Well after 2 touches in January we really thought that we'd get our approval...BUT... we've officially been told by our lawyer who contacted the USCIS that we are in security checks!

I'm so upset I dont know what to do! To think that our wedding was originally booked for 12st Feb. That's just impossible now. crying.gif


I'm sorry.. But it will come soon, just hang on in there! And once it does, it'll go so fast you'll be there before you know it! Good luck!

Well, I just checked the USCIS website & we got a touch yesterday! oooh could our NA02 be coming soon? We have our fingers & toes crossed!! star_smile.gif



That would be awesome news!! I am crossing all that I have ;-)



Thanks, it would be the best news! I bet you are sooooo relieved now you have yours. good.gif


This could be it! Good luck! Here's hoping! I feel like it moves really fast from approval. I'm just about to mail back packet 3, so fingers crossed this is it and the next bit will be so easy!!!

Yeh I agree, I can't bear to hear about these later filers gettin approved before us! We MUST all be stuck in security checks, it's the only possible explanation. Fingers crossed for our approvals this month. wacko.gif



It'll come! I'm still hoping for you all! Here's to 2009 being a better year for all of your approvals!



Thanks. Hey i noticed your petition left NVC same day! wow. hope ours does that when we eventually get our NA02!! You'll be excited about the interview now. Good luck with that. star_smile.gif


Thanks! WE got our packet 3 today! Hopefully we'll be through with this soon and i'm sure you'll be close behind!!! Hang in there, it's worth it!!

Hi Guys...I've not been on here in a while. I've been depressed as I had to return to UK after using my 90 days on the visa waiver. We were so hoping to hear somethin by the time I came back but nope...nada! I've never heard of info pass either, we need to check it out asap.

Congrats Zoe & Hal on your touch..this must be it for you. Fingers crossed.

So sorry to hear about you Emma. I know you were so looking forward to your trip. It may have been the stress of what to pack that did it! lol



Thanks! We're really hoping it is! I'll let you know as soon as we hear anything - or nothing....

I mean Nov 13 is long time ago. Our officer probably just went on vacation or has some serious illness while the files lay on his/her desk. huh.gif

If you want to find out what's going on I would definitely recommend going to an infopass!!!
I mean I cannot assure you that they will give you information but they for sure at least CAN (not like the call center people). They can see whether your case is stuck somewhere or not.
You can make an appointment online really easy for like a few days in advance.


I've never heard of that, glad you've finally heard something!
Emma, hope you're feeling better! that's awful! Hope you make it to the states soon!

hi all!

after 6 months, i got a touch and an rfe!
i don't know if i should be sad about it but at least i knew that they are working on our case.

i just wonder what could it be? we are yet to receive the hard copy.

how long does it usually take to get the letter from them?

waiting...waiting...waiting...


Shouldn't take too long. We got ours on a Wednesday and we had the letter the following Tuesday, although it seemed an age at the time... It only took a couple of days to put together though and is now back on it's way to CSC... Hopefully they'll get started on it soon! Good luck!

Zoe, what do you mean by "we had our RFE back"?


As in they sent it to us... I found out it was due from the website so we were just waiting to receive it. Sounds like they lost all our stuff as we sent in everything they asked for... We're waiting to send it back til the day after thanksgiving as we don't want it to get lost if there's no one there to sign for it... I'm hoping they'll open it as soon as it's received, I'll let you know...


Panterchen - don't take this the wrong way, but I really hope you don't get to join our club unsure.gif

I'm glad in a way that there are still some of us 6 months+ still out there to encourage each other. The thought that we could be in a separate pile on a desk really, really winds me up! To me our case is straight forward. No kids, no previous divorce, I'm from uk (which I didn't think was a high risk country!) #######!!! I have to keep telling myself to chill out!

But then I think of Sara. This is so awful for you & I will be thinking of you this weekend. Please don't worry too much. I can't imagine what you're going through, except that you must've gone totally grey by now.

Emma...hope you've stopped hyperventilating about immigration when you visit soon? LOL you're funny...you will be fine chick. good.gif



Sara, don't panic! You haven't heard anything yet so work on the no news is good news theory! There's no point getting stressed about it when there's absolutely nothing you can do until you've spoken to him.... Please don't worry too much this weekend!

