013. and I submitted that in interview on 19-March-2013.
It is 5-May-2014 (more than a year) today and they didn't ask for medical again.

Should I ask them? or They forgot? or they don't need further medical?
please let me know about it.

Huhh... :D .. I have now reached to Karachi after 2 months tour in UAE with my fiance.. and I have sent my passport back to U.S Embassy Islamabad also.

 

This is the reply of embassy after receiving passport.

 

FYI

 

Thank you for your email.

 

As per our available record, Mr.    ?s visa case is still part of an integral administrative processing, that can neither be waived nor expedited. Though, we certainly understand the importance of family reunion, and also aware about the frustration often caused by the delay.

 

Unfortunately, we are unable to predict the amount of time this process will require. However, it is imperative to mention that as soon as this process is concluded, we will move forward regarding this case, and will make contact accordingly.

 

Sincerely,

IV Unit, Consular Section,

U.S. Embassy, Islamabad.

They didn't even send me my passport. i don't know whether they are lazy or they really have loads of work and shortage of Man-Power.

I've studied a non-immigrant visa case of an unknown friend.

 

SEQUENCE # 803

CASE CREATION DATE: 29-OCT-2012

CASE # ISL2012 803 019

CASE READY 'TO ISSUE' ON: 28-OCT-2013

VISA ISSUED ON: 31-DEC-2013

 

In the above case, the visa issued 2 MONTHS AFTER 'READY' AND 14 MONTHS AFTER CREATION.

 

My case was created on 28-Nov-2012 and the current month "January-2014" is my 14th month after creation.

as well as, the 3 months also passed after 'READY'.

So, I'm hoping for the good news in this month.

Let see what happens. Fingers crossed :)

On 30-Sep-2013 Case Status: READY

I have found something strange in my case.
I have checked other applicant's case status in the same line order of my case number
from case # ISL2012XXXX01 TO ISL2012XXXX20.
 
4 CASES ARE ISSUED.
2 CASES ARE READY.
6 CASES ON ADMIN PROCESS (same like I have been through for 6½ months).
 
*- But case creation date of all the other cases are same "28-Nov-2012".
but my case creation date has changed to 30-Sep-2013. WHY?
 
*- and case status heading of all the other cases are same "IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION"
but my case status heading has changed to "NON-IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION". WHY?
 
I don't know what's going on with my case. This is completely strange.
 
Can you provide guidelines?
