Just talked to USCIS in NY. No news on my petition, they could not even tell me if it was looked at.
But i asked them what can i do to expedite the petition.
The lady gave me a speech of the rules. And then i told her that my Fiance just got divorced.. and still lives in the same house with EX husband and the situation is not comfortable and so on. She typed it in under the "Humanitarian" criteria and said i will get an answer by April 4th. She also said that Electronic system is updated every 30 days. I assume that they update at the end of the month. That would make sense when some people get their NOA2 before the electronic confirmation. I guess will have to wait till April 1st to see if we have been entered in the system.
I don't know if expediting will help or delay... at this point i will try anything to speed up the process. devil.gif

I just wonder if this is a false hope.. if the time cut here now.. maybe the wait is longer on the consulate end?... olthough it should not matter.
Just feels uncomfortable when I do not know the time line.

Danu, i called to snoop around and get a feel for what and how they do things. In reality i felt stupid asking questions i got no answer for. She just told me that mu number is real and i was in the system. The case is being "processed" no news of eny other kind. The wait a agonizing only because we do not know. All we know .. that we are in the system.
It sucks also because we cannot judge our own time line with work, travel and everything else that is connected to K-1.
We sit and wait. and wait.. and sit.. a sometimes we drink beer in the process innocent.gif

"If you expect it, it probably won't come!" - i am to much of a realist for that.

And California needing money.. maybe.. except they are FEDERAL EMPLOYEES... not state.
Our money gets to Obama faster then Arnold can say " I BE BACK ".
I think you probably partially correct. They will collect from every source possible. Why shouldn't it be I-129F people.
Maybe they will realize that faster processing times = more revenue as we will tel others how fast it was.
Sort of - word of mouth advertising. Any other ideas?

Just talked to California center. they gave me generic answers of processing time of 6 month.
No answers on why some people get it in 13 days and some wait 67 month.
They said every case is different. And the lady said that she has not heard of 13 day or a month processing.
I have registered online.. and the system is overloaded she said and will not be fixed till my case is over.
so i have no idea how people see their TOUCHES. The only thing she said is to sit and wait.

Now that SUCKS big time. mad.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan I-129 be filed without knowing the finace's divorce date
Hello everyone.
I am just about to start putting together the Initial I-129F application.. and reading it i have noticed that it is asking for the divorce date.
Well in My case, My Fiance just filed for a divorce that should end March 3rd. Can i still file the I129F without knowing the real divorce date?. Looking at the time line the dates should overlap.
I want to thank everyone for the enormous amount of information on this site.

The old naturalization certificate has the "A" number they ask for in 129-F and G-325A Do i use that field or leave it blank?
They do ask for it at the top and the bottom of the page.
I do have a valid US passport.

Gary, i understand what you are saying. And i think you ate right about Ukraine.. it is difficult.
The guy was talking about Russia and Kazakstan. Two guys yesterday went and got a visa to travel, no strings attached.
They were talking them in to a 3 year visa that cost more money. Those two do no know each other. under 30 years old. and had nothing holding them there. Maybe something is changing?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTourist VISA during the wait for K1.
I understand the law, and i do understand what you are saying. But there is no avoiding the law. Maybe i am dense from all this waiting. the F129 is already in the process. At the embassy... they ask you fro your intent/ reason of going to the states. You tell em you going to visit your fiance. If they grant you a visa, they automatically give you a green light to do what you want. If they deny the visa, then you dont lose anything. I think there is a loop hole in the law here. After filing the i129F you not hiding anything. The intent to marry is in the open. Then it becomes another lottery. If they say NO then you wait. If they say Yes... you may go back to the your home embassy for a visit., or it may fly.. I guess i dont understand where the law would be broken when there is no deception at all.

I know that's why lawyers make lots of money.. they understand this better then I do unsure.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTourist VISA during the wait for K1.
Why would i want to log off?. It is only logical. I don't see anything illegal about it. Look. we have to wait anyway. We applied only for 120F not for permanent stay. That process still goes on. But there is nothing to stop anyone from moving in and out of the country. If people want to visit they still can as i understand. i understand that it can be is complicated but not illegal. You are the one who is paying the money and submitting a petition. Its not just the wait... it is not knowing-that what gets to most people.

I was told by a friend of mine that he got his Fiance in to the US on tourist Visa after he has filed the I-129F.
They gave her the tourist visa and she never left. They got married here and went through paperwork after they got married here.
The only thing i see here as the Treasury department wins extra money. No one loses. Another thing i have heard that tourists visas are being given out like a newspaper.. that is extra money too..
Would like to hear your opinions.

USCIS Service CentersConfused about I-864
QUOTE (Jandy @ Mar 15 2008, 07:06 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello everybody,


We're new to this. But my wife is from French Polynesia, and I'm a us citizen. We filed I-130, I-765, I-140, I-485, G-325 and the medical examination.
We didn't file I-864 (which we should have done sad.gif ), because when we read I-485, it said that I-864 should be submitted if the beneficiary 's aos was based on an entry as K-1 fiancee. But my wife came here as a F-1 student, and still is.

Before mailing the forms, we went to the local office (Honolulu), and asked them if these were the only forms to be sent, and they said yes. What we filled out was all correct etc.

So everything was mailed except the sponsor thingie to Chicago on march 1st. But we got our first notices for I-130, I-765 and I-485 on march 13th. And we guess that our case was transfered to MO since it was sent from there instead of Chicago.

So my question is : is it going to affect our case if I-864 wasn't sent along with the other forms? Or should we just send it anyway to Chicago? Or are they going to send us a notice concerning this form? (But we are thinking that it might not have been a problem because we should have got a notice on the same day as the other ones telling us that the I-864 was missing etc)...or should we wait?

Before getting our first notices, we called the immigration and they said that we should get our notice in 30-45 days concerning the I-864...But since we got our notices, we will call them again later on, and see what they will say about it.

We know that you guys didn't forget to send that sponsor thingie, but any advice concerning that will be really helpful...

thank you

Bob and Jessica



You should have sent the I-864 Affidavit of support together with AOS, I know how mis-informing people at USCIS in general can be, sorry to hear that... Like everybody said don´t send anything if not required because it will most likely just get lost, if needed you will probably receive a RFE (Request for evidence) over this I-864 and then is the time to send it... Maybe you will get lucky and won´t receive any RFE´s and you can just bring the filled I-864 to the AOS interview!
Best luck!