Emma, no word on the RFE yet, still waiting for the lawyer to get back to us with details. When I spoke to him Thursday, he thought that we'd need to provide more evidence of our relationship. We've already sent in photos, passport copies of the stamps for our visits, phone bills, plane tickets... Other than our names signed in blood, I really can't imagine what they'd want from us..... Just got to wait I guess until we get the letter... I'm getting good at waiting..... It seems to be all I do.....



HEY ZOE star_smile.gif I Woudnt worry if you included all that evidence! I WOuld say you sound pretty much covered in that area. I got told it could be something simple as not putting N/A on a question! I think yours will be something silly like that! Hmmm but maybe you should start drawING out the blood just incase! hahaha! I cant believe they havnt got back to us as yet! I mean come on it should go straight back to the person who asked for the RFE so they can hurry up and get on with it! I think im going to go for a job there and set them all straight! Talk about FRUSTRATIONNNNNNNNNN! ARRRHHH! lol

I'm feeling really positive today. I've decided we're all going to be approved VERY soon! (Admittedly we have an RFE to fill out so it may take us a little longer) but I think we'll all be done by the end of the year.... It's not that long away! kicking.gif

RFE? Oh well, they will send you what exactly they need from you guys. I wouldn't worry. Sometimes it is just a missing photograph (that they might have lost) or some form filled out wrong. Give them what they need and you will be approved very soon thereafter!! At least your case is in process now. Congrats!


It's just a bit of a kick in the teeth.. We've waited so long to get this far, way longer than the average filing time and then they come back with this. We sent everything, photos, plane tickets, ring reciept, passport copies. We had a lawyer sort out our forms (big mistake) so I just don't know what on earth they could want.....
I'm sorry to moan, I know some people have waited way longer than us, I'm just really shocked that they could want anything else from us.... At least it looks like they've made it on to us May filers still waiting - they must've been sitting in a box somewhere all together so I'm sure the approvals will now start rolling in...



HEY ZOE AND HAL.... i know exactly how you feel! i AM MAY 20TH FILER! I received an RFE OCTB 1OTH .... SENT IT OFF pretty much straight away and sTILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK from them. IF THEY GOT IT AND what the VERDICT IS! I thought i would of heard back sooner but no word as yet. from me they wanted pictures with dates on them. But i never included any pictures in the application. So now waiting and waiting..doin my head in:(


I can't believe it's taking that long! I thought it'd be pretty quick once they get the stuff they want. I just don't know what on earth it could be! I'm so mad at our lawyer right now! If I'd have had his phone number, he'd of been getting a nice wake-up call from me this morning! I can't believe you're still waiting! Maybe it's been sitting in the box with all of ours so they'll get to it tonight! I hope you get approved soon!

I know I really shouldn't be complaining as we've been a lot quicker than you but I just wasn't expecting this! I had big plans to be with Hal by my birthday, then I pushed it back til christmas and then I was thinking by his 30th birthday... But none of them are happening and it's just upsetting me today... Tomorrow will be better!

RFE? Oh well, they will send you what exactly they need from you guys. I wouldn't worry. Sometimes it is just a missing photograph (that they might have lost) or some form filled out wrong. Give them what they need and you will be approved very soon thereafter!! At least your case is in process now. Congrats!


It's just a bit of a kick in the teeth.. We've waited so long to get this far, way longer than the average filing time and then they come back with this. We sent everything, photos, plane tickets, ring reciept, passport copies. We had a lawyer sort out our forms (big mistake) so I just don't know what on earth they could want.....
I'm sorry to moan, I know some people have waited way longer than us, I'm just really shocked that they could want anything else from us.... At least it looks like they've made it on to us May filers still waiting - they must've been sitting in a box somewhere all together so I'm sure the approvals will now start rolling in...



