K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOh c'mon! (Arrested Development reference)
Well if you have the last 4 numbers, and are quite anxious about getting it , you can always try to figure it out. Here's how it breaks down...

Example - EAC 08 143 5 1234

EAC - Vermont Service Center (formerly Eastern Adjudication Center)

08 - The fiscal year of USCIS, from October 1 to September 30. (Cases filed from 10/01/2006 to 09/30/2007 will have xx = 07)
143 - The working day of the fiscal year when your case is received. 10/01 = 001
5 or 0 - Either 5 (in database) or 0 (paper files) ... K1's are put into database
1234 - A serial number assigned to your case based on the number of cases received, starting from 0001

Sara, have a look at that link (if you haven't seen it already). I've looked all over the web and apparently India plays by it's own rules regarding the Adam Walsh Act and DCF. Perhaps it's an option to at least keep on the burner for now. wink.gif

Sara, doesn't India have the 6 month rule for the DCF???

As far as your thanks for all the support... all i've got to say is 'What goes around...comes around'.

I, forone, will be here offering my support until you are through this crazy process. I'm quite sure i'm not alone in that. wink.gif

Stay strong!

I don't even have the words anymore, Sara. sad.gif

If you called again this afternoon you'd probably get an entirely different answer.

I wish I could send you some more strength to get through this. You have such deep faith and great support, I do hope that helps carry you through this. If there is something you need or something you think we could help with please just ask and i'll be more than happy to do my part on your behalf.

Have your fiance contact his/her representative in the states explaining your case and your wait and contact the embassy as often as you can until you get an answer. That is crazy!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportshow to update my timeline.
there isn't a space to fill in your 'touches' on your timeline. Many people put it in the comments section and/or in their signature. smile.gif
KimandRussFemaleNew Zealand2008-07-11 13:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2
It's very likely you will not see anything but perhaps a few touches in the next couple of months so try not to worry. It's time to put on your patient hat and join the rest of us in the waiting room. smile.gif You can join one of the May or June threads to chat with others who filed at the same time. That will help.

Good luck! Hope it speeds up for you!
KimandRussFemaleNew Zealand2008-07-10 15:48:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2
You will want to click on your Portals page (see top of forum) and it will show you a bunch of others who have filed through Croatia. You can also check out the link to the Embassy Info and read reviews from others about how long it will take from NOA2 to interview and what is required of you.

Right now Vermont is taking about 3 months from NOA1 date but this fluctuates all the time. Historically, it is the faster of the two centers.

Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 18 2007 NOA1 and no touch until present
wow, a year is a long time! Your fiance needs to write his representative with all of your information and request assistance. If a Congressional Inquiry is called for, the USCIS has just a couple of days to respond. If you are stuck in name/security checks at least you will know what's holding it up.

In the meantime, I would continue to call every day until you can talk to someone who will help you or at least tell you where your file is.

As stated above, you cannot just get married and file for a spousal visa. You would need to go through the process of cancelling your K1 first and it wont 'fix' whatever is taking so long to push the K1 through.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsProcessing times
Yeah, I got that.

They did cash the check, though, so I assume they can at least register on the uscis site to check their progress. Lots of people don't get their NOA1 (I-797) hardcopy for whatever reason.

edit... Q & A with former adjuticator

In case you're ever looking for it, EWOK was kind enough to add this to the Guides. wink.gif

Vermont is currently taking about 3 months from NOA1 to NOA2.

If you fill in your timeline (> my assistant > edit / add timeline) you will get a range of dates that will give you a more clear idea of when your petition will be adjuticated. Keep in mind this is an estimation based on VJ members only. We are a very small percentage of actual filers.

If you haven't done so yet, you can use the EAC number on the back of your cashed check to login to the uscis website and register for automatic email updates on your case status.

Jollies.. we've all tried answering you for months now. You sent your petition to the wrong center. Nebraska no longer handles K1's. I believe you informed us that they forwarded it to California for you and then sent you an RFE (request for more evidence) I believe it was for passport photos?

Most people from November have been approved. I can only assume sending it to the wrong center and then having the RFE has slowed you down but you should still either have an approval or another RFE for something else you missed.

You need to be registered with the uscis.gov website and have updates regarding your case.

I don't know how else we can explain to you that you need to contact the USCIS for more information. Nobody here is going to be able to tell you what is going on with your case. Most from November are happily married by now.
KimandRussFemaleNew Zealand2008-07-15 11:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPost-NOA2 touch.
There's often a touch after approval. It could be they sent it off to NVC... or at least the mailroom. wink.gif

You can call NVC 603-334-0700, 1, 5 to talk to someone and they can tell you when they receive it. You can then track your package as it heads to the Embassy.

I think I mentioned this in your other post but be sure to check out Candle For Love if you haven't already. wink.gif

Congratulations on your approval...

You can call NVC 603-334-0700, 1, 5 to talk to someone and they can tell you if they've received your case and give you your new number. Best to call late at night.

Then you can track your petition to the Consulate using DHL by reading how here

Moves pretty quick through the NVC so you may find it's already left to London.

Good luck.
