Hey!
I just wanna told you guys that we have appointment for interview on 5 Nov 2008. It's very fast and I'm gonna be with Paul soon. Soooooooo happy


Wow! So fast. What is your secret?

I don't have any secret. Just track our case from DHL and e-mail to the US embassy in thailand asking for our case. After 1 day, They reply me back that they got our case and already send me Packet3 then I just send them a new version of Packet3(This one you have to send all document except your prove of relationship back to them). After that I just e-mail them to ask do they got our return Packet3 yet? They said YES and already make appointment for me on 5 NOV 2008 at 8.00am. That was great!!!!!



oh i wish it was that easy to set an appointment for interview here in the Philippines, we got approved last october 9th and we called the US Embassy Manila four times already, and they said they have our papers, but they cant give us an interview schedule yet, they said they are still "reviewing" our papers which is just ridiculous,

anyway, congratulations to you and good luck on your interview smile.gif

Thank you and don't give up. Keep e-mail or asking them and they will give you an appointment soon. Good luck for you guys too.

That's great, but you managed to get processed at USCIS two months before anyone else!!

I don't know you guys know this or not but in Thailand US embassy change their Packet3 Checklist. Thay need us to send all document ( I-134 , Police cer., etc) back to them before they set your interview date. Good thing that my Fiance sent all the paper to me already before I got Packet3 from embassy. So I just send it back to them and no need to wait for anything else. That's why they can give me earier appointment for interview.

Hello, thanks for asking....

well things are moving faster, my fiance received her information from the Embassy. It's confusing though. I read on the website, what papers she will get and what she needs to bring and turn in, and the site and instrustions in her packet are different. For one.. they sent her all instrustions in English, she is not 100% fluent in English,so there is a lot of translations over emails back and forth from me and her. The website said she would receive I-134, hospital paper work, police report paper work, and a list of things to bring with her, such as her passport and I.D. and police paperwork and I-134. Well I already sent her the completed I-134 a few weeks before, so I'm not worried about that, but there is paperwork she need to complete and bring to the interview that the website says nothing about. it says she needs to go to a computer and download and fill out DS-156, DS-156(K) DS-157, DS-2000. by looking at some of the document, I'm not sure she needs them, the DS-157 says: Required for all male applicants aged 16 to 45 and all applicants over age 16, male or female, who are citizens of or born in Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, or Syria. she is Femal from Japan only. but the instructions say to bring it so better be safe than sorry. She also received the DS-230 part 1, and she filled it out, but there is a part 2 also, that did not come with the packet, and the packet does not explain if she gets that when she arrives for the interview. Just some confusing stuff. I'm sure we will work through it. headbonk.gif

Are you keeoing yourself busy??? That is the worse thing..... not staying busy and waiting for all this to end.. good luck


Hey!! I would say only the thing that I know. She have to filled the form DS-156 (online only coz she need to have bar code) , DS-156(K) , DS-230 only part 1 if you guys apply for K1 Visa ( Coz part 2 is something for K3...I think) and you have to send your Tax return year 2006,2007,2008 too (anything else I don't know.....coz I'm still waiting for NOA2 too). I just only know few things coz I make a reserch of that.
Sorry for my english is not that good. Hope you guys good luck on your journey

WABADABADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

After 4 touches in a row and no email, we actually had been approved on 10/05 after 153 days since filing (NOA1 from CSC, filed directly, on 05/29). I just found that out in opening my snail mail tonight coming back from work.

I am happy to leave this forum (actively at least) and heading to the NVC one...

Good luck everybody.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMISTAKES! HELP!
QUOTE (KimandRuss @ Jan 12 2009, 01:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You need to file for an extension with the Embassy because your I-797 (noa2) has a validity of only 4 months.

An Embassy will often extend it automatically if the delay is their doing but in this case they are requesting you simply send a letter stating that you are requesting one. I'm not sure that 'until I can afford to bring him here' is a valid argument tho. sad.gif

Is it possible that he can be interviewed within the time frame and the visa put on hold until you can provide what they are asking?


I'm really not sure. I have faxed and emailed them and heard nothing. We're thinking of sending in the checklist now and asking them to interview him after the end of the month after the no2a expires...not sure now if we should ask that because I have 2 communications out to them about me not having met the min. income. So, it sounds a bit sketchy if I'm sending in the checklist now with a request to extend.

Thats quite a pickle you're in.

  • Have you always had 'just' the part time position?
  • Is this a new/temporary development?
  • How will an extension help?


Ever since my divorce 4 years ago, yes, I have only been able to find part-time work- partially on purpose so I can do art full-time, but never expected to meet someone and do a visa process. But now as this thing is getting near the end, things are starting to look promising for ft work and time is not on my side. I'm hoping the extension will give me time to show I now have a full time job and can fill out the affidavit of support and he can get approved at the interview.
MyUKLoveFemaleWales2009-01-12 15:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMISTAKES! HELP!
Please help and advise me what we can do. We've got all the paperwork ready except for the I-134 (affidavit of support) and I've got only a part-time job which doesn't meet the minimum income requirements. Our visa petition is set to expire 2-5-09 and so I haven't sent my fiance the form yet and he hasn't sent in the checklist. Now the consulate in London is telling us that he has to have the interview before it expires 2-5-09 or we have to start all over again. Also, if we wanted to extend it we need to ask an attorney to send a notarized letter which states from me that I intend on marrying my fiance within 90 days of his arrival. That's a given. But what does it have to do with extending the process to allow for time for me getting a job. Are we doomed? I told my fiance, let's just send in the checklist now. I don't have anyone to co-sponsor me. So that's out of the question. My IRA has been cut into a third because of the economic disaster and so that doesn't prove I can take care of him either. What should I do?

Please help!

CDRRCk24-- In order to find out if NVC as received your case this is what you have to do:

- Call 603-334-0700 (Yes, lines may be busy, please keep redialing until you get through)
- Press 1 and then press 5 TO SPEAK TO A LIVE PERSON, it is important that you speak to a live person.

Then you give them your NOA #1 Receipt # for your i129F petition. IF your case is received, he/she will verify the beneficiary & petitioner's name and date of birth.

You will then be given a new case #, starting with the embassy initial. You use that case number from here on.

Let me know if you have any questions.



Awesome thank you, it has not been received yet but I will call next week. Rick

But when you get it, the wait didn't really seam that long and after that it is all down hill and moves pretty quick from there.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK-1 Visa approved in Havana!!!
To all Cuban VJ'rs:

After much wait and drama, we got our visa approved today!!!!
I was unable to make it to the inteview, so my fiancee had to go it alone...I just called her and she was just screaming with joy....! We talked for hours and are just planning to arrange her arrival here in Los Angeles as soon as possible (just have to deal with the cuban exit process now..)
This whole agonizing process (and specially for those us dealing with the political situation between the two countries...) really tests you, and your relationship like nothing else will I think. So, it's been a long journey and I am ecstatic that is almost over....!! My many thanks to everybody here who has provided advice and encouragement throughout the process....
The interview went quite well and was surprisingly fast. She was interviewed by a very nice lady there, who only asked two questions: where we met...and if she was member of some youth organization there...She had been a member of the youth organization while in college; but that was not a big deal. She presented all documents and tons of evidence: pictures, copies of emails, etc. She went in early in the morning; spent like 5 minutes in the interview; and was told to pick up the visa in the afternoon....
Good luck to everybody.....
