K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2012 Filers

That seems to be the case! Finally got processed yesterday, just before the 6 week mark, so just waiting on an interview date now. Was told It could take up to 3 weeks to schedule an interview date(?!) surely it's just a case of clicking a button on the calendar when they've processed the paperwork? this has to be the least efficient system ever!



Yay!! That sounds crazy to take 3 weeks to pick a date. Hopefully it wont take that long.

Thanks Patty! Yes, I'm pretty bewildered about it all. I lived there for 13 months so maybe they need to do more research. I don't know. We'll see. Pretty bummed out about it right now


I can only imagine. Sooo close and now this. :bonk: I have a feeling they just need a little additional time. Keep us posted! I'll be sending positive thoughts for you.

Well my case is in administrative processing...


Oh no! What happened? I just read your review and it sounds like everything went well. I guess you probably don't know at this time. Hopefully it's not there for long and you receive your visa soon.

My fiance just moved today! POE was painless in Port Huron and only took about 30 minutes.

What a great way to start the new year! The wedding date is set for March 2nd!

Good luck to all those still waiting! :)


Yay! Congratulations!! :dance:

HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone!

11 days until our wedding....eeek! :D

Went back to work today :crying: Left hubby at home alone.


Sucks, doesn't it. I had to go back 2 days after he arrived and have been super busy at work with all the year end stuff. This week is much better and I'm off all of next week :dance:

He went to apply for his SSN yesterday. He had to make a 2nd trip, didn't know he needed his Birth Certificate. Oh well, it was only 10 miles from home and it kept him busy. They said he'll receive his card in 10 days. Now he's studying to get his driver's license. haha

Wedding planning is in full swing. All the things we couldn't do until he was approved now have to be done and quickly. Our friends are throwing us an engagement party this weekend. I still have to pinch myself everyday to know this is real.

And then there is Christmas shopping....ugh. I've barely started and the last thing I want to do right now. Looks like I'll be giving a lot of gift cards this year. haha

Last week of January! He's here for Christmas and I quit my job. I need time to finish work and pack my things and process that I'm leaving my family for good. So relieved! I was a nervous wreck. 2 and a half hours I Waite for the interview. But it's such a great feeling!!!!


I know exactly how that feels. We had to wait about 2 hours and I was a wreck when we finally got called to the window...he was worse than me. lol

A POE date and Christmas together! Congrats again

GUYSSSSSSS I CAN'T BELIEVE MYSELF IT FINALLY HAPPENED AND I GOT ITTTTTTTTTTTT. IT HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO AND I WASN'T EVEN AWARE. I WAS LOSING HOPE TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS JUST NOT CHECKING USCIS ANYMORE. AND I GOT NO EMAILS AND I PUT IN MY RECEIPT NUMBER TODAY AND IT SAID I WAS APPROVED ON DEC. 10TH. I WAS IN SCHOCK. I WAS SERIOUSLY SOO DEPRESSED BUT THANK GOD. GOD IS GREAT.

THANKS SOOOOO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. I COULDN'T HAVE KEPT MY SANITY THROUGH THIS W/O THE SUPPORT OF YOU ALL. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND I WISH YOU ALL ALL THE BEST :) :) :)



I just got mine Dec. 10th after I was losing hope too. I got my congressman involved and two service requests until it finally happened. It's gonna come, no worries! Keep your faith and keep us updated!

I leave on my flight in less than 8 hours!! so in around 18 hours, I'll be in Hawaii, and depending on how long POE actually takes, in his arms shortly after. feeling realllllly overwhelmed, but so ready to go. need to finish packing and have time to sit and breathe for a bit.

here we go!


Woohoo!!! Have a good trip and a great reunion!!!

Did you black out your social security number so no one could read it??


No, I didn't. I figured they already have my SS number from all the other info they had.
sk8rpattyFemaleCanada2012-12-04 20:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2012 Filers

Oh man, Brock, I am so sorry to hear about all this. You've got people on here to support you and just keep getting strength those around you.


Ditto

You said your receipt number was WAC and a total of 13 characters. Were the other 10 numbers? I'm wondering if she wrote the number incorrectly? I would have her focus on getting this piece straightened out. Not having the correct number is going to make it much more difficult to track down other information. It would be great if you could at least check your status on the USCIS web site. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2012 Filers

Thank you that helps a lot! One more question though, on the I134 form I put how much is down in my savings account, do I have to have a bank statement that supports that? or no?


If you are earning enough money, you don't need to list anything for your savings. I was told by someone else here, if you put it on the form, you need to bring evidence supporting it. This is why I left everything blank except for my income.
sk8rpattyFemaleCanada2012-12-04 18:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2012 Filers

ok guys I need some help about the Affidivit of Support. I have the I134 form and pay stubs. but do I also need some kind of letter from my bank?? Please help.


I provided my tax transcripts for 3 years, a letter from my employer and about 5 recent pay stubs. Since I was well above the poverty line I did not include any other information (bank statements, home info, etc) This was sufficient for my case.

