K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCSC Slowdown
Yeah, I knew what the OP meant. I was just voicing the frustration that I remember oh so well. What's even scarier is that the entire fiance process used to be even slower than it is now. They've actually improved somewhat, from what I've read...!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCSC Slowdown

It does seem like CSC has slowed up a bit. But then I have to remind myself that the petitions from the filers here on VJ represent only a very small fraction of the total petitions CSC has to adjudicate. It's possible that there are not hardly any VJ petitions in the current batch they are working on. Anyway, thats my story and I am sticking to it...


Actually, that makes a lot of sense!

Cheers, Chad+Lira. Chas and I said the same thing tonight - maybe they saw our petition date and went 'hmm lets get a move on'. Ok maybe not, but it was funny to have the thought anyway! :P

Congrats on the NOA2! Great feeling, isn't it?

We're just a little ahead of you in the process (about a month) - I can tell you that London is moving with LIGHTNING speed at the moment. Hope you get there in time to benefit from their recent speed!

Well, that answers that then! I just couldn't remember seeing any of the Cuba filers talk about getting an interview date (though granted, I didn't really search for it either). So much for my silly theory!
TracyTNFemaleUnited Kingdom2007-05-01 07:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportscsc
The beneficiary's country DOES come into play at this point - mainly because DHS does database checks on both the USC and the non USC (check Huskerkiev's posts for info on that). So I'm sure that its more likely to get a name 'hit' in a search if you're from a country like Iran or Pakistan (as opposed to Canada or the UK) - thus it takes longer for them to research and resolve the 'hit'.

I found that odd about the Cuba filers, too. The only thing I thought is maybe their consular portion takes a looong time so they try to get those through first?

I think you actually have to phone them.

Just google 'tax transcripts' - you should get the number in one of the results.
TracyTNFemaleUnited Kingdom2007-05-02 18:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-134
I believe the above poster simply put in the instructions from the I 134 form itself - I suspect what you're asking is a bit deeper.

It sort of depends on the consulate and how much your income is. If you're well over the suggested guideline, you probably won't need as much. But you may be better off to ask others going through Colombia to see what they suggest.

London normally only takes the I 134 and employer letter (if your income is suffcient and you're not self employed). But I've loaded down my fiance with bank statements, tax returns, pay statements, etc. (just in case).
TracyTNFemaleUnited Kingdom2007-05-02 14:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsGot an RFE so far no progress

ARGH! That must have been so frustrating for you agnar. I'm mad on your behalf.

If USCIS would just put in the I-129F instructions what it tells people in RFEs about primary and secondary evidence, you could've sent that stuff the first time. They suck!

I really hope they get back to you soon.

(Also - you should consider posting about your RFE, what you had sent originally and what you sent later - in the pinned RFE thread in the main K1 forum. It's a good resources for other filers just starting out.)



guess what ?

USICS has clearly mentioned in the RFE letter not to send photographs, video recordings, emails , chat logs .

specifically asked us to send flight itineraries, baording passes, credit card payments made on our names, hotel bookings made on our names and luckily we have preserved them all and send them as our additinoal evidence of meeting

agnar


So essentially, they were asking you for primary evidence (which you did not initially include). They already had your secondary evidence (photographs).

An RFE shouldn't slow you down much at all. I remember Huskerkiev's thread where he said that cases with RFE's were usually set to one side of the adjudicators desk and they would know exactly where they were when the evidence was returned to them.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsin the 3rd week of waiting for NVC
This is crazy! CSC used to not be this lax in forwarding approved petitions to the NVC. Just another thing for them to be slow about, I guess (while Vermont seems to have their s*** together). Can't say I'm very surprised.

Seriously - you wait 3 months (if you're lucky) for the NOA2, then have to add 4 more weeks to that because they can't get off their a$$es and send a damn package to the NVC? :angry:

Notice how the only people experiencing NVC slowness are coming out of CSC? I didn't see anyone in this thread from VSC who had such a long wait from NOA2 to NVC.

I think we can likely say that the fault does not lie with NVC...!
TracyTNFemaleUnited Kingdom2007-04-30 21:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsin the 3rd week of waiting for NVC
This seems to be more and more common lately with the NVC. I wonder what the heck is going on? Its as if something has changed procedurely, as if they're somehow 'sending' them over differently or something. I'm not sure how else to explain such a delay - esp. one that seemed to come out of nowhere. It seems the group with NOA2s around 3/28 were the first ones experiencing such delays, which unfortunately seem to be continuing.

Very curious.
TracyTNFemaleUnited Kingdom2007-04-29 16:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsin the 3rd week of waiting for NVC

3 - 4 weeks is normal wait time.


Normal wait time for what? K1s to get to the NVC? Where are you getting that statistic? I'd be curious to see it.

Destiny - glad yours got there. Maybe that means some others stuck will follow yours soon. Still doesn't make any sense to me.

The USC can call the State Department from here in the US at (202) 663 1225. Then press 1,0,0 to talk to someone and ask. You'll need your case number.

J&G, I'm not sure why they issued an RFE if you sent the passport stamps already(you can't get much more 'primary evidence' than that) in your initial packet. -P


Its likely as simple as they lost what he sent them.

I just got your email, Jim, then came straight here. What you said about them adjudicating after receiving the evidence is true - I'd be half inclined to call your congressman again, tell them this BS, and he ought to request an expidite once your evidence is returned.

I'd just resend what you already sent, plus whatever else you can dig up, and put it in the mail first thing Monday.

F'ers.

Case statuses online are definitely NOT always accurate and/or updated properly. There a bunch of folks here whose cases were approved, but the status online never changed.

So don't take it as the gospel. You were right, though, to call and follow up (in this particular example).
