K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsStatus of K1?
And just to be clear, at this stage, it's not the K1 visa you're checking up on. It's the I 129f petition. You (or your fiancee - not sure which of you is the Canadian) do not apply for the visa until the approved petition makes its way to the consulate.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat to do after NOA 1 to get ready for an interview?
If their police certificates are only good for 3 months, then I'd wait a bit closer to the time you're expecting NOA2 - if not the moment you receive the NOA2. It'll take a little time to get your case from the service center to the NVC and on to the consulate. Unless Armenia are very slow with turning them around - in which case, maybe apply a few weeks before you're expecting NOA2.

You can always start getting your vaccinations in line from your regular doctor, but you can't have the medical (or even schedule it) until you have a consular case number from the NVC.

Read the K1 flowchart on this site - its very helpful in laying out the next steps.

I'll move this thread to the K1 progress forum so you can start seeing timelines of others who have filed around the same time as you. May be helpful in your planning.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsShould I contact congressman/woman for our K1 case?
I'm not following. Your petition was approved on Feb 4th, or you received NOA1 - which is just them telling you they've received your file?

If they received your case on Feb 4th, then you're likely not outside the normal wait times for your service center. If the petition was approved on Feb 4th and has not moved to NVC since, then yes, I would ask for someone to intervene at this point.

I'll move this thread to the K1 progress forum so you can compare your case to others with similar timelines.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNew Member Question
As long as you keep your timeline updated, the estimated times that they give you are pretty accurate. Ours took 4 months to get approved but now it seems to be taking less time. Of course after you get the approval, there will be more waiting depending on how long the file takes to get to the NVC and then to the embassy, collecting documents for the interview, etc...The main thing is that you are on your way...Good luck with everything! This website has been VERY helpful to us as well as the members on here. I am not sure what we would have done without it...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportshelp with fiances address
One other thing...worst case scenerio, all that will be sent to her is the packet 3 and packet 4. Packet 3 she will not have to have it to file the forms needed at the embassy anyway and packet 4 is the interview letter and from what I have read on VJ the embassy has a log of the names assigned for that particular interview date so even if the information is sent to her house, she may not need it anyway. That is if you do file a change of address and they don't get it in the system in time which would likely not happen but my point is you don't have to worry about that. Just focus on getting the I-129f sent in and getting her safe... This is the least of your worries

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportshelp with fiances address
I am so sorry that you guys are having to deal with that. Nothing is going to be sent to her until after you get the NOA2. You can go ahead and put her current address on the I-129f and then send in a change of address after she finds a place to live. You can even contact the DOS once you receive the NOA2 and change it then, you have some time. For this first part of the process, your address is the most important.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129 Has been sent and check cashed
My check was cashed quickly as well. No need to worry. At this point, once you get the NOA1, you won't hear anything from them unless you have an RFE or when the petition is approved. Don't let that worry you as well. It is just part of the process...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2009 K1 Filers, VSC
You should be okay..but there is no sure way of knowing...It took 4 months for our petition to be approved and we are headed into month 2 since getting our NOA2 and we still do not have an interview date. You have given yourself a good cushion but at the same time, there is no way to know what delays will come up in this process. If it were me, I would not book any tickets or put any large deposits down because you just never know. I never thought it would take this long just to get an interview...We still have not planned a date yet and we are getting close to the end...

Congrats on the NOA1! Good Luck with everything!!!

The NOA2 is valid for 4 months. 01/18/2010 is the expiration date. I would just try and get packet 3 in by that date.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsk1 prosess and waiting
We filed our K-1 at the end of May and just got our approval on Sept 23rd. Just be patient and give it time. This process takes time...more time than we would like. We had no notifications from USCIS until we were approved. Once you are approved, there is still more waiting...Also, I would fill in my timeline. It uses your information along with the other VJ members to give you an average time when you should hear back from USCIS.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsLooking for some help
I understand your anxiety. We filed back in May and our status stayed like that until September. The USCIS is getting petitions approved quicker than they were at that time but the only thing that I can say is just be as patient as you can be. Once you get the approval, there is still much more waiting and work to be done. Once our file was received by the London Embassy it was 61 days until we had an interview. I can honestly say...the waiting for the approval was much easier than waiting for an interview date. Right now, while you are waiting, I would start researching the next phase. There are some things that you guys can start working on now to get prepared. If you would like the information, please don't hesitate to let me know and I will be more than happy to help. Good luck! You don't have too much longer and believe me....there are a lot of us on here who know exactly how you feel...

According to the timeline stats here on VJ the average length of time for approval at VCS is 59 days. Good luck :thumbs:



Huh? I just looked and it had a whopping 33 days for VSC.


Even so, the OP hasn't even reached that....a little longer wait is in order. (I swear when I logged on this mornig and saw the "NOA2" title of the thread I got all happy there for a second that one of the January filers got lucky....but then I saw VSC. :( )


Oh yes, I totally agree - the OP is being a tad impatient!

I was just curious where jasman got 59 days.

Oooh, Jim&Gemz, where's yours!!!!!! That's just wrong.

TracyTN - to answer your earlier question, when I finally got Tim to pick up his mobile, he was very excited. But first he had me reconfirm that I said "approved," like he thought I said. All my blubbering! I was a wee bit emotional. He thought that's all it was, but wanted to make sure I wasn't crying over a denial!


And as for Packets 3 and 4 - bring 'em on!!!!! We've got nearly everything on the checklist already - save the police cert, which was ordered about 30 days ago. He knows where the Embassy is . . . .

C'MON NVC!


It IS quite wrong, isn't it? :angry:

And I love that story - Tim trying to make sure you were crying for a GOOD reason! ;) :D

Everything from here on out is pretty much a piece of cake - you're golden! :)
