K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGot it

I was visiting my fiancee in Nicaragua this week. On Teusday I just happened to leave my cell fone on while driving with her. Phone rang..my lawyer. Approved!! And my fiancee was sitting right next to me........what a nice way to find out. Thanks for VJ forum. 5/19 to 10/12.with 2 RFE's , one was IMBRA and the other just a missing paper. Wow..finally!


CONGRATS!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
Can you fill me in on the timeframe of the way things happened for you?! My fiance is from Nicaragua, also...this is the first time I see a post from someone with a Nicaraguan fiance... I'm still waiting on the NOA1...kinda sad...but happy for you guys!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA1...where's mine?!
I mailed my I-129F Certified Express mail Oct 3. It was signed for Oct 10...how long do I have to wait for the NOA1?! I keep checking my email, online banking, mail box...to see if there is any new news...but nothing. Is it supposed to take this long for NOA1?

Yeah, don't worry...that happened to me, too...but mine fell on the end of a weekend and the Monday was Labor day, so my situation was bad...yours should get there sooner than mine did!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA1...Yay!!
:) Hi everyone! So, maybe I was a little hasty in posting "NOA1...Where's Mine?!" because our NOA1 arrived Friday, October 20th via snail mail. No email updates or anything. Not that that would have helped because our internet went out for a few days...but I am happy to report that we now have our NOA1. The actual date is October 16th...AND the check was cashed. YES!!! :yes: Thanks guys...I'll keep you posted.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe 'system errors' at CSC are delaying som NOA2's
So, when are the going to FIX this GLITCH in the system?! :blink:
aliciaandfranFemaleNicaragua2006-10-26 16:44:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhen did you get your first touch?!
Thanks you guys for responding. So, "touches" are completely random and different for everybody (DUH alicia...) I just wanted to know from some others how the "touches" happened for them...I'm waiting for my first touch...Nothing yet.
aliciaandfranFemaleNicaragua2006-10-27 16:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhen did you get your first touch?!
Ok...So, of course I'm just like everybody else who wants their case to be reviewed and approved quickly. So, I just wanted to know how long did it take you to get a "touch"?! Does the glitch in California's notification system affect the case updates online? What I mean to say, is it pointless for me to check for a touch if it will never show up? Thanks guys. I feel like I'm going crazy and I know this is just the first leg of the waiting process...Ohh...wow...this is crazy.

Yes, praying is always good. Aside from that, you can twiddle your thumbs, whistle, twirl your hair aournd your finger, check your status on the USCIS website 5 times a day, gripe about how slow the process is... Oh, and don't forget to visit VJ every day and read all the posts here, (misery loves company :P).

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDenied Tourist Visa Will Affect K-1?

This is one thing you have to keep in mind for AOS you have been denied visa and not entry. Keep these things in your head .


Ok. Will do. Thanks.
aliciaandfranFemaleNicaragua2006-10-31 23:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDenied Tourist Visa Will Affect K-1?

A denied tourist visa means that it was denied at the embassy/consulate where he applied.

A denied entry would mean that he was denied entry at a POE, which would be more serious.

Since your fiance was denied a tourist visa, it does not seem that bad unless if you guys lie. My fiance was also denied a tourist visa about 2 years ago. He intended to get such a visa, so that he could come and visit the U.S. to see me. However, for the same reasons your fiance was denied, my Juan was also denied, he was a young college student, no strong ties to Mexico, etc. However when you file all of the forms, make sure to include all of this information so that it doesn't cause problems and you should be okay. :D


Thanks... We have been upfront and honest so far...I think it's best...So, we will be sure to keep everything in the open. Thanks again.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDenied Tourist Visa Will Affect K-1?
Thanks so much. From reading your posts, I think we will be ok. Thanks again. Alicia
aliciaandfranFemaleNicaragua2006-10-29 11:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDenied Tourist Visa Will Affect K-1?
In May of 2006 my fiance applied for a tourist visa in Managua, Nicaragua. The US embassy denied him the visa obviously because he is a 23 year old male without strong ties to his country. Will this affect our K-1 process? I have heard some people say that denied entry could cause problems. Was a denied tourist visa the same as denied entry? On the question on the I-129F that asks how we met I explained the following (paraphrased): We met in 2005...waited a year. I tried to get him to meet my parents in the US in 2006 but they denied him the visa so I went to Nicaragua for a month. I was honest and wrote all of that in the explanation of our meeting. Do you think that this could affect our K-1 because of denied entry or is this not denied entry? Thanks...Alicia

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOk, the Goverments holiday is over
Is it too much to hope for an approval before Christmas? Do you think they will have a "Merry Christmas" mindset for us all?
aliciaandfranFemaleNicaragua2006-11-13 16:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow is this possible

Just remember that you are now in the hands of the State Department, not the USCIS. Rejoice. Soon your fiancee will be contacted about Packets 3 & 4 and you will be making arrangements for flights. Looks like you might have a visitor by New Year's Eve. Now, get off your butt and make sure everything else is in place. This is the exciting time.

I'm sorry to hear such a sad story. I wouldn't know what to do in your situation, but keep in mind that God has a plan for you.


Yes He does...and you deserve a man that will treat you with respect and honor and cherish you...and obviously this guy is too immature to know what he's got...(until it is gone)...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNVC RECEIVES FINALLY!


Congratulations! You will definitely have a happy Thanksgiving!


My case has finally been received at NVC and was given a case number!!! # CDJ--------------
Now it is off to Mexico in the next 5 days! WOOHOO!!!!!



I was looking at your timeline and wanted to tell you about my experience with CSC.....I would advise you to not get discouraged if you go 2-3 months with nothing. No touch or anything. I got nothing for 2 months. But, when I finally did get touched, I was approved 2 days later. So it is almost like they did nothing with my case for 2 months and then wham! we got approved.

I hope you have no RFE's or anything. Remember to be patient and things will be fine! Good Luck! :)


CONGRATULATIONS!!! FELICIDADES!!!!
Thanks for your encouragement...I'm going through CSC (originally TCS)...and my NOA1 was October 16. I haven't had any touches...but I'm looking forward to what you said...WHAM...haha and an approval!
aliciaandfranFemaleNicaragua2006-11-17 15:34:00

Yes I noticed that this morning. It seems they have a new message (saying the same thing). Maybe all of this rewriting memos and postings is what is keeping them busy from approving petitions :P
