Still no touches here.. crying.gif ....May 21st NOA1 and last touched on May 31st...I hope everything is OK and they are not giving me an RFE.


Is it possible that they could ask for envidences three months or so after you got your NOA1???!??!?!? mad.gif
That would be the worst thing ever!


I don't think so, next thing will have is our NOA2!!! Hell yeah!!! laughing.gif


--Mirla.



I re-read a copy of my I-129F packet nearly every night. I can't see ANYTHING that would be an RFE. I have never yet received a hard copy of the NOA1 either---oh well. I've got my case number, that's all that matters. My honey is on the train to Moscow now and will fly to Detroit on Thursday----oh my GOSH---I can't believe the time is finally here when we will be together for a while!!!

To those people who have already ordered their police certificate, what's involved with that? How do you order one? I didn't know you could do it ahead of time.

Adam is from England, if that makes a difference for any responses.

They don't expire or anything, do they? It's okay to get it dated for September or whatever even though (most likely) Adam's interview won't be till December?

Thanks so much!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsATTENTION : MAY FILERS ... lets keep in touch!

Finally posting for the first time- i read the forum almost everyday and want to let you all know that all of you make this so much easier for me as I don't know anyone directly involved with the visa process other than myself.

Hopefully things will speed up this week.... my projected date on my timeline is creeping into middle of september- it started at August 19th for the NOA2- what's with the delay- is everyone on vacation?? :whistle:



thanks so much- yeah i'm thinking i should cut myself off from looking at my timeline as it just makes me more frustrated-

i have been hearing over and over again especially with all the proposed changes with immigration laws that the fiance visa is really the only wayt to get over here- i'm happy we're doing it so young. i'm completely over the ' long distance is doable' thought though....

does anyone know about fiances visiting the us? my fiance was saying he's heard of people have trouble because of the landing cards and how theere is a clause that states you dont' have intentino on trying to become a citizen? he hasn't been visiting here because of it- making be have my 129038129038129 th visit to the uk... ha. i have been reading though that peoples fiances have been visiting here.

As long as your fiance' has a valid b-1 or other visa he/she can enter the country. Keep in mind, an international visitor can be denied entrance anytime at a POE. It doesn't matter if they are applying for a K-1 or anything else. It's best for the traveler to just be honest without offering too much information. My fiance' will have been to the U.S. twice on his B-1 during our VJ. I have found POE people to be pretty fair and friendly (all over the world). I think it has a lot to do with your persona, I mean how you come across to the POE officials with your attitude and personality, etc. Good Luck

The other 50 April filers? :lol: :innocent:



I read many posts on here regarding how stressful this process was prior to filing my visa package. Many people stated the waiting and waiting can drive you insane. When I read those posts they were just words on a page. Now that I am one of the "waiting", I truly understand the stress and craziness of this ordeal.

Let's hope that the flood gates open soon for us May filers. It would be very nice to see our adjudication dates jump foward instead of backwards all the time.


While we are waiting---are there any computer geeks who can make a list of all May filers and when they have gotten their NOA1's and when they get there NOA2's. Somebody on the April thread is doing that---it will help us pass the time and see when May filers start getting that elusive NOA2 action :whistle:

Well THIS is weird....

I received my NOA1 on May 11. Then today, 2 1/2 months later, I go to my mailbox and find TWO envelopes from USCIS. Each contain another copy of the NOA1. Has anyone else had this happen?
It's not a big deal I suppose, but every little thing from USCIS makes my heart jump, so TWO envelopes had me shaking. I've read both pieces of paper over thoroughly to make sure they were indeed nothing more than receipt notices of the I129F... just seems a bit odd. :huh:



We haven't ever received a hard copy either!!! JUST WANT THE NOA2!!! :blink:

I don't know why it annoys me so, because the time lines DO fluctuate wildly it seems... but when I signed on this morning and saw my estimated date is now in SEPTEMBER, I was UNHAPPY. I have been anticipating that little twinge of happiness that was bound to come when I flipped my calendar over to August in two more days thinking that August was OUR month.
Oh well. Maybe in two more days it will jump back to August again. (sigh) :unsure:


Same here! :( Our estimated date was July 31, then it was August 22, and NOW it's Sept. 4 :o
All we can do is wait... I was too hoping that somehow it would go back to August.


