K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2010 VSC filers
July 29th NOA1...Still nothing! Called USCIS at the 180 day mark and the Immigration Officer said our petition was under review and put in a service request. Sent an email to VSC today to follow up! Hopefully we'll all get some approvals next week!

I just finished calling the USCIS call center... :bonk: after making it past the gatekeeper and waiting 30 minutes I finally talked to an Immigration Officer. He told me that we had no apparent RFE's but that we were still not out of the normal processing timeframe! :angry: NOA1 was 29 July! He told me that we should hear something by 28 January! I then calmly asked him if this was the actual date that I could call back and get more information... he replied that after 6 months we are outside of the normal processing timeframe... :blink: Call back to get more information. :wacko: I take this as wait till after 6 months to get any kind of actual assistance for your petition. :unsure: Not really good news but at least its a solid date to shoot for...instead of the usual BS answers from the call center. Hope this helps!

as of today referring to Igor's list:
http://www.visajourn...tion=3&sortby=2

all NOA1s dated July 8 or earlier are either approved NOA2 or RFE.

there is some 'spotted' approvals of later dates.

what it means: VSC is right on the 5 month mark.
for those reading from August or later NOA1 maybe a little more patience
is needed.

ours: NOA1 - July 29th - hits right in the Federal holidays ! wonderful :(

Wow! Amazing how one tab can change your outlook! Looking at the approved petitions drop down in Igor's List... and there are a lot of July NOA2's out there! Granted not all have been approved but it does show that VSC is actually moving and approving petitions!

Paul_Sasha... our NOA1 is also July 29th! :thumbs: Good luck everyone!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Help Please!
Thank you for your service! Kinda new to here too...but reading the forum and guides...your LES is your paystub so you should be good with that...you may also need your old W-2's or past tax statements. As far as the I-129F...as long as it fits in the box you should be good and won't need to have a separate page. Good Luck! Fair Winds and Following Seas!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUrgent please
It is against military rules to photocopy your Military ID card...especially after 911. (It was commomplace before that) I highly recommend not copying a Military ID. Your significant other can get in trouble.

LES(Leave and Earnings Statements) are given to service members every month. It is the military's equivalent to a paystub. Hope this helps! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresContacting USCIS - Worth it?
I called at the 4 1/2 month mark, the 5 month mark, and the 6 month mark...each time the I had the same answer.. wait 14-30 days... :blink: I called my Senator at the 5 1/2 month mark and they were told it would take two weeks and I would get an answer if not call them back afterwards. :blink: I also emailed VSC about the 5 3/4 month mark... I finally got my NOA2 the 2nd of Feb. (6 months 4 days) :dance: Feel free to call and ask the question! They can only tell you to wait! It helped me to know that I was actively trying to seek an answer... it also helped my fiancee's peace of mind also! Just be polite and ask to speak to a supervisor! Don't forget to write down who you spoke too! Good luck! Eventually the wait does end! :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFollow up NOA2

Hit our 6 months today since we sent our K1 package :crying: I called USCIS Jan.2011 and talked to HUMAN he said "no news, is good news" and to call back after 25 days to know the result, (twas yesterday Fed.15,2011) NOTHING HAPPENED!!! wanna call again today... :huh: :( :unsure: VERMONT SERVICE CENTER how long will you process our petition? :bonk: supposed to be FIFO (First IN, First OUT)

My fiance talked to a Immigration Officer and filed for Service Request.. and that's after we hit 6 months! and if you still don't have your approval.. make a follow up email on the service request..A little more patience,you'll have your approval soon!:yes:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStill waiting for the letter!
I just called NVC today and the operator told me our package was sent to USEM! :dance: Call them and ask if they received ur package. Then ask for the case number! It took about 2 weeks to go thru NVC for us! The hard copy NOA2 should get to you in about 2-3 working days! (depends on the mail) If you don't have it yet... call NVC and ask if they received it. Please update ur timeline! :D

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresno packet from Mla embassy after 2 wks

oh the customer representative also said that the "notification of eligibility" that I would receive will be sent AFTER the consul had reviewed and approved the application. May i ask if this is accurate pls? This notification of eligibility is what most people refer as the packet 3, where forms and instructions are attached? :help:

much thanks again!

Hi! I can relate to your situation because I felt neglected after 3 weeks has passed since the USEM hasn't entered our case in their system. They finally told me they found our case and I can schedule the next day! I received the eligibility letter 3 days after I was able to schedule online.

The eligibility letter will only inform you that your case is eligible to be scheduled for a visa interview, how will you schedule online and the Embassy's website for interview preparation instructions.
