USCIS Service CentersWhere have all the approvals gone?

Ok so this week got off to a promising start with a fair few approvals on Monday and Tuesday. It's now Friday here and I see no new approvals since Tuesday. Is CSC on a two day week? Man this is frustrating.


'Sigh'. :-(

PhilippinesHow long would it take to receive a hard copy of NOA1?

Hi, 

 

As long as your received a text or email for NOA1 you are good.

 

We got an email, but never received a postal notice even though the email said we would.

 

You should have got a case number which you can check online at http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUSCIS update to our case - weird

yeah my Fiance and I and specially our daughter hope to receive our noa2 as soon as possible before school class starts here in Philippines to save money for tuition fees. Still praying to get our Noa2!!!


Good Luck! Hope it comes soon. But if you ask me, a update on your case, even though it isn't the NOA2 is a good sign.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUSCIS update to our case - weird

I recieved same email last month. I called but got no answers. Then 1 week later i recieved hard copy noa2


This is fine, in your case kcbowhunter, they must have changed someone on your case - and you got notified. Just because you got notified it doesn't mean your case has progressed, but someone is looking at it.

that was 1st attempt.

in 2nd attempt noa1 - dec 11, 2012

does this anything to do with our 1st application that denied??






what email you received? That you got RFE or the message that I posted above??


Lufthgiled, hang in there, it means someone is looking at your case now and making changes on it.
Hopefully you will get the next step soon.

Ok - sorry I was going off your timeline, which says you had an RFE on 2012-06-20?

This simply means that someone at USCIS is looking at your case and is making changes to it.
It looks like you submitted information based on a RFE you got?

I am guessing they are processing this now and adding it to the case.
Have you created a logon to USCIS so you can track the last update date of your case?

See the below from the USCIS website:
* Note on "Last Updated" date:
Your case may have a new "Last Updated" date and you may receive an Email and/or text message notification of your case being updated, without the status of the case changing. This is due to internal USCIS processing being performed on your Case. This will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date, but may not result in a different status message.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

It would appear that someone at USCIS has been looked at your case, and has updated it. This doesn't mean it has moved to the next stage.

See this:
* Note on "Last Updated" date:
Your case may have a new "Last Updated" date and you may receive an Email and/or text message notification of your case being updated, without the status of the case changing. This is due to internal USCIS processing being performed on your Case. This will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date, but may not result in a different status message.

I would think this is a good sign, and someone may have started dealing with your case.

All the best!

My NOA1 date was the around the same as yours (2012-11-27), and we got a RFE the same day you got approved.
Hopefully nothing major!

Once again, congratulations!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA-2!!

Well, it looks like I was one of the December filers who suddenly got NOA-2 from CSC. Got a text Friday evening. I feel kinda bad for getting it while so many from July through November are still waiting, but can't help but feel relieved.


Im a November filer and got a RFE, but at least someone is looking at it....good luck!

I got an email stating:
"On April 13, 2013, we mailed a notice requesting evidence/information for this case to you or your representative."

We are now waiting for the hard copy to turn up to see what we need.....but today I got another email stating:
"On April 19, 2013, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)."

Does anyone know if this will be 2 separate RFE's coming our way?

Firstly...did you send a letter of intent with your application? One from each of you are needed. I had an RFE for the same thing, I totally forgot to send the letters.

 

An example of the letter I submitted is below.

 

I would get this sent in asap and you will be back on track :-)

Dear Sir or Madam:

 

I, "your name", do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marry "your partners name", and intend to do so within 90 days of my arrival into the US using the K-1 visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPacket 3 Question

Hi,

 

I have today received my packet 3, but am a little confused.

 

It appears to be in two stages:

 

FIRST: Complete and return immediately the following: Police Cert Application, DS 230 Part 1, DS 156, DS 156K, DS 157 2 x passport photos, photocopy of passport.

 

SECOND: Obtain the following documents on this checklist which pertain to you. When gathered send to this office.

 

As i don't have all the documents yet, does this mean I should submit the first ones with a cover letter, then once I have all the additional documents submit these. 

 

I am assuming if i submit just the first part I wont get an interview date until I have submitted the documents in the second part.

 

Thanks.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDS-156 Error

well in some ways im glad its not just me....but it is frustrating.

 

benjamin. - im not sure what you can do, i would take a print out of the form without hitting continue, and then one of the screen after you hit continue.

its about all you can do.

I will be calling my consulate on Monday to ask for advice, and will also emailing them.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDS-156 Error

Hi,

 

Yep, cleared my cache, tested on multiple computers and internet connections.

checked firewalls, routers etc...even got a friend in another country to try it and the same thing.

NikiR - what happens if you load the form and just click continue, do you get a HTTP 500 error? http://evisaforms.st...gov/default.asp then DS-156.

 

 

I received my packet 3 over a week ago and they wanted this document immediately. I am getting worried they will cancel my k-1 request.

I think I am going to give them a call and see if they can help. I am getting worried.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDS-156 Error

Hi,

 

Just wondering if anyone is currently having issues filling out the DS-156 online?

I have been trying for days using: http://evisaforms.st...gov/default.asp

 

I complete the form and when I click continue I get this error. (screenshot attached also)

 

  The website cannot display the page  HTTP 500
 
  Most likely causes:
  • The website is under maintenance.
  • The website has a programming error.
   

 

 

 

I have tired on 4 different computer, using two different internet connections.

 

I have tired IE 8, IE 9, IE 10, Chrome, Firefox, Safari - and Acrobat Reader is installed.

 

Any one else having an issue or is it just me?
