This is a great question.

I hope to be approved and have him in the US w us by Oct but I'm thinking through to worst case hopefully Jan! Planning a colder wedding which is ok because it gives me time to lose some more baby weight...I'd love to get married on the beach though so we might have a real wedding an exact year later on the island. I'd love that.
We are planning our honeymoon too because he won't be able to leave the US so maybe we will go see California (Nappa Valley etc) althoughayne that's too far since we will have to bring the baby. Lol if not maybe a tour of the south? Not sure yet. Sucks that we can't fly out.

Basically I just want him here. I want to snuggle on the couch watching tv and make him dinner and have him make breakfast...etc.... All the mundane little things in a relationship. I miss him every second of every day. Thank God for Skype so he can see a lot of the baby as he changes week to week. Still- my biggest wish is that he's here for our sons first birthday in August. I know. Never going to happen but if I found a genie lamp...lol

Sigh

my NOA1 date was 02/03/2014...so a week before yours...hang in there..yesterday I thought I will have to wait so much more longer..and tadaaaa..here it was today.

I couldnt believe it myself, but it WILL come!obviously!
 

 

 

I am REALLY happy for you because it was awful that no one on ehere was getting any movement. This gives some hope that they are working on these at least. I dont think the week behind you matters as it seems that TSC and CSC are 2 diff worlds. They must have a great coffee machine in California. Those people are hopping. :)

 

Im going to visit my honey next week so that will definitely distract me.

Do youknow what the next steps are for you? NVC then you start calling your consulate?

 

Is there any way for any of us to randomly check WHAT month the consulates are scheduling appts for in our fiance's country or is that only accessible once we have the magic numbers? 

 

ANDdancin5hr.gif kicking.gif lets all celebrate this approval!! we all need the pick me up. LOL

Hang in there Soydeil. But honestly, my mood changes hour by hour. One hour im calm, next hour im freaking out. My fiancee the petitioner, is so much calmer.

 

Thanks Ash. Im trying. At least it looks like SOME feb filers are getting through. Fingers crossed for us all.

This whole process is just torture. From gathering data to the wait to what I'm reading about some if these interviews. I don't even know what color my own toothbrush was! I had to look. I throw them away so often so who knows, who cares, who focuses on that? We see each other for just small spurts after long months of waiting. These innocuous micro details are crazy.

I agree. I've put the timeline out of my head. We are in Texas. I'm basing it on previous posters to the same country we are filing for which seems to be one if the contributing factors to the delay.
My hopeful date for our Noa2 is midMay. Realistically we should expect midJuly before I start crying. Big fat ugly tears. I've been able to get into a good groove here of putting it aside but mostly because ill be seeing him as the baby and I are headed there next week. Ill plan our next trip as soon as I get back and that will help as that's what I usually do to handle the distance.
This is definitely one of the hardest things ever but it really does make one so sure tgat they live this person cuz WOW! Who would endure this torture. We are in limbo. It's pretty tragic but I'm looking for wedding dresses and locations. So all this is fun but its crazy not knowing the WHEN of the whole thing .

Hi everyone, I just called NVC and got our case number :-) super happy- woot woot

Sharing all the good vibes to my co february filers :-)

 

 

Wonderful news! Good luck. I have decided to put it in my calendar to start rechecking 4 months from filing date. Otherwise, I will lose my mind as I called today and because of weather the staff is cut down. Thats been this whole winter so Im sure backlog is deep at TSC. In the meantime I will be traveling to him in 16 days. then I will plan something in May/June to keep something to look forward to. I've also started thinking about the wedding which is an awesome distraction but its hard to plan when one has no clue WHEN this might take place. lol so Im focused on Nov14-Jan15. That way I've time to get things in motion a bit.  Plus I think we can do a sweet destination wedding (in DR) on our 1st anniversary to celebrate our love with his side of the family too. Maybe// maybe not depending on timing and cost of everything BUT at least its something to keep busy!

For the K1 medical they do NOT need to get vaccinated there correct? (Doesn't hurt chances?) that way we can do it here covered by my health insurance once we do AOS?

Does anyone else keep checking the case status website even thought you're signed up for alerts?! Haha I am addicted!! Luckily I'm going to see my Welshman in 20 days but I am still so anxious for this visa to go through!!

 

 

Completely obsessed and tortured. Trying to think it will take 3 months and if anything happens beforehand GREAT! but its HARD to stay witht hat in mind when youy see people getting such quick approvals here in this forum. To be fair its either from the UK, Canada, or a disaster touched country and NONE from DR which is where my fiance is coming from. The ones from there seem to average 3 months. and TSC seems to be slower and thats where we are. So Im travelling in 20 days ALSO! 9March 20 thank GOD) to spend 10 days w my honey and for our baby to remember who daddy is :( and i hope that will smooth us into Month 2 of waiting....

