K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2013 K-1 Filers

On Wednesday our status on USCIS was updated:
 
"On October 16, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly."
 
 
Does anybody know how long does it take to get to NVC and when we should call them for a case number?




TSC and Vermont usually sends them to NVC faster than CSC. Ours took 6 weeks. We started calling NVC after a month from our NOA2 approval date.

You may want to check in the immigration timelines tab above and check on K1 visa timelines, stats and trend.

Just called NVC and finally have our case number. Our NOA2 approval is Sept 03. So those who have the same timeline as mine, you may want to call NVC to finally get your case number. I know how long we have all been waiting for this... Again, goodluck to all!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2013 K-1 Filers


hello guys

like a week ago USCIS said on their web site that the beneficiary has to take 3 different forms at his/her interview:  

DS 156

DS 156K

DS 230

i just checked their site again and they have cancelled DS 230, its not there any more.

so we need to fill out just DS 156 and DS 156K?

thanks much



They have a new Ds-230 with 2015 expiry... http://www.state.gov...ation/81807.pdf

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNeed info to file for a CR-1 for my beautiful and loving Filipina wife

yes its a printable record for Vonage. Should I send both printable records and my snapshot of the printable record I am just afraid that they might not take the printable and downloadable records because it can be altered by using Microsoft word

Hi Jesse. I read about your story. My brother was the beneficiary for CR-1 and it took them about 12 mos considering they already have children ( twin daughter, 2 years old ), also from the phils and california service center.

About vonage, try to check if it could give you a pdf file instead of excel. We are on K1 application and already had approval though I am using magic jack instead of vonage. (We used cordia before however Magic Jack plus is better since I do not have to open my PC or laptop to use it and its cheaper). Cordia and Magic Jack provides pdf files and excel for call logs so I was thinking probably vonage also offers the same. We included the magic jack call logs as one of iur conversation evidence. We made sure to include the subscription/payment information so this supplements the claim of conversing via magic jack in your case via vonage.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOnly met in person once, opinions?

I was wondering how many of you guys only met your fiance/fiancee in person once before filing? Did it cause any issues? 

 

I was planning a trip around December to Dubai, but I just moved across the country and got a new job. I won't even bother asking for any time off til 6mo. plus working there and by then I'll have already filed. My thing is, I met my fiance while still legally married (still am, thanks to custody/military/waiting times) so I was wondering should I maybe delay filing to add another visit post divorce being final/more in person proof to our case? What do you guys think? I don't really want to delay anything though...it has already been 5mo since we saw each other sad.png

 

I can most likely make it there for the interview/week before interview if that helps at all. I was planning for that at the very least for moral support. 

 

 I see no problem if you met only once, in general, it should be within the past two years before you filed the petition, in your case just 5 mos has past. You just have to prove that your relationship is bonafide. Include all evidences as much as you can ( chat log, call log, pictures, boarding pass, passport stamps, etc. )

 

Being there for the interview, is a good idea after having your petition approved.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOur newborn baby was not listed on our K-1 Petition and We Just Recieved Our NOA2. What Can We Do?

Good Morning My Friends

 

 

I'm just looking for some advice. My Fiancée and I filed our petition on July 15th 2013. She was pregnant at the time so the baby couldn't be listed on the petition. We had the baby Sept 3rd.

 

 

We received our NOA2 on Sept 21st . I know I could report the birth to the embassy, but there are not appoints available for the rest of the year, and I want to get them both here as soon as possible.

 

 

What my question is , Is it possible to add the baby to my fiancée?s petition after we received our NOA2. If so, how, and would it delay our process.

 

 

Thank you for your help. This forum has just been invaluable to us during this process.

 

 

Marc

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion I-134
Supposedly it should be 1099 however 2013 is not yet for filing so only your W2 2012. You may want to include a copy of your bank statements, etc.
