K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCSC April k1 filers
laughing.gif I know a few people who are ticking timebombs right about now!

The disparity in the centers has bothered me all along.. so much so i've contacted my representatives about it. I'm a lifelong Boston girl but the way I see it... we pay the same fees..processing should be the same. It's that simple. This topic has been brought up so much in VJ this past year. Moreso at the beginning of the year, when VSC was taking less than a month and CSC was still 5-6!

I know what you mean about the waiting... after 10 years of daily communication... 1 1/2 living and travelling the world together... 3+ months should seem like a short time but we've only had 3 weeks together in the past 10+ months and it will be about 1 year by the time we're together again... that does eat away at you! Besides, i'm a little older than some and probably a little more patient than a few others but we are so ready to be on with it....

Hi there, i'm not a CSC filer but you can find many of them all here. smile.gif

I don't think CSC is quite to April yet. It's not abnormal not to hear anything. Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved!!!
Read this first What happens next depends very much on the Consulate you are going through. Normally your fiance would receive a packet of forms and information to collect. You will need to send her the affidavit of support..etc. As mentioned to you previously..read the guides.

You're going to want to visit the regional threads and do some reading since you're going through HCMC. I would do my very best to educate myself to the process. This is where it could get sticky for you.

good luck.

Sorry you had to deal with that. If I were you i'd visit the Embassy website and see if there is a specific way to file a complaint. Im very glad it all worked out for you and that you were/are informed enough to know the truth but can you imagine those going in who are not as educated? Sad.

Congratulations!

No offense, and perhaps he didn't imply it as so, but if he did I think you might have greater issues at hand here than getting a visa.

If it's not been cashed yet umm. ...that's not good. It wouldn't take this long to cash the check or money order. no0pb.gif Did you make a duplicate copy of your package or send it with confirmed delivery?

It seems as if they are really working at their slowest pace ever.


For those of us that have been around a while, CSC is working faster than they have in a while. I know this week has seemed very slow but averaging 4 months from NOA1 to NOA2 is GREAT for CSC! We must all remember that VJ is a very small percentage of actual filers so it's likely th at CSC hasn't slowed down a bit... they're just not approvals we are seeing here at VJ. So, keep your spirits up over here... it's coming! wink.gif

VSC is the center actually slowing down... just my luck really! huh.gif It's only fair that approval times are equal though. wink.gif

Glo, it sounds like your entire packet was returned? That seems to the be the case with missing forms.

Use the VJ Guides to put together the packet correctly so that this does not happen again.

Be advised, when filling out the G325 forms it will auto complete and print a set of 4 pages that look identical. Each of which you must sign and include with the petition.

What you need at this stage of the process, along with the correct forms, is proof of having met in the past two years. Passport stamps showing entry/exit along with copies of your boarding passes/itinerary showing u both in the same place at the same time....etc... will show proof of meeting in the last two years.

Emails and phone records and things of that nature are proof of on-going relationship more often asked for at the consulate/interview stage of the process afer you are approved at the uscis.

There is more info in the guides.

Sorry to hear you got an rfe. He should have the hardcopy anytime which will explain exactly what they're looking for. Hopefully, it's something very simple they are requesting and he can send it back right away. Note on the outside of the envelope that this is a response to an RFE and put your case number. You WILL NOT have to go back and start over. Try not to be too depressed... at least they're working on it!

It seems CSC is catching up and VSC is slowing down! Bad news for folks like us sad.gif but good news for all of you! It's only fair really! I do hope you all star to get some happy news soon. smile.gif

Then, I have a question: I dont understand what Robert M explained about the three numbers after the WAC08 in the Visa file number. What does it mean exactly? Is it possible to know something or at least "guess" something from that numbers maybe? Well if somebody could explain that to me with calm I would appreciate it so much


LIN = Lincoln, Nebraska or NSC
EAC = St. Albans, Vermont or VSC (used to be Eastern Adjutication Center)
SRC= Dallas, Texas or TSC
WAC= Laguna Niguel, California or CSC (used to be Western Adjutication Center)

So using... EAC0800150001

The 08 represents the fiscal year (October 1, through September 30) in which the case was received.
The 001 represents the computer workday in the fiscal year on which the fee was taken.
The 50001 represents the particular case number.
For cases with particular case numbers starting with a 5 (like those of us filing for k1's), electronic case status information is available. For cases with particular case numbers starting with a 0, you must write to request the status of your case.

Ugh..travelling!!! Last flight cost me $2,600 r/t.. not to mention the 20+ hours in the air! I'm so envious of people who are closer but I will say that my man and the beautiful country of NZ are so worth it!!

Robert.. the three numbers you indicate are the working fiscal days.. not calendar days...and this can include those days employees work overtime so it's really hard to pinpoint anything but generalizations by using the numbers. wink.gif Nobody can tell you what your touch means or what box you're in. Not everybody is touched before they are stored or even when their case is worked on. I suppose it's at the discretion of the adjuticator working your case and some seem to play by their own rules. In any case, I hope you find your approved sooner than you expect. wink.gif

Susie.. .nice to see you hon. Hope you're hanging in there. Will email you soon.

Hi everyone,

i'm new here and after reading a lot i would just like to ask few questions. We decided to take lawyer to help us with everything (after i discovered this page and saw that its maybe better without lawyer). Lawyer sent all documents at May 20 and we received case number at June 3 (i saw that at their page). Since then nothing sad.gif Papers are sent to Vermont. I'm croatian and i would like to ask if somebody from croatia is right now in the process? Our lawyer told us that usually takes up to 9 months until interwiev, is that right?

Thank you for all answers,
Tihana


Welcome to VJ. I myself is new to K-1 and initially wanted to use a Lawyer till I found VJ. Now I just send my package out 3 days ago, all did it myself with the help of VJ.

From what I read, it usually take 3-6 months to get NOA 2. Looks like you still have few months of waiting for NOA 2 and then some additional months to setup the interview. Don't feel bad, all of us are in the same boat and playing the "Waiting Game".

Yes it suxxxxx if they lost it. We have all the originals there also. They recieved our petition last JUNE 30.... and nothing until now.... Pls tell me what to do..

Do we need to wait till it is encash or we need to resend another copy again which is suxx?


Seeing none of us July filers got NOA 1, I'd wait for another week or so. I think there should be a batch of NOA 1 coming out soon.

Also, I read from another post today, about a memo for Vermont Service Center about delayed receiving process for the past few weeks. But, I can't find that post now. It was posted today. The info was from a lawyer someone used.

Almost 3 weeks from the time we sent the packet 129F but unitl now the check is not encash yet. Can somebody tell me whats going on with this situation? We filed at Vermont for K1 visa. Was it lost?



I for one will give them Hell if they lost my package especially that I have prove that it was delivered to them and signed for. The I-129F package contains every piece of personal information from us (SSN, Birthday, Passport, address, even Birth Certificate etc...), which is a gold mine for those not too honest people to steal our identities. Can we sue the agency if they lost our package? Or have them sign something for their mistakes, incase we run into any fraud problem?

My package was delivered to Vermond on July 7th, and signed for. I still have heard anything from them and my check has not been cashed yet. I will give it another couple weeks before doing anything.

Your 30 days is coming up early next week. Maybe you want to give them a call if you haven't see anything next week to see what's going on. Let us know what you find out too if you do call.
