K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI guess I don't have to smuggle him across the border

Seldi,

I'm feeling so left behind. :( We filed at the same time, got our NOA1 at the same time, received and returned our RFE at the same time, but I have not been touched since 7/8/06 and not been approved.

I'm happy for you though.



Aww, I'm so sorry. I'm sure you will get it soon. (F)

Thank you all!! I'm really shocked actually, I was honestly not expecting it at all.
I couldn't sleep last night and decided to check my e-mail at 11:30pm and there it was!!!

I wish the best luck to those of you who are still waiting for an approval. Hang in there!! Easier said than done I know, but when do you see that approval e-mail in your inbox, it will all be worth it!!

Thank you guys for being such an amazing support group!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShouldn't we be seeing more touches and approvals?
I guess only a few members create a topic when they're approved.
Expect one from me on August 25th :yes:
seldiFemaleArgentina2006-07-19 11:54:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShouldn't we be seeing more touches and approvals?
VSC isn't working all that fast. I see very few, scattered approvals and very few touches. It's like they pulled the plug on the touch machine :lol:
seldiFemaleArgentina2006-07-19 11:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShouldn't we be seeing more touches and approvals?
I see very few touches, I see very few approvals, including new and older petitions and recalled cases. So I ask myself, what in the hell are they doing?
I know we're only a small portion of k1 petitions in the various service centers, but c'mon, it's just a bit odd that most haven't even been touched in weeks.
seldiFemaleArgentina2006-07-19 10:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTougher time the less amount of time you've known each other?
This is the conclusion I've gatherd from hearing & reading about other cases.

At the USCIS level, it could raise a few red flags, but I don't think it should be a big issue overrall. The USCIS seems to focus mainly on 1) making sure you're single 2) making sure you've met in the past 2 years. They're probably the only reason why you'd be denied, I highly doubt you would get denied because you haven't known each other that long.

I think it might be more of an issue later on at the Embassy/consulate level. From what I hear, this is where you're truly judged on literally EVERYTHING (physically, mentally, emotionally).

This is just my personal opinion.

Where you ever able to track your petition at NVC? I was told that sometimes it stays at the NVC for such a short time that it can't be tracked. Not sure how true that is :lol:

I'm having a major case of service center envy. :lol:


I did, but I broke all the VJ rules (used N/A and None incorrectly, didn't include photos with landmarks and dates). I just basically went with my gut feeling, so I might throw off the statistics.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSent in proof of ongoing relationship with petition?

Just wondering how many people sent in proof of ongoing relationship with your I-129f petition? I know it's not required or even mentioned, but I've seen some couples' websites out there that said they added some along with the required proof of meeting in the past 2 years.

Wondering what the statistics are? Thoughts?

It's simple, they're a bunch of incompetent morons. If I could, I would give up my NOA2 and give it to someone who's been waiting since March. :(

Well, our case may be completely different, or I just got lucky, or who knows. I know it's hard not to do, but you shouldn't compare your timeline to others, or you might go insane! Hang in there, it'll come!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa Photo
Yeah, have them redone. My fiance did the same thing and I asked him to retake it. I know from personal experience that they can be really picky about pictures. When I originally came to the US (back in 92), they made me retake my picture about 4 times. Than later on, when I applied for my US citizenship, they made me retake the picture as well. My sister and I applied together and got our pictures taken at the same place by the same person. Mine was rejected and hers wasn't. She was done by January, while I didn't become a citizen until July.

Sooo....retake the picture :)

I can't believe I'm going to defend her, BUT...

The timelines are really not all that helpful right now because of the madness caused by the IMBRA law. Mine used to say that I'd be approved by August 25th.

She has to be a US citizen. If I were her, I wouldn't apply until she is a citizen and has her naturalization certificate since it's required (to prove you're a US citizen).

If you get married in the UK (or anywhere else OUTSIDE of the US), she can however, petition for you as a spouse (it could take a while I hear).
