Just wanted to let you know we have finally sent of the visa application to Vermont. Hey Ho at least we are now in the process.

Best of luck to you both!

The waiting process begins now...........the great thing is you have fellow VJ'ers to make it a tad easier.

I'd be yanking my hair out if it wasn't for this place and these great folk.

We should all have a great big get together once we finally get through all this.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSon's father!
QUOTE
hi!

it's me again. i just wanted a bit of advice with regards to my k1 application.

the thing is, i'm of course filing for my young son to be with us in America.

he's four years old and his father and myself were never married, although he has his father's name.

what i need to know is if this will be an issue with regards to my visa?

his father is totally fine and 100% behind me and my partner, and will cause no problems, as we split up over 2 years ago.

will i need some kind of documentation from him stating this when it comes to my interview?

has anyone been in this situation?

any help as always, greatly appreciated!


happy new year!! good.gif

What the heck is going on there at CSC? Not much I can tell you.

I have seen my estimated time go up by almost two weeks mad.gif

Won't anyone from CSC make an announcement? Is there anyone at CSC?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTravelling whilst waiting on the elusive K1
[font="Comic Sans MS"][/font] Hey Guys! Just wanted to let you know of the experience I just went through.
I'm now with my baby in the States. I flew out yesterday and after reading most of the advice on here, I can tell you, I certainly was pooping myself, with regards to whether or not I'd get through immigration.
I decided to go against the advice on here with regards to luggage, and took three of the biggest suitcases ever seen, as I had Christmas gifts and also Birthday gifts to bring over with me unsure.gif
So already i was a bundle of nerves right? Anyway, it was only myself and my little boy (4).
Flight, so on, fine. Got upgraded to Business Class. kicking.gif
The scary part begins from the time they give out them darn immigration forms on the flight! So the panic set in blink.gif
Now I can honestly say, I have never seen such a long long queue in my life, and i'm English! lol!
Anyway by now my son is beginning to whinge, he's tired, etc...... Really didn't help with the nerves.......geez!
So as usual it's like 3 windows for visitors and like 30 for US residents. Blah, Blah! They then decide to get the other windows to take some of us on, so in all we queued for like maybe under an hour.
My turn came up, and I was absolutely cr*pping it now, I can tell you.
I went to the guy who looked like he really really really didn't want to be there, so you know how that made me feel helpsmilie.gif
Anyway, he just asked the usual questions. ....you here to see your partner? how long have you known him? how many times have you been over?
What threw me was when he asked where my son's father was??? I was taken aback, but of course they had to right, as my son has his father's name?
Anyway, i guess it was the nerves, as I responded, ''he's probably doing his girlfriend''! I got a laugh mind. All the time he was stamping my passport and taking fingerprints, so I reckon he just tried to scare. I did take a letter from my son's school ,and a letter from my boss just in case mind!
So in all it wasn't so bad at all! I think reading some of the advice on here just freaks you out a bit more.
Because i'll go back to the luggage issue, it's advised on here not to travel heavy, but i'm not sure for everywhere in the States, but i know for New York and Chicago and Philadelphia you don't have your luggage with you at immigration, you get that after, so they couldn't possibly see how much luggage you do have, if like me, you really try, but just can't travel light!!! A point my SO commented on when he lifted the first case......lol

Anyways for any of you going over there soon and as nervous as I was, I just hope this helps a little bit.
I mean it's only my first proper day here, and i'm nice enough to share this now, instead of when i got home............lol! What am i even doing up already?
I'll be home in two weeks, so i'll fill you in when i get home..........not everything of course!!
Who needs USCIS touches right now? OOOoooh! Not me!!

Have fun guys!!!

Thanks!


Are you the usc or the ben?


USC - what type of info do I need to show ties to the US?

hi there!

you shouldn't have any problems. i'm over with my partner right now and apart from the unusually long line at immigration i had no problems at all. the guy did ask how long i was visiting and how i met my partner, but that was it.

after reading some of the advice on here, i was nervous as heck and was all about to bring just a weekend bag as folk had advised not to take too much, but i took 3 cases for only 2 weeks as i had gifts for the family with me.
immigration dont have to look at your luggage as you go through there before you collect it.

so dont even worry about it. i've been over twice already now.

good luck!