 

I check the site constantly and am thinking of unsubscribing to these alerts of this forum OR signing up just for a TSC/DR one. lol cuz OMG im SO happy for you guys but WOW its bitter sweet for me!!!!

It has been a week for me and I am going insane.  Definitely keeping the spirits up just have moments on occasion.  Looking forward to the never saying goodbye again.  We all are.  

 

 

We had to cancel our trip (i would stil be there now and heading back home this friday). and so now we are looking to rebook end of March maybe but flights are through the roof. Flying with a lap baby is not exactly a piece of cake for me or the travelers around me.

 

I hope and pray that the process can get easier for me because the passed 12 days have been grueling beyond words as Ive often expressed here. lol sorry all but wow its something unexplainable.

 

Why cant they just allow them here on a probationary period and then if completed then the processing continues but at least we would be with our loved ones. This was is totally inhumane. ranting33va.gif ClockWatch2.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCasablanca, You made a big mistake! :'( (merged)

You should contact the chief consul a.s.a.p and rattle their cage for a second interview yourself in addition to your representative.
 
CO's are given the discretionary umbrella of " lack of bona fide relationship " as a canned answer and that is probably the answer
you will get, no matter how many pounds of proof you haul in.
 
If they refuse to reverse their decision then your petition will be returned and expire. CSC never reaffirms returned K1's. I have not seen
any Texas service center K1 returns reaffirmed as of yet.
 
You can try another K1 but a CR1 would carry more punch.
 
I feel you on this because we are on our second k1 currently, wasted 9 months to fight it like crazy. Nothing worked.
We had the same issue with getting married due to paperwork BS with the officials. They say one thing and do another.
 
You can also do a FOIA now just in case they have a reason they did not want to reveal that you can then address
with your second petition.
 














I filed a FOIA and never got a response. My Senator also told me that because I made so many inquiries they actually held my case. I refiled a K-1 after 3 years and the 2nd time around was no problem.

I have to say I am in shock, it's not like you just met him. Are there any red flags? Does he have family in the US? Have you tried reaching the Chief Consular?

I have been down this road myself, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

yup me too basically 2015 for a wedding im still waiting on my noa 2


Looks like TSC has DR in the boiler room . WTH!?!?! Others get them in a few weeks! Total discrimination.

  

Don't feel bad about your wait. You sound just like me. I haven't received my noa2 yet and I filed July 2013 got transferred to Texas August 2014 and then in march I handed in additional information ti local Uscis office they needed. Now two weeks later still have not heard anything. My fiancé is also from fominican republic. Who knows what will happen next is right. But we have to keep the hope and know that this nightmare will be over soon. Keep me posted please.


Omg!!!!! That's outrageous!! Have you tried your senator??? I'm writing to mine (chuck Schumer/NY even though the website says they won't respond in 12weeks?!?! WHAT??????? Again such a disgusting way to treat a very important topic! I'm going to look into other avenues to see if they can see why TSC and DR are so delayed. As a citizen I expect more from all the taxes I pay.

 

Hi guys, my Fiance is also from DR.  I'm going on 4 months at the end of this month.  Hoping the NOA2 arrives soon. I received my NOA1 Dec. 30, 2013.  Its hard to plan a trip to see him again because I don't know when they might approve or schedule and interview.  Miss him dearly.


It's dreadful isn't it??? I just got back from 10 days together and I think it's even harder. I'm going back in May because our baby needs to see his father. He changes so much every week and this delay is a totally inhumane delay for no apparent reason other than back log but then WHY are they approving march before dealing with older files??? I'm outraged that 2013 cases haven't been completed ! That's awful. It's not a game it's peoples lives. Families. Mental health. Work. Everything is affected.


Hugs to all and keys keep praying they dust off the DR box and give it to someone to process! Sheeeeeeeeesh

Hola
Glad or sad expending on how u look at it, to see others in my shoes. So frustrating to see people getting approved like its going out of style from the CSC. I'm shocked at how slow this process is and how it makes zero sense in HOW they process !
Can't believe you guys have been waiting so long. It gives me no hope to have him here before our baby's first birthday but at least I can think realistically. 4-5 months for the interview in Sabtonfomingo even after the long wait for the NOA2?!?! Dios. K cosa. So basically he will be here in 2015. So I need to plan for our wedding then. What a nightmare.
