That's what i thought, got confused with all that  they told you over the phone...to wait for when they get to august, so all that 5 months thing doesn't mean much... I really wonder if someone else called to ask about petition and what date they told they are working on.

 

Well, I even bet with my fiance that we will be approved in January....he said it will be approved in February. LOL Let's see who gets a massage...headbonk.gif

 

Sparkle, just keep your head up... I know this is annoying and discouraging...and i could write a lot of different words about it, but who knows, maybe when you wake up your NOA2 notification will be in your email.rose.gif

How they work on July 16th petition if others from November and December are getting approved, so who is working on them?? I am totally confused how this whole thing works with USCIS.

Hi Trish, I read your post yesterday from august filers topic when i was trying to figure out how many people are there left from October and September, and it was totally unexpected that there are people still waiting that filed in August.....all my hopes that kids will start their new school year there went downhill reading that....shocked.gif

 

Of course no one knows how they are working on petitions and why they are approving it like they do, i only hope that things will get faster. Keep us updated and wish you all best.

Hi NovFilers,
Today I'm flying out to see my honey, possibly for the last time until he's here with me. I got my NOA2 hard copy yesterday, so, now I'm able to hand him a copy of the petition I sent in and replies, I don't know what else I could bring him he may need because I don't know what the embassy will ask for.
I pray and wish everyone a splendid week with positive feedback.

Good luck all,
KTich?




 

Have a great time :)

 

Hopefully there will be some good news on this topic by the time you get back.

I thought RFE ( request further evidence ) is requested/ sent before the approval notice.

 

 

Really? Pheeew, I guess I am just being paranoid rolleyes.gif

 

Thanks KTichUsZim :)

No, I didn't call, the timeline changes on its own lol :D

 

Today it is: Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between December 13, 2013 andDecember 23, 2013*. 

 

 

Actually I think that they count from NOA1 date, maybe I am wrong? unsure.png

I'm in almost the same situation - mine are 11 and 8. smile.png
 
They will also need to do the medical exam, and you will also need to pay for their fee - three visa fees, not cheap. As for papers, you will need their birth certificates, and either a letter of authorization of immigration from their father, or your custody papers, if you have sole custody.



Oh great...I am not alone with kids in here lol

So everything should be done 3 times...wow really not cheap at all.

Birth certificates we already sent, my previous marriage certificate (because of the name change) and divorce from the court....so the only thing for them I will need letter from their dad?





K&ZFemaleCroatia2013-12-19 10:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2013 TSC Filers

Thank you smile.png

 

 

We are not in a rush....since i have two kids from previous marriage (10 and 8), we are waiting for school to finish in here first, and kids need to see their dad before leaving.....and then we can move. (....but of course I am still totally obsessed with checking on our status!!! lol)

 

 

I wanted to ask, does anyone know the procedure about K2 visa, what papers kids need, what are the fees, do they also need medical..etc.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJust a few questions about our Cr-1 application
Ok, another quick question. On our I-130 form, we filled out the forms with her maiden name, as she didnt want to get all of her identification changed immediately with the new name(particularly with the passport and how much time it might take to get a new one), so we were going to wait. Well someone pointed out to us that if you get your green card issued in your maiden name, it can be a bit of a pain to get it changed to your married name. So the question is, since we started the 130 with the maiden name, can we fill in the next stage of paperwork with the new married name? Or will this cause some sort of issue with the difference? Will the consulate care that her IDs are in her maiden name, or will she have to get them all changed before her interview?

Thanks again.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJust a few questions about our Cr-1 application
another quick question. she is in the UK looking at getting a certified copy of her birth certificate for the next phase of paperwork... does she need to get the copy " registered for overseas use", which is 75 pounds, or just a regular certified copy, which is only 15?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJust a few questions about our Cr-1 application

you can get a lot of help since your military, call this number,1-877-247-4645 or militaryinfo.nsc@dhs.gov---good luck.

I called that military number before i was submitting my initial packet and Im not sure the line is any different, other than maybe a shorter wait time. I got a guy that was obviously just reading off of a prompt and couldnt really answer any of the questions I had.


Another question I had...on some of the timelines in peoples signatures, they send in the AOS packet and the immigrant visa packet at seperate times, but the EZGuideSpouse site says to send them both at the same time...does it matter either way? is one better than the other?

Yes, she is from the UK and I am a full US citizen

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJust a few questions about our Cr-1 application

Sounds to me like something went slightly wrong here. She shouldn't have to do the biometrics, that's only is she would already live with u in the states and file for adjustment of status. I'm not 100% sure so I hope the true experts will answer on that one too.

Yea, after re-reading that, I misread what it said. So I think that part of it has been clarified.

Thanks

Just logged into the case status on the USCIS website and saw something about biometrics...is that for both of us, or just the person trying to get the visa? Also, will they mail the scheduling of this to me or her?

Ok, so I gather that the expedition is a loss. Mark that off. On further inspection, I see the form I received Was actually a first Notice of Action dated dec 19th.

So to further expand on my questinos...what exactly is going to happen next..particularly over the next couple of months? Is there paperwork I can fill out now before I leave that might be required over the next couple of months? Id like to get anything that I might have to sign filled out and ready to be mailed if necessary.

Thanks again

Also...filled out the timeline.

Also, more about visiting on the visa waiver...does anyone have any first hand experience? It just seems ridiculous that she couldnt come visit for a couple of weeks or a month while the visa is processing. Plus were talking a $1000 ticket...and theres no way I can guarantee she will be admitted?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJust a few questions about our Cr-1 application
Just a little background...Im in the military ,was visiting the UK on some training and met my now wife, Amelia. After a couple months together in her country, then a couple of months of chatting through skype and emails, she came over on the visa waiver program. We then decided to get married. We filed her application while she was still here, but she is now back in the UK. We received a receipt for our application, but still nothing other than that as of yet. Says they received it on the 19th of Dec. It looks like right now were waiting on a notice of action. Anyone with any recent experience tell me how long this takes?

Another question...I will be taking a short trip over seas(realm of 2 months) and was wondering if anyone has had any experience getting an expedited case for something like that? Any advice on how to go that route?

Also, I will be leaving for this trip very soon...what do I need to put together on my end(for the next phase of the process) before i leave so she already has the paperwork? Once I get there, for that 2 months, I will have no access to any additional paperwork that might be needed, so I need to make sure that is taken care of before I take off.

Also, has anyone had experience using the visa waiver to visit while the visa application is processing? When she came over before(when we got married) she stayed for 2.5 months...would she be able to stay for a month or two while the application is processing if she showed the border officials the paperwork was in process? Also, say her visa came through while she was over on the visa waiver, would she have to leave and then return again(seems like a stupid question..but you never know with this stuff) or would she just be allowed to stay since she now had a valid visa?

Any help or advice anyone can give is greatly appreciated. Ive been using the step by step guide, but sometimes getting a little first hand experience is priceless.