I thought that a touch was when u sign in, and the date on last updated was changed.....

well if thats correct, everytime I have logged on for the last three days the date has changed. Is this normal? What the hell is going on with all the touching?

I've only been touched once and that was way back on 15th November.

I'm starting to worry something is up with ours. It's a pain in the butt. mad.gif

The only reason i've not been pulling my hair out is the fact that i've just spent two fantastic weeks with my baby.

do you think this is the best idea?

at least that way if she changes her mind she can come over when she feels like right? wacko.gif


You can keep her options open for six months by getting the visa at the same time as mom.

You can keep her options open for a year by arranging a "follow to join".

You can't actually cut off her one year option to follow to join. They'll keep it open anyway.


thanks guys!

don't know where i'd be without all of you.

Not to mention that we have two posters in the other thread who have used the trick and they now find themselves in Administrative Review.

An adjudicator can move a file to any desk, you know. And it doesn't have to be the one you are hoping for.

I don't know that we can necessarily correlate the one action (calling the RFE line) to a result (administrative review). That would be a severe abuse of power, and probably a firing offense. I'm sure it occasionally happens, but I have to believe, on the whole, the adjudicators are more professional than that.

oh by the way mox thanks for the support.

and it hs come good for us already. kicking.gif

we were approved today!

we had no intention of abusing that line and i can totally appreciate the frustration folk that have genuine rfe's must be going through.

we left it as long as we could without calling at all.

and i dont want this to turn into another nasty debate like the previous one i read. unsure.gif

I totally agree with you mox.

We only used it last week for the first and only time.

It got to me when we saw folk using it after filing only in January.

We were obviously due around now which is why i guess we got approved so soon after calling.

Thanks for all the advice.

Really appreciated!

All i'm saying is this is the way we called as we were seeing approvals issued for folks that filed way after us.

It is funny though how my SO called for the first time on the 17th of March and we were touched and then again on the 18th of March. Now we have NOA2.

We had not been touched once since October.

So maybe it worked, maybe not. I'm too happy to care right now!

My question is: could anybody explain what's the RFE trick?
Thank you,guys!

Okay this is the posting we followed. It caused alot of controversy on here wacko.gif

But all the same it does work.

The issues raised were mainly because folk were using this trick even though they were nowhere near their processing date. Only use this once it's been say 4 months or more. We did it last week for the only time and it worked for us.

Good luck!

Here is what I did to shake things loose. The keys are to [1] reach a correct person, and [2] speak USCIS's language.

Call 800-375-5283, then hit 1,2,2,4,2,1; enter your receipt number; hit 1,1. (There is no need to wait for all of the recorded options to be read before you hit these buttons.) The recording will almost certainly say that "additional evidence is required," but don't necessarily believe it.

When the phone rings, you should be speaking with an actual Immigration Officer (not a clueless front-line screener who can tell you only what you already know). If the recording said that "additional evidence is required," ask the ImmOff exactly this: "Why does the recording say that I have a Request For Evidence?" He/she will almost certainly tell you that there's no record of an RFE; thank him/her profusely.

Then (or first), ask exactly this: "Will you please tell me exactly where in the Division my file is?" He/she will tell you. Then say exactly this: "I'm aware that several files received after mine have already been approved, and the USCIS website clearly says 'we process applications in the order we receive them.' Will you please send an e-mail to the floor, and ask the person at the ____ station [whatever the ImmOff told you] to please hand-carry the file to the next station?"

The ImmOff will appreciate your "speaking the language," because it is so different from the usual plaintive "do something!" that they hear all day, every day. The e-mail should at least cause one of the processors on the floor to handle your file, and your record on the USCIS Case Status website may soon reflect a "touch."

The procedures that I have recommended are worth it, and you should feel better afterwards. Depending on how long ago you have submitted your application (the longer, the "better"), you can repeat this process every 10 to 14 days.

