K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFinally sent I-129F
Like other poster said it changes some from country to country depending on the embassy. We just sent a letter signed by each of us saying we intend to marry, and I sent her a new letter of intent for her to take to embassy with her. Good Luck sounds like you covered about all you can now just have to sit and wait. No1 isnt bad but Noa2 seems like years even tho it was only a little over 4 months for us. Everything sped up after we got Noa2 and moved pretty fast.

Yep bithcertificate will be fine. I sent both but I used the passport as part of my proof of having meet, The passport was stamped showing I was in the Philippines to go with other evidence. I kind of did over kill on evidence with photos, plane tickets, photos, etc . Good Luck to you.

once you get noa1 or in some cases you can get your case number off the back of you check if your bank gives you that information. once you have that number you creat a long in on uscis site https://egov.uscis.g...VEa9pkFb22hq06r you can put your case number in on that link or register at this link https://egov.uscis.g...ectusertype.jsp for updates. Once you have that done you can check the status of your case and sign up for email alerts. When they work on your case as the service center or move the file for some reason they scan the bar code on the folder your case is in. When ever they do this you can see activity, it will only so like a date and will not tell what they were doing but that is what is called a touch. I hope i explained this ok. Good Luck

Your correct Noa2 day is a big day or it was for us. I checked online the day we got update, i was so use to seeing pending I almost closed the page before i realized it said approved. I then jumped out of my chair ran around the house and called Radz on the phone even though it was like 3 am there and woke her up but she was so happy she didnt mind me waking here. Good Luck and hope you all will have simular events soon.

If its any help the USCIS website had been acting up for the last few months. Lots of people got approved for Noa2 and got them in the mail and there status shows pending. Like the others said you have your Noa1 so your ok. I dont have much confidence on the USCIS website the processing dates are not correct, and the infromation on the login site seems to work at best half the time and who knows how much of it is correct when its working. Good Luck to everyone and Happy New Year

Hey guys...

Just checking in.

Havent recieved the NOA 1 yet (it's probably sitting in David's mail whilst he is in Miami seeing family) but they cashed the check pretty quickly (cleared within 3 days of the package recieved by VSC)

Ya know....I have never wanted a number SOOOOO badly :-)

Its most likely because more people are finding the site and adding the time lines. If someone who filed before you joins VJ and adds there time line it will move you down the list, but its nothing to be concerned about. Good Luck everyone.

Im thinking middle of Jan the service centers will fire up and start putting out approvals, they are behind now because of the holidays so they will need to make up ground lost. I wish you all Good Luck in the new year and hope you all get your Noa2's in a timely manor.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecember '08 Vermont K-1 Filers
I remember we were so happy when we got Noa1. It wasnt appearnt to us at that point that the journey to Noa2 would be a long one, It seems the few months are a enterinty, but this site does help talking to others who are feeling the same things you are, you end up supporting each other on days when one of you are down, then maybe a few days or week later, you get support when you feel that nothing is going on and feel so helpless and sometimes think USCIS has lost your file or nothing is happening and you just get depressed. You see others getting Noa2 and even people weeks after you getting approved, but then the magic day you get your Noa2 you are on top of the world. That time period had been tuff, now you wait for you file to go to NVC and next to the embassy so you can get a interview date. This all moves much faster (or it did for us) and soon your forget the worries of waiting for Noa2, but still have sad feelings for some of your friends you have made here maybe havent gotten there Noa2. But next you worry about the medical, I didnt realize we would get so stressed over that, then worry about passing interview. But none of those are as bad as that wait for Noa2, or wasnt for us. So stay cheerful best you can and be thankful for this site where you at least know you are not alone and others have the same concerns and worries, You at least have information that helps make it through this ruff period. Good Luck to you all. Merry Christmas

Thanks Carolina and Jordan, Radz went to the interview this morning Manila time and is finished now and approved. I really dont have much more information she made a quick phone call to me to tell me we are approved and then she started packing to go to friends house until she flys home tomorrow.

Hello everyone, just wanted to drop by and say hello. This group will be one of the best things going or at least that was the way with the june filers for me. Everyone picks one another up when there down and you get support from people who are having the same feelings you do. For us it got stressfull around the time we were expecting our NOA2, but after that everything moves at a much faster pace. It was just the long wait for NOA2 that was the worst. After NOA2 there wasnt much stress until Radz when to medical this week, I felt so helpless just waiting to hear the results. Im sure i will go through that again Friday when she goes to embassy for the interview. basicly I just wanted to say this is a great place to hang out waiting on NOA2 and lots of good advice and friends can be made. I cant imagine going through this completely in the dark having no idea what is going on. Well Good Luck to all the Dec filers, i wish you a swift journey and Merry Christmas smile.gif

Dont give them the passport, i just made a copy of mine. You will need you passport. As far as originals go you can give copies of most docutments because you will need them again when you file adjustment of status, I just give my fiance a certified copy of my birth cert and divorce papers.

your correct most states requir a social security number before they will issue a marriage license. The safest thing is to get the SSN before trying to get the license. Here in Tennesse they passed a law that if you dont get marriage counseling before you get the marriage licnse the cost of the license is a lot more. Well good luck July filers

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAnyone here who didn't have to pay for DV? is it mandatory?
On the Embassy page its listed that you are encouraged to pay the fee, its currently 650p, thats really not very much money and I dont think I would want to take a chance on delaying the process by not paying the fee, below is what is listed on the embassy page:

n order to avoid unnecessary delay in the visa issuance process, the U.S. Embassy in Manila strongly encourages applicants in the categories mentioned above to pay the document verification fee prior to their immigrant visa interview. Payment can be made through any Metrobank location. The cost of the document verification is PhP 650 per applicant. For specific instructions on how to pay the document verification fee, please click here. If you are unable to pay for the document verification before your immigrant visa interview, you may be asked to pay the fee on the day of your interview. Please note that if you pay on the day of your interview, there will be a delay of one to two weeks in the processing of your application.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurescan somebody explain to me about cfo seminar please?
My fiance is in Bansalan near Digos not to far from Davao and she is planing on doing CFO between medical and interview. I think you have to have the visa before they give you the stamp but they do give you a certificate which you return after you get visa and show the certificate and they put stamp showing you attended. That is the way i understand it anyway. Here are some links about CFO

Manila: http://www.cfo.gov.ph/fs_manila.htm

Cebu: http://www.cfo.gov.ph/fs_cebu.htm

I hope this helps. Good luck
