Hey fellow December filers! Happy to see good news from so many! Sorry I disappeared there for a bit - lots of personal stuff pushed visa worries down on the priority table, but now it's back to the game :)

So, I vowed today to not obsesses about things and I came home and took a nap- I didn't even look at Igor's list or anything first. And I slept right through the text from USCIS! rofl.gif

 

I got approved!!!!! I got my NOA2 today!!!! biggrin.png I'm such a bundle of emotions and I'm so happy and excited right now! Thanks to everyone who was so supportive of me heart.gif And good luck to those still waiting!

 

FINALLY! I am so so so happy to read this. Got home from a very long shoot and decided to check this thread just in case you were approved and so happy to see that you were :)

Congrats!!! I'm very happy for you (and a bit jealous too, lol!) Don't forget about me here, still waiting- everyone in my group has had approval or RFE except two people, and I'm one of them. sad.png

 

 

Congrats to everyone else who is getting theirs too! And for the rest of us, may our wait be short! smile.png

 

I am eagerly awaiting your happy news post!

I am wondering if CSC has sent anything out today. (at least from December)  I have checked a HUGE chunk of numbers and not a thing from today, and the numbers that go "unavailable" for about 24 hours before they are approved are still unavailable from yesterday. Which is why I think they may not have updated their system yet today. So don't lose hope!  Remember, I'm still here with you! *hugs* 

 

Hopefully they just haven't updated there systems yet. A couple Fridays ago they didn't until around midnight California time. Fingers crossed

Aww thank you soo much smile.png That cheered me up a bit! Did your number happen to end with 54? Cuz the person right before me just got approved..so maybe Im next! was it you?

I know but like all the dec dates after me are approved sad.png

 

Mine ended in 403 so was not me :/

CONGRATS!! but OMG! You should look at my last post! I JUST said how, like me and you are the only ones left for csc that havent got approved. and ur gonna get it then Im alone..And it happen just a few hours later! Im all alone now! Im getting worried ! Everyone before and after me at csc seems to be approved sad.png(((

 

That is so eerie ohmy.png I am so sure yours must be coming any day now. Not only is it your time, but you've been so incredibly helpful and supportive of everyone here - you deserve it! I know turtlegirl is is feeling the anxiety too as their batch gets processed ahead of them. I'm going to keep my fingers and toes crossed that both of you see yours in the next few days. 


BaBamSamFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-05-17 00:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecember Filers

Congratulations buddy!! So happy for you... you definitely deserve it smile.png good luck on the rest of your journey!

 

Thank you so much! I hope your RFE clears ASAP (I'm sure it will)!



 

Did I predict it or what!? Congrats!!!

 

Out of my group of 21, all but 5 have been approved- and all are approved except 2 RFEs. I am becoming obsessed with checking. Think I need a night out so I don't think about it or something. smile.png

 

You are psychic. Seriously. 

 

I had literally resigned myself to no good news this week (aside from this stuff, had a week of bad news) and it was the farthest thing from my mind as I was stuck in freeway traffic after 14 hours of filming. Apparently not thinking about it worked? IDK.

 

I really hope yours comes through in the next few days - hopefully tomorrow!


BaBamSamFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-05-17 00:09:00

Thanks a bunch! I hope it's all been going well for you!

Congrats!!!

 

I'm going nutso here- the 3 people ahead of me and the person after me got approved today in my batch. Ack!! The suspense is going to kill me!

Same here! I am the second in a batch of 10 (I swore it used to be 8) and everyone in my group has been approved or received and RFE except for me and the person 4 numbers higher than me. It's driving me up a wall.


BaBamSamFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-05-15 11:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecember Filers

 

What do you mean..in your "group"????

 

It's the WAC numbers around me. There are 8 of us with I-129F petitions around my number. 4 of them have RFEs and 4 of us have nothing :(


BaBamSamFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-05-11 13:25:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecember Filers

So there are 8 people in my "group" and half of us have RFEs. Is this a good sign that my time is coming?!


BaBamSamFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-05-10 22:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecember Filers

So happy for everyone getting approved! And for those getting RFEs (though a different less cheerful happiness) as at least you know you're moving along!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecember Filers
Hey December-ers. So I was bored and decided to do some math and see how we're sitting. Basically, I looked at the rate of approvals for the last few days and took a look at how many VJers, according to Igor's list, are ahead of us. I ran the numbers through so, in theory, this applies for people who filed by Dec. 31st.

If we keep up at a rate of 25 approvals per day (it's been more than this, but I want to be conservative even on my optimistic calculations), December will be approved through Dec. 31st in approximately 4 weeks (based on a 5 day work week).

If we slow down and average 10 approvals per day from here on out, we'll be finished in about 9 weeks.

So basically looking at around 1 to 2 months at the current rates. Fingers crossed, eh?


(Remember, these numbers are very likely flawed as it is based on user-supplied data pulled from VJ and very very basic)

Looks like the rest of us December filers will be waiting still. Womp. At least we're in good company.

Oh, elusive NOA2. Finally, you are mine!
I had some kind of psychic feelings it would come... and I got it. (Note: I am not claiming to be psychic, although I do have great timing with regards to knowing exactly when the microwave oven will beep, or an alarm clock will go off... maybe it applies :P )
Strangely, they didn't update my case on the internet, but I received the hard copy today -- it was issued on April 11.


That is so weird! Glad you got it regardless :D

Congrats!

For those who have received the NOA2 recently at CSC:

I'd love to know roughly what time of day the message that your petition was accepted came. That way, I can be less paranoid about checking the USCIS page every ten minutes.

Thanks.


I heard they've been getting them in the evening, but would love that to be confirmed. This crazy thing is making me an anxious wreck!
BaBamSamFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-04-15 16:32:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecember Filers

I checked my application status and it seems that CSC approved 3 people right before me and one more right after me... I also noticed that seems that they touched my application because it says, "On April 13, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)." I am just trying to say that they keep on working on December applications.. Hopefully, I AM SORRY FOR BEING SO SELFISH, I am next to be approved. :dance: :dance:


That sounds SO SO SO promising. My fingers are crossed for you!

Hello again my fellow December filers! Am back from London and a bit sadder to be away from the fiance again - but at least it's much warmer here in Los Angeles? Bright side, yes.

Congrats to all of you who have received your NOA2s. Quite shocking to say the least, but very happy for everyone!

I leave for LAX in 3 hours! Flight isn't until 7:55pm PST, but since it's LA and I have to rely on a shuttle - better to be safe than sorry! Should be in London by 1:35pm GMT tomorrow :D

All these trips!! hehe My fiancee is visiting me in 10 days and staying for almost 3 weeks. It might be our last visit before the K-1 visa. It's our 3rd since October last year.

On other news that may help some of us... as you may or may not have seen on the USCIS website, or on another thread, the CSC is sending DACA cases to the TSC. So maybe they will start playing catch-up like the VSC has been. If we start seeing a rash of NOA-2s from the August guys in the next week or so we can get our hopes up a bit.


Wouldn't it be lovely to see it speed up a bit? Or work at all? :P

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

It is pretty amazing on how fast time is going. I was just saying that 5 or 6 months is nothing compared to forever to my fiancee. I guess it's just frustrating that everytime I am able to see my timeline, the possible adjucating date is pushed back more and more. Oh well, I can sit here and complain, which isn't going to do anygood or I can wait like EVERYBODY else! :) All in the same boat I guess. Hopefully it's just a speedbump and CSC starts picking up a little instead of lagging. Hope all is well with my December friends! Good luck!! :thumbs:




Have a great time Sam!! :dance:


Thanks! I'm super excited to leave in a few days!

I very nearly changed my flight to tomorrow about four hours ago :P The show I'm currently working on is going over to London for the next two weeks and I almost went with them to work it. Just couldn't justify the cost of changing flights to be out of LA for a whole month right now - it's pilot season after all.

Enjoy guys! How i wished that i traveled too when he asked me to go to South Africa, unfortunately they didn't allow me to file a vacation leave at work. He is always busy at work so the best way to be with him is to follow him to countries where he is scheduled for work.
Anyway, have a great time together and have a safe trip... :) good luck to all of us!!!


