K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny May CSC still waiting for NOA-2?
We're still waiting too... Got our lawyer to call a couple of days ago... He's a bit clueless but apparently they said we should be hearing in the next week or two.... I hope he's right!!! Hopefully that means you'll be hearing something too very soon!

Hi, I am new to this forum though I did use the forms when filing (very helpful!) good.gif Our package was recieved by the Vermont Service Centre on the 21st of April- from what I understand they should have already sent my American fiance a letter saying they have recieved the package? And thats the first noticfe- or...does it take longer and its actual approval of the case that we are waiting for? (I searched the archives but couldn't find anything answering this) So is there an average wait time? And should I call to follow things up?
Gawd its taking too long already- kudos to all of you going through the same heartache!




ur noa1 is the receipt number that is on the back of ur check and they do send the person who is usa citizen or attorney if u used one the receipt that is call the noa1 after u receive that u can put that number on line and check ur case on and off to see if they have updated it....u should receive that first receipt number with in a month most receive it in a few days to a week but it can take up to a month


Thanks, that was a very helpful response- I'll wait up to a month before freaking out smile.gif

Congrats on filing your paperwork. In order to help out with any questions you will have during this process it is always helpful if you fill in your timeline otherwise people have to ask for details in order to best help you out. The notice your fiancee rec'd should say what kind of notice it is, likely the NOA1(I think is says I-797C). It is a process and if you search in the timelines for the country you live in that might give you an idea of how long the process is taking. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.


Hi- thanks for your reply! star_smile.gif It is the first NOA, and I live in the UK and he lives in the States. So- who recieves the notice- him or me? I just want to know that the package is ok and they dont need more info etc!! The ordinary wait is long enough sad.gif

Does anyone know how long it takes to get your NOA2 in Vermont???



yeh, as long as they want it to take, all depends on name checks, whats else is going on that day in office, who picks up your file, if they give you a RFE.
we be waiting 4months now and no one even touched it as of yet, so who knows
if you fill in your time line, it will give you an estimated date but you never know , but good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRFE again!!!
QUOTE (tbouch @ Oct 16 2008, 09:36 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
At this point, I would be turning cart wheels for an RFE. My NOA 1 date was May 23 and I haven't heard a thing.



i would be even glad of a touch at least they doing something better than nothing, a RFE yeh like yourself be over the noon as at least you know that be on someones desk waiting for your replys
better than still in the bottom of a box where i know mine is and i have a feeling mine is going to be there for a few more weeks as i am never that lucky to get anything quick, anyway, do not give up hope hang in there

Okay...So after filing for our 129f and sending it off on May 28/08. We received out noa1 on June 6th/08. We were touched July 9th. Since then, nothing. I was hopelessly waiting and then finally, we get a touch Oct 14 which was AMAZING! But then we get one, on the 15th, and now again today [16th]. I know touches are supposed to be a good thing but are too many not a good thing??? Please let me know unsure.gif

good luck hope it is your approval today , we got about about same time line but no touched our way since june,

Vermont seems much more inconsistent than California--our center may take longer, but at least they have reasonably consistent approval times (most April filers are approved around the same time, then most May, etc.). While there's a fair bit of overlap, you don't have random September or late June approvals while a ton of April and May people are still waiting. That has to be REALLY frustrating for Vermont filers.



True, so how long do u think WE have to wait Villa?


I'm thinking we're going to start seeing June 15-ish dates next week, then later June starting the week after. So anywhere from two weeks to a month--that's what I'm betting! What do you think?



so what about me and fillers at the start of june, some got, others not, seem they do a few and then skip rest of that month go onto next month , just to make themsleves look good this very hard to see others after you getting approvals,

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsany updates with June filers?
hi all
we filled end of May 08 and got NOA1 on june 5th 08 and still not heard, so hoping by end of this month it happens for us too. this waiting is worse than ever as the days tick down, but you know what the saying is everything goods comes to those who wait............... good.gif and everyday is one less......... i love reading everyones comments and stories, so good luck to all, just try to stay happy and your that day will come

I'm starting to really hate you september VSC filers, with your ridiculously fast noa2's! This is the second time for september someone has gotten a noa2 really fast without an expedite (that I know of anyway). There has to be something screwy going on with how they are processing applications, possibly even a change. Could they have hired a bunch of new, temp people to handle the incoming petitions while the backlog is being caught up or something?

I'll go ahead and admit I'm just jealous, not that it's obvious or anything... I'll be happy to be one of the normal ones who only have to wait about 5 months and not get stuck in some FBI name check for a year and a half...



Sorry, I do feel your pain! But good news I did get the NOA 2 hardcopy! So it's official!



wow! kicking.gif congrats and i'm so happy for you!

congrats on your NOA2 hard copy,it's official yes!!


i am happy for your appoval but to us still waiting months it seems fo unfair,
and i know that i shall be making my views known to the USICS in a very strong letter of complaint first thing monday morning,

Philippinesremeaning days in pinas is being deffecult!!!!!!
I am going through the same thing
My mother is 84 years old, my father died 18 years ago and I am an only child
It is the hardest decision I have ever made to apply for the K1 and leave my mother, thank god her health is very good for her age and she can get about
She has a great network of friends so will not be on her own
However I will never get over the guilt of leaving her when I go, she wants my happiness and wants me to go but leaving will be the hardest thing I will ever do
So I can understand what you are feeling, I will live with this guilt for the rest of my life and will be scared that when I go I may never see her again.
I hope that I will get advance parole and will be able to visit

Some things come at a price and this is the price we have to pay for our happiness in out new lives it is a bitter pill to swallow, this is not easy