Do NOT mention that you are part of an on-line community; this is not necessary, and mentioning it could hinder your success. However, feel free to post your stories on VJ!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes your case always get "Touched"
QUOTE (us11857 @ Mar 31 2008, 09:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
So my case has been pending for about 2.5 months and I am getting a little anxious that there has been apparently no action on it whatsoever. I was just wondering, do they alway record "touches" everytime the look at it and have that change of status available on the USCIS website, or is it possible that one day I check and it is just approved with no "Touches" recorded.

We got our NAO1 on January 16, I am planning on going down to Brazil to visit my fiance over the 4th of July and I would love it if she could come back up with me, but I am starting to think that is not going to happen. Oh if I could have only filed in Vermont!!!! crying.gif

Hey there!

If you check my timeline you will see that we were only touched twice and that was the week prior to receiving our NOA2.

Two and a half months is really not a long time to be waiting to be touched. unsure.gif In the USCIS case anyway! biggrin.gif

We got our NOA1 way back in October and were approved just over a week ago, so unfortunately, you may still have quite a long wait with regards to being 'touched'.

Just don't dwell on it. Keep checking the timelines on here, they helped me alot, and watching our case move up and up Igor's list was a blessing.

Hang in there!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 Visa Denied In Lagos

I went through a similar fiasco with my K-1 visa petition of my fiance from Lagos. It is a very bad embassy to work with. We were denied in Nov. of 2011, and have been fighting ever since. By the way- we never received anything that looks like the yellow page you have received. The only reason for denial we were ever given was to print at the top of our petition "FOR IMMIGRATION PURPOSES ONLY" . I contacted my attorney (who helped us file), 2 congressmen, 2 senators, the ombudsman in DC, the USCIS, the NVC, and anyone else we could think of that might be of some influence. No one at the NVC, OR USCIS knew what to tell me. Everytime i would ask a question, I would get a different answer. The embassy in Nigeria would not even answer their phone- it rang and rang- not even a voice mail (I got their number from the State website). Since we were getting no answers, (and were being told that they could not locate our paperwork, and could not therefore get a reopening of our case, or a re-interview,) and the time was quickly approaching that our validity period for USCIS was ending, I made an appointment to visit my local USCIS office in Boise Idaho. I took all of our proof, and information (which was not even looked at, at the interview,) to explain our situation, and ask for an extension of our validity period. I was treated rudely by the officer at the counter, and basically laughed at. He said he had no way to extend the expiration date, and told me I was welcome to get more forms and re-file. I found this sooo frustrating. If the embassy is sure that we are trying to "scam" the system, wont we still be "scamming" if we re-file? and- if we re-file and are approved, does that mean that they were wrong with their first denial, and they will refund our money? We have been together for almost 3 years, and it makes me sick that money is keeping us apart. In the world today, it is very easy to meet someone from another country, shouldn't the laws change to reflect an easier way to be with the one you love?? The system is broken. It needs fixed. I want to fix it, but I don't know where to start. I feel your pain, and I have felt it for many years, it never dies, until you are with the one you love. Best of luck to you, and if you find something that works, let me know.



Couldn't agree with you more!!! This whole system just seems so unfair sometimes, I have found it seems to be one rule for one and quite another for someone else. Also some of their rules just seem ludicrous!!! Feels like your banging your head against a brick wall for a lot of people on here I am sure :(
So sorry your having such troubles to be with your loved one and hope it all works out for you xXx

and to the OP I really hope you manage to get some answers too!! I am so scared about what's going to happen with our own case so I can imagine how upsetting this must be for you and your loved one :(
Try to keep calm and just think methodically I guess cover all base's and keep your faith! <3

I don't get how CR1's are even available since it is fraud to go and marry a partner in any circumstance :/ it seems no matter what way either person enters a any country your not supposed to marry while there :S How is anyone supposed to marry while staying within the law to be able to apply for the CR1?!?!?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDublin POE

Hey fellow VJers!
I have been trying to follow up on past posts about Dublin being a POE but all the info I'm finding is dated back at least 2 years. I was just wondering if anybody has used dublin as a POE recently and wondered how it went for them :)
Have a great day everyone
xXx
