If your lawyer is a little sloppy, why did you hire her?

Call your lawyer, most likely, the first notice of action would have gone to her office as she is the lawyer of record. Find out if she just hasn't been updating you.



well i have a union job and the lawyer is one of the benefits that comes with the job..and i already started the process so i dont really want to start over..i just want this to be over..and i know im being impatient...but if i saw a little progress it would make me feel a little better..

One thing you might look at is how you paid for the app, is the payment form something you can track, that might help with you being stressed and show a little progress to you.

Sincerely,

I paid for the application with a personal check...i saw my bank statement and the check was cashed on april 29th...

Have you received any notice from the USCIS that they received your application. If you have, then you can go to the USCIS web site and look up your case number, which is on the notice. Six weeks to wait is not a very long time at all, even for Vermont.

It will really help us to help you, if you would fill out your timeline.

If you have a case number, you can also sign up for email notification. That lets you know when someone has done something to your file.



I recieved a notice about 7 weeks ago that said that the check amount was incorrect . and to correct it...the lawyer had originally given me the wrong amount...so i re sent it and thats the last i heard of it...the reason for my concern is that i heard that the approval or denial comes within 4 to 6 weeks..as for the timeline , i just joined and didnt even know about it..

Byron, you'll be fine. There are many, many couples here who have sent in K1s after days of meeting. As long as you can prove a bonafide and ongoing relationship, USCIS won't deny your petition. They're not concerned about the length of time behind a relationship as long as you can prove that it's genuine. :)

NOA2s take time and you just need to hang tight and stay patient.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Waiting Time

I got my NOA2 on the 18th of may and still no sign of my case at the NVC.
I called almost everyday since then and they have most of the times, been very rude to me.
Yesterday I called and the guy told me to read the noa2 letter for him!!! Can you believe it????
My fiance got it, he sent me a pic of it, so I was able to get it, and while I was looking for it in my documents, and told him to wait a second he said sarcastically "you didnt receive anything, did you?" like I was lying to him!!!
He made me read it and then said the NVC could take up to 90 days to process my case, and no sign of it yet.
ARGHHHHHHH what´s going on with them??? And what the hell is this way of talking to us??
Its been 39 days. =(
Anyone else experiencing it??


Atleast you got a response...its been 7 weeks since i sent my stuff in , and since they cashed my check and i have no responses whatsoever

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsConfused??

I've heard this scenario before and there is some truth to it, but not for a K-1. Before the Adam Walsh act about 6 months ago, going DCF was the quickest route to a visa. If everything was assembled, a 1-2 month wait to visa was doable. Unfortunately I no longer believe this is the case due to Adam Walsh, and the new process is not nearly as quick. I'm not an expert on DCF, but the posts I've read on VJ about it seem to be inline with what you have heard.


I think when it comes down to it we all want to find the magical way to expedite this process...im hope and pray for all of us that this goes fast and smooth!!!!!!!! and you are right i need "paciensia"...unfortunately , i dont have any!!!!!!!!!! by the way deron, its true i nhave heard from so many that they did it in such short time, but who knows how long ago and how true it is...one of my employees married his wife in Colombia 2 yrs ago and she was here in NY in less than 2 months...i could only beg and wish to be that lucky

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsConfused??

Well...........how long ago was it? There was a time when immigration was a lot faster and easier.


i dont know what to believe anymore.....as far as how long ago it was , i will know later tonight when my fiance finds out...i also know an attorney generalin bogota colombia which i hope has some influence.... :(


unless the lawyer is paying off people at USCIS (highllllly unlikely), then no. lawyers have no special powers in this process. no special hotline, no special access. nada.

when your case reaches the state department stage (NVC or the Embassy) it's possible you might be able to get help from a congressman/woman. until then, however, sadly, it's hurry-up-and-waits-ville. there's pretty much no way around it.

there are always odd cases here and there that somehow manage to shoot through in record time, usually for no good reason. but i wouldn't get your expectations too high. it IS a frustrating and slow process. you'll make, though.


