Wow awesome! Now I'm worried since our packets were received the same day as yours was and I haven't heard anything yet. Can you tell me which came first the check clearing or the notification? Also, did you get notified via text or e-mail? I keep checking e-mail like a million times a day and calling bank to see if check was deposited. Sorry for all the questions, appreciate any info you have, thanks. Ugh, wish I could stop obsessing...

Glad to hear she is ok, hopefully things will get under control very soon. Now if only I could follow my own advice about being patient...lol. I keep checking my e-mails and account balance to see if check has been deposited lol. Oh well, guess it's just human nature. So difficult being apart from your soulmate...

Our petition got to Texas the same day as yours and our check hasn't been cashed yet nor have we received any e-mail or text notification. I think it's just too early to worry, we will probably hear something by the end of the week. Trust me I know it's hard but I think we have to just try to relax and be patient.
I see your fiancee is from Japan, how is she? This is such an awful tragedy and my prayers are with each and every person who is going through this horrible catastrophe. Best of luck to you both.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2. where you go????
I wasn't being rude to you and Lord knows others before me have bent over backwards to try to be as kind and supportive to you as possible but it seems no matter what anyone says you would rather wallow in self pity. Last time I checked everyone here has a fiance in another country, so you're not exactly unique. Everyone here is in love and wants desperately to start their lives with the person with whom they love dearly. Plenty of people are facing hardships and heartache. Just because most people choose to utilize their time productively and handle their heartache in an adult manner doesn't mean you are the only one yearning to be with their fiance. Some/most of us have been in relationships with our loved ones for years, let's face facts it's been 6 months since you met this girl and you're acting like a sniveling spoiled child because you need to have her NOW. Get a grip, get over your tantrums and let's hope the visa comes before your nervous breakdown.
mimi and seanFemaleCanada2011-06-15 15:25:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2. where you go????
Darren I've read all of your posts and I rarely post anything but I can't sit back any longer. Obviously you have been extremely hurt in your past relationship, and you are still suffering from the emotional pain you endured. However I think you are directing this pain towards the visa process rather then taking the time to heal your old wounds. Maybe you should take this waiting period and use it to repair yourself, get some therapy to make yourself whole again rather then trying to rush things that can't be rushed. Turn this experience into a positive instead of a negative. It is so much easier to look to another person to make you whole but in reality we must be at peace with ourselves and our pasts in order to succeed at the next relationship. Instead of obsessing on this process and trying to change things that are beyond your scope and power, maybe you should work on dealing with your own personal obstacles so that you can be your best for your fiance when she gets here. I have been through a horrible marriage, 15 years of domestic violence, I've been spit on and thrown out of my home with my 2 small children taking only what I could carry with nowhere to go and no money and suffered enormous emotional damage, trust me I understand the pain and loneliness you have felt. But you know what, I picked myself up, dusted myself off and worked on healing myself when it would have been so much simpler to turn to the first person that showed me some kindness and consumed myself by them. Maybe you have gotten lucky and found your soulmate, maybe she is your reward for living through so much unhappiness, but Darren, you have to have patience, you have to deal with this situation in a level headed manner, and you have to stop thinking you and your fiance are the only ones in this situation. It's hard for all who are waiting, noone understands how hard this is like the people who are trying to support you here, so look inside yourself and get to the heart of your anger and frustration. Use this process to your benefit, you can't control the length of time this process takes but you can control how you choose to utilize the time you spend on this journey. Good luck.

We are doing a destination wedding at a small resort in Puerto Rico. Nothing big as it is a second wedding for both of us and we both like the idea of after all this stress just relaxing on the beach for a bit. The good news is that the resort said they can help us plan everything within a month of the wedding so seems that is the route we are taking. smile.gif

Has everyone's wedding plans changed as often as mine have? I think I've planned about 25 different weddings in the last 6 months, everything keeps changing based on how long Im having to wait for the NOA-2.

We have almost (99% sure) decided to post pone our wedding to New Years Eve. We were originally hoping for October 17, but if we choose New Years, this actually takes a lot of pressure off of well, everything. As much as we wish we could still plan for October, it's just cutting it too close.

Just thought I'd share this with y'all because changing the wedding date actually feels more of a relief than I thought it would. Less pressure, more time to plan, pack, move, etc. I'm not checking my email for the NOA-2 like a crazy woman any more. Well, at least, not as often smile.gif

Glad to hear you were taken care of in Denmark Missy.

I have not looked to see where the people who are already approved are from... But I do remember in the February group that it seemed like Florida was last...I remember the florida filers talking about that.

if you look at it, its huston, texas, NC,,,mexico,just seems to me maybe they do them by state, dont know.....and im glad im not in florida if that was the case with FEB,,,,,going to investigate the FEB approved list to see if that was the case with the 1st approvals.

Hmm I haven't paid much attention to that yet, but it sure would be interesting if that was the case! Hopefully it wouldn't matter where a person was located though. I suppose it doesn't matter too much as long as we're all getting timely approvals kicking.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC FEES/ VISA VALIDATION PERIOD

1) yes each person or child being interview will cost $350 and that is paid to the US Embassy in which ever way they require ( either payment at a bank or directly at the embassy)
2)the children get a visa valid for 6 months meaning they have six months to get to the US similarly to the k1 visa. also if they are follow-to join they have one year from the date the K1 visa was issued to request an interview and get a k2 visa issued- after that one year window they are no longer eligible for a k2

i hope that answered your questions


Thanks for your response.
What is the procedure to request the K2 visa within the one year window? Is there a specific form to file?.
Thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC FEES/ VISA VALIDATION PERIOD
Hello All

I did some readings on US Dep OF State website http://travel.state....es_2994.html#16
but not clear about some issues.
I have 2 set of questions.

"K – Fiance(e) or Spouse of U.S. citizen category visa: $350.00"Us Dep of State website.
Does dependent(s)K2 recipient(s) also pay the same amount each? Assuming Fiancee applied with 2 children, Will the 3 visas
(ONEK1+TWO K2)processing fees be ($340.00x3)=$1020?. Are fees always paid to NVC or also at designated consulate at time of interview?

"Your children may travel with (accompany) you to the United States or travel later (follow-to-join). Like you, your children must travel within the validity of their K-2 visas. Separate petitions are not required if the children accompany or follow to join you within one year from the date of issuance of your K-1 visa." Us Dep of State website.
Usually k1 visa is valid for six (6) months.In other words recipient has six month to enter US. Will children traveling later (follow-to-join) get a k2 visa valid for a year? or travel later (follow-to-join)dependent should go back to consulate @ later date to get his her K2 visa?
I will ready appreciate your answers
Thanks

crs is correct, your senator can't do anything to help you until you are past the processing times, which the last time I checked were January 30th.

There are a bunch of people from May still waiting if you look on Igor's list, so hopefully yours will come in the next week or 2!

SapphireDreamsFemaleCanada2008-10-18 21:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 Visa process time
Their processing times mean that it could take 6 months for them to approve your petition. If you wait longer than 6 months, then you can contact them to get further information.

They used to put a date on there, and that meant that they were processing applications from that date onwards, so if your date was within that time frame you just have to wait basically.
