K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2013 filers?

Hi

 

 

my fiance and I are November filers as well :)

 

We got our NOA1 two weeks ago when our case was transferred to California. I just checked our case online on the uscis homepage and it says that Nov. 21st a RFE was send out. argh. So now we gotta wait till be get the hard copy in the mail (I guess cuz of Thamksgivign it might take a while).

 

I am super nervous, well I am the woman, and my fiance is relaxed, he is not worried.

 

I try to stay calm by telling mysel that maybe it is a good sign that we got the RFE. I mean, it means that someone looked at it already, right :)?

 

I really hope for all of us that we'll get our visa super soon.

 

We are hoping to get married in June and I'd like to be in the US a little before that to plan and arrange things :)

I collected mine from the courier depot as I worked every day. Saved a few ££££'s

 

Could you collect on a Saturday, Paul? 

 

I addressed mine to my parents and got it delivered to their address. I figured I'd spend more than £19 for the return trip to the nearest depot.

Did you get an email to let you know a delivery date/time?

 

I did. An email came yesterday with a code. I checked online and it says it's being delivered today. Mine seems slower than others but it was memorial day on Monday and a Bank Holiday in the UK. the US consulate in London shuts down for both US and UK holidays. Must be a great place to work!


England2WiscoNot TellingUnited Kingdom2014-05-30 04:17:00

Anyone know how long you can expect to wait for your visa to be returned from the consulate after your interview?  :clock:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary 2014 Filers

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I am so glad everyone responds right away, I will be giving her my taxes for the last 3 - 5 years.

 

I have one fear, I was married previously and got divorced last year. We connected after that. Are there other couples who were in similar situations and did they meet any hurdles from the consulate. What kind of questions did they ask? Did they need more evidence

 

I got a clean bill of divorce from the judge and me and my x wife are good in all terms. Please advise. Thanks

 

We're quick because we're all online talking to our partners :)

 

They did ask me if my partner has ever been married. But that's as far as we got as neither of us have. I'm sure it'll be ok, as long as you have the divorce certificate, or some evidence.

Thanks Texasav8r. I have a few more questions.

 

1. Based on my questions, how much longer should I expect to get the NOA2.

2. Do you have a list of questions they could possibly ask during the interview, I have taken the list of ***removed***, I am looking for curve ball questions. Please advise if you need to know more about us to give better questions

3. I will be giving my paystubs, letter of employment from company with the affidavit of support, do I need to give anything else?

4. I did go to the timeline and put my info, I still don't see the bar the way everybody else has at the end of each message.

 

Thanks in advance for your answer

 

1. It's variable. 

2. I was asked where we met, when we met, what she does for a living, how long she's been at her job, when did she move back to America, how many times we've seen each other since she's been back, and when do we intend to marry.

3. Tax returns...

4. No idea.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary 2014 Filers

On the 15th of April the US embassy in London send a letter of scheduling my interview for the 7th of May, unfortunately this was sent to our lawyer in the states who due to the US postal system did not receive it till the 9th of May. They sent no email to me or the lawyer despite it being stated on our forms. 

 

So... you can see we have a predicament. I've tried my hardest to speak to someone at the embassy in London but there is NO ACTUAL WAY YOU CAN SPEAK TO A HUMAN BEING. 

 

Any advice will be appreciated....

Have you heard anything back about your interview date? I'm going through London and it didn't take very long at all!

 

 

No nothing... :-(

Did you have to send a cover letter with readyness form ?? 

 

 

I have no idea. Our lawyer sent it off. But I guess it couldn't hurt, better to than to not.

Have mine on Friday ;-) any thing i should know ?? Also have you done ds-160 and readiness form ??

Paul

Hi Paul

 

No it's really easy to get to. Just off from Bond Street station (if you're at the Mansions place). 

 

They take a chest x-ray, take blood for syphilis testing, check ears, mouth, eyes, heart, blood pressure, breathing, they will check your injections and if you're not up to date they will do them in-house. You do have to get a little naked though so be prepared. 

 

As for the DS-160 and the 'readiness' form. Yes, our lawyer has done all that for us, as soon as the NOA2 came pretty much! 

 

There was a guy from Crewe in the UK in the surgery on Monday, doing the medical for a K1. Would be interested to know if he's on here.

I received packet three last Friday from London Embassy, not much of a 'packet', more a letter!

 

I'd like to know how long the wait time for an interview is too, my medical is booked for beginning of April.

Wow ok. I've booked my medical but not received anything. How do you know when the embassy has received it? Did you pester them to get your packet 3?


England2WiscoNot TellingUnited Kingdom2014-03-26 10:44:00

I've scheduled my medical exam  - woo! Does anybody know the wait time from submitting applicant readiness form to getting an interview? 

 

Any UK submitters received packet three yet?

Hello everyone

 

So last Monday our documents were sent to London consulate. I've been checking on https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/ but it keeps coming up with the message "Your search did not return any data."

 

Does anyone know why this would be? It is likely that our case no. is incorrect? 


England2WiscoNot TellingUnited Kingdom2014-03-10 08:21:00

Don't worry friend. It's waiting for the London embassy that's the longest! They are very efficient, but also the busiest.

NOA1 received in the post today after submitting on the 3rd January. Transferred to California. 

 

Keep being patient friends. It's a small time apart relative to the lifetime together. Absence makes you realise how valuable your significant other is.

I have no idea what to think at this point. :crying:

We got touches last week, on the 2 nd and on the 3 rd. Since then a complete silence. It' s been a week now and nothing still. :crying:

I read stories where people got touches and received their NOA 2 hardcopy directly in their mailbox ( without the case status being changed online to a post - activity decision or without receiving any emails / texts ) . Another possibility could be the USCIS doing more background checks on the case. Another possibility could be the adjudicator being off from work for 10000 reasons . . . :crying:

This wait and suspense is killing me ! :blush:

Potpuno te razumijem. Nama je bilo grozno kad smo dobili RFE, ali smo preživjeli i do?ekali odobrenje. Bitno je ne izgubiti živce i ne predvi?ati kad ?eš dobiti odobrenje, nego biti strpljiv jer ništa ne možeš napraviti. To što se mijenja datum zna?i kako rade po vašem caseu. Obi?no brzo nakon tog do?e i odobrenje, ali budi strpljiva. Ovo je težak proces i treba imati puno snage za sve to. :star:
Držim ti fige! :thumbs:


Thank you very much for your encouraging words ! I admire your patience and strength ! :)

Hej, držim ti fige...samo moraš biti strpljiva i sve ?e do?i. Mi smo se na?ekali, ali na kraju smo dobili NOA2. I ti ?eš! :star:
Sad ?ekamo da NVC pošalje papire u Zagreb. Nadam se kako ?e to biti brzo.

Drži se i nema depresije...ne smiješ si to dopustiti. ?eka te još puno tog. Californija radi puno brže od Vermonta i odobrava November filerse, što je u Vermontu veliki problem, dakle imaš sre?e. :thumbs:
Bit ?e sve u redu.


Hvala ti puno, stvarno ! Drago mi je ?uti rije?i nekog koji ide skroz istu situaciju ! Tako sam se veselila utorak i srijedu zbog toga što se nama je datum promijenio na USCIS - u a poslije ništa više. Sad nemogu da prekinem da se brinem. Sutra po?inje novi tjedan i vidi?emo kako bude. :blush:

Super, NVC kaže da je neka ekspresna stanica. Nadam se da ?e sve da stigne u Zagreb kako treba i brzo. A onda ?eš da tr?iš i se pripremaš za finale. :)