Sweetdelish is sooo close now!

Ah yes, calling the NVC....they must train them to be that grumpy and rude. I had the same experience every time I called.

Jordan said they were grumpy and somewhat rude at his POE, but it didn't matter. His flight was delayed almost an hour so I was going crazy on Saturday. But our moment finally came. We made quite a scene at the airport when he ran down the escalator and into my arms. Pinkrlion, you are right, it is the greatest feeling.

It was so hard to go to work this morning....hurry up Friday!
sk8rpattyFemaleCanada2012-12-03 12:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2012 Filers
Today is the day!!

It was almost 7 months ago when Jordan was told he could no longer visit the US, because he was engaged and the first day we learned what a K-1 visa was. We had no clue. Those were some dark days. Then we discovered Visa Journey and started on the path. Now here we are today....

At this moment he's probably standing in the same area at the Vancouver airport with a K-1 Visa in his hand ready to come home!!

He'll be arriving at the OC Airport this afternoon!!! :dance:

Keep the faith everyone...your day will come, I promise!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2012 Filers

I received an email today from the Sydney consulate to tell me that my visa has been issued!! Which means its in the post tonight, should arrive tomorrow.

Perfect timing!

Was starting to panic just one last time for good measure. :lol:


WooHoo! What are we going to do when there is nothing to stress over, wait for or panic about?? :lol:

Jordan is going crazy, waiting to book his flight. They told us he should be able to pick it up Thur or Fri, but there is a small chance he may have to wait until Monday so he can't book anything. Ugh! He's checking his email constantly and I'm checking the CSC site contantly. We're pathetic! (where's that little "staring at the clock smiley"??)

This is the other half of Kassil&Tierce, the Portuguese petitioner.

While the Paris bit was an unexpected and rather unpleasant surprise (I live in walking distance of the US embassy here! Come on!


Great to hear from the other half!

That has to be very frustrating, especially with it being sooo close to you. Sounds like you have a great attitude about it though. I'm sure a positve outcome from your interview will help to improve his opinion of the city. LOL At least you'll be together there! Hope you hear something soon.

Makes me so happy to see one more person successfully making it through this stage! Very happy for you :D


Thanks! I feel bad for those still waiting, but it always gave me hope to read about other approvals so I decided to post mine. I hope it helps in some way.

I see you just got your NOA2 hard copy...things will go quickly from this point on...until you get your interview scheduled and have to wait for that. It was almost as hard as waiting for NOA2...almost. Hang in there, your time will come soon!

I just got home an hour ago. Last time I'll be coming home to an empty house. When I said good-bye today I was almost laughing...no tears this time! I still wish I could have stayed and traveled with him. I would have loved to be at the POE with him but I had to get back to work. Need to save a few days off for the wedding!

haha It's not 100% sure yet, but they told us 3-5 days and that we can pretty much count on that it will be ready for pick up at Loomis before Friday.

Waiting to hear from SK8rPatty :clock: This is more nerve racking than my own interview.


Haha! Couldn't possibly be.

The intereview was only 10 minutes if that, but we had to wait almost 2 hours to get to that point. I was a nervous wreck by the time we got to the window. He only asked us about 3 questions, how did we meet, what did we do for a living and why did we want to get married. He didn't ask to see a singe piece of evidence! I must have had 10 pounds of it ready...lol

Oh, and we were complimented on how organized we were...thanks Visa Journey!

We're soooo happy and soooo relieved.

I've been enjoying my visit here in BC. I've been meeting more of my fiance's relatives and just relaxing. Less than 24 hours to go for us. :o We have everything ready to go and feel confident with our package. I just want it to be over with. I'm tired of thinking about every little thing that could possibly go wrong.

Jordan completed his contract and is leaving the ship this morning. :dance: He will fly back to Canada today and I will fly up to join him tomorrow night. I'm so excited!!!
Tuesday is his medical and then his interview will be the following Monday! So close now. I didn't think we'd ever get here. I know we still have a big hurdle to get over but after tomorrow we wait together!

I'll be checking in here from Canada. I hope the approvals keep rolling in here! I really enjoy typing "Congratulations" for everyone and cannot wait for the day one is typed for our Visa approval!!

I'm with you, I don't like winter either.

30 days, woohoo! My date is one month after yours (if all goes well) 1/12/13. I'm stressing with all the planning too, that and an interview in 2 weeks :o It's tough having to have a contingency plan in case something doesn't go right at the interview. Good luck with the final planning!

I wen ahead and booked my medical. Good job I did as there are only a few appointment left for this year!! If anyone from Ireland is looking around these forums, you have to ring the office of Tom gleeson at the black rock clinic at 01 288 0111 for the medical. It's a hefty 395 euros due to the crippling governments inability to offer healthcare at a fair price.

Keeping my fingers crossed for all the may filers still waiting for the NOA2!!