It is a frustrating process but i guess what doesnt break you will only make you stronger..thank you all for all your great advice and comforting

Just be careful with what information is given to you. Everyone (not on this site...but in my world...lol) told me all kinds of things. I'm a researcher and gathered enough information to be able to do it the right way and not make any mistakes. (I found VJ after I sent in my petition...:( ) Just we very careful and take your friend's information with a grain of salt and do your own research. Maybe they DO know someone that can get you moved up on the interview docket or something. I don't know. Just make sure you know what you're doing before you do it. And if you do find out a secret formula.....bring in to us!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck!

Best advice, never listen to hearsay. no ones case is the same, and no ones case will be determined to a deffinate time of approval and arrival. dont get your hopes up on what her friends say, they are not going thru the process, you and your fiance are. if you listen to other ppl, you will get hopes up and when they dont meet your expectations, you will be disappointed.
good luck on your journey

There must have either been extenuating circumstances in that case, or it was a completely different visa type. And it may have also been pre 9/11.

There are very few ways to expedite a K1 case (for example, a military person who is about to deploy).


from what in was told there was nothing out of the ordinary...i think it was just knowing someone on the inside...which she is trying to find out...supposedly all they wanted to know was wether he had a car and property

this is really horrible. this is what you get being a citizen. our politicians are busy serving non-citizens/corporations interests and the USCIS is busy processing all kinds of visas such as H-1 visas and all. we are talking about our citizens getting marrried and having a life. there should NOT be this unjustifiabe delay for this. pl. write to your congressman and senators on this. pl. write to them and call them asking for expediated processing of K1 visa petitions. only if more us complain, something positive can come out of this. current delay in K1 petition processing is totally unfair to the citizens of this country.

again, we all should call our congressman and senators and complain about the unjustifiable delay in the processing of the K1 visas. thank you.

This is horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is killing me...what do we do...it is so out of our hands...feel so helpless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crying:


If this helps I spoke to our attorney about this stating that it had said that the processing times that were posted on June 18th were for December 14th relative to K1's at the Vermont Service Center. He stated that he feels this is incorrect. We filed on 24 April and have been worrying for 88 days, well today would you not know...case updated 17 July. Our case has been in limbo with not even a touch in Vermont until today. The wait from stage 1 getting to stage 2 is tough.

I am right. That doesn't mean your case can't take that full time they post, but it means it isn't likely to.

As for the fees, as discussed ad naseum around the board: the fees are meant to maintain current service levels. there's no guarantee that anything will speed up. But at least they shouldn't slow down and grow the kind of backlog that used to exist.


This process is definately taking yrs off my life!!!!!!!!!! :wacko:

Ignore that website. It is useful only if you end up waiting 6 months and need to go for big-guns help. The real average processing times (as of Feb, anyway - and the continuing service levels) is around 2.9 months.

They post that 6 month lag time processing time to cover their arses and prevent crazed phone calls from filers before things are truly delayed.

Though imperfect, VJ timelines and data are far more representative of real-life processing times.

edit to add: if you check back on that site in a month, you'll notice the date will move to about exactly one month later than it says now. Each month, move a month. It just marches along the calendar in 6 month intervals.


I hope your right!!! these processing times are insane that they put !!!!!!!!


For the way they are raising prices on every immigration process, you would think the level of service would be better

From what I understand, that is the reasoning behind the fee increase..to hire more staff. I've read somewhere on here that there is a document stating what the fee increases are supposed to be used for, but I don't know where it is. I have read that they are upgrading their system too. that should help I'm sure. Look around the Immigration News and Discussion threads. There may be more information there.

Seriously, bombarding your congressman with calls of "this is taking too long" and "why isn't my petition being looked at" isn't going to help.

Send them a letter. Make recommendations as to how they can streamline the system. More employees? Better system? Make the instructions more clear for people? Sure. Get someone "higher up" to forward the letter, if you think that'll help.

But calling won't help in the long run when any major issues start appearing and you actually need the help of your congressman who will just think you're crying wolf again.


I think that many are misunderstanding me....when i say call its not o complain...its to bring to light that they do need a better system..like you said , maybe hire more staff...and other things that might improve everything for all of us.