Ours originally was mid-August, jumped the last 2 weeks to Oct. 4, now it's back to September 24. It is ALL worth the wait!!!

FYI

I called USCIS, since I haven't Received I-797 (NOA1) like most of us who filed at Nebraska Service Center and got forwarded to California Service Center and was told by the Rep that CSC is experiencing delays in mailing/sending Notices.

I called them to make sure they have my mailing Address Correct.

We can relax now and wait for NOA2 Approval.

Welcome to all the new people in our May club! My internet has spotty and I haven't been able to get on much.

Like I said before I had called June 15 re: not getting the paper NOA1. They said they'd generate it. Still haven't gotten it. I'm thinking of calling again, maybe around July 15th. Adam is (hopefully) coming to visit around mid-August, and I'd like him to have a copy of that with him.

I can't believe it's already been two months since they officially received my package. It's funny, I had ALMOST forgotten about that situation (and by that I mean, I had stopped incessently checking my case update info...hee hee) and when I realized it was coming up on two months, I have to say, it did go by kind of fast.

One more month! Well, best case scenerio, of course!

We're doing it!!!! Yay! I can't wait to start seeing NOA2 congrats in this thread!

Michele

It's been two months for me too, haven't gotten the NOA1 either. Not to worry, NOA2 is the most important one anyway. One more month for sure!! All the best.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisits to U.S. after the I-129F is filed

Hi,

I think it depends. I, too, read about it. But went to see my fiance after he had filed the petition. I had no trouble what so ever entering. My POE was Chicago O'Hare. The guy simply asked me a few questions, was very nice about it. Among other quetions he asked me if we were gonna get married on this trip....which the answer was no :) I was honest about everything. No trouble.

However, I DO suggest taking with you some documentation showing that you will definitely have to go back: statement from your employer expecting you back at work at a certain date, real estate..stuff like that. Honestly, I had nothing else but a letter from my employer...and I didn't even have to use it :)

Good luck!

I read from someone that it is inadvisable for the foreign fiance to visit the U.S. after the I-129F is filed. It was stated that the port of entry security are a lot more suspicious of the fiance not returning to his/her country. Is this true? Wouldn't proof of return airline tickets be convincing? Or do you all think it is better for the U.S. citizen to make the visits out of the U.S. after the I-129F is filed? Or shouldn't I worry about this?

When you arrive in the US, the K-1 is valid for a 90 day stay. He can only work for 90 days with the EAD stamp, and JFK is the only airport that currently provides it.
This discussion about needing EAD stamp came up earlier.

I am beginning to read the OVERWHELMING amount of information on acquiring a work permit. Is it true JFK is the only East coast airport that gives out a work permit? (We're coming in on a K-1). Does anybody know if they give them out at Detroit?


Does not matter you are allowed to work for 90 days after you arrive on K1 or up until marriage day, irregardless of whether they give you the stamp or not, we did it, no problems. After marriage you have to stop working and have a work permit EAD or green card to continue on working legally per US immigration laws.
You made me do some looking.

Read form I-9 directions particularly list A requirements;

QUOTE
5. An unexpired foreign passport with an unexpired Arrival-Departure Record, Form I-94, bearing the same name as the passport and containing an endorsement of the alien's nonimmigrant status, if that status authorizes the alien to work for the employer.
http://www.uscis.gov...es/form/I-9.pdf

Sounds like if the employer is aware that K-1 is work authorized they can employ the person for the validity period of the I-94 card, 90 days from entry on the K-1, after that and EAD, Green-card or I-551 stamp is required to continue working.

The employ does not need to quit working after marriage, only after the I-94 expires, and it is te responsibility of the employer to ensure that the person is work authorized.


http://www.visajourn...h...t&p=1328732


Ultimately what I need to know is this----once we are married, he cannot work until he gets the EAD? You mean, none of your wives/husbands work until they get this?

The employer needs to know that K-1 is work authorized for the 90 days of the I-94, after that EAD card or green-card is required to work.

I here conflicting reports: 1) you have to ASK for a work permit at JFK or 2) your k-1 authorizes you to work for 90 days. The information is very confusing --- HELP, thanks,