That's cool that you get to follow him to new places sometimes! The best part about being a freelancer is not having to answer to anyone when I want a holiday. The worst part is never knowing how much money will be made day by day XD

Ya have fun :D have extra fun for all of us who arent able to see our fiance :) maybe it will somehow send strength to us :D


Thank you! Maybe while I'm over there we'll see some progress at CSC and maybe a silver lining.

i received my NOA1 12-6-2012, and im hella stressed even i planned my wedding on 6-28-2013

today when i called the USCIS folks told me that they are still processing 7-18-2012 K1 visa's

and i was like WTH!!!!!!!!!!! my turn will never come

i filed in CSC

any body with ideas please share it


Biggest piece of advice on VJ is not to plan a wedding until the visa is in hand. We are delayed at CSC for at least 6 months. You'll be lucky to have your NOA2 by June an you definitely won't have the visa.

Woho! :D Happy for you! but better pray you do get completely approved in 8 months! the way csc is going and interview dates on embassies, it seems like well be waiting a while :D Not sure about NBC tho. :D


Eh I'm planning I'm not getting approved until October (as in K-1 in hand) so my expectations are low. But the trip in August is just a 2 week vacation for him to come over!

Month two came here quickly! I just wrapped a feature film that destroyed several weeks of month one for me so I guess that helps. Now pre-production for another feature starts in two weeks so hopefully that makes months three and four fly by! Excited to go to London hopefully in April (depending on filming schedule) to see my fiance for a week or two. And my parents just confirmed our Disney vacation dates that my fiance will be joining us for in August! Super excited by that prospect as I haven't been to Disney with my fiance since 2010.

Whose gonna go visit their sweetheart between now and whenever this process ends.
weve been talking about it and we are trying to conserve money but its been 5 months now itll b a year by then......sighss patience patience :)


We're planning a two week holiday-visit in April. We're waiting on work schedules (we both do freelance and he might have a week long thing to justify coming to America then anyway) to decide which country. I'm secretly hoping I get to go back to London this time since I haven't been back since May and he'll be joining my family and I at Disney World in August anyway before he moves over here :P

Yea but like i said regular knitting was not easy for me :(
but on the upside...i loomed out a scarf in no time with that baby!

Really?? haha i may just have to get one..


haha exercise doesnt take up enough time in my opinion! you work out for maybe an hour most tehn what?? you need something that everytime you have nothing to do, you get straight to doing it :P




I am an exercise junkie. Literally when I'm not working (which recently has been 14-16 hours of my day anyway) I am either sleeping or exercising. It's a great way to completely clear the mind and it puts me to sleep easier. Otherwise I just lie in bed worrying about this process and work things.

Yeah I have thrown myself into work for some distraction. Since I work in film I've just booked myself for the next 16 days straight and have just been distracting myself with scripts and such. But it's frustrating because my fiancé is my favorite partner for work!

I also just bought stuff to start learning crochet :P

I'm waiting on ONE w-2 and like 4-5 different tax forms from school loans and 401k accounts so I can file taxes.
Anyone hear anything about delay in refunds???


Ugh taxes. I have to figure out what I'm doing with them as I'm a freelancer that works primarily in cash. Blech.

12/22/12; I-129F Petition sent
12/28/12; NOAI Received
01/01/13; Alien Rgistration Number Change
With the Alien Registration Number Change, does it mean our NOA2 is soon on the way just like some people miraculously had theirs.???? A check on the USCIS website still says its under Initial Review.


Hey there! It seems more likely that the change of alien registration number is either a glitch or just a change in the process of when they assign the number. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's a miracle, just in case :P

Just made December... filed Dec 31st... Still waiting for NOA1... After hearing horror stories of petitions lost in the mail... I'll be a nervous wreck until I get it! :wacko:


Welcome to the December waiting room! I hope you get your hardcopy soon and you're all good :)

"Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS California Service Center for processing." December 31st 2012. Hoping everything goes well and reading the Stats California is faster. Wish me luck, and I hold a Government Job.
