So is two weeks the latest sort of time they would cash it? I'm hoping for something to happen in next couple of days... hopefully!

Yes I expect anywhere is greener than Utah, lol. Yes my SO Andy is all about the 'best' coast, luckily his head office is in SD so thats where were planning on setting up home when he is finished in Utah. How did your wife settle from China to the US? big change! I feel like I'm in the US all the time, just waiting for a border officer to refuse me one of these days (I've been here since May bar a week). Just hope they continue to let me in on my B2 up until I get my K1, I'm not into long distance! Killer.

Checked Igors list again and it seems things are moving still for May NOA1's, so who knows, in a month that could be me!

Time for some dirt biking!

I agree, Utah has many beautiful natural sights.

I moved away in 1984, though I have lived in the western US all of my life. We currently reside in the Seattle area, it is certainly greener here than in Utah (due to the proximity to the coast). It is interesting to think that my wife used to live on the eastern coast of the Pacific in China, now she lives on the western coast of the Pacific in America. Like Louis Armstrong once sang, ..."What a wonderful world!"...

Wishing you continued good fortune on your visa journey.

vicomi are you at VSC then? I am not convinced things will move this fast for ever, I mean I planned for 5 months and if it comes in 3 months I am seriously going to have to get my skates on and start organising. Did you get your package mailed off?

Things are great in SLC as always! Love it here- so so pretty. You still here?

I know it's coming soon ish just so ready to move over here now. Been looking at jobs etc we got a cat yesterday! It'll be worth all this wait in the end. :D

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHat's off to the California Service Center
I agree! 3 months is much more bearable than the expected 5. I honestly don't know how couples can be seperated for so long, maybe I'm just a bit needy!lol. I'm going to get my foreign police certificate ordered when I get back to the UK next week - I'm expecting that to take a good few weeks to come from Bahrain.

:D





I hope for the folks currently at the CSC that this exuberance is not short-lived, but rather that it continues and is also transferred to the VSC. All of us that have been through the NOA1 -> NOA2 "dead-zone" can totally appreciate the hope of a more rapid pace of approval.

Keep on rolling CSC, VSC has to get with the program. :thumbs: :thumbs:

Think he's just saying there's swings and roundabouts, one of them has to be faster than other. And I don't know how it works but they might be approving different kinds of petitions at EAC - i129f is one of many! I personally am a bit peeved that we filed in June and now our expected approval date is next month. It limits our prep time down and I will most likely have to resign from my job earlier than I wanted which SUCKS! if I gotta spend a life time with this man I sure as hell wouldn't mind some breathing space before hand!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsvermont processing petition
Good point there. Petitions are great - if they get taken seriously. But it just takes one guy at the top of USCIS to say "no". I secretly think the government want us all to wait longer to put off potential scammers looking for a "quick fix". Who knows? We never will.
ClaireGioFemaleUnited Kingdom2012-08-20 13:32:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat's your plans in US ?
Drivers license, helping my man move into a bigger place, joining a gym, and when my green card comes hopefully gaining employment with a US airline! Oh and I'm going to get a garden started and grow all our own veg! Absolutely going to miss home - it's dawning on me now.... Nervous.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny June 2012 K1 Filers?
Yeah I guess when you apply for visa at embassy they would have full access to any criminal info under your name, those guys know everything! Lol.

Not done much planning and can't leave the states till tomorrow now as my flight to Paris was full :(

Still looking at venues but we are trying to keep costs down so who knows?

I'm confident with all the forms now I just have to get my police check from Bahrain and I'm good to go! My main concern is my ability to find a job when I'm here :) I'm on the lookout now! We've just adopted a cat so that's keeping us both very occupied - practise for a baby I keep saying. Ha!

So your at vsc hon? What's your noa1 date?

Thanks adamandlisa!!!

I'm sure there will be more today, keep checking USCIS - we didnt but the text came at around 8pm mountain time (7pm cali time). Good luck!

ClaireGio, I just saw your NOA2 got approved, congratulations on that! I'm also at the CSC, so I'm hoping things will move fast. :)


ClaireGioFemaleUnited Kingdom2012-08-17 16:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny June 2012 K1 Filers?
I know, pretty quick right?!

Your guys are to follow! Its so random cause yesterday I decided to download all the DS forms I will need for interview and start getting to know them, then we got the text at 8pm last night! It's like I knew it was coming or something! I think about 50% of Mays have been approved already so they should start getting more and more June petitions up there too soon!

Well I feel kinda officially engaged now and we've started looking at venues and such in Las Vegas and San Diego (can't decide!) and I might even start looking at wedding dresses but that is just too scary to even contemplate right now. HA!

Best of luck to all you June-filers and lets hope VSC does the decent thing and hires some more staff to deal with the current situation. I really feel for those guys who have been waiting since February and have heard nothing, it doesnt seem right at all!

I'll be keeping an eye out for your guys approvals!!

Claire

I bet yours will come soon hon, your right behind us! X

Congrats ClaireGio.NOA2 in 66 days is just amazing!!!! Good luck on the rest of your journey.

No not at all! Not even looked at forms for next stage yet. The financial stuff looks straight forward. I'm ordering my overseas police check next week cause I know that's going to take forever. I'll order my UK one nearer the time. Really can't bare how long this process is and how I'm expected to be out of work for a couple of months when I get there :(

Naomi, I'm from Manchester, you?

Yeah VSC is taking forever if seems but I think things will turn around soon. Yeah we are at Cali! Would be nice to get an approval early but it is quite daunting as I never planned to be moving out there realistically till like February.... X
