They're doing something at least. Hooray. Now if they can take care of the January filers they left behind it will be time to pump out February! they need to work fast because that backlog isn't going anywhere. *fingers crossed for everyone*



Yeah that "gap" is concerning. Maybe those cases where given to an employee who was is on leave or something.....

This is a good sign ya'll... :thumbs:

Oh I am seriously freaked out now... my fiancé just called me to tell me that one of his coworkers died over the weekend and there are grief councillors at work and everything... the freaky part is that this coworker was also going through the visa process, and he has a fiancee in Canada too. That is seriously one of my biggest fears. I wish I could reach out to this lady :(




OMG....thats the worst. Pass our condolences please.

Hit my 5 month mark today. No approval. No drumroll. Just sadness.


VSC really needs to be considerate of people's lives when they take their sweet time in adjudicating our petitons.

I mean seriously!!!!

They approved some petitions in the last few days and did not update their systems.

I want to believe the HB1 visa myth but I dont think we should be giving them any excuses as to why they have not been doing THEIR JOB.

Back to IGOR

I am happy to see SOME action over there. It shows that one day it will be our turn. But that day needs to be now. I am willing to be patient and refrain from being negative until I hit the 5 month mark, after which if there is still no approval.....I WILL.....

Wait, I cant do anything but wait!

Ditto. Posted Image

If I got approved in 10 days Posted Image (which I did not) Posted Image I would have just kept quiet about it.. Yep Posted Image

Julian and I are talking about having him just go ahead and come soon and fly him back for his interview. We were going to save money, but well....yeah.Posted Image



Same here! I am thinking of flying out right after the bar exam i.e end of july, till mid august. I last saw him in early march and skype doesnt quite cut it anymore. We were trying to save money as we are getting married both here in NY and in our (other) hometown, Nigeria in december.....but the distance and the INaction in VSC is becoming unbecoming so I might end up being there for the olympics....Still havent decided.

If we get an approval before we book the crazily expensive ticket, then we would stay put but at this rate, watching grass grow is so much faster.

I've been so depressed lately I don't even feel like posting anything positive. I miss him so much Posted Image and VSC apparently has better things to do. Posted Image

I can't believe nothing since Thursday. I'm going to try and send out positive vibes in my sleep that SOME folks get some late night texts.

Lately I can't even stay distracted by my creative projects. Posted Image

And then is also seems to be that London is doling out interviews almost 3 months from approval. Will he even be here by Labor Day?

I'm depressed. US/UK are the slowest governments. Posted Image



I. totally. understand. how. you. feel.

My positivity bank is empty.

So, according to the graphs, CSC is now ahead of VSC with January approvals (and possibly overall). But still, 15 VSC approvals this week isn't too shabby. Much better than the week when there were 3!

Did anyone see the thread ("Stock and the engagement ring") by the guy who filed mid-March and insisted with absolute certainty that he'd have his NOA2 by the end of July? HA. :rofl:


LOL! I saw that. I admire his confidence, but USCIS, has a mind of their own. If they choose to process a petition within 15 minutes or 7 months.

I like to check back with him in august lol

Hey ya'll
I see that folks have their "packet 3" all ready to go even before NOA2 so it can be sent the next day, once they are approved.

Does my fiance need the NOA2 notice for that package or only to bring to the interview (London). I've been waiting to send him all that stuff until I got the NOA2, but if I can get it out in the mail and not wait for that one thing, that would be amazing. Everything else is ready!

Posted Image



Good question. What exactly is needed in the packet 3 anyway? I get boggled down in tiny details and I wonder whether I have conflicting information.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny February 2012 filers?

Thanks Mary. I'm totally stressing now... I reaaaallly hope it turns out to be nothing. It would suck to have to wait out the processing for an RFE, after all this waiting - especially since we have to send an updated letter of intent with the next package anyway.

I guess all I can do is... wait. LOL. That seems to be the name of the game!



I agree with Mary. I hope they dont catch it. Seems like a typo and not a major error. You should be fine.

Hugs!

Yes. Ha. Im hoping to maintain my positivity until after my VJ timeline estimate passes. About 131-137 days appears to be the average. And I guess after that it's time to initiate the congressional inquiry that way by day 150 it's ready to go. I dont think I'll ever understand how a 15 minute approval takes 5 months.



Didnt know it only took 15 Mins for them to review a file. WOW!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny February 2012 filers?

It should get better. I think approvals will accelerate at the end of the week. First day back. Physically they are at work. Mentally still at the beach. They better direct some more resources toward these petitions. The number of submissions is only going to increase into the summer months. They'll create a disaster for themselves if they don't keep up.



I need some of your Zen Tea Paul 86. I'm usually not this antsy and impatient but this process has worked my patience thin.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny February 2012 filers?

Hello Fub peeps!!!!!

I am back into the game )) Here is the short outline of my last week. I went to another city to get a visa stamped into my passport. Not a K-1 visa though (I WISH K-1 were that easy to get). I didn't take my laptop with me thinking I would have another computer over there available for me.Once I got to the place I was staying at, I went straight online to check if there were any "touches" or any movement whatsoever to my case number. And... that was the moment when I realized that automatic log-in/fill-in DOES NOT HAPPEN on other computers. Of course I didn't remember a single digit out of the case number besides VSC letters. I was laughing telling my fiancé about "silly me" whilst not having a slightest doubt that he would give me the case number again so I could track the changes. Nope. Nopity-Nopity-Nope! This man had the guts to say that it would be a good chance for me to cool off a bit because, according to him, I was spending too much time on immigration issues. I had been under impression that checking email, logging into uscis page 20 times a day, keeping up with most VJ updates was a healthy limit (joking here but I hadn't thought about me simply being obsessed) He had a different opinion, so he kept the case number a well guarded secret. All the attempts to convince/seduce/bribe/threaten were in vain. So I stayed clueless for the whole week. Consider this to be a confession of K-1 junkie.. LOL.. straight out from rehab!

The funny part is that he was totally right about me obsessing too much. Even though I knew that I would be getting an email if there were any changes to our case or he would be getting a text if there was an approval like I saw many people mentioning, it didn't stop me from logging into our uscis account much more often than permitted by common sense. Surprisingly I feel much more calmly right now. No matter how long it'll take them to get to our case, they will be there. Lost cases are mostly unheard of so just another couple of days/weeks/ months and we will be there. I just wish I could share this tranquility and "we will get there" feeling with you all :)

On the other note, I also wanted to ask your opinion. I am meeting my fiancé at the end of June - beginning of July. This is when (hopefully) we will be getting approval. So I was thinking that he might as well bring along all the documents I will be needing for my interview. Now, the big question is, won't it be too early? Interview might not happen for another two months or so after we see each other, and so far I was not able to find out for how long letter of intent is "valid for", so to speak. I understand that the closer it is to the interview, the better, but I would feel much more comfortable not relying on mail which is ridiculously unreliable in Russia. What do you guys think? When are you all planning on mailing/receiving the remaining documents for your interview?



I have all my Tax transcripts ready and I can write the letter of intent in my sleep at this point. Best believe that as soon as I get that NoA2, I'm off to FedEx to ship them off.....