HEY ZOE AND HAL.... i know exactly how you feel! i AM MAY 20TH FILER! I received an RFE OCTB 1OTH .... SENT IT OFF pretty much straight away and sTILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK from them. IF THEY GOT IT AND what the VERDICT IS! I thought i would of heard back sooner but no word as yet. from me they wanted pictures with dates on them. But i never included any pictures in the application. So now waiting and waiting..doin my head in:(


I can't believe it's taking that long! I thought it'd be pretty quick once they get the stuff they want. I just don't know what on earth it could be! I'm so mad at our lawyer right now!

except i dont know how to tell them that i dont like turkey haha! is this a problem???


YOU SHOULD BE BURNED AT THE STAKE FOR SAYING THAT!!!... but on the positive side it's very likely there will be a wide variety of foods not made of turkey and possibly even an alternate meat of some kind, just say no thanks to anything you don't want to eat, you are unlikely to starve on thanksgiving. You'll probably get a strange look from most people for not liking turkey but there was bound to be at least one person in the world who wouldn't like it. The alternate is to ask for just a small piece instead of turning it down... then the shame of disliking turkey can remain a secret, and, you can try a little, you might find that the turkey you had in the past just wasn't prepared the same way and may like it (that seems unlikely but if all you've ever eaten was processed "turkey" which is so salted it might as well be ham... it's not the same).


Just go with the pumpkin fluff.. WAY better than the turkey ....



im scared to ask what the pumkin fluff is??? lol! dont get to further without being warned I AM GULLABLE ! haha! blush.gif


Pumpkin and marshmallow.... THE best!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportspacket 3
Hey everyone!!!
ive been slightly off the boil, myself and my fiancee split up a couple of months ago (the stress of this whole thing and not seeing each other for so damn long)...but now everything is back on track and im trying to sort through and salvage our documentation.
my question (probably first of many) is this.....
i received a letter in march from the embassy in london saying our visa petition had been approved and gave me my case number and 2 web links regarding putting together our documents for interview and then my medical. i am assuming this is my packet 3 but was actually expecting a larger envelope with all my relevant documents enclosed and ready to fill in....
ive looked on the link which takes me to the london embassy page and have filled and printed my:
ds 230
ds 156
ds 156k
iv-15k

i am waiting for my police report to come back to me but am actually really confused about what and when to send things...do i send my ds 230 straight away on its own as implied on their web site?

please help!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsmost difficult part of the whole process
QUOTE (S.IS.Hwang @ May 28 2009, 11:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I think the most difficult part of the journey is really being apart from your loved ones... the separation and long distance relationship is a lot more difficult than I have imagined. Taking this step to go through with the k1 visa processing takes courage... as one party probably never lived in US before. Its all a learning process ... and once he comes here, there we are with the AOS process... but at least by then, we are together everyday.

you are so right...the process is long and hard! it actually shook us for a couple of months as it is so difficult being apart!
Congratulations on getting your visa! you will be together soon! kicking.gif

DOS is who you can call to see if your interview date has been assigned.

It took London just 2 weeks to issue packet 4 for us. Maybe you have an interview date set already. Don't bother to try to get the London Embassy to respond to mere "status" inquiries. They usually don't.


Thanks so much....i will get the boy onto it asap!!!

QUOTE (Justchillin @ Jun 23 2009, 03:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
NVC don't set the interview date, the embassy does that and updates the system. I think your interview date depends on the marriage or departure date you gave in the forms sent to them. You can write a letter to the London Embassy about your change of mind and the wish to bring your interview date forward. I stand to be corrected though but I think that is how it works. All the best.


thanks for your reply, yes it may be worth writing a letter for sure, i understand the embassy sets the interview dates but was told that the dates can be viewed on nvc's system before actually receiving the letter.... blink.gif

....so i mailed off my checklist a few weeks ago and im waiting for my interview date to come through....
however...i found a super cheap flight today for the 21st aug, a couple of weeks before the date i put on my paperwork that i plan to fly out....
im dying to book it, however want to make double sure i get my interview within good time of me leaving...
hoping our date is in the system and the appointment letter is sloooowly on the way my fiance called the nvc on 603 334 0700 giving our lnd number and was told that it is nothing to do with them there and we are to call the london embassy...
